North s All-Stars Win Thriller, 23-20 MIAMI, Fla. (UP)—Dick Christy and Jim Ninowski set a frantic pace with long runs and passes Wednesday night as the College North-South All-Stars wrapped up the thrills of a whole season in one night for 28,303 fans in the Orange Bowl. Ninowski, the slender Michigan State quarterback who was named the North’s most valuable player, completed 13 of 33 passes for a record 295 yards in leading the “Yanks” to a 23-20 victory, only their third in the 10-game series sponsored for Shrine charities.

Aussies Take Both Opening Cup Matches MELBOURNE, Australia (UP)Young Australians Mai Anderson arid Ashley Cooper dealt two deadgame Americans bitter five-set singles defeats today to all but wipe out U.S. hopes of regaining the Davis Cup. „ 4 , Anderson, opened the payoff challenge round by outlasting surprising young Barry Mac Kay of Dayton, Ohio, 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 7-9, 6-3, although the losing Yank stamped himself a star of the future. And then the jam - packed crowd of 20,500 sitting under leaden skies at Kooyong Stadium saw handsome Cooper, and hometown hero, turn back 34-year-old Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, 3-6,,7-5, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, in what could be the crusher for the U.S. team. The 2-0 sweep left the Aussies needing only one more win in the three remaining matches—the doubles and the pair of singles tests. They’re expected to get that one more win right away in the doubles when they send Anderson and southpaw Mervyn Rose against the weary Seixas and either Mac Kay or 44-year-old Gardnar Mulloy of Denver, Colo. “We're down, 2-0, and must take a great gamble in the doubles tomorrow,” admitted U.S. team captain Billy Talbert after today s losses. “I’m not saying what I have in mind — I haven’t made my final decision on the doubles my final decision on the doubles team — bqt Mac Kay will be a greater player after today’s fine showing and any more Davis Cup he plays he’ll be even better.” Aussie captain Harry Hopman joined in praise of Mac Kay, who was a late substitute in Talbert s singles plans for ailing Herbie Flam. Said Hopman, “Mac Kay played really well and has a great tennis future.”

Sewage Purification Aiding Ohio River Water Sanitation Board In Reports CINCINNATI (UP) — Most of the people living along the 943mile course of the Ohio River soon will have a purer stream flowing by their doors. That was the prediction in a report submitted today to the governors of the eight states in the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission. The report said that about three fourths of the 10 million urban population oft he Ohio Valley are being benefitted by sewage purification facilities already installed or soon to be completed. Another million are to be served by treatment facilities in the final planning stage. B.A. Poole of Indianapolis, chairman of the commission, pointed out that only one of every 1,000 persons ’%'ad the benefit of such facilities when the commission began its work in 1948. The report showed 23 municipalities along the Ohio and its tributaries, including 13 in Ohio, had placed new treatment plants in operation this year and that 23 others added to their facilities. Another 25 towns began work on new plants or on expansions. The commission reported that a total of 1,431 industrial plants discharge excess matter into valley streams but that 717 of them have taken adequate measures to prevent pollution. Four years ago 323 plants were cooperating with the program. Edward J. Cleary, executive director and chief engineer, said the record was good but “we have a long way to go in elimination of taste-producing and harness-con-tributing compounds, the reduction of mine-acid drainage and in curbing carelessness in hadlig oil.” Charged With Leaving Scene Os Accident Rolland Hill, of Geneva, was arrested at his home Sunday on a charge of leaving the scene of An accident in Mercer county 0., and will appear in court Friday to answer the charge. The Hill automobile is reported to have collided with a car driven by Donald Muhlenkamp on the state line road, as Muhlemkamp turned into his own lane. Hill failed to stop, and when Muhlenkamp gave chase Hill wrecked his car. The car overturned, and Hill took off across the field.
