.Sedgman 10 Remain
An Amateur, He Says
Nv me Assoeioied Press

SYDNEY. Australia, Jan. So
Frank Sedgman, Australian Davis
Cup ace, said today. "It seems
pretty certain now I viii remain
an amateur for life"
Writing in Sydney's Sunday
telegraph. the 24-year old tennis
ace said:
81 will try to establish myself
in the business world in the next
half dozen years while tapering
off my international tennis ca
reer."
Sedgman's announcement struck
a long-range blow at the United
States hopes Of regaining the
Davis Cup. The Australian beat
both Vic Seixas and Ted Schroe-
der and teamed with Ken Nc
Gregor to take the doubles in the
challenge round last month.
Sedgman was offered several
professional contracts, including
one by Bobby Riggs, former United
States champion. He declined to
sign, however, saying he would
help to defend the cup this year
after playing at Wimbledon again

their regular positions. Jim
Weatherall, who kicked the
North's two extra points, and Bill
Pearman of Tennessee both played
defensive end although they are
All-Americans at tackle.
Anothey oddity was the fact
that neither team had a head
coach. Steve Owen of the New
York Giants, the South's mentor,
had to leave before the game for
Kinsley, Kans., where his brother,
Paul, died last night. Paul Brown,
of the Cleveland Browns, head
coach of the North team, left
Wednesday to coach one of the
teams for the professional all
star game next Saturday in Los
Angeles.
Jimmy Phelan, coach of the
New York Yanks, and AL Sherman,
Owens assistant, took charge of
the South squad, while Brown S
regular Cleveland assistants. Fritz
Heisler and Wilbur Eubanks,
handled the North squad.
Neither team could get going
right in the first period, which
was marred by six fumbles. One
of these, by Bimbo Melton of
Alabama, was recovered by Texas
Don Menasco and gave the North
the ball on the South Is. How
ever, the South got it back on
the very next play when Iowa S
Bill Reichardt fumbled and Tu-
lanes Jerome Hellium recovered.
Shortly after this came Dooley's
tumble which gave the North an
other chance from the South's six.
Reichardt, who divided the full
back duties with Modzelewski all
afternoon, smashed to the one in
three attempts. Mighty Mo then
went in to finish the job.
Then, after intermission, Dorow
made his spectacular touchdown
run with an intercepted pass and
there was little doubt that the
Yanks would win. But then Parill
and Wadiak partially got the
Rebels back in the game and
Dorow was called on to wrap it up
once and for all.
Soon after the final quarter
opened, Dorow, Quarterback John
Coatta Of Wisconsin, Reichardt
and Clifford got the North moving
again. With Modzelewski pulling
the fake, Dorow passed three yards
to Clifford to end the 67-yard
march.
The work Of Dorow~ and Coatta
was particularly outstanding in the
backfield, while the top linemer
