Sovitt, OImedoMeetinq
For Indoor Net Title

The towering Barry had a
few more words Of discomfort
for Savitt.
THE big difference between
Olmedo of today and the Oh
medo of. say, a year or so ago
is that he simply doesn't miss
shots, now. And the guy who
doesn't miss shots is the guy
who is going to win the match. "
MacKay couldn't do a thing
against Olmedo in the semi
final. He didn't break Alexis
service once. He got of a few
good shots. but there was Oh
medo to bash them right back.
olmedo couldn't do anything
wrong. He complained a little
about the Armory lights. but If
they hurt his game, MacKay
would like to suffer the same
after-effects.
Olmedo broke MacKay for
the first time in the fifth game
OF the first set, Springing back
from a 1910 deficit. Then he
was on his way. He had a little
trouble in the second set when
MacKay refused to die" until
the 18th game. At that, he
killed himself with two double
faults.
In the final set, Olmedo only
had to wait until the third
game to break through. BY
that time, MacKay was vel
beaten.
This is Olmedo's first tour
nament indoors. It's difficult tt
visualize any improvement. He's
that good now.
AS for Savitt, he's the ole
master of the hardwood. Dick
probably the only amateur in
the country who doesn't want
to play on the Davis Cup team
won this tournament in 1852.

fourth place in the National
Hockey League after ending
their seven-game winless streak

The results left New York

Detroit in the competition for
the final Stanley Cup playoff

New York Wednesday night.
Andy Hebenton's goal at 1924
of the third period was the
Rangers first third period
marker in nine games. Before

utes by $50 in their last seven
games.
Hebenton picked UP another
goal to pace the Rangers at

NEW YORK. Feb. % (AP) =
Dick Savitt defends his national
indoor tennis championship
against a newcomer to the
boards today.
Savitt faces Alex Olmedo. the
Davis Cup ace, in the final after
each swept through his semi
final with a straight set tri-

Olmedo was far the more
impressive in chopping down
Barry MacKay, his Davis Cup
temmate from Dayton, Ohio

teen-ager Earl Buchholz of ST.
Louis, GA, GA. 6-3.
MacKay summed 1t up we'll.

of four times indoors" he said.
And then Olmedo beats me
easily. According to my rea-
soning that would give Olmedo
a pretty good chance of win

Russ Meyer
Attempting
Comeback

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla,
Feb. % (AP) For 10 days a
man and a boy have toiled to-
gether under the Florida sun,
looking for a lost talent.
The talent was in the right
arm of Russ Meyer, once a
good pitcher in the major
leagues. Meyer lost his ability
to pitch late in the 1856 season
when he threw a curve to Roy
Campanella of the Dodgers and
hurt his arm.
Meyer hung around the big
leagues until early the next
season. Then he went to the
minors, first to Seattle and
then to Nashville. In 1858, he
quit baseball.
But at IS he's back on the
fringe, confident that he has
regained the magic that once
was his. He's got six weeks to
prove it.
On the final day of last sea-
son, Meyer worked out with
the Kansas City Athletics. He
was sharp enough for Manager
Harry Craft to decide he was
worth a trial in spring training.
If he shows enough stuff, the
pitcher-poor Athletics will offer
him a contract.
Meyers first year in the
majors was with the Cubs in
1916. In IL seasons, he won
SO games and lost 10. His best
years were 1949. when he had
a 1913 record with the Phillies,
and 1858, when he won is and
lost S with the Dodgers, He
also pitched for. Cincinnati and
the Red Sox.

George Yardley seems to
have located the fountain Of
youth in Syracuse.
The balding, 30-year old
Yardley, a veteran of six years
in the National Basketball AS
ISOLATION, was traded by the
Detroit Pistons to Syracuse for
the younger Ed Conlin.
But Yardley, after a few
games in which he acclimated
himself with the Mats offense,
apparently has regained the
touch which made him the
leagues scoring leader at De-
troit before the PiStons decided
to peddle the "old man."
Yardley had his best game
as a Nat yesterday and it came
against his former mates. It
also came at a time when SYRIA
cuse needed all the scoring
punch it could get.
Big George scored 80 points
and grabbed eight rebounds as
the Mats dumped Detroit. 13s-
1903, and set an all-tiIne home
court scoring record. 1t also
moved third-place Syracuse
four full games in front of
fourth-place Philadelphia in
the Eastern Division.
Meanwhile, New York also
gave the Mats a lift, knocking
off the Warriors, 1l1-90. In
other games, st. Louis ended
Minneapolis four-game win
ming streak, 120-106, and
Boston defeated Cincinnati,
129-112.
Yardley played q minutes
and spanked the hot-Shooting
Mats, who made half of their
e6 field goal attempts. Gent
Shue scored 81 for the Pistons
as did Dolph Schayes and
Johnny Kerr for Syracuse.

After squirting into an early
lead, the Lions had TO beat OF

Two more league games re-
main to be played, st. Johns

Should st. Johns and Con-

place in first half play behind
Carroll which had a SO record.

If the three-way tie mate
