NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-Many
of the worlds top-fight tennis play
ers took the stage today as thou
sands of visitors poured into gay
New Orleans from all over the
Nation for the star-studded events
of the Sugar Bowl sports carnival.
New Orleans, ever ready for
hilarity, took on the festive air Of
Mardi Gras as tennis competition
got under way with such METERS as
Bobby Riggs and Charles Hare,
No. players of the United States
and England, respectively, on hand.
The program opened formally
last night when the University Of
Kentucky Wildcats won a second
Sugar Bowl basket bali champion
ship by defeating the Ohio State
Buckeyes, SO to 30, in a fast and
rough, but cleanly played game.
The Wildcats defeated Pittsburgh
in the game here two years ago.
Court Game Draws Record Crowd.
Approximately 1000 persons crowd
ed into the Municipal Auditorium,
scene of the glittering carnival balls,
10 watch the basket ball game. It
was the largest attendance since the
event started. Many persons were
turned away at the door.
Although chief interest centered
on the Tulane-Texas Aggie football
game, which will attract 10000
spectators New Year Day, other
sports besides basket ball and ten
mis- will claim attention.
In the track competition set for
Sunday will be an all-star cast Of
nationally-known athletes, headed
by the Veteran Glenn Cunningham,
the ace Kansas miller, who estab-
'ished record here of 4:10.7 last
January /.
Interspersed with these major
sports events are boxing and row.

No Odds on Grid Game.
Amid all OF the activity along
the sports line and the gayety every
where, the betting on the outcome
of the Texas Aggies-Tulane game
remained at even money.
While the Aggies of Texas, un-
defeated and united, arranged Q
