PAGER of the District Women's

1t would be a distinct upset If
Freddie Martin, the first-round
leader, prevailed in the mems
although his capability
is attested by a 122 average with
the jenkins Sheet Metal team in

Tournament inexperience might
handicap him severely.
Pat Crescent. highly capable
of winning anything in duck
pins, is in a fair way of repeat
ing his victory OF 1855 in the
tournament. He would be the
first to win it twice. Pat is only
six pins behind.
To be reckoned with is John

overcome an uncanny slump that
endured through most of this

Faced with the task Of con-
tinuing the Big Tens domina-

Halfback Collins IMike) Hagler
and Tackle John Burroughs,
both juniors.
Hagler. a 163-pound speedster,
is the only real breakaway threat
on the Iowa squad, according to
Evashevski. and Burroughs, a
Irangy 2l5-pounder, usually is the
blocker who springs him loose.
1t was through a hole made by
Burroughs that Hagler raced for
his 53-yard touchdown against
Notre Dame in the Hawkeyes'
last game.
Runs Of SO yards were not un-
common for Hagler at ARM

predicted a brilliant future. AS
IA freshman at Iowa. Hagler
picked up where he had left of

Imores, earning their letters and

fact. the Iowa Press Book, pub
lished in August, listed them on
the starting eleven. However,

boys to second-team berths.
Burroughs Injured
Burroughs suffered a shoulder
injury in the preseason drills,

Both Seixas and Flam were
impressive in workouts yesterday

II am amazed at Vic's and

don't think Australia is a cinch

Flam showed none Of the
effects of his recurring leg
cramps and announced he would
be ready to go.
More than 5000 came out to
witness the practice although the
Aussies are prohibitive favorites.
Look Great, Trabert Says
"Ge. Vic and Herhie look
great" said Tony, who went al
most a set with each and had
his troubles. They are hitting
the ball solidly. They are moving
in to catch the ball on the rise
and hitting out strongly.
They're not trying to do things
with the ball but they're swing

Il believe this challenge round
could prove a surprise to a lot of
people If Vic and Herbie continue
playing as they are. think they
are in as good shape as we were
in 1854 when we won the cup.
and their attitude is wonderful.
Trabert said he felt that Hoad
and Rosewall are likely to feet
the pressure Of the cup round
and this might be disastrous.
"A challenge round is different
from an ordinary tennis match"
he said. ITS a great equalizer.
1t is like a football game on a

US. Proposes Russia Join With It
 In Making Photo Map of Pole
 With Nome -Murmansk Shuttle

WASHINGTON R-The United States has proposed that Russia join with it in making a photo map of the North Poles shifting ice cap.
 The proposal was advaneed in a note made public today by the State Department. Officials said it was delivered yesterday to the Soviet embassy.
 It proposed flights by US. and Soviet planes between Nome, AL aska, and Murmansk in the So- viet Union.
 Alternate flights shuffling be- tween these two points would be made on a one-a-week schedule during the March-September 1857 period. This is the period of max imum daylight in the arctic.
 The aerial photographing would be a project of the International Geophysical Year This is an l8- month world wide study, starting next July l. Its purpose is to take a long look at the earth-on land, in the air and at sea-so as to make accurate measurements.
 Details of the joint U.S.-Soviet photo mapping would be worked out thru diplomatic channels. 1.
 Soviet acceptance of the idea in principle is expected because Of informal discussions at an arctic conference in Stockholm last May.
 The US. committee at that meeting noted that both the Unit ed States and Russia would be measuring the polar ice cap. It suggested that they coordinate their efforts.
 They suggested pooling their resources, thereby making full runs between Soviet and US. territory, rather than stopping half way and having to turn back.
