Frankie Parker of Los Angeles, top-seeded; Jack Kramer of Los Angeles, seeded third; Bill Tal-bert, Indianapolis, ranked fourth; Lt. Joe Hunt, Annapolis, rated sev enth, and Lt.

Talbert bested George Ball, El Paso, 6-0, 6-1; Hunt downed Jim Brink, Seattle, 6-1, 6-0, and Cooke bested Ensign Harris Everett, Miami, 6-2, 6-2.

Only unseeded player to reach the quarter-finals was Jack Tuero, New Orleans junior, who scored a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over Gene Garrett of San Diego. In women's play, sixth-seeded Helen Bernhard of New York was the only ranking victim. She lost on a 9-7, 7-5 upset truned in by Dotty Head of Los Angeles. Pauline Betz, the defending champion from Los Angeles, led the other seeded players into the quarter-finals, including second-ranking Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, the 1942 runner-up; third-seeded Margaret Osborne, San Francisco; fourth-ranked Doris Hart, national girls' champ from Miami Beach; Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, Pensacola, the 1941 champion who was seeded fifth; Mary Arnold, Los Angeles, seventh, and eight-seeded Dot Bundy, Santa Monica, Calif.

Kramer, Mrs. Cooke Seen as Darkhorses Forest Hills. N. Y. AP) It wouldn't be a first-class tennis tournament without a "dark horse" or two.

And, since the 1943 national championships are turning out to be a first-class tourney in spite of reduced fields and other wartime restrictions, we give you Jack Kramer and Sarah Palfrey Coke. Kramer, just 22, and a veteran of several years of big-time competition, was runner-up to Don McNeill in 1940; he teamed with Ted Schroeder to win the national doubles title two years in a row, then bowed out last year when he suffered an appendicitis attack en route to the championships. But the tall California Coast Guardsman has surprised everybody. In administering unmerciful beatings to William E. Gifford and Bobby Falkenburg he has appeared to be in top form.

Mrs. Cooke, 1941 women's champion, also was out of tournament play last summer and most of this season. But she has been practic ing play with her husband, Lt. Elwood Cooke of the Navy, at Pensacola, and she parked her new daughter down there while she came north to play in the Nationals. 6 Horse Sense9 Answers 1.

AMD FAR I Navy Rules 12 Inehgible For Trojan Grid Team Los Angeles AP) Presaging what may be in store for other young men who want to play football, participate in Navy or Marine training programs and yet not spend too much time over the books, the Navy ruled out 12 of Southern California's grid candidates as ineligible. Coach Jeff Cravath got the bad news, yesterday as he called a quad of 51 candidates together for the first time. Naval authorities handed him a slip of paper bearing the 12 names and saving the in eligible candidates would be out of action for at least three weeks. That meant they probably would not be available at all. They will have to be cramming when afternoon practice sessions are held.

The most important defection is Jackie Fellows outstanding back last year at Fresno State where he established a national scoring ord. Other important ineligibles are Jack Pattee, Fellows' running mate at fullback.and Doug Miller, Santa Ana quarterback transfer whose passing was counted on strongly in Cravath's T-formation. "This is going to be a much different football season from those we've been having," explains Cravath, starting his second year head coach. "There will be no challt talks of consequence. There just won't be time.

We'll have about an hour and one-half a day to get our practice done. It will be the same elsewhere. We won't have the same candidates every day and the personnel will be changing from time to time. "The boys who will be playing football will at the same time bw training earnestly for a much bigger and more important game." The Trojans have California and UCLA on their schedule for home, and-home games. Stanford hai given up the sport and the conference is split into North and South divisions.

Service teams, San Fran cisco University and Alonzo Stagg'i College of the Pacific will round out the schedule, which begini against UCLA Sept. 25. The material at hand Indicatei USC might have three top-notcr teams available for the opener, but on Oct. 16 End Ralph Heywood. Halfback Mickey McCardle, Guard Norm Verry, Back Howie Callanan, End Doug Hail, Guard Jack Les-coulie, back Jack Troul and a few others will be called from the campus to active service camps.

Some of these and others may elect to give up football and bend all their efforts to the stilt military courses. Oregon and Oregon State supplied the Trojans with several good players of last season through the Marine and Navy program assignments, but none, strangely enough, registered for practice. If the Trojans should prove to have the ability and the luck to come out on top, they might got a chance at the Rose Bowl New Year's Day, possibly against archrival Notre Dame. This is only a hope, and the Army will decide whether there's to be such a game. BOYS MAKE MONEY FULL OR PART TIME MAKING LIGHT DELIVERIES ON BICYCLES APPLY IN PERSON Room 242 Keeney BIdg.

Maniacl summoned about 60 candidates to a short workout recently and what he saw would bring tears of joy to the average college coach these days. For instance there was a guy named Bill DeCorrevont.

whom the nation's football headline readers heard Dlentv about when he carried the mail for Northwestern. As a running mate at fullback, Maniaci could insert a fellow named Harvey Johnson, William and Mary's big gun and All-South ern Conference ace last year. Looking down the line further was Paul Anderson, former Purdue back who helped spark the Great Lakes Training Station team to its big 1942 season. Others included Cluie Mosher, Pittsburgh Steelers tackle last vear: Ken Akin, a stalwart at guard for the Chicago Bears in 1942; and Howard Hickey of ArKansas, ex-Detroit Lions end who also was with Great Lakes last fall. Maniaci, like any college coach, wouldn't make any specific promises, but he expects a "fairly good passing and running team, and they're big enough to be a good defensive outfit." "We'll play a pretty good game, although the men have played under many systems and the shortage of time will force us to work hard to whip things into shape.

Maniaci wouldn say what sys tern he planned 'employ. but seven years with the Chicago Bears ana li 1 1 1 xamcu uicil.wh be a good guess.
