GORGEOUS GUSSIE SAYS
Had to Wear Black Ones
To Cover Extra Poundage
Cairo, Egypt, March 13 u.R
California tennis player Ger
trude "Gorgeous Gussie" Moran
aid today that she wore black
shorts in a match here because
her regulation white shorts
eouldn't cover 13 extra pounds
of curves picked up in India.
Gussie, who created a sensa
tion when she introduced lace
panties to staid Wimbledon,
England, last year, said the black
, Jsriefs worn Friday were a ne
cessity and not a whim.
"As a matter of fact one of
J the main reasons I wore black
shorts is because I have gained
13 pounds and most of my
i other shorts wouldn't fit me
' ny more."
Egypt's press and citizenry
; have reacted differently to Gus-
sie attire during the Egyptian
' championships.
The newspaper Al Ahram said
J the black shorts worn by the
pantie queen of the courts were
a disgrace.

Bradley Favored in NIT
e Quarter-Finals Monday
By NORMAN MILLER
(United Preu Sports Wrlterl
New York, March 13 (U.R)
Top-seeded Bradley was favored
by 8!4 points over upset-minded
Syracuse and unseeded Western
Kentucky was a 2H-point choice
over fourth-seeded St. John's to
night In the quarter-finals of
the National Invitation Basket
ball tournament.
A crowd of 18,000 was ex
pected to pack Madison Square
Garden to watch the two seed
ed teams, which drew first round
byes along with Kentucky and
Duquesne, swing into action
against the survivors from Sat
urday's opening round games.
For tomorrow's two other
quarter-final battles, second
seeded Kentucky's Southeast
ern conference champions
were a four-point choice over
City College of New York,
while unseeded La Salle of
Philadelphia was made a sur
prise three-point favorite over
third-seeded Duquesne.
The Braves from Peoria, 111.,
whose 27-3 record is one of the
best in the nation, will be out to
c" max their best season in his
tory with their first N.I.T. cham
pionship. In four previous invi
tation tournaments, Bradley
never has gone past the semi-finals.
Led by All-American Paul
Unruh, their six-foot, four
Inch center, and little Gene
Melchlorre, their spectacular
five-foot 8H-irh plvotman,
- the Braves had an added ad
Tuesday with Milwaukie, rep
resenting district 12, playing
Corvallls, district 7. In the
other opening night game,
Hillsboro, district , meets
Marshfield, district 5 champ
ion and runner-up in the state
tourney last year.
A full day and night sche
dule will get underway Wed
nesday with the championship
game slated for Saturday
night.
Brig. William Days, chair
man of the tennis committee
for the local tourney, said
"the shorts are quite smart.
There Is no question of pre
venting Gussie from wearing
them If she wanted."
Miss Horria Idriss, secretary
of the Egyptian Feminist union,
said "Gussie is perfectly free to
wear black or white as this is a
question of personal taste."
"It's good that someone should
introduce a new fashion," she
said. "I wish her every success
and I am going to see her play."
But Gergina Greiss, Egypt's
leading female recquet wield
er, said "I think they're aw
ful." The furore kicked up by her
attire apparently hasn't hurt
Gussie's game.
Despite an injured toe a cy
clist ran over it she teamed
with Belgian Philippe Washer to
beat Pat Todd and Adrian Quist
9-7, 6-2 in the finals of the
mixed doubles championship.

The Orangemen will have the

in addition to a brilliant outside
shooting threat in Guard Jack

against L.I.U.

UCLA Wins Coast Title,
Plans for NCAA Tourney
Los Angeles, March 13 P)
Having won their first Pacific
Coast conference basketball
championship, the UCLA Bruins
will leave here a week from
Thursday for the western re
gional NCAA playoffs at Kansas
City.
Coach John Wooden's fire
house five is resting up today
from its riotous embroglio with
Washington State last Friday and
Saturday in the coast conference
playoffs.
The Bruins won both games,
60 to 58 and 52 to 49, but they
had to throw their high speed
offense into overdrive in order
to roll past the scrappy Cou
gars. Friday night's victory was ef
fected by a storybook shot in
the last three seconds, and drew
justifiable groans from Wash
ington State supporters. The
Cougars outplayed UCLA dur
ing the second half, but lost the
game when bespectacled Ralph
Joeckel a reserve forward,
swished In a 50-foot desperation
heave as the final gun sounded.
On Saturday night, however,
UCLA's victory was masterfully
contrived. During the first half
the game was a carbon copy of
the previous one, with the two
clubs deadlocked, 31-all, at the
intermission.
Then the Bruins held the Cou
gars off with a roving zone de-i
fense bulwarked by substitutel
guards Art Alper and Don Sei-i
del. Except at one point where
Washington State forged ahead
momentarily, UCLA held its lead
right down to the finish.
Alan Sawyer, the Bruins, ace
forward, took scoring honors
with 16 points. The cougars'

Australian Olympic team.
The modest 20-year-old young

tances between 220 yards and

recently in his first appearance
before a big American crowd
2500 fans who filled every seat
surrounding the Yale pool.
He lowered the listed world's
free style records for 300-yards,
300-meters and 440-yards. He
covered the 300-yards in 3:01.4;
300-meters in 3:20 and 440-
yards in 4:36.4. The books

3:03 for 300-yards and 3:21 for
