Lawn Tennis Association voted in a long and stormy session Satur day to rank Vic Seixas of Phila delphia as the nation's No. 1 play er for the past year. Dick Savitt of Orange, N. J., was placed No. and Tony Talbert, Cin cinnati, No- S. It tooks an unprecedented proxy vote after a hot floor fight and a flood of oratory. The vote was: Seixas 30,900, Savitt 24,373. This upheld the revised recommenda tion of the Ranking Committee. Shields Blasts Savitt Frank Shields, captain of the' Davis Cup Team which lost to Australia in the recent challenge round at Sydney, possibly swung the balance against Savitt, the reigning Wimbledon and Austral Ian singles champion, with a bit ing address. "Never once in the past three months has Savitt looked like a champion," Shields declored. "Not only that, but he was not the most co-operative player in the world while we were in Australia and his sounding-off brought dis credit to the game. He was not a credit either as a player or as a representative of America." Revises Old Listing He referred to bitter comments made by Savitt in Sydney after he learned that Shields had chosen Seixas and Ted Schroeder to op pose Australia in the singles. Sav itt said at that time that he be lieved a "deal" had been made to play Schroeder before the team ever left America. In its original ranking announc ed last month, the Committee had listed Trabert in the No. 1 spot, followed by Seixas and Savitt- It moved Seixas to the head of the class on the basis of his having won -the New South Wales cham pionship at Sydney, in which he defeated Frank Sedgman of Aus Old Orioles Used Control (Continued from Page 8) The Germans emphasized con trol and ball-handling. There was little of this banging away at he basket with someone finally tap ping in a rebound. When the Ger mans set up a shot, it didn't miss. "Our game was tiased on long and short passes," says Heerdt, "And we played mostly in the days when no dribbling was allowed under . amateur rules. When we , played pro .rules,, we never used the dribble even though it was per- mitted." . , . Frederick W. Burkhardt, who played in Dr. James Naismith's first game in 1&91, brought basket ball back to Buffalo when he re turned from Springfield Training School. The game was installed at the YMCA branch in Buf alo's East Side "German colony. Heerdt, with Burkhardfs help, formed the Germans in 1895 as a Junior team. Hank Faust, a -star who once threw in 38 field goals for 76 points in a single game, Joined the club three years later. In June of 1901, Heerdt, Faust, Eddie Miller, Bill Rohde, Johnny Maier and Ed Reimann dug up 50 cents apiece for the entry fee and wheeled- into the National Ama teur Athletic Union tournament at the Pan - American Exposition. They sought only experience. They came out with the title. The tourney games were abbre viated affairs, played in 10-min-ute halves, and the scores were low. In winning all seven of their games, the Germans scored a total of 81 points against 29 for the op position. Heerdt had 40 himself. The Germans lent a little color to the event when they played the first half of one game with only three men. The other boys were taking high school examinations. But there were plenty to pass the opponents silly and hold the score to 1 -all at halftime. The others, headed by Heerdt, pedalled furi ously to the exposition grounds on their bicycles in time to change Into their knee-breeches suits and play the second half. Three years later, it was race horse basketball at its best as the Germans swept through five games with an average, of 71 25 points to win the Olympic championship at St. Louis. Their opposition av eraged 21 points a game. Big scores are no recent phe nomenon in basketball. The Ger mans held the original patent. In that 1901-02 season! the Germans topped the century mark on three occasions.- - In addition to swamping Hobart, the Germans routed Niagara, 102 .to 7, and All-Buffalo, 131 to 24. In their 30 years of competition, they scored 100 points or more In 20 games. Look and Learn By A C Gordon 1. Which is the highest moun tain ever climbed by man? 2.
