United Pss International New York-flJPD-Tennis pro Jack Kramer has offered Davis Cup star Alex Olmedo a sliding scale $75,000 to $100,000 to turn professional at jne ena oi tne year, ne ais closed today, and is annoyed that the offer was "treated as a joke." An amateur tennis player. under the Simon Pure Code, can be barred as an amateur for even discussing pro terms. But it is no secret that over the years Kramer "privately" has come to agreement with the top amateurs before their troohv and cash-under-the-ta ble days ended. - -. - ... ... Olmedo. hero of the United States Davis Cup victory over Australia, simply thinks that he's worth more money and is dickering with other sources which reportedly are arrang ing a rival tour tnat wovua include Althea Gibson. Based on Big Three Kramer's offer to Olmedo, as of the end of the year, was based on the big three events of amateur tennis -Wimbledon, the U.S. cham pionship and the Davis Cup Victory in one would bring Olmedo a $75,000 contract; two wins would bring him $80,000 and all three would pay off at $100,000. Kramer, in New York to conduct the draw for his $15,- 000 tournament of champions at Forest Hills June 21-28, seemed more annoyed than displeased with 0 1 m e d o's negative reaction. - And, in an ultimatum to Olmedo, he made it plain that he didn't want the Peruvian W(Q)OT MY B) jf , , - voir p ?Maif aiMBEIM One Beam family for six iensrations...Cns Kentucky Bourbon formula to 164 years!

"I have to plan ntixt year before the end of thris one," Kramer explained. "If he still acts coy, I've got to o ahead with the top-four pros. -we have currently." That means another tourna ment tour built arour Q Pancho Gonzales, the blazing Lew Hoad and the two erivanoinc young Australian pros, Ashley Cooper and Mai Ancterson. Worried About AtfL'Jude " ' "Olmedo's attitude worries me," Kramer said. "I'm not putting the knock on him, but he seems to be the t type you nave to Keep propcung-and we don't want any more prima donnas. We'ie had one for 10 years and that's enough." This was, of course, a direct reference to Gonzales. He and Kramer have been so at odds, at times, that lawjiers had to be called in. Kramer current ly is in the "driveirs seat in this perpetual fencing duel because the attorneys figured out that Gonzales is under contract to Jack umtil 1962. Kramer's lack : of concern over whether Ohuedo accepts his offer or not items from the fact that privately he doesn't believe that under the current strong pito set-up the amateur champion is so high ly necessary to p:co success. , "The pro players have reached such a peak of excel lence that the amateur cham pion, aside frona his reputa tion, is no good; for the first year," he illustrated. "He is a cinch to be jbeaten-which meant he is worth something to you at the Ibox office for only about 10 ; matches. He really i a Ion?; term invest ment and it'a sfcout time the amateur chamntions beean to realize it."

Houston To Carry Impressive Record Into NCAA Golf Fray University of Oregon, Eu- gene-Who can stop Houston university's bid for a fourth straight NCAA golf cham pionship next week when more than 150 golfers open play Monday over the rug ged Eugene Country Club course. Nearly two dozen four-to-six-man squads are going to try-over the 36-hole cham pionship route, but the Hous ton record is fair warning it will be a tough job. Houston conies into the the NCAA tournament with a marvelous string of 16 wins without a defeat in various championships during the. last three seasons. The unbeaten record began late in the 1958 campaign and now includes unbeaten . 1958 and 1959 years. During that 16 tournament winning streak a member of the Houston team won medal ist honors in 10, including both the 1957 (Rex Baxter) and 1958 (Phil Rodgers) NCAA tournaments. Three Sophomores Youthful inexperience may or may not be a stumbling block for Coach Dave Wil liams team and the defense of a national championship will be a real challenge to three sophomores who make up two thirds of the six-man squad entered in the NCAA. The squad is led by senior Bob Pratt, the semi-finalist last year, junior Jack Cupit, the lone Texan on the squad, junior Tony Marimon of Madrid. Spain, and rookie Ron Weber' of Prineville, Ore., Dick Crawford of Springhill, La., and Joel Gold strand of Worthington, Minn. Oklahoma State, the run nerup last year and expecting added punch from sophomore Jimmy Wright, gave Houston a tough tussle in toth meet ings with the champs this year in regular tournaments and should be a tough con tender. North Texas State (fifth), Rollins of Florida (sixth), Stanford (seventh) and Pur due (tenth) are all back out of last year's top 10 while Oregon, which won the PCC and Yale, the Eastern inter collegiate winners, also rank high in consideration. The other teams with full squads include Chico State, Duke, Florida with Walker Cupper Tommy Aaron, Fres no State with California champion Joel Spinola, Idaho, Oregon State, Portland uni versity, Princeton, San Jose State, Seattle, Texas Tech, Texas, Washington, Iowa and Tulsa.
