whelmed Miss Brough, four-time
Wimbledon winner, with slash
ing serve and volley game.
Then she faced a national tele-
vision audience and said: ,a...

the ability and opportunity to ap-,
pear here. l hope to wear the crown
with dignity and humility" 4sR
Championship trophies were pre-
sented by Vice President Richard
Nixon, who said he had never be-
fore seen women's tennis match.
Doubly HonOred
Miss Gibson said afterwards:

Elizabeth ii and now l have won
here before our vice president. It.
was thrill to win Wimbledon but
it was climax to win here before
so many of my friends and we'll

Althea's decisive triumph over
Miss Brough must have been dou-
bly, pleasing because it was Miss
Brough who throttled Miss Glib
sons first bid for the title back
in 1850.
At that time the unknown Miss
Gibson was within two points of
upsetting Miss Brough in a sec
ond-round match when a violent
thunderstorm struck and forced
postponement. The next day Miss
Brough, her poise recaptured,
pulled out the match.
Althea continued trying, reach
ing the final last year before los
ing to Shirley Fry. Now she is
the undisputed queen of amateur
tennis-winner of eight straight
tournaments and unbeaten in a
match since last January.
Although constantly called for
footfaults-a total of seven times
in all because she is sometimes
inclined to hop with both feet on
her delivery-she never was in
danger against the 34-year-Old
Californian.
Won First Set
Moving to the net for deep and
sharply-angled volleys and over
head kills, she won the first set
by winning the last four games in
a row. In the second set, after
being broken in the first game in
which she dubbed an easy over
head, she reeled off another string
of four games and won easily.
Later Miss Gibson revealed that
she would continue tennis-playing
next in the Colorado championships
at Denver-while pursuing a sing
ing career.

Adlai Stevenson turned up
at the Gridiron Clubs tradi-
tional Sunday reception yes

skits long enough to laugh a
second time at the razzing
members had given him the
night before.
According to all reports, the
former presidential candidate
who made the Democratic
speech at the clubs formal
stag dinner Saturday night,
started his speech with such
brilliance and wit you could
have heard a pin drop. How
ever. the latter part was ap-
parently quite political and
hard-hitting. In referring to it,
Mr.. Stevenson said yesterday
he had always thought the
Gridiron Club was a good place
Tor exchanging punches in
stead of mere pleasantries.
He arrived with his running
mate. Senator Estes Kefauver.
and Nancy. They had just had
him out at their house where,
said Nancy, the children had
been all over him.
Mr.. Stevenson seemed in
gay spirits as he recalled to
Baroness Silvercruys and Mrs.
Fred VinSon an amusing Noel
Coward poem he once recited
to Princess Margaret Rose.
I'VE had a rendezvous in
Jamaica two years ago." he
kidded, referring to the
Princess state visit there. Did
he like Princess Margaret
He certainly did. Did he think
she had charm? "She has
everything" stated Adlai with
