Young Aussie Carries
Trabert 10 Five Sets;
Seixas Wins Easily
BY the Asseeiafsd Press

ADELAIDE, Australia, Jan. "a.
Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert,
heroes of the United States Davis
Cup triumph last month, reached
the quarter-finals of the AUS
tralian national tennis cham
pionships today.
Seixas, United States cham
pion from Philadelphia. sailed
through Malcolm Anderson, a
young Australian, 60, 60.
So, but Trabert had to go all
out to defeat young Neale Fraser
of Australia, 1--6, 3-6, 6-1,
6-4, GA.
Two other Americans, both
Junior players who came here
with the Davis Cup squad to gain
experience, were eliminated by
Aussie stars. Rex Hartwig
dropped q set in beating Mike
Green of Miami Beach, Fla,
6-1, ell, 60, 6-2. while
Mervyn Rose, the defending
champion, trounced Gerry Moss,
of Modesto, Calf, Is. 60
6-1.
Hoad and Rosewall Advance.
Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall
the Aussie Davis Cup team, also
reached the quarter finals. Hoad
| trounced young Warren Wood
cock, 6-1, 60, 6-3, while
Rosewall ousted England's Roger
Becker, 60, 1--6, 81, 60,
after an unexpected struggle.
Seixas, at the top of his game
against the 19-year-old Queens
lander, was never forced to try
hard for points in the 45-minute
match. Anderson damaged leg
| muscle in upsetting Don Candy
| in the first round Saturday and
was not able to run hard for
points.
Seixas played most Of the
match from the baseline and
hit many clean winners from
that spot.
Tony Misjudges Shots.
Trabert, on the other hand
had a hard time with Fraser
whose spin type of attack was
perfectly suited for the blustery
crosscourt wind which blew dur
ing their match. In the first
two sets Trabert could not Judge
the balls flight and hit it OF
the wood Of his racket.
But he pulled his game to-
gether by the time the third set
started and won the first game

Catcher Box
Cut DrasticaIIy;;
.SpeedupSought
Stop-Wutch Tests
Due on 20-Second
Rule for Pitchers
BY the A.soeia,ed Pres,

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The in.
territorial pass may boomerang
this season under a new base
ball rule whacking the catcher's
box from is feet of roaming
room to only 43 inches.
That is the outstanding change
among 40 revisions this year by
the Official Playing Rules Com
mittee. The group also is ask
ing both major leagues to use q
stop-watch as an experiment TO
see how many times pitchers
are not delivering the ball within
20 seconds when the bases are
empty.
The changes were disclosed to-
day by Jim Gallagher. business
manager of the Chicago Cubs.
who serves as chairman of the
nine-man rules committee.
The catcher's box win be re-
duced to a rectangular area, 43
inches wide. directly behind
home plate, which is II inches
wide. The former triangular
catcher's box flared back to q
16-foot width.
Under the new rule a wild
pitcher might toss one that q
long -limbed hitter like Ted VIII
liams could smash for q hit.
If the catcher gets outside his
43-inch box before the ball
leaves the pitchers hand. q balk
will be called.
Test With Stop Watch.
A rule prodding pitchers to
deliver the ball within 20 seconds
with the bases unoccupied long
has been on the books. Now the
American and National Leagues
are asked to experiment with
its enforcement during spring
training by use Of a stopwatch.
The penalty is calling of q
ball" by the umpire. The rule
is directed against ''senseless and
unnecessary delays" The stop
watch plan will not be used
during the regular season.
An interference revision stems
from an incident in the Cincin-
nati-Milwaukee game last Sep
tember % which caused Warren
Giles, National League president.
to order a replay Of the final
inning.

The two-week examination lull
| in college basketball ends Sat-
urday night when practically
every major team in the country
takes the court again. But.
meanwhile, the Northwestern
and Tulsa teams have things
other than exams on their minds
tonight.
Northwestern, current leader
of the uprand-down Big Ten
race with a 81 mark. could take
a commanding lead by defeating
Minnesota tonight in Minneapo-
lis. The Gophers are in a three
way tie for second place with
Illinois and Iowa, all showing
80 records.
The Wildcats are the fourth
outfit in the past three weeks to
climb atop the league. They
pulled ahead by upsetting Iowa,
93-73. last Saturday. while Mich
igan State was dropping Mime

favored and would take over the
Big Ten lead with a victory.

his club to Saltwater, Okla. to

Colorado, the Big Seven pace
setter with three victories and
no defeats, has a date with Iowa
State in Boulder. This shouldn't
be any problem for the Buffaloes
since Iowa State has lost four
of its five conference games.
Here's how the other major
conferences stand:
Ivy League-Cornell and Penn

AS Bolt Wins Open
BY III. As.eeioied Pres.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. "a
The 1855 San Diego $4,000
Open golf tournament will be
registered officially as one cap
tured by Tommy Bolt, with a
14-under-par score of 274. for a
2.400 payoff.
In San Diego. however. it will
be remembered as the one Gene
Littler lost, beaten back to
seventh with a score of 279.
Sandwiched between Bolt and
Littler, in the official records,
will be the names of Johnny
Palmer, the runnerup to Bolt;
Ted Kroll. Freddie Haas, Bo
Wininger and Jack Burke.
Bolt surged out in front with
his first-round GA and never let
loose of the lead, with middle
rounds of 81 and 70, and wound
up yesterday with a neat and
successful II.
Crowd CheerS Llttlef.
With Littler, a pro just one
year, things were different. He
is the idol of golf bugs here. his
hometown. He won the recent
rich Los Angeles Open and cap
tured the San Diego event as an
amateur in 1854. He was the
general favorite this year.
Littler looked strong with his
opening 69-66, just four strokes
behind Bolt at the midway
point of the tournament.
Littler took a shot and the gal
lery cheered. Bolt took a shot
and the silence was tremendous.
No one was impolite. It was
simply that San Diego was root
ing for the young man of "a who,
most experts agree, is destined
for great things in golf.
Then two days ago Littler, as
any good golfer viii do, had a
bad day. He shot a 73. 1t showed
him well back.

Adequate publicity has been
given Nielsen's impressive VIC

The feeling was that Bennett,
generally considered the best bet
to wipe out the oldest world rec
ords on the book-the indoor and

would win easily WITH Meredith

chief opposition. NOBODY had
ever heard of Range which is
understandable. The 21-year-
old Negro's previous experience
had been limited to high school
competition in Los Angeles. The

not overlooking anything in an
effort to win all the tamales in

Add to these Fred Wits easy
