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. Student tickets may be
purchased at Mac Court for $1.
