Sedgman rated Hoad and
Rosewall as "the best pair in

"Fiam is the boy who could

one. He is great scrambler who
will keep on getting the ball
back all day." Sedgman added.
If either of our boys should lose
confidence Flam could worry any
opponent off his game
1t would be a moral victory II
the Americans, with perhaps
their poorest team ever, should
squeeze out a single match in

would have suited Mary to a
tee.
Mary's next mate was the
weak noble Darnley, vain,
petty. morally bankrupt. Soon
she had fallen under the spell
of border lord named Both
well and between the two of
them they plotted Darnley's
murder-not, however, before
she had borne Scotland an
heir to the throne.
Historical DenOuement
The book is overlong. BY
half the telling Mary had been
won to Bothwell's lust and
had abandoned her dignity to
a pitiful degree. From the
books midpoint to its end the
tale is wound up with a more
or less historical denouement.
How strange is fate that the
two cousins, Mary Of Scotland
and Elizabeth, her executioner,
should never have met in life,
yet lie side by side in death
in Westminster Abbey.
Elizabeth was inferior to
Mary in many ways-and
MaIy's claim TO the English
throne had the support Of all
Catholics Of the day-but
Elizabeth loved the tight little
island. Mary didn't.

In such a background it

national game, and a boy was

it drove them into a bloody re-

When the religious history

phenomena of Billy Graham.
At the present time there is
every indication the North

Graham has outdistanced all
earlier evangelists in the num-

also roamed the world to con-

siderations barred previous
evangelists from even contem-
plating.
What kind of man is Billy
Graham, whose success even
his detractors must admit.
After all, hundreds of other
contemporary evangelists have
the same television, radio and
transportation aids at their
disposal. But the still-youthful
revival preacher possesses an
appeal surprising his rivals.
