Without a dissenting vote, the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-

cided that Pancho richly deserved
the honor and voted to rescind a
rule which would have deprived
him of the laurels on a techni-
cality.
Pancho, after winning the ma
tional championship in a breath
less five-set final with Ted
Schroeder, turned professional
and began a lucrative exhibition
tour with Jack Kramer and others

The rule, discarded at today's
meeting, said that any player who
turned pro before October Is
would not be eligible for national
ranking. AS amended. the rule
now says player must retain his
amateur standing only through
the national championships.
Had Gonzales been tossed out
of the ranking, Schroeder auto
matically would have assembled to
the No. ! spot and all others
ranked would have moved Up one
notch. Now they remain right
where they were.
