1 JUST HOW tough Mrs. Can seeded Danny Birchmore of Athens and the Georgia tennis team, and Greenville, S.C., native Raz Reid of the University of Miami tennis team, continued on their collision course. Gloria Payne of Macon appeared to be her old invincible self protecting her first seeding in the women's singles, but she cautioned that Sunday's final could be an end to her string of five consecutive tournament championships. Birchmore tangled with Georgia Tech's Steve Yellin of New Orleans in Saturday's semi-final and had to struggle early before winning 7-5, 6-0. YELLIN GOT the early service break and went up 4-2.

But Birchmore held serve and then broke back in a long, stubborn battle. When he won, and broke serve four games later for the match, Yellin was through for the day. He was third seeded but, as often happens in tennis, simply wilted when a strong underdog effort failed in the first set. Reid, second seeded, won handily over fourth-seeded John Foster of Atlanta, 6-1, 6-1, setting up a singles final that pairs last year's Crackerland champ- sler is became evident in her victory over Atlanta's Leigh Froshsin, 6-0, 6-3, causing Gloria Gary suddenly found his game and won the next seven holes in succession with three birdies and four pars.

Dick Brooks (20-1): Hottest new driver on the circuit. Proved he can run with the best, but will need extra dose of racing luck to get first win. Benny Parsons (40-1) Former ARCA champion who has been impressive in first full season on Grand National circuit. But his equipment still a couple miles per hour off the fastest cars. Jim Vandiver (100-1): Another promising newcomer, who could go with a little more horsepower.

Dave Marcis (100-1): Proved he can drive the faster race cars at Bristol. Richard Petty (6-1): Not spectacular on the super speedways this season, but it's tough to bet against a man with 118 Grand National victories. Pete Hamilton (19-1): Most figure he couldn't repeat his surprises at Daytona and Talladega. Or could he? Buddy Baker (15-1): Probably will be the fastest car in the race. Likely to lead early in the race.

But can he last? Charlie Glotzbach (15-1): Cut from the same mold as Baker. A great charger, but thus far he's had only strategy that backfired. sure wins at Charlotte and Daytona. Donnie Allison (2-1): This appears to be his year. Has run steady, smart and has rabbit's foot in his pocket.

Bobby Isaac (4-1): Running for national points title so will not push his car more than he has to. But sometimes "cooling it" wins races as he learned at a i 1 1 last week.

By RON HUDSPETH There are no pari-mutuel windows at stock car race tracks. It is just as wel'.

Handicapping a stock car race would be no easy matter. When a fellow flips his $2 bet into a window at a horse track, chances are good his horse will at least finish. There are no such assurances in stock car racing. The fastest, in fact, rarely win. Undaunted, we still gave Sunday's Dixie 500 a once over.

Here's the way a "Harry the Horse" character might rate the stock car drivers: Fred Lorenzen (8-5): Fast Freddie is back and proved it by winning the pole. His equipment is first class, he's a gazelle on the Atlanta track, and he's smart. Cale Yarborough (2-1): Always runs hard from green flag. Leads league in blown engines while leading races. If car and his luck, sometimes very sour, hold up, he'll be tough.

David Pearson (2-1) Mister consistent of stock car racing. Always seems to be near the lead in closing laps when it counts, bui is probably the hard-luck driver of the year.
