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.
