Il gave a lecture Sunday night

His companion saw what Mr..
Ives meant. He also saw the
spectacle of an entertainer who
was responding to an audience
with quite as much enthusiasm as
the audience had responded to
him. There was visible at the same
time a natural Snowman who, like
Laughton and a few others, knows
inStinctively all the tricks of being

Burns said the commission, en-
forcement body of the association,
was surprised that the Univers-
ity of Oklahoma was reported this
week to be looking for an escape
from the North Centrals ban on
subsidizing athletes.
It was rumored the Sooner
school may quit the Big Seven and
join the Southwest Conference
which operates under q different
accrediting association, although
Sooner President DR.. George L.

remain in the North Central re-

Tampa Coach Is
Worried About


TAMPA Up - Coach Marcelino
Huerta is showing signs of worry
ing about over-confidence when his
University of Tampa football team
plays Lenoir Rhyme In the Cigar
Bowl here Saturday night.
After a snappy dummy scrim-
mage Thursday Huerta said:
"The boys are physically fit and
now the big job is getting them
mentally right"
The Spartans have been really
up in the air since they walloped
their old rival, Florida State Uni
versity, 1876 Saturday.
They also might be tempted to
regard Lenoir Rhyme too lightly
because they are the only team
to beat the Bears in two seasons
(they did it 27-14 in 1851 and they
won handily this season from two
other members Of North Carolina S
North State Conference.

Tampa and Lenoir won decisively

ITALY WALLOPS
INDIAN METERS

The Italians couldn't play a lick
at the outset and were two sets
down before they knew what had
hit them. Then they started play
ing and the Indians couldn't do
anything right.
1t was pretty atrocious tennis
and no one could have foreSeen,
at that stage, the dramaticS in
store for the crowd of 1,500 in
the final set.
Unexpectedly all four players
found their games at once and
for so minutes, until Kumar netted
the decisive point, it was as thrill
ing as anyone would want to see.
It looked as though the Italians
meant to finish it in a hurry when
they broke Kumar's weak Serv-
ice and took a Gal lead, but with
defeat staring them in the face,
the Indians broke Del Bello back
in the 10th game to deuce it at
SIS.
Del Bello fell heavily going for
drop shot at the net in the 18th
game. He limped badly on his
right leg for several games while
Cucelli carried the burden.
With Del Bello serving in the
14th game the Indians reached
match point at 30-40 only to miss
their chance as the towering Misra
netted an easy shot.
Two games later they had Cuce1li
in the same predicament, but the
Stocky Italian brought off a beauti-
full volley that clipped the side
line to save it. The Indians had
their last big chance in the goth
game when they again took Cucelli
to 30-40. This time an error by
Kumar broke off a long rally at
the net.

BRISBANE, Australia B -
Italy's veteran Davis Cup pair of
Gianni Cucelli and Marcello del
Bello rallied from the brink of
defeat today to defeat India's stub
born combination of Sumant Misra
and Naresh Kumar in five-setter
and give their country a 2-1 lead
in the interzone Semi-final.
The score of the match, played
under a blazing sun, was 1-6, 1-6,
6-2, 6-2, 1911.
All the thrills were packed into
the final set which required so
minutes to play compared to only
"a minutes for the first two sets.
The Indians reached match point
three times in the 14th, 18th and
10th games, but couldn't get the
winning point when they needed
it.
Italy now win need TO win only
one of Saturdays concluding sim
giles to qualify for the interzone
final against the United States next
week at Sydney. Misra is sched-
uled to meet FauSto Gardini in
the first singles while Kumar and
Roberto del Bello finish it off.
It was learned after today's
match that Misra suffered either
a hernia or rupture in the closing
stages and probably will be unable
to play Saturday. In that case his
place will be taken by George
Basant who originally was brought
along as manager. Misra was
taken to a hospital.
Seldom is such a radical reversal
of form seen in first class tennis
as befell each pair in turn in the
first four sets today.

Actor Reveals
Marriage To
Girl He Aided

LONDON R-An American actor
has disclosed his marriage year
and a half ago to a British girl
who fell off a cliff at his feet
on Southern England's invasion
beaches in 1914.
Sam Byrd, A, Charleston, S. c.,
said he was married to Patricia
Ann Bolam, IS, in May. 1851, at
Carlisle, Cumberland, Eng.
Byrd, as a lieutenant in the us.
Navy, was beachmaster when
American forces were practicing
invasion tactics near Plymouth in
1914. Pat, then 10 years old, was
watching from a low cliff. A noise
startled her and she fell at Byrd's
feet. He stopped the practice and
took care of Pat who suffered a
sprained wrist.
Byrd met the girls family and
became her unofficial guardian.
Byrd took Pat to the U. S. in
1947 to have her finish her educa-
ton there.
He said the marriage was kept
secret to permit Pat to complete
her education and get foothold
in the theatrical business.
Byrd is to play a leading role
here in ''Stalag IT," He has
achieved distinction in the plays
Tobacco Road and "Of Mice
and Men"
Byrd lived in Sanford Fla, for
while and worked on the Sanford
Herald. He left in the 30s for New
York and later wrote a book
"Small Town South" an informal
book of life in and around Sanford.
