3RD ROUND

Barring the downfall of Charles
Harris before the gangling George
Toley, seeded entries in the Miami
Biltmore tennis tourney today
faced the third round according to
plan.
Bobby Riggs and Byran Grant
led the net celebrities through the
second session by default and de-
feat, Riggs moving up on the defec-
tion of R. Dickinson of Miami and
Grant disposing of Oscar Evans Of
Miami, 60, 81.
1t was easy picking for Riggs,
who rates second in national
standings, as he drew a first-round
pass also and faces the round
three without having taken his
racquet out of the bag.
Toley hammered Harris into OBJ
livion with stellar play from base
line to net, settling for 8-6 and
6-4 in the upset. Other scores:
Arthur Hendrix, seeded fourth,
defeated Bud Hart of Miami, 60,
81. Martin BuXby, sixth seeded,
trimmed Campbell Gillespie of
Miami, 60, 8-6.
Barred by illness yesterday,
Wayne Sabin must undertake a
doubleheader today to bring him
self abreast of his competitors.

balls all-time record crowd of

Southern California, the in

posed to be making the offer.

fine with everybody, except, as
1 say, with the selected bene-
ficiary.
It wasn't that U. S. C. didn't
consider De Correvont a good
buy" using that term in its
broad or free-style meaning. 1t
was only that he's such good
buy" speaking in the vernacu-
lar, that everybody will think
that that's exactly what hap
pened to him.
I'd, therefore, say that, when
the young man does pick a uni
versity at which to finish his
football, the announcement will
not come Immediately. They'll
probably wait until half the peo-
pie are all worked up over
Schmeling and Louis and the
other half have him mixed up
