in TENNIS MEET
George Lyttleton- Rogers And
w. C. Choy Eliminated In
BrOokline Play

BROOKL1NE, Mass, Aug. 20
RHThe faint flicker of a threat
that the Mems National Doubles
titles would fall into foreign hands
for the third time in four years
was erased in speedy fashion to-
day when the nations top tennisers
put on their delayed opening at

cupster and the experienced Frank
Froehling, of Chicago, bowed te
Joe Hunt, the U. S. Naval academy
star, and Ted Olewine, of L o S
Angeles, 81, rs, 6-2.
Choy and his aide, Little Johnny
Palfrey, of Brookline and Harvard,
waged one of the most stirring
struggles on the opening program
before surrendering to Earl Bart
lett and Joe Evert, one Of tn e
many Los Angeles tandems in the
competition, in So, Ga, 60, rs,
81 fashion.
The rest of the mems COMPETE
ton ran its course in monotonous
fashion.
Topseeded Frank Parker, of
Beverly Hills, CAL, and DoA Nc
Neill, of Oklahoma City, gained
the second round on a default, and
the second ranking combine, Bob
by Riggs, of Chicago, and Welby
Van Horn, of Los Angeles, kept
pace with them by defeating Tom
Jansen and G. Holmes Perkins,
the veteran Bostonians, 81, 8-6,
81.
The other seeded pairs, J a c k
Kramer, of Montabello, Cal, and
Ted Schroeder, of Los Angeles, and
Gardnar Mulloy, Of Coral Gables,
Fla, and Henry Prusoff, Of
Seattle, also were among the VIC
tors, along with Wilmer Allison
and Johnny Van Ryn, of Austin,
Tex, who won this event here in
131 anG 1885.
Play in the women's section was
on similar lines. 3

Eight Thousand Farm Fami-

Result OF High Waters

RALEIGH, Aug. 20.-R-Repre-
sentatives of state and federal
agencies, meeting in Governor
Hoey's office, today mapped a pro-
gram to rehabilitate more than g.
600 North Carolina farm families
left in need by rampaging flood
waters.
Still hopeful that the unemploy-
ment compensation commission
can find a basis for paying benc-
fits to jobless industrial workers.
the governor sought to provide
cash income for destitute + r m
families through emergency WPA
projects.
Frank Dunlap, chairman of the
state highway commission, a n d
c. c. McGinnis, state WPA ad-
ministrator, agreed to coordinate
their effort to use unskilled WPA
workers in the repair of roads in
western North Carolina.
McGinnis said he would press
for increased WPA funds to take
care of all the people the welfare
department sends to u.s." Every
effort would be made to buy and
rent enough road equipment to pay
needy western farmers to work,
Dunlap declared. A report compil-
ed by the N. c. State college ex-
tension service showed that $3.50
families in 10 western counties are
in need of relief.
Governor Hoey also secured
pledges from Representatives OF
the farm security administration,
the emergency seed loan corpora
ton and the American Red Cross
to provide feed for cattle in west.
ern North Carolina.
The mountain section of the state
would be "set back five years.
Hoey said, if farmers are forced
by lack of pasture and need fol
cash to dispose of their livestock
Miss Cecile R. Kennedy of New
York city, National American Rec
Cross worker, explained that he1

Mobilization work as providing for
age for livestock, sending clothe!

Turning to the plight of tenant.
along the banks of the Roanoke
river, the governor described tn
relief job in the east as a ''planta
ton problem" rather than one O
individual farms" like those Ii
the west. Dunlap estimated tina
1000 farm families along the Roam
oke river are in need of relief.
Short of emergency road pro

knowledge Of Opposition Vital
To Coaching, Says Jim Tatum

CHAPEL HILL, aug. 20.-R-A
scout may know all the football in
the books, but he will be a failure
unless he can get across to his team
the important facts he has learned
about the opposition, Jim Tatum,
director of freshman athletics and
head frosh football coach at the
University of North Carolina, today
told visiting coaches attending the
university's 10Th annual coaching
school.
"a scout must be in a good frame
Of mind to accomplish the best re-
Suits" Coach Tatum said. HE must
recognize and respect the ability of
the team he is scouting. Belittling
opponents often proves disastrous.
"He should get a high seat near
the center of the field and should
never attend the game as a spec
tator, for he has a real job to do"
