Hartwlg, a 34-year-old farm boy from the suburbs of Melbourne; was the strong man of tha Australian combination, return . big sarvlcs brilliantly and making ' lew errors. Hoad, although his bomb-like - service often waa unplayable, fell Into errors which frequently burt his side's cause. His volleying par ticularly was erratic and be netted frequently.

By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK fl .Thursday, Sept. 1, is National Arnica Day. Not officially, of course. But Thursday is the day when college football players begin their prac tice sessions and that evening am lea, the soothing salve of the an cients, will be applied in liberal doses to sprains and bruises from coast to coast. For that one day at least, every team will be a contender for lis conference title end every player a potential All-America. But come Dec. 3, when Duke and North Carolina bring an end to the scheduled season you prob ably will find the same old names at the top of the heap. Army and Navy, and possibly Pittsburgh, loom as the strongest in the East with Cornell and Yale tabbed as the best two in the Ivy league. Maryland and Duke rank one. two in pre-season Atlantic Coast Conference discussions; West Vir ginia appears too strong for other Southern Conference foes,, and Georgia Tech and Auburn are rat ed the strongest claimants for the Southeastern Conference laurels. Oklahoma is almost a cinch to enjoy another unbeaten campaign' in the Big Seven while Michigan is reported as the successor to Ohio State in the rugged Big Ten Southern Methodist and Rice art wild Southwest circuit and Houston to take over Wichita's throne in far-flung Missouri Valley. Wyoming could be the 1955 cham pion of the Skyline Eight, where Denver was boss a year. There's every indication that most of the Pacific Coast Gridiron power is concentrated In Los Angeles with either UCLA or Southern Califor nia owning all the marbles. Perhaps the biggest shocker of the pre-season gossip is the one that Notre Dame, annually regard ed as a candidate for No. 1, may be in for a rugged year and that Miami University of Florida will be the cream of the independents There are some who say that Miami will defeat .the Irish when they tangle in the Orange Bowl on the night of Oct. 7. Coach Terry Brennan saw virtu ally his entire line graduated last June and also lost Ralph Gugliel mi, the All-merica quarterback. By Sept. 17, some of the teams will be playing for keeps but it is not until the following Saturday, FRIDAY'S MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AMERICAN ASSN.
