Dukes Lonesome End
Worries Bowl Rival

DALLAS, Dec. q (AP).-The
Cotton Bowl teams were both in
Texas today with contrasting
views coming from the coaches.
Duke flew into San Antonio
yesterday and although arriving
four hours late because Of the
fog got down to business in q
hurry. Coach Bill Murray was
pleased with the condition and
attitude Of the players and
liked the workout.
Arkansas slipped into Hous-
ton and drilled for three hours
with Coach Frank BroyleS COM
planning that his players were
not in as good shape as he ex-
pected. He also had another
worry, one he's been talking
about ever since he got q
glimpse Of Duke game films.
That lonesome end Duke uses
Is giving the Arkansas coaching
star trouble aplenty.
I'VE have 90 prepare an en-
tirely different pass defense to
get ready for it, Broyles said.
Assistant Coach Doug Dickey
told the Arkansas defense to
look out for "the waggle" OF
Dukes lonesome end, Tee

Norman. Don't run OF and
leave the linebacker," he
warned the secondary. THAT
lonesome end will have the ball,
put on the waggle and away
he'll CO."
The RazorbackS scheduled
two workouts today.
At San Antonio, Coach Muir
ray said the drill was as good
q workout as we could expect
after six days away" from the
practice field. He said the tim
ing was a little OF but improved
as they went along.
Murray was streSSing running
and was giving those Of the S.
man squad that had picked up
poundage wind sprintS to help
them back into shape. But there
was actually little to take on.
Twenty players didn't have to
run at all. a reward for not
adding weight.
Murray growled that this Is
a work period" while he turned
down offers Of entertainment
for the squad. indicating the
Blue Devils are quite serious
about the game to be played

the next game Fraser and
Emerson broke through Piet-
rangeli's service. Fraser held
for the set.
All the while the towering
Sirola, a 6-foot-7 bullet-ball
specialist, was rocking the
Aussies back with his fiashy
service. He gave up just 2
points on his first three serv-
ices-one a double fault.
Pietrangeli dropped his serv-
ice in the third game of the
second set and the crowd be-
gan to sense a straight-set
victory for the Aussies. Aus
tralia progressed to 5-4 and
Emerson had only to hold his
service for the set.
He fell behind, $40. how
ever, and Pietrangeli blasted
the final point into the corner
of the court.
Referee Orders Replay
Fraser and Emerson were
within one point Of breaking
Pietrangeli again in the next
game. Fraser poked a shot far
back and the umpire ruled It
out. The crowd hooted. The
referee ordered a replay Of the
point and Fraser sportingly hit
his return out Of bounds in
tentionally.
The crowd laughed and
Pietrangei and Sirola joined
in the clowning. Each time
Pietrangeli attempted to serve
after Fraser hit the return
out. the crowd would laugh.
Finally, the referee intoned:
Ladies and gentlemen, will
you please allow the game to
continue?"
Italians Take Set
Pietrangeli finally held his
service. The Italians went on
to break Fraser in the next
game for the set.
But that finished their Of
fense.
Fraser and Emerson pulled
themselves together and ran
the third set out in just 10
minutes. They broke Sirola in
the first game and that set
the pattern. The Italians never
did get organized again.
In that fourth set, the story
was the same. Fraser and
Emerson broke Sirola in the
first game. That was all they
needed. The rest Of the set
followed service. But it was
too late. The Italian dream
had been shattered.

DRAFT

OOntlnueu from rage A.1Z
they stood with their draftees
before making a choice.
Each club had a telephone
installed at its table in the draft
room and called players under
consideration to determine if
they had been signed by the
AFL or Canadians, and if they
weren't. whether they would
play in the NFL.
The first seven selections in
the first round took about two
hours. One club owner said
he expected the snail's pace
to continue through the first
five or six rounds Of the 20
round draft.
Confident Of Signing
Snead, who completed 272
passes for 4,040 yards in three
seasons for Wake Forest. is be-
lieved almost certain to sign
with the Redskins. Bill Nc
Peak, the Washington teams
new coach, has made no secret
Of his eagerness to acquire the
big quarterback.
Snead, who is 81 and a native
Of Halifax County, Va, will
come with the highest recon-
mendations, for he holds the
Atlantic Coast Conference rec
ordS for passing attempts, COM
pletions, yards gained by
passing and touchdown passes.
In all, he holds Is ACC marks.
including those for Single-game
passing and season passing.
Order Of Selection
AS was the case with Snead.
McPeak and George P. Mar
shall. Redskins president. were
especially keen about getting
Rutgens, a line standout for
Illinois. Rutgens was drafted
earlier this month by the Oak
land Raiders of the rival AFL,
while the Buffalo Bills, who
last year took Penn States
Richie Lucas away from the
Redskins, picked Snead as one
of their top choices.
But McPeak and Marshall
seemed highly confident that
they'll get both Snead and
Rutgens this time. It's certain
to be a players market, with
the bidding reaching some
pretty high brackets.
Each Of the IA NFL clubs
were to pick 20 collegians
today, drafting in reverse order
of the 1860 final standings.
Following the Vikings, Cow
boys and Redskins. the order Is
as follows:
Los Angeles. a tie between
Pittsburgh and Chicago. Balti-
more, st. Louis. a tie between
Detroit and San Francisco,
New York, Green Bay, Cleve-
land and Philadelphia. Green
Bay selects ahead of Cleve-
land because the Browns 8-3-1
record was better than the 8-4
mark of the Packers, the West
ern Division champions.
Each AFL team picked 80
players at their draft meeting
December 10.
The vikings action in pick
ing Mason. who didn't get
nearly the publicity that some
of the All-America backs did,
caused little or no surprise. be-
cause the Tulane star was well
liked by the pros even though
he wasn't with a standout team.
Then, too, 1t was widely ru-
mored that Bert Rose, the
Vikings general manager. had
a deal going with the Giants
whereby the new club would
get Shaw. a veteran from Ore
gon who was the Colts No. /
choice a few years ago.
With Frank Clifford likely to
retire, the Giants. need a big
running back and Mason might
fill the bill. The 21-year-old
Tulane back ranked 18th in the
Nation in both rushing and
pass-receiving last season and
was seventh among major COL
lege performers in scoring with
13 touchdowns.

0peningDraws
.Record71,O17

ARCADIA, Calf, Dec. q
(AP).-The feature was modest
and it was the day after Christ
mas. But Santa Anita race
track drew a whopping crowd
OF 71.0l7 at the opening Of its
55-day meeting.
That's right, 7l,0l7 by
offlcial count yesterday. And
this was despite the usual
financial drain Of Christmas.
The question that now comes
to mind: Where would they have
put all the people had there
been q really top-f1ight racing
attraction as q magnet? The
temperature was In the high
70s.
1t was the largest attendance
Of the year for a race track,
surprising the 70,992 at Aque-
duct In New York on Memorial
Day.
Biggest Opening Day
It was the largest opening
day turnout in Santa Anita's
history, breaking the previous
high Of 66,681 a year ago.
Only twice before has there
been a larger public at Santa
Anita. There were $500 on
March l. 1947, when Olhaverry
beat Armed and won the Santa
Anita Handicap. And on
March 8. 1946. there were u.s.
5SS on hand to watch War
knight win the same race.
Actually. there was q place
for the human beings, although
they were stacked as usual
many layers thick along the
rails in the grandstand and
clubhouse area.
But for automobiles it was
something else. The tracks
10000 spaces for cars was ex-
hausted-and an hour after the
first post daring motorists were
still trying to edge in. II
couldn't be done. Barricades
were thrown up and guarded.
It might be added that the
same motorists were still trying
to get out Of the place more
than an hour after the last
dollar had gone down the drain
on Willie Shoemaker in the
eighth race.
Ole FOlS Wins
For the record. Neil Nc
Carthy's Ole Fols. with Shoe
maker UP. won the feature, the
Palos Verdes Handicap for q
modest purse of $23,950. The
winner paid $1,000.
Ole Fols got in by a neck over
Henrijan. with another Nc
Carthy sprinter, Finnegan, third

Fleet Nasrullah. the morning

cause Of the bulky field. And
Golden Notes. the ultimate bet

behind T.V. Lark.

An Urgent Letter

The incident so enraged Mr..
Hammarskjold that he sent let
ter to U. N. delegates telling them
that U. N. activities may be rem
dered impossible" in the Congo
unless there is a prompt change
in the attitude of Mr.. Lumumba.
II need not underline the ex-
treme gravity of this incident
which might easily have faced the
United Nations troops with a
choice between surrender to force
or the use of force in legitimate
self-defense," he wrote.
The Lumumba reaction to criti-
cism of the unprovoked attack by
his men on the Canadians perhaps
should not be considered uneX-
pected from the man who has
never expressed regret over the
rapings of hundreds of Belgian,
and at least two American, women
by his troops some weeks ago.
The Premier accused Mr.. Ham
marskjold of blackmail and of
blowing up the incident all out
of proportion in order to rally
