eighth annual Sugar Bowl sports
program was scheduled to start to-
day with opening matches OF the
tennis tournament, an eight-oared
shell race and sailing regatta.
At a glance the tennis field ap-

cause it contained only five OF the 10

as could be arranged because two
of the 10. Bobby Riggs and Frankie

Jack Kramer, were late returning
from a Latin American tour.
Two of South Americas outstand-

field.
