Sedgman, the gay who put the quash en American hopes of getting back the Davis Cup, has had all kinds of dasaUng offers thrust at him by the pros. But after some lost consideration, and perhaps a bit of aool-searchlng, he has decided to stick within the ranks of the simon pnres. Stdgman's stand Is unique In this are of sports commercializa tion. The dollar seemingly hasn't hypnotised him; his attitude harks hack to that sperts-fer-sprts-sake era of long ao. r Australians know, and Sedgman also surely realizes It, that his presence could, mean a long sojourn for the' Darts Cup In the - land "down under." So maybe Its form of loyalty to his country that has brought about his decision to remain outside the fold of the pros. But maybe the Aussie star Is smart In another way, too. Pro Sport Lacks Appeal Anyhow, It's always been our impression that professional tennis Is a poor cousin to Its amateur counterpart. The top amateurs make the plunge, haul In some good dough for a couple of years and then . become orphans of the trade. And the reason Is that pro tennis just . never has managed a firm foothold. It has never been top "bex-offlce" and It has never approached the glamor of the amateur version. . . . -: Maybe It's because the customers can't find any particular Inducement in turning out to watch guys matching strokes, for no greater stakes than their weekly paychecks. ...

The opening weekend produced two noteworthy upsets and en LOU SCRTVENS Stopped Coyote Threat the ring. Nevertheless, he figured I hanced early predictions or a ru rious championship race right down to the wire. Mighty Washington, ranked third nationally in the Associated Press poll and a solid favorite to cop the Northern Division title again, ran into a hornets' nest Friday night and came out on the short end of a 56-51 duel with the driving Idaho Vandals, strong contenders this season. The upset not only sullied Washington's national stature, but also marked the first home loss for the Huskies in 23 games. They recuperated Saturday night, how ever ,and whipped Idaho, 61-42, behind the deadeye shotmaking of Frank Guisness and Slippery Joe Cipriano. Stanford, whose big, experienced quintet is the choice to end UCLA's three year reign in the Southern Division, ran into simi lar difficulties in the dread West wood Gym. The Stanfords were colder than an Arctic night in the opener, which UCLA won easily, 81-63, but they warmed up con siderably on Saturday. Stanford won, 73-71, on a neat ball hawking play by Forward Ed Tucker with two minutes to go. UCLA, leading by one point, elected to take the ball out of bounds following a foul, and Tuck er intercepted the throw-in, then raced in for a lay-up that won the game. It was the Indians' first win on the UCLA court in three years. Oregon, idle over the week end, gets into action Monday night. The Webfoots open against Washing ton State at Eugene in a two game series that rates as a toss-up. Washington State looked ragged in splitting with Oregon State. OSC won Friday night's contest, 52-45, and the Cougars took the next one, 54-44. The score was tied nine times before Guard Bill Brown potted a field goal to give the Cougars a 39-37 lead with five minutes to play. California and Southern Cali fornia also traded victories.

Cal committed 30 fouls and the Trojans made good on 20 free throws. Cal's stars of the Friday game. Guards Jim Doan and Tom Greenleaf, fouled out in the sec ond half.

Kentucky Gets Scared Top Teams Still tolling, Conference Play Opens NEW YORK (-College basbetkball went into "conference" Sat urday night, and only in the South were there any near upsets. Starting down the long road which leads to NCAA tournament berths for conference champions, most of the early season favorites were in great form in winning opening games. Kentucky, defending NCAA and Southeastern Conference champs, trailed Louisiana State by 28-17 at the half, and anxious Wildcat fans sensed the first Kentucky loss at home in 103 games. Led by Soph Billy Evans, however, Kentucky came back strong in the second half and walked off the floor with a 57-47 triumph. North Carolina State, trying for a sixth straight Southern Confer ence crown, had to battle through two overtime periods to down arch-rival Duke, 72-70. Kansas began its drive for the Big Seven title with a routine 71 48 shellacking of Oklahoma, while defending Big Ten champion Illi nois restricted Minnesota's big Ed Kalafat to one field goal for a 52 43 decision over the Gophers. The Big Ten's other unbeaten teams, Indiana and Iowa, kept pace with the Illini as Indiana, No. 5 team in the poll, dumped Mich igan, 58-46, and Iowa handed Michigan State its first loss, 61-60. Washington, ranked third in the poll, whaled Idaho, 61-42, to get even for an upset loss to Idaho Fri day night and regain a head of steam for their drive to another Pacific Coast Conference title. UCLA, beaten by the Huskies last spring in the play-off for the PCC title, bowed to Stanford, 73-71 last night, and Southern California won another thriller from Cali fornia, 44-43. It was a great night for the top 10 poll teams, as all came home winners. Besides the diffculties of Kentucky, No. 4, New York Uni versity and St. John's, rated sixth and eighth, had considerable trouble at Madison Square Garden. The Violets were slowed by La Fayette's deliberate brand of bas ketball, but survived a late threat to win by 59-49, while St. John's almost blew a 13-point lead before downing St. Joseph's of Philadel phia, 59-57.
