Win Over FroehIinq
Tunes Riggs for
Indoor Final
Bobby Beots Net Game
Carried by MeNeiII
To Title Round
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2.-Bobby
Riggs got taste yesterday of what
he's going against today when he
faces Don McNeill in the final round
of the national indoor tennis tourna-
ment.
But from the way Bobby took to
the preview, it appeared he would
be able to cope with McNsills best
offerings.
The experts early consensus was
that McNeill would blast Riggs like
Joe Di Maggie does the ball on one
of his better days. Bobby changed
some minds when he whipped Frank
Froehling. his fellow Chicagoan, in
the semifinal round yesterday.
Froehling and McNeill have sew
eral points in common, besides blond
hair. Froehling is a forehand slug
ger, like McNeill. and gets as much
depth to his drives as Don ever did.
But Riggs handed Froehling with
nonchalant dexterity.
So it is fairly certain that If
McNeill beats Riggs, it won't be
merely because of his superior driv-
ing power. With the versatility of
a true champion, Riggs has learned,
in the short space of 10 days, how
to act on boards. And with the ex-
perience against Froehling under
his belt, Bobby isn't going to be
greatly awed by blasting tactics
alone.
McNeill reached the final round
two days ago, and consequently had
day of from singles yesterday.
Being a wel-rounded performer.
chances were he would change his
methods to such an extent today
that the expected slugging would
appear only rarely.

This is the ninth game in the

holds 5-3 margin in the rivalry,
although the current coaching duel
between Reinhart and Lapchick
finds the former holding a 81 edge.
Although there may be a change
in the G. w. lineup with Lud Urick
replacing Red Auerbach, Reinhart
had not announced it this afternoon.
