1 tennis player in his time, Monday was voted No. 1 of all-time.

Laver player-of-year again The same jury recently named Laver as winner of the Martini and Rossi Player of the Year Award for the second straight time.

1 on seven ballots and second on four others. He was credited with 118 of a possible 130 points in the poll. Budge, first to score a grand slam of the Australian, Wimbledon, French and United States championships in 1938, was second with 103 points and the 31-year-old Laver, current king of the courts, was No. 3 with 96 points.

9 Lew Hoad, Australia (20'A) and No. 10 Ellsworth Vines (19). Laver, grand slam winner as an amateur in 19(2 and as a pro this year, received three first place votes and Budge two. Kramer first on two ballots Kramer received the only otter first plaice vote but wound up fourth in toe list behind Gonzalez, whose superb play at the age of 41 in current competition apparently influenced other voters to rate him over Jack. The only other current pro with a good shot at the top 10 until the last votes were in was Ken Rosewall of Australia who made No.

11 with 16 1-2 points. Others who received votes were R.L. Doherty of Great Britain and Norman Brookes of Australia, both old-timers; Frank Sedgeman of Australia, Little Bill Johnston, Tilden's team-mate and frequent final round foe; Willie Renshaw of Great Britain, Jack Crowford of Australia, Baron Gottfried Von Cramm of Germany, Pancho Segura vf Ecuador, Tony Wilding an'd Roy Emerson of Australia. Tilden was to American tennis in the Golden Twenties what Bobby Jones was to golf. Babe Ruth to baseball, Jack Dempsey to boxing and Earl Sande to horse racing.

The lanky Philadelphian was 27 wiien lie won hiis first U.S. championship in 1920 but he won six in a row and added another in 1931. He also won three times at Wimbledon and helped the U.S. hold the Davis Cup for seven straight years before the Frenchmen finally brought him down in 1927. Tilden died in 1953 apparently of a heart attack, in his modest apartment in Hollywood.

Awtrey, a candidate for Ail-American acclaim, scored 34 and 'hauled down a tournament record 37 rebounds in the two Santa Clara victories. The steady pivotman was named -most valuable player of ihe tourney and won a berth on the Cable Car all-star team for the third successive year.

In 1971, the three Bay Area schools will be joined by South Carolina, and in 1972 the lineup will be USF, Santa Clara, LaSalle and Duke. Santa Clara is favored to repeat as champion of the West Coast Athlelic Conference, but UOP could be a contender, and Strieker is one of the reasons. The 6-8 forward from Quincy, Calif, has scored 83 points in the Tigers' last three games, against Drake, Scatlte and Fresno State. UOP coach Dick Edwards told the basketball writers that Strieker and sophomore center John Gianelli have made a world of difference to the Tigers this season.

The frontline tandem led Pacific to a 100- point effort over Seattle and a 118-poin-: night against Fresno State after barely losing 78-7(1 on Drake's home floor. USF coach Phil Vukicevich, who saw his promising Dons fall 70-49 to Santa Clara and collapse 73-48 to Army in the Cable Car tourney, told the basketball writers that his dub has been plagued by inconsistency of its sophomores. The Dons try to regroup this weekend in Salt Lake City when they go up against Utah in the Utah Classic. Bradley and Michigan; State also are in that tournament. The California Golden Bears will take week off to study for finals after scaring an impressive victory over Army and absorbing a tough 58-52 loss to Santa Clara.

"I was really pleased with our defense over the weekend," said Cal coach Jim Padgett. "But I'm not pleased with our offensive performance." The Bears hit only seven of 32 field goals in the second half against the At one point Cal missed 17 successive field goal attempts.
