Baylor Is Rated Finally J(ramer Gets- Recognition As Leading Pro Lawn Tennis Group Puts Out Rankings Pnr Prnfoccmnnlc EVENING GAZETTE 19 November 5, 1948 RENO Hubbard Is Given afternoons and night and Sunday afternoons. END OF THE LINE Dugan Aycock, Lexington, N. pro, is threatening Craig Wood's record for giving star golfers a start.

Dugan put Johnny Palmer, Clayton Heafner and Skip Alexander into the business? Palmer's explanation of his extra-long hack-swing is: "Just kept reaching out for more distance." And when Sammy Snead, practicing iron shots, asked: "What's wrong with those?" Heafner replied: 'Nothing, except that you ought to be down there on the practice green." Nod Over Bob Dunlap, hard-punching Oakland light heavy, was again the best fighter in sight state building auditorium, but the other mam event stole the show as Dean Hubbard got off the canvas to punch out a close win over Roy Voris. Dunlap hung up his second KO win in Reno by dropping Hank Thurman, a 190-pounder who had some 14 pounds on him, in the fourth. Dunlap had chased the gangly six-four Two Even Teams And Tvo Like Ones in Baffle NEW YORK, Nov. 5. UP) Jack Kramer of.

Los Angeles today gained official recognition as the best professional tennis player in the United States. He drew the No. 1 spot in the 1948 rankings of the Professional Lawn Tennis association. Kramer's selection came as a surprise to no one. In his first year in the play-for-pay game he has left no douot that he is the best.

Behind Kramer in the rankings came Bobby Riggs of Altadena, the best in the business until Big Jake came along. The PLTA bracketed Don Budge and Frankie Kovacs of Oakland, in third positior. Kovacs won third place money in the national pro championships when the tired Budge declined to meet him. However, Budge beat Kovacs Qplier in the year and had played good game against Kramer, so the committee called it a draw. Welby Van Horn, professional at the Germantown, cricket club, was ranked fifth.

Dinny Pails of Australia and Pancho Segura of Ecuador were not ranked because they don't belong to the PLTA. Other ratings: 6 Carl Earn, As Underdog But Has Best Record Battle with Texas Sees Bears Put In Bottom Role WACO, Nov. 5. UP) Baylor's Bears are in the unusual position being the only undefeated team in the southwest conference yet under dogs to a team that has lost three games. But Baylor always has been different.

There was a time when every school feared Baylor because it staged at least one big upet per season. It never won the championship but it played havoc with those that expected to. There was 1941 when a downtrodden Baylor team held mighty Texas to a 7-7 tie and knocked the Longhorns out of the Rose Bowl. Baylor didn't beat anybody hut that was a tough blow nevertheless. Tomorrow Baylor plays Texas again.

This time the shoe is on the other foot as regards a bowl game out its about the same as regards the odds. Texas, which lost to North Carolina, Oklahoma and Southern Methodist, is the general choice to beat a Baylor team that has only a tie with Mississippi State to mar its record. The reason is those close ones the Bears have played and the fact that they usually had to hold off the enemy down around the one-yard line as time runs out. In six games this season Baylor has taken the lead in only one and two weeks in succesion the Bears have had to ward off drives that looked like touchdowns in the final minute. Texas Christian, for instance, went to the 15inch line with five secords to play and couldn't score.

Baylor won 6-3. Coach Bob Woodruff, in his second season with the battling Bears, says from now on no matter how close the opposition gets to th? Baylor goal line he isn't going to worry. He made the statement before Jack Wilson, one of his assistants, torn tnis story: Last Saturday Baylor made that five-second goal line stand; Monday, when Voodruff came to his office he was smoking one clgaret ana carrying another in his hand. "Give me a cigaret." the Bavlor head coach asked. OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK MIAMI.

UP President John C. Clark of Hialeah race track is optimistic for the Florida horse season, in spite of the national downward trend in the racing business. "There is every indication that Florida will have a banner racing season, and Hialeah one of its best meetings," says President Clark. Hialeah operates Jan. 17- March 3.

NEARLY AUTOMATIC Bob Corley, center and placckicker for the University of Nevada Wolf Pack, is the man who adds those extra points which have helped toward making the local grid team the highest scoring in the nation. He's booted 82 of 45 conversion tries he had a really fine record until he contrived to miss five of 12 last week -and made the only field goal he's tried for a total of 35 points. PINEHURST, N. Nov. 5.

tfP) Did you know that a lot of the best righthanded golfers Ben Ho-gan for one are lefthanded? It's easy to figure out and the fact was emphasized the other day when Dick Mayer and Pat Cicl, two of the better clouters In the current North and South open, were observed playing Kelly pool left handed. They're natural southpaws but they learned to use golf clubs from the other side because that's the way most clubs are made and everyone knows the left arm is the controlling member in playing golf. What we'd like to know is which eye is the "master" for these guys. Best answer, to yesterday's tournament play came when Tony Manero, the 1936 open champion, was chuckling over his incoming 33 after he had started out 55455. "You must have been putting," some one suggested.

'No, I was driving 'cm," said Tony. In the same vein, Sammy Snead, whose weak putting is notorious, just made that kind of motion when he heard about Clayt Heafner's fine round and said: "He getting them in." THE INSIDE DOPE Douglas Clyde Walker, Wake Forest football coach who used to be a minor league manager, maintains: "All you got to do to manage a ball team is to know when to take out a pitcher. It's intuition. If you know when to Jerk a pitcher, you're a baseball manager." Peahead's intuition must have failed once. He claims to have traded Jim Tatum for a necktie and two beagle hounds and Jim is the guy whose Maryland teams can cause all kinds of trouble for SoutKern Conference rivals including Walker's Wake Forest boys.

STATE COLLEGE, Nov. 5. (Pi "You'll have to watch- the uniforms if you want to know who has the ball." says Penn State's Coach Bob Higgins about tomor- row's game with Penn. The Penn State mentor was referring to the similarity of sys-terns. Both Penn and Penn State two of the three unbeaten Eas- tern collegiate powerhouses op crate from a basic single wing attack.

"Some of our plays are Identical," said Higgins, adding, "They have buck-lateral series; so do we. They have a wingbaek-in- motion; so do we. They use a lot of fullback spinners: so do we." Higgins pointed out, however, that his team doesn't shift as Ptnn does nor does State mix up its plays with Minnesota double wing and flanker formations. "But," concluded Higgins, "they are Drimarily single wing; so are Neither Penn nor Penh State goes in for wholesale substitutions. And thsy mix their plays In about -1 the same percentage.

In five games the Nittany Lions have tossed 83 passes, completing 44 for 515 yards. The figures are roughly the same proportion as Penn's but the Quakers- hive no one with a record equal to the fly- ing fragment," Elwood PetcheL Petchel has registered eight touchdowns while gaining 414 yards through (he air on 34 com- plete aerials in 60 attempts. State wound up heavy prepara-tions for the battle on Franklin field with a workout under the lights that covered all points irt-eluded in the earlier practices. Voris at last night's card at the ing steadily with a straight left and an occasional looping right. Hub bard closed strong, though, and had Voris in the ropes twice in the ninth but again was unable to make much of it.

The tenth saw both boys fight at top pace and trade blows with both hands. The crowd thought the fight worth a standing ovation after the 10th round. ONE PRELIM SHORT One prelim boy from the bay area failed to show, with the result that only two preliminaries were held, but they were pretty fair ones. The first saw Pete Martinez take Ki-Ki Garcia of Sparks easily. Martinez, a tall spidery San Francisco featherweight, had too much reach, too much speed and too much of everything for Garcia except agfressiveness.

Garcia bulled ahead throughout the fight, snorting and working hard in the clinches but he shouldn't have bothered for Martinez scored steadily at long range and Garcia caught plenty. Martinez got a prize given by the Rolo Casino for the best prelim boy. The other early go saw Les Eben, Reno Indian, last just 1:45 of the first round against Oscar Penn, a pewerfully built 150-pound Negro from Richmond. Penn played it cautiously for just about a minute against Eben's southpaw style, and then got in a single left uppercut that stretched the localite. Eben wasn't hurt much, but he was lying flat at the ten count, and that seemed just as good an idea.

(JP) The UCLA Bruins fly here from Los Angeles today to run into a 28-point underdog rating in tomorrow's grid game with the undefeated and untied California Bears. The Bears, shooting for the Rose bowl, are after their eighth straight win of the season and their fourth in conference play. Coach Bert La Brucherie's Bruins were given slight chance of upsetting the Bears on the This is the second in a series of advertisements informing you, the people of Reno, of the acuta changes as progress is being mad at Club CAL-NEVa heavy for three rounds, and had trouble getting past Thur-man's long arms. He finally caught him in a corner with 2:15 gone in the fourth, hit him in the midsection and found the opening he needed for a powerhouse left hook to the head. It dropped Thurman glassy-eyed for the count right in Dunlap's corner.

But if the first main event had its fireworks, the second was the fan's delight. EVEN-UP MATCH It saw Hubbard, now a Reno boy and a local favorite, catch just about all he could handle in the hard-punching 168-pounder, Voris. A slugfest all the way, it came out so close that Judge Wally Rusk, scoring on points, called it a draw, while Referee Dan Murphy and the other judge, Sen. George Malone, tabbed it Hubbard's by two rounds. Hubbard was the aggressor most of the way, but he ran into some stiff blows.

In fact, the Reno boy took a flock of straight lefts in the second and then caught a right that bounced him on the canvas, where he took a nine-count. As in Hubbard's bout here with Jiminez, however, he came back stronger the round after being floored and won it, beating Voris with his left and hooking well to the head. In the fifth and seventh, Hubbard landed hard overhand rights which bothered Voris plenty, but was unable to make anything of his advantage. In the meantime, Voris was land- Texas A. M.

Last week USC showed the Bears could be passed against, and in the first game of the year Navy moved against California in the air. But both teams lost to the Waldorf ground attack. The Bruins planned no workout today. La Brucherie's squad, plagued by early season injuries, mustered a first string backfield this week for the first time since September. There was a chance that Waldorf would be able to use Rod Franz and Jon Baker, two top-notch injured guards.
