The,pori ? " sHTßckey to an American victory is in thp doubles competition tomorrow when the veteran Schroedef aUd" youngster Tony Trabert meet Sedgman and Ren McGregor. The Sedgnian-Schroeder match today was the one that provided the thrills for. the record-breaking \ throng of 1.300 fans who packed ' White City stadium.

And after Sedgman had beaten Schroeder, the second-guessers oil the American side believed that captain Frank Shields had made a mistake in not sticking to - the ’•'youth” plan that would have had Dick Savitt, the youngster from Orange. N.J., who .holds the U.S. and Wimbledon crowns, in a singles spot. ; /' ' •' "I’m 50 percent happy,” said ‘ Shields. “Sedgman played the best tennis I’ve ever seep him play-4 and that includes his winning per* . formances in the United States.” , Shields also was happy with the - behavior of the qrowd. - , “That crowd has been IC’D per* dent,” he said. “Why, they actually were rooting for Schroeder in that last set as if he had been playing t another American.”

Fla., Dec. ,26— (UP)— A tremendous one-man performance that his own coach called merely his “third best" game ,of the year made big Bill Wade of Vanderbilt a red-hot prospect for the pro football ranks today.

Bill Edwards of Vanderbilt, agreed. The Commodore skipper, who assisted Gustafson of Miami%in coaching the winning Southerners, said that Wade played better games during the regular season against Tennessee and lulane. Wade completely stole, the spotlight from North quarterback Bob Blaik, who was. returning to football for the first time since he was dismissed from West Point in the “cribbing” scandal. BlaikZnow a student but not a player at Colorado College, did a fine* job for the North—guiding his team to its only touchdown which was tallied late in the fourth quarter on a 42-yard pass he threw to John Tiirco of Holy Cross. All in all, Blaik tossed 15 passes and completed eight for 110 yards. He also was caught behind the line for a tot|l of 58 yards lost.
