Australia's John Devitt, center, was judged winner, with Lance Larson, left, of the United States Aussses Cop Net Doubles Chestnut Hill, Mass. - IUPH -The National Doubles tennis tournament took eight days to prove that most everybody had suspected all along: That Australia has the finest tennis players in the world. Right now, that honor goes to 26-year-old Neale Fraser, an imperturbable southpaw, and black-haired Roy Emer son, a lithe, "drive 'em down the alley" 23-year-old whose forte is net play. The veteran Aussies needed only 83 minutes Sunday to prove to an appreciative Long wood Cricket club gallery that they were the best around, whipping fellow Aus tralians Rod Laver and Bob Mark 9-7, 6-2, 6-4, to win the 80th USLTA doubles tourney.

(UPI Radiotelephoto) Defense Principal Concern of Patriots (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the fifth of 21 dispatches sizing up the prospects of teams in the American Football league and the National Football league.) By RON SUPINSKI Boston -flJPD- A solid passing attack, spotty running and a questionable defense is giving coach Lou Saban of the Boston Patriots smiles mingled with bad dreams. With the start of the new American Football league sea son only two weeks away, Sa ban said the Patriots have "a good passing attack," the run ning "is coming along," and the defense "is our biggest concern." SERVICE SPECTACULAR TUES. & WED. ONLY And a quick look at the Pa triots' exhibition perform ances and roster proves that the former all-pro linebacker for the Cleveland Browns knows on which side the foot ball is laced. In winning three of four pre-season games the Patriots scored most of their touch downs with passes. Ed (Butch) Songin. former Boston college quarterback and all-Canadian pro football choice, has thrown seven touchdown pass es, at least one in each game. Quarterback Tommy Greene, who played for Holy Cross college, also contributed two TD heaves. Ends Jim Col clough and Oscar Lofton and flanker back Larry Garron usually have been the targets. But the runing-attack, fea turing Ron Burton, G e r Schwedes and Jim Crawford has been less sensational..Bur ton, the 9-9, 190-pound speed ster irom worm western, was doing the bulk' of the carry ing unin a leg injury forced him to the sidelines. Crawford, the nation's lead ing ground gainer at Wyoming in 1956, took up the slack. But the Patriots main threat still came through the air. Not Yet To Peak Schwedes, Syracuse hero In his team's Cotton Bowl vic tory over Texas last Jan. 1, has not yet reached his peak, according to the club's coach es. The defense, however, has Saban talking to himself. "Our biggest concern is try ! ing to find swing men that j can go both on offense and de fense. We've got three fine I linebackers in Bill Brown. Jack Rudolph and Tony Sar disco, but we need one other i at the outside spot." uniess your deiense can I get that ball for you, you won i score," saban said. Frank Gatski, 36, a 12-year veteran of the National Foot ball league, has been "helping me ooys in our line," Saban said. "And Fred Bruney who has spent six years as a halfback with the Lions, Steelers and Washington has been working with our young backs," he added. BASEBALL SCHOOL Philadelphia -flJP- Manager Uene Mauch will supervise a special post-season minor league instruction school to be conducted by the Phila delphia Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. Classes will be available for first -year players in the club's farm system and youngsters who have signed 1961 contracts. BARGAIN GRADE 2x4x8' Sl00 Per M' Chenev Stud Mill AT Central Point Olymp ic U.S. Hoop Quint Beats Hungarians By LEO H. PETERSON UPI Sports Editor Rome-amt-Gary Tobian. 25, University of Southern Cali fornia, gave the United States its first gold medal of the Olympic Games by winning the springboard diving cham pionship in a dramatic duel with Mexico's Juan Botella. Tobian, six-footer from Glendale, Calif., came from behind on the final two dives to nose out stubby Sam Hall. 23, of Ohio State with a total of 170.00 points against 167.08 for the Dayton athlete. But with only two dives re maining both of the Yanks had been trailing Mexico's Botella. and Botella was sec ond with one dive remaining. But the Yanks finished one- two as the Mexican fell back to a final point total of 162.30 points. Other highlights today: -Carolyn Schuler, 17, Orin- da, Calif., led all tl.e quali fiers in the women's 100- meter butterfly with an Olym pic record of l:09.8-slashing two-tenths of a second off the former mark set by Shelley Man of the U.S.A. in 1956. Leads American Beauty -Germany s Ingrid Kramer, 17, who defeated Paula Pope for the Olympic springboard title, took a 1.60 lead over the American beauty in the high diving elimination round which ends with two unlimit ed dives Tuesday afternoon. -The awesome U.S. basket ball team romped to its third straight victory, crushing Hungary, 107-63, to reach the semifinal rounds. Uncle Sam also had a chance to pick up Gold Medals in the women's 100 meter freestyle and the men's 800 meter free style relay. Chris Von Saltza of Sara toga, Calif., who is only 16, was given a good chance in the 100-meter freestyle final, in which Carolyn Wood of Portland, Ore., also is in the running. But they face stern competition from Dawn Fra ser of Australia, among others. A Canoeing Also-Ran Another event in which the United Stales is given a good chance is the men's 800 meter freestyle relay. In addition to those three championships, there will be seven Gold Medals decided to day in canoeing. But the United States is among the also-rans in that sport. However, the United States swimmers were determined to go all out. They were angry because they felt Lance Lar son of El Monte, Calif., was deprived of victory in Satur da. night's 100-meter free style final. John Devitt of Australia was awarded the close decis ion over Larson on the basis of judges votes. Two of the first place three judges picked Devitt and that was the basis for the decision. However, two of the three second place judges put the Aussie second. U. S. Protested The United States protested to the International Swim ming federation but was turn- pH down. - v "The failed to take the time into consideration," com plained Larson. He was clock ed in :55.1, :55.1 and :55 even while Devitt was timed in :55.2 by all three watches on him. United States men's swim ming coach Gus Stager of Ann Arbor, Mich., was critical of the decision, too. "There's too much nation alism in the judging," he com plained. "People lose sight of the competitor and he's the only one who really counts." The loss of the protest even- 1st Gold Games KF Tussle Rained Out Hastings, Neb. - IUPII - Klam ath Falls will try again to night to play its opening round game with New Orleans in the American Legion base ball little world series here. The Oregon champions were rained out of their scheduled game with New Orleans Sunday night. A game between Hastings and Miami, Fla., was also rained out and the Billings, Mont.,-Brooklawn, N.

In the Olympics at London in 1948, the Yankee 1,600 meter re lay team was disqualified for allegedly passing the baton beyond the permissable line. The United Stales protested and when motion pictures showed the United States run ners to have passed the baton correctly, the international track jury reinstated the orig inal finish and the Gold Medal went to Uncle Sam's quartet of speed boys. With the Olympics going into their fourth day of com petition-Sunday was a day off Germany was leading in the unofficial team championship with 34 points, with Italy sec ond with 30.

Seventeen lettermen are ex pected to form the nucleus of the Phoenix squad. Of these seven are from former Talent high. And, Coach Jack Wood ward says these gridders are bound to be an important part of the aggregation. Among the seven are five two-year lettermen, Bob Ja cobs, end; Terry Hanson, cen ter; Rick Seymour, tackle, and Fred Tycksen and Mike Olson, guards. The one-year men from Talent are John Kerns, 230-pound sophomore tackle, and Bob Dickinson, end. Heading the list of mono gram men from Phoenix, which gained the state A-2 semi-finals in 1959, is Gerald Slopcr, three-letter quarter back. Two-year letter winners are Othar R i c h e y, being LA Eyeing Opportunity Los Angeles -IUPII- The Los Angeles Dodgers, several of them suffering from mild cas es of flu, hoped they could catch Pittsburgh while it was still in a slump when tl.e Pi rates invade the Coliseum to night. The Dodgers lost a chance to gain ground on the Pirates Sunday when Cincinnati came up with a nine-run first in ning and coasted to a 9-3 win. The Pirates for their first game here named their top huiier, Vernon Law, 18-5, in the hope he can snap their losing streak at four games. Law this season has beaten the Dodgers four times with out a loss and holds a life time 15-10 record against Los Angeles. Johnny Podres, 11-9 was the probable Dodger starter, unless a stiff back prevents him from pitching, Podres is 2-2 against the Bucs this sea son and 13-8 lifetime. Although a half-dozen Dodgers have had slight at tacks of flu, second baseman Charlie Neal had the worst case and probably will miss tonight's game. He has not played since Thursday.

Rough Losses Woodward reported that Phoenix, even before the sea son begins, has suffered some jolting losses of players who were expected to have im portant roles on this season s team. For instance, Dan Lum ley has transferred to Willa mina. The Rogue league 220 yard sprint champ was a great break away runner for the pirates last season. Les Baker, regular center last season, has transferred to Crater. Sam Walls, regular end, has dropped from school. Jery Kelley, an end, is an other who moved away. Graduation hurt the Phoe nix hopes for I960 also not so much in numbers as in quality. Woodward described last year s co-captains, Jack Hoffbuhr, lineman, and Leon Small, back, as "tremendous nnd about impossible to re place." Ron Baker, Joe Col fax and Jim Martin, were line men who did a great job in 1959. At present, according to Woodward, the line seems to need the most attention. Al though several lettermen are available, only one was a Pirate regular last year. Tal ent players have to learn a new system. Staff Pleases About his staff of assistants, Woodward is much pleased, i The mentor remarked, "Wc are as happy about our coach- ! ing staff as wc are about get- ' ting the excellent prospects from Talent." I Hap Consbruck, head track tutor, will aid Woodward on I the gridiron again. Eldon Dur- ham, now head basketball coach, is another football as sistant. He was head football coach at Illinois Valley last year. Tom Quinowski, Talent junior high mentor, is assist ing with the senior high team until school starts, and Wal lace Eri, Phoenix grade school teacher, also is helping with the prep crew. Phoenix is conducting 7 to B o'clock drills each evening. The team meets Ashland alpj Phoenix In its opener on Sept. , 9 and Woodward feels that his club has a big job cut out for it in getting ready for this contest. Same 1st line quality as on new cars!
