Gonzales Beats MuA|oy
To Spice Bowl Tennis
By the Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 90
Richard "Pancho" Gonzales of Los
Angeles has smashed, lobbed and
fought his way into what looks to
to be an enviable position in the
Sugar Bowl invitational tennis
tourney here.
The 19-year- r-old youngster yester-
day won himself a semifinals ticket
with an upset victory over Davis
Cupper Gardnar Mulloy Of Miami
Fla. Today Gonzales figures to
breeze into the final round Of play
Mulloy's No, 3 United States
rating meant nothing to the 18th
ranked Californian yesterday as he
completely took the play away from
the favorite before a partisan crowd
bowling for an upset.
There's a good chance that Con-
zales' opponent in the final will be
No. 2 ranked Ted Schroeder o1
Glendale, Calf. Gonzales needs
only victory over United States
Junior Champion Herbert Buddy
Behrens of Rollins College to carr
his finals berth.
Schroeder's opponent will be
either third-seeded Victor Seixas
of Philadelphia, or Gardner Larned
of Chicago. Seixas and Larned, who
battled yesterday to 6-4, 4-6
draw when darkness halted play,
will meet today in a deciding set to
determine who goes into the semi
finals.
Behrens advanced to the semi
finals by virtue of 10-8, 6-1 vic
tory over Richard Balbiers, Rollins
College student who is champion
of Chile.
Schroeder won his quarterfinals
match from Herbert Flam of Los
Angeles, rated. 18th nationally, by
scores of IS, 81, 6-1.

Conodiun Coach Praises
U. 5. Olympic Ice Team
By the Assoeioted Press


BOSTON, Dec. 29.-The 1948 Uni
ted States Olympic hockey team,
which outskated the powerful Uni
versity of Toronto sextet, IA, Sat-
urday, is described by Toronto Coach
Ace Bailey, former big Lacquer, as
"a good team"
That observation from the astute
Bailey was made after the blue var
sity had been defeated by the United
States team before $500 fans at
Boston Arena.
Bailey, whose playing career was
cut short decade and a half ago
when he suffered a severe skull frac-
ture in a game against the Bruins
in Boston, is not one to toss such
statements around loosely.

Maryland and Georgia
Expected 10 Count
Heavily on Passes
By George Huber
Stor stoff Correspondent

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 29.-
A lot of passing is in store for the
$4,000 Gator Bowl fans who will
turn out Thursday for the battle
between Maryland and Georgia.
Georgia's main offensive this year
has been the passing Of Johnny
Rauch, who was bested only by Mis-
sissipi's Charley Conerly as a COL
legiate aerialist this season, and
there's no reason to suspect that
Coach Wally Butts is going to
change Georgia's tactics.
Indications are that Maryland,
which has had a well-rounded at
tack almost equally divided between
tossing and running, is going to
use lot more passes than usual in
the New Year Day game. Much Of
Maryland's last-minute practicing
at the Naval Air Station near here
has been devoted to its passing at
tack as engineered around Quar-
terbacks Vic Turyn, Joe Tucker.
Jack Targarona and Stanford
Levine.
Running Attack Polished.
Turyn and Tucker have been
used by Coach Jim Tatum most Of
the time and they are doing very
we'll in practice. but the possibili-
ties of both Targarona and Levine
must not be overlooked. Targarona
saw little action this year and
Levine none at all, but both are
81, ,-ooSu fn etnn in
and fill the quarterback slot for the
Terrapins with no trouble at all.
Coach Tatum is not overlooking
last-minute polishing of his run
ming attack, however. Lu Gambino
is the key man, and although the
Bulldogs will be watching him par
ticularly, they should have their
hands full stopping him. Also get
ting plenty of practice running with
the ball are Harry Bonk, the Old
Liners main threat from the full
back slot, and Halfbacks Johnny
Idzik and Jim Larue.
Terps tn Two-hour Drill.
The Terrapins staged two-hour
workout yesterday morning. and
took off the afternoon for trip
to st. Augustine and Marlneland.
Afternoon drills were on the slate
for today and tomorrow, with only
chalk talks slated Wednesday, the
day before the game. More than
half of yesterdays time was spent
on pass defense, an item in which
the Terrapins have excelled all sea-
son, but which still must be at Its
best if the Old Liners hope to stop
Rauch.
The Terps did not scrimmage
Yesterday, having had tough one
the day before, but some individual
linemen were put through blocking
drills. No more contact work will
be given them between now and
game time
Coach Tatum appears fairly well
pleased at the way things are 60
ing, and even goes SO far as to admit
that he thinks Maryland's running
attack is better than Georgias. He
does give the Bulldogs an edge in
the line and in its passing attack.
Georgians to Work Out.
Georgias Coach Butts will be
heard from later He arrived today
with a squad of A players and had
a light workout scheduled at the
city baseball park.
Only casualty on the Maryland
squad is Coach Tatum. Tatum is
the victim of heavy cold, and had
to forego yesterdays sightseeing
trip with the rest of the Old Liners.
Trainer Duke Wyre reports all the
players in exceptionally good shape,
with mot even a hurt pinkie," as
he put it. The water, food and bill
letting arrangements all agree with
the players, and they are in excel
! lent spirits.

Princeton Uses Balloons
In Cosn1jc Ray Test

PRINCETON, N. j., July IL (P.-
A group OF Princeton University
scientists sent into the stratosphere
today flight of misunderstanding
balloons to measure atomic explo.
xions induced by cosmic rays.
DR.. Henry de Wolf Smyth, di.
rector of the naval research pro.
gram sponsoring the fight, said the
cosmic explosions were similar tc
those which produced the atom
bomb, but were single explosions
and not q chain reaction as in the
bomb.
He explained that the atomic ex.
plosions are natural phenomena
similar to the atomic explosions in
duced artificially by the cyclotron.
The 28 balloons, in several clus-
tiers secured by nylon rope, carried
II pounds of instruments, and were
expected to reach a height of &C
miles. They were feet in diameter
on the ground, but were expected
to expand to "a feet in the rarel
atmosphere Of high altitude.
The readings of the instruments
were to be broadcast to the naval
ordnance laboratory at Princeton
University by radio.
The free balloons were expected
to reach their full ascent at night
fall, and, judging from prevailing
winds, to fall into the Atlantic
Ocean. DR.. Smyth, who wrote the
Ws~ Department report on atomic
energy, attached name plates to the
equipment in the hope that should
it fall on land, it would be returned
to Princeton University.

rackets boosts the sound volume at
times to a rating of between 10 and
80 decibels. This is about equal to
the noise on San Francisco's Market
street during the busy hours, he said.
Market street is an especially noisy
thoroughfare because it has four
streetcsr tracks.
Waves of the east coast Of Florida
whipped up by a 27-nile wind pro-
duces noises in deep water as high
as 80 decibels, or slightly less than
the Market street clatter.
The croaker, common fish in the
Chesapeake Bay area, makes
drumming noise which reaches a
crescendo about sunset and has been
rated as high as 119 decibels, which
Is equivalent to the noise of DC-s
airplane, largest of the two-engine
transports.
The biggest nolse-maker produced
by man is the victory siren, used In
wartime to signal raid warnings. It
had q rating of 155 decibels.

cist at the University of California
