But if a football coach loses out because he can't win, there are black headlines. "You simply can't take desire out of the game. It's no fun coming in second in a football game, or in a war.

I One round behind but still a 1 threat despite a near -crippling leg infection, top-seeded Dick Savitt of Orange, N. crampion of Wimbledon and Australia, kept his hopes alive by walloping Straight Clark of Pasadena, for a berth in the quarter-finals, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. It was double-duty day for the cocky Larsen, who required only four minutes and two games to complete a five-set conquest of 18-year-old Hamilton Richardson of Baton Rouge, in a match postponed from yesterday because of darkness.

Larsen then went back on the same court a few minutes later to blast the hopes of Gardnar Mulloy of Miami, 6-8, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. Giving up only two points in the two games played against Richardson today, Larsen rounded out a 6-4, 3-6. 6-1. 3-5 triumph. LARSEN VS.

SEDGMAN Now the cocky little American champion makes his next stand against Sedgman Sunday in the lower bracket semi-final. Thev have met seven times in various part: tt oce Larsen nan asseriea in masterv over the amazing tumor from Baton Rouge, the big story of the dav was Trabert's magnificent bid to upset Australia's Davis Cup Ace, Segman. Sedgman, however, pulled his game together in the fifth set, playing the percentages and moving to the net only when the odds of smashing away point winner were high in his favor and he assumed full command of the match. Larsen was so jittery before his olavoff with Richardson he refused to hit even one warmup shot, but jhis foe, outwardly calm, popped his strokes weakiv and Larsen quirklv out his fourth round decision. He then took on Mulloy.

who had been shaken up slightly when a taxi door banged his head as he arrived for the match. After an exploratory first set which Mulloy won at 8-6, the jumping-jack southpaw title-holder blistered him with fantastic passing shots, authoritative volleys and a crackling service to whip through the next three sets with the loss of only seven games.

Aur. 31 (UP The policy-making body of the National Collegiate Athletic Association today proposed a 12-point cure for overemphasis in college sports.

The NCAA council, after a two-day meeting here, recommended limiting the number of games in each sport, particularly football and basketball, and "re-examining post-season games in the light of the pressures they create." The 17-member council, comprised of delegates from every corner of the nation, also suggested confining practice sessions to the season of each sport, limiting the number and amount of financial grants to athletes, and curtailing "undesirable" recruiting activities. Hugh C. Willett. president of the NCAA and chairman of the council, stressed that the 12 points were suggestions only. "Council members will sample opinion on the measures between now and the NCAA convention in January," said Willett, who is a member of te I'niversity of Southern California faculty.

The convention will be held January 9 to 12 at Cincinnati. "This is the first step to meet the challenge of overemphasis," Willett added.
