Bobby Riggs, five foot two inch tennis pro, is making things hard on the other pros in the touring tennis troupe. Bobby is in second place among the four pro stars and is always a crowd favorite. He teams with Frank Kovacs in the doubles and the duo seems to out wit Don Budge and Fred Perry.

CREIGHTON'S sextet of start upset all dope sheets in amazing fashion on Tuesday evening when they dropped West Texas State from the running on the Madison Square Garden cage court . . . The scene was the National Invitational Metropolitan basketball tournament . . . The final score In the melee that ensued after the opening tip was 59-58 in favor of the Omaha quint ... To Coach Eddie Hickey the victory meant one of the major accomplishments of his life. HERE is the way things stood ... At the end of their regular season, the Creighton Bluejays found themselves in a tie with Okla homa A. & M. for the Missouri Valley league title . . . Likewise, Kansas U. and Oklahoma tied for top honors in the Big Six . . . To decide the N.C.A.A. entry from this division, it was proposed that the winners of the two conferences get together . . . Since both con ferences ended in ties, the representatives for the playoffs were de cided by their season's average . . . Oklahoma Aggies and Kansas got the nod since they had the greatest margin between offensive and defensive total points ... All of which left the Sooners and the Bluejays out on a limb . . . But Creighton didntt feel too bad. THEY had received feekers from the Number One City for the tournament in the Garden ... As soon as the N.C.A.A. entries had been determined Creighton accepted the New York bid . . . Tuesday night was their first game and this against a team from deep in the heart of Texas boasting an average of 70 points plus per game and with a height average for the entire team of six foot six inches . . . And that is getting pretty ether-minded. TWO of a kind ... At least Bobby Ginn and Gil Dodds seem that way to me . . . Both are short and weigh under 135 pounds . . Both wear glasses when they run . . . Both run a great deal from sheer intestinal fortitude . . . Both run the distance races and both are plenty good in their own right . . . Ginn with his 4:10.1 mile in intercollegiate competition last spring established himself as one of the top three college milers in the nation Dodds has been chasin Greg Rice home in the two mile all winter in record times, he even pushed him enough one time to come in under a world's mark himself . Then he decided to drop down to the mile and he surprised everyone by turning in a plenty fast time. GINN usually runs the mile but at the Butler relays he cut his distance in half as Dodds had done and turned in a 1:54.6 for the fast half of the event . . . Ginn comes from Madison, Nebraska and Dodds had his prep running at Falls City , . . They seem to have a lot in common all along the way.

Activity of football variety was Btepped up yesterday as Coach Glenn Presnell began another day of practice climaxed by a short scrimmage session. Due to the usual Nebraska weather for this month of wind, rain and what have you, Presnell has had little chnnce to watch his charges go through active work on the practice fields west of the stadium. Things Go Smoothly. For the first part of the drill period yesterday everything went as usual but as tne sun was trying to decide whether or not to poke its head under the solitary cloud blotting out part of the sky, Press and his forwaid aide-de-campe, Elmer 'Gus' Holm lined up his teams for a scrimmage session. It was not a show that one would get in the fall but it did prove several things. First, the old regulars nave lost notmng or me finesse which they nave shown pre viously and second, the new faces on the squad show definite signs of claiming some part of tne sport- light next fall. When the two first teams were opposing the foe seconds, there was more action since both num ber one units were on offense. Dale Bradley, more elusive than ever, sneaked through into open territory before getting the whis tle on two occasions for the Reds. rOS. AHMY NO, X NAVY NO. I..K. 1). Urinific ! I.uthrr NI..T. V.
