This time it was big Pancho Gonzales who proved the point as he outlasted little Pancho Se-gura in a five-set struggle that settled the singles title of the $5000 World's Professional Hardcourt Tennis Champion, ships yesterday at the Beverly-W ilshire Hotel.

The deciding break came in the 24th game.

Grows Stronger But Gonzales seemed to grow stronger as Segura tired. The fiery little Ecuadorian suffered a letdown as the third set got under way, losing his serve in the first game. Segura still tried for a straight-set victory, how ever, and made his final threatening move in the eighth game when he once more cracked his foe's serve. But Gonzales broke right back in the ninth game, and the match was as good as over. During the afternoon Gonzales served 17 aces that Segura could not even touch.

Only four of these were in the second set and he failed to score any in the first set. 'Gonzales polished off the final point with an ace.

Trojans and Texans showed Saturday they are ready for some stupendous midseason per formances.

The Longhorn sprint relay teams turned in a pair of smashers at Kansas, taking the 440 in :41 fiat and the 880 in 1:25.2, equaling a meet record in the latter event. The great Manhat tan foursome did only :41.1 in winning the Coliseum Relays 440 last spring. A special event Friday night, opening the program, will be a 440 relay.

Yesterday's singles win was worth $12J0 to Gonza les, while Segura picked up $800. Plenty to Spare Pound for pound, Segura prob ably beat the dickens out of Gonzales but the winning Pan cho had plenty of pounds to spare.

Gonzales performance was somewhat spotty. His back hand missed time after time and faltered under pressure. And his big first serve consistently failed to connect during the first two sets. At the same time Segura played like a tiger until he ran out of gas midway through the third set. His return of service was so good he virtually neutralized his foe's powerful delivery in the first two sets.

And he piled up a big edge in passing shots despite the fact that many were executed under extreme pressure. Gonzales Leads Only Segura's phenomenal court coverage and never-say- die spirit enabled him to make the match a marathon. Gonzales held a 40-love lead on his. own serve while 5-4 in the first set and then lost five points in a row. In the set Gonzales scored the rirst service break St.

HFf I Braves, Phils Break Even in Twin Bill PHILADELPHIA, April 20 (IP) The Boston Braves took advantage of a wild throw by Outfielder Del-Ennis today to score the run that gave them a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and an even split in a Shibe Park double-header.

The Phils won the opener, 4-3, when Ennis smashed a dramatic lOth-inning triple with Willie Jones on base. A shirt-sleeved crowd of 26,011 got their money's worth in the twin thriller that featured top-notch pitching all the way. Robin Roberts, the Phils'- star right-hander, and Vern Bickford tangled in the opening duel while Boston's Dave Cole matched pitch for pitch with Karl Drews in the nightcap. In both instances the Braves' pitchers didn't finish Bickford going out in the 10th for a pinch-runner after he had doubled and Cole leaving for a pinch hitter in the rally-winning eighth.

Secory and Goeta. Time 2ti. 5m. At tendance 26.011. UCLA in Cricket Draw UCLA and the Britamar team battled to a draw in their cricket match at Griffith Park yesterday.

UCLA's Surfo Sheth was the top batsman with 12 runs. HYLAND Bill Kinmont's advice to a beginner is, "Be honest. Tell the fisherman or store keeper that you don't know much about fishing. You'll then make a valuable friend because you'll give him a chance to talk and show off. Never start anyone, especially youngsters, with cheap equipment.

Give him something to work with and medium price stuff will do that." So, for a trout man, we've got a medium weight (4Ji ounce) trout rod with a level rather than the more expensive tapered line As he uses it, he notices that the tip, bending and flexing, is reacting to the trout's moves much faster than he, the fisherman can. It keeps the line taut and the hook firmly planted in the fish's mouth. He begins to understand what a trout rod is for, gradually learns that the lighter the tackle the better he. can feel and guide the fish. Too, a light flexible tip will not pull the hook out of the fish's mouth something Southern California bait-boat fishermen should remember, because a light tip is less likely to tear the bait off the hook on the cast, as well.

Wellman, the Rain-Beau line expert, says that the wide varieties of line are manufactured to satisfy the man fishing for fun as well as the man who wants to fill the dinner table plates. A heavier line means less chance of losing a hooked fish and the light line provides the thrill of licking the big ones with light equipment. The weights of the poles and the flexibility of the tips also determine what weight trout lines should be used; pole and line should 'balance." As for lures and flies and baits all three men threw up their hands. "There are no answers," said Kinmont, the Rocking Ranch boss man. "Tell 'em to ask the people in the area they are fishing what the fish are taking.

It varies with the seasons, the fly hatches, water temperature many tilings. But the local man will usually know and be willing to tell you everything except his favorite, most secret spot in his pet stream or lake." Gehrmann to Compete in London Trackfest MILWAUKEE, April 20 Don Gehrmann said yesterday he will compete in the English track championships at London Memorial Day week end. There the mile star will once again bump into Rober Bannister, the English speedster who beat him in the Penn Relays a year ago. Gehrmann said he planned to leave for London by plane May 29.

alee la7 wit aver eatiaftee) caiteaven, Chamberlin Co.a1B, 155 s. Bra. WHITNEY 1101 By DICK The man walked up tcf the Harnell booth at the Pan-Pacific Sportsmen's Show last week and said, "I'd like to get a small rod for a small boy." He looked at the classy display of black tubular glass rods in a rack and added, "I don't see any here." Your Flinger happened to be sitting in the booth at the moment and reached for a Harnell catalogue. On the first page, alone, were listed 58 different rods. None of 'em was a small rod for a small boy.

The man had a hard time understanding that fishing rods are-designed for fish, not the size, age or weight of the fisherman. 1 After he left I asked Bob Barrett, "How many do you get like that?" He answered, 'More than you'd think. And we're glad to have "em." Johnny Wellman, who handles Rain-Beau fishing lines, added, "Some of them don't know any more about fishing lines, either." Bill Kinmont of Bishop's Rocking Ranch, finished it off with, "They want to fish for trout, so they come to our place. But some of their outfits and some of their questions! But, like Bob says, we're glad to have 'em. If you're a fisherman, you can't have anything but fun explaining your game to someone who doesn't know." So the three of them, Barrett, Wellman, Kinmont, started talking.

This is the gist of what they said: There are five basic kinds of fishing rods. The first is the bait or "plug casting" rod. It is small, light, has a 5-foot tip. For small, rugged fish. Next is the fly rod, an 8-foot, light rod with a very "bendy" tip.

The battling trout must be handled gently. Next are the spinning rods, recently coming to popularity because of the development of the spinning reel. They resemble the fly rod but are basically shorter, with sturdier tops. A fourth classification, according to Barrett, are the fresh and salt-water models of all rods. The salt-water variety must be longer, heavier, because a much larger reel with much more line to be supported.

Too, as you go up the scale of weight, saltwater fish get much bigger and stronger than any freshwater fish so rods resembling young clothesline poles with the circumference and flexibility of baseball bats, can be found. These last, as a ruif form the final basic classification, the trolling rod for really big fish supporting monstrous reels. Xo rod was ever designed by a manufacturer for fun; each is made to serve an exact purpose. The various stages of a fisherman's life usually follow the same course with all men. First he is a begirnT, then a man who knows something, then an expert 1741 I 1.74 I I jl-.
