oday to be met by members of the
Orange Bowl Committee, city Off
cials and, naturally, a few of the
city's prettiest in bathing suits.
Georgia Tech does not arrive until
Saturday.
The new stadium addition. which
will increase the seating capacity to

seats sell for a fiat $6 each, with
a few boxes going at $40 per seat.

Big Five Ti|ts 10 GET

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The

Kramer-Riggs Match
Pits 5|uqger Against
Defense Master
By Cospor Names
Ser Staff

NEW YORK, December 26.-Pul-
verizing John r. Kramer, national
amateur champion recently turned
professional, and sharpshooting
Robert L. Riggs, professional cham
pion, will clash tonight in the most
widely discussed tennis match of
years before capacity crowd in
Madison Square Garden.
1t will be the first In series of
contests to decide the premier player
OF the world, for both Kramer and
Riggs are acknowledged the two top
men today batting the ball across
the net. Last year Kramer swept
through a season of tournament and
Davis Cup play without losing an
important match, and Riggs has
been equally dominant among the
pros.
The contest has added appeal in
that it is another in the long stand
ing debate as to which is better, the
top attacker or the stonewall de-
fender. Kramer is noted for his
hard serve, smashing drives and
decisive volleys. Riggs long has
been peerless as getter, sharp
shooting master of passing shots
and uncannily accurate lobber.
Both men, however, have the
strokes and resourcefulness to
switch games momentarily. Riggs
has been known to take the net
and volley sharply, and Kramer
can bide his time in the backcourt
without disaster. To this extent 1t
is not a battle of net rusher, like
Maurice Mclaughlin or r. Lindley
Murray, against the purely back
court stonewaller, such as Zenzo
Shimizu or Wallace Johnson. 1t is
rather another Little Bill" Johns
ton against Rene Lacoste, all court
players with one emphasizing the
attacking element and the other
the defensive side.
The customers tonight will have
the added treat Of watching Dinny
Pals, Australian Davis Cup star,
and Francisco Segura, effervescent
player from Ecuador, clash. Both
men, outstanding internationalists
turned professional to make the
tour with Kramer and Riggs.
The four men will make their ap-
pearance IN Washington on Janu-
ary % at Uline Arena. If they half
live up to anticipations, District
tennis fans should see ther, at their
best.

Philadelphia Eagles have mental
edge for Sundays National Football

the Chicago Cardinals that may
spell trouble for the heavily favored
Western division champs.
The Eagles were to work only a
half hour or so at Shibe Park on
Christmas Day but instead they
drilled more than two hours be-
cause the squad was not willing to
quit.
Il think they would have worked
out all day, Christmas or not, if I

Coach Earle Greasy Neale.

"I worried little that they
wouldn't be as much up mentally
as they were for the last two games
(when they defeated Green Bay

impossible for a group to avoid a
letdown in three straight games

gang has done it.
With the brand of football dis
played in the last two games, Neale
says the Eagles won't be chased out
of the park by the Cardinals or
anybody else.
In fact, Line Coach John Kelli-
son thought the Eagles line might
play the Cards right out OF their
