In his by-lined copyrighted article Mu lloy offers a 10-point plan to make present-day tennis come alixe again His suggestions include simpler scoring shorter matches (best-of-three instead of best-of-five) and "elimination of many of the sticky traditions dating back to the time when tennis was strictly a society game" WE CAN UNDERSTAND several of the veteran's suggestions but the "sticky traditions" he criticizes might stand a second look He specifically mentions two: that a competitor must never give way to a show of temperament on the court and that spectators must remain quiet

atmosphere at a basketball game during an overtime period Coaches generally were optimis- tic about the ability of their re- ti spective charges and one Bobby a Dodd of Georgia Tech promptly began an experiment with the two-platoon system into two 33-man groups one for offense and one for defense and coaches and players alike seemed enthusiastic "If we can work out the me- chanics to use the boys platoon I wise in games under the present I rules I believe it will strengthen the team" llodd said Auburn Coach Ralph 'Jordan sent his 1957 national champion Tigers through light morning and after-
