Words Have Opposite Meaning

Thousands of the words we use
have an entirely opposite meaning
to that of the words from which
they sprang. Pretty, quite compli-
mentary, comes from the Anglo
Saxon praettig, which meant tricky
or sly. The adjective nice has a
pleasant meaning but it comes
from the French, nice, meaning fool
ish or simple, and its real origin is
the Latin, necius-ignorant, says
Pearson's London Weekly.

Strong Defense
Of Davis Cup
Riggs Aim
Trophy to Stoy Here
If Netmen Hustle,
Bobby Believes
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Bobby Riggs,
Americas top-ranking amateur
tennis player since Don Bulge
turned pro. has but one burning
ambition these days: Keep the
Davis Cup in the United States.
And he thinks it can be done II
the flrst-f1ight candidates for the
cup team get into perfect condi-
ton and make every effort to reach
their peak for the international
matches"
IT think" Riggs said, that we
have an even chance to retain the
cup even if Bulge is gone, but I
wouldn't say our chance is better
than $3.50.
I'VE should be able to round up
a good team from the candidates. I
rate Sid Wood. Elwood Cooke, Frank
Kovacs, Gene Mako, Bitsy Grant
and Joe Hunt as definite Cup posi-
bilities in the singles, but I don't
know whether all are available.
Plans Summer Campaign Only.
I'm the doubles the only thing to
do is to give all tandems an ample
chance to show their stuff, then
pick the one with the best record
The United States is bound to miss
Bulge and Mako in the doubles. but
Mako may be able to find another
player who can carry on with him.
I hear he's planning now to play
with Jack Tidball of Seattle
Riggs, whose initial invasion of the
East three years ago brought him
fourth place in the national rankings
at the age of IS, plans to skip most
of the winter meets this season and
conserve his energy for strenuous
summer.
I've been wanting to 60 to Europe
for two years, so I'm going over next
year for my first try at the French
and Wimbledon titles" he said,
adding that he also would take in
several Eastern tournaments and, of
course, the national singles compe-
tition.
No Pro Tennis Ideas.
Asked if pro tennis might eventu-
ally claim him. Riggs said:
Il haven't any ideas about pro
tennis at all. All I'm interested in
right now is keeping in trim to do
my best in helping this country hold
onto the Davis Cup"
