(INS)— National Champion Tony Trabert, the world's king of amateur tennis. is ready to turn professional —if the price is right. "I'm willing to listen to offers,” the 25-year-old powerboy declared. "I’ll sign with anyone who makes a high enough bid.” Trabert’s flat yankee dollar statement came almost immediately after he completed a sensational tennis “triple slam" Sunday by winning the U. S. national championship. Tony blasted his way to • 9-7, 6-3, 6-3, triumph over Australia’s 20-year-old Ken Rosewall in an exciting final at Forest Hills. The victory helped regain some of the prestige lost by Uncle Sam in surrendering the Davis Cup to the Aussies, but it did much more for the muscular Ohioan. Trabert became the first player to win the Wimbledon. French and U. 8. titles in the same year since Don Budge turned the trick back in 1938. Budge also won the Australian crown that year for a spectacular “grand slam,” but Tony’s triple figures to mean more in a monetary sense. Trabert made his pitch, a powerful bid which may land him an offer as high as >75,000, after defending champion Doris Hart of Coral Gables, Fla., won her second straight U. S. women’s title by beating England's Pat Ward, 6-4, 6-2. Trabert insisted that "I haven’t been made a definite offer yet, but I’m willing to listen.” The man moet Interested in catching Tony’s ear and his signature, is Jack Kramer, the pro impresario. Big “Jake” -was quick to let the world know that he's eager to talk shop with Trabert. "I certainly am going to talk to Tony,” Kramer said. “Trabert is the_ most salable item in the game today.” Tony was a virtual superman In crushing backhand master Rosewall, the second best amateur extant. ißoaewaH, the champion of his own country and the world's best backcourt sharpshooter. simply was overwhelmed by Trabert’s booming service and devastating overhead and backhand smashes. nt .

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

UCLA Picked As Top College Football Team

new York ons) - u.c.l.a. helps launch the 1955 college football season Friday night and before it's all over, the Bruins are expected to be sitting high and mighty atop the national rankings. Coach Red Sander’s single wing machine, which debuts against Texas A. and M„ not only is expected to win the Pacific Coast Conference title for the third year running but is picked by International News Service to defeat Michigan in the Rose Bowl and make off with the mythical national championship. U.C.L.A. was prohibited by conference rules from repeating in the Tournament of Roses last year and polled second in the final roll call to Rose Bowl champion Ohio State which also had a regular season's record of 9-0. But the INS panel of experts, which rates the nation’s “top ten” teams- throughout the fall, pick the Bruins to finish on top this time around and Michigan to rank second. The rest of the elite, in ascending order. Includes: 3. Oklahoma; 4. Maryland; 5. Southern Methodist; 6. Ohio State; 7. Southern California; 8. Georgia Tech; 9. Auburn, and 10. Navy. Making up the INS board of authorities are East-West Shrine game coaches and talent scouts Bernie Bierman of Minnesota and Andy Kerr, former Colgate coach and long time member of the NCAA rules committee; Francis J. Powers, veteran football writer and also an East-West scout; John Barrington, INS sports editor; INS reporter columnist Bob Considine, and sportscaster Harry Wismer. . The panel awarded Michigan, the new standard bearer of the Big Ten Conference, more first place votes t than U.C.L.A. but ranked the Bruins no lower than fourth on any ballot. Jess Hill's seventh ranked Southern Cal squad will provide the Uclans -with their stiffest resistance on the coast. The Trojans are improved but so is U.C.L.A., which is so deep in ’backfield talent that surplus backs are being converted to linemen. Fullback Bob Davenport will sparkplug the power laden Bruin attack. Ronnie Knox appears to be one of Sanders* better passing tailbacks. Last season's national champion and this year’s No. 6 team. Ohio State will find it tough replacing quarterback Dave Leggett and such standouts as Hubert Bobo. Dean Dugger and Bobby Watkins. Halfback Howard Cassady, who with Navy End (Ron Beagle represent the only two returning INS All-Americans, won't be enough to offset the manpower loss. Michigan, on the other hand, has 20 of the 25 players who almost beat the Buckeyes in last season's “cliinax game,” plus more speed. Bennie Oosterbaan is blessed with the return of end Ron Kramer, wingback Tony Brannoff and quarterback Lou Balducci. Oklahoma, on NCAA probation along with Cincinnati for recruiting violations, should mop up the Big Seven for the eighth straight season and may very well extend its undefeated string to 29 straight. All-American end Max Boydsten and center Kurt Burris have departed but the Sooners are touting center Jerry Tubbs — the 1954 fullback — guard 80l Bolinger and quarterback Jimmy Harris. Oklahoma's Orange Bowl opponent should be Maryland, which with Duke, has been the scourge of the Atlantic Coast conference for two unl>eaten years. Two of the brighter spots in Jim Tatum's split T attack are quarterback Frank Tamburello and Bob Pellegrini, ex-guard now playing center. Tatum admits this may be his best team ever. Southern Methodist is the Southwestern Conference representative to the “top ten” but the Mustangs will be hard pressed by an ambitious Rice team. The Southeastern Conference will have two representatives in Georgia Tech and Auburn and the two may wind up splitting the conference pie. Navy's Sugar Bowl champions are picked to repeat as the eastern power despite the loss of such veterans as fullback Joe Gattuso an half backs John Weaver and Bob Craig. Strong challenges will come'from Army and Penn State. Playoff Results ’ INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Beat of Seven Semi-Finals Toronto 2, Havana 1 (Toronto leads, ’3-1).

Indians Rally To Gain Splil With Yankees

NEW YORK (INS) —lt used to be the Cleveland Indians who did the folding when they met the New York Yankees face to face. But no more. The Indians may have wrapped up their second straight American League pennant Sunday because they stood up in the clutch just a bit bettor than the Yankees. They scrambled back to win the second game of a showdown doubleheader, 3 to 2, after dropping the opener, 6 to 1. The spilt enabled the Indians, who won't see the Yankees again this year (barring a playoff), to maintain a game and a half bold on first place. Only the fact that the Tribei Sustiplay three games In Washgt<W starting Tuesday, tempers Cleveland confidence. Ordinarily, that would be a picnic after the tough weekend the Indians put in against Boston and New York. But in this case, the league leaders have lost five straight games to the seventh place Senators. The Indians had so overcome a 2 to 1 deficit in the eighth inning to win Sunday's vital second game witnessed by a whopping 67.058 fans. They did so when Bob Avila homered to tie the score and Hoot Evers doubled, moved up on a force play and tallied on a wild pitch by Yanks' WhiteyFord. Ford, seeking his 18th victory and the author of back to back one hitters in his last two starts, gave the Indians only five hits to the Yanks' seven. But they included a second inning homer by Jim Hegan. a double and homer by Avila, who also hit for the circuit in the first game, and Evers’ two bagger. iThe' Indians, meanwhile, got three scoreless relief innings from Don Mossi after Herb Score had been nicked for Doth Yankee runs during the first six frames. Score fanned six, coming to within one whiff of the all time rookie strikeout record of 257 set by Grover Cleveland Alexander. Thirtytlfive-year old Tommy Byrne had narrowed the Tribe’s gap to half a game by four hitting them in the first contest for his 15th. victory. Except . for Avila's homer, he allowed only one runner to get as far as second base. Hank Bauer with a double, triple and single; Yogi Berra with three runs batted in on a single and sacrifice fly, and Joe Collins with an Inside the park homer swung potent bats against the Indians* Early Wynn. -■ Chicago and Boston's dying pennant hopes faded a bit more as they could only split their twin bill.

The Redlegs won that one, 9 to 0, and tbe second afaflr, 5 to f. ' Milwaukee topped Philadelphia twice, 5 to 4 and 9 to 1. Del Crandall’s grand slam homer, climaxing a five run rally in the ninth, won the curtain raiser. The Chicago Cubs edged the New York Giants, 7 to 5, and St. Louis nipped Pittsburgh, 6 to 5. The N.

MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 12.

Archery Tourney Held Here Sunday Twenty-one area archers from five near-by cities took part Sunday in a field round archery tournament sponsored by tbe Limberiost archery and conservation club. The tournament was held at the Ad-, ams county club’s new archery field range near Sunset Park. The course was built by the local members and is one of the best in the state. ’ Fort Wayne bowmen won several places as the big-city club has been organized for several years and its members have the advantage of experience. The Summit City archers payed several compliments not only about the course, but also to local marksmenship. and are looking forward to more meets with the Adams county club. It was suggested that an association between Fort Wayne, Decatur, Gas City and Anderson archery clubs might be formed in order to sponsor each other a tournaments and Increase the competition, van Wert may be included in the association if its club is reorganized. Field round archery is actually preparation for hunting with the bow and arrow, and is a lot more difficult than the more commonly known straight target shooting. Twenty-eight tarots are located around the course and each is at a different distance from the shooter and has different foliage and landcontour characteristics. Some targets require only one shot, which does not give the shooter the chance to adjust his aim. Any one interested in becoming a member of the local club is invited to contact Marion Robinson at the Decatur Why store or any club member.
