Pro Tour To Appear At long last a collection of the world's greatest professional ten nis players will assemble in Mc Arthur Court tonight for a one night stop on their tour. Ken Rosewall will take on Aus tralian Rod Laver in the feature match of the evening In the pre liminary match—if one could term a professional match a pre liminary—Earl Buchholz, former , U S. Davis Cup Team member, will meet Andres Gimeno. At the present time Rosewall leads Laver, 9-4, and Gimeno leads Buchholz 8-5. First-place prize is worth $35,000 while the third place winner will receive $20,000. To beat Rosewall, who hails from Sydney, Australia, normally requires about 5‘i miles of run-: ning at an accelerated pace. Laver, who like Buchholz is in his first year as a professional, won everything that amateur ten nis had to offer last year. He un doubtedly would like to repeat this feat in the pro ranks. No freshman pro has been able to win the championship since 1948. Laver and Rosewall are two of the classiest shots in tennis. Rose wall is slightly built at 5-8V2 and 150-lbs. and swings the racket right-handed. Laver on the other hand is a left-handed version of his idol Lew Hoad. Tickets for the matches are on sale at Mattox Pipe Shop, War ren’s Hardware, Wicklund’s Sporting Goods, and Mac Court. Reserved tickets are priced at $3 and $2.
