NMI • DAVE FORE strong behind plate Tennis Officials Lash at Britain LONDON (iP) Tennis officials in the provinces bit terly accused Britain's top officials yesterday of retreating on the question of open tournaments. • Briitsh delegates won approval for open tennis at a special meeting of the International Lawn Tennis Feder ation in Paris over the weekend. But • the British, who previously had declared their intention of. abolishing all' distinctions between profes sionals and amateurs, compromised and were restricted to three open events this year , in addition to Wimbledon. Organizers of three other tournaments, who had ex pected to-run their' events on open lines, complained they had been let down. Peter Davies, secretary of the North of England Tour nament which is played at Manchester in June, said: "We are disappointed that Britain has compromised almost to the point of complete negation of the freedom we sought as a national body." Extremely Surprised Mrs. Hilda Smith, secretary of the Bristol Tennis Club which runs the West of England Championships, said: "We are extremely surprised and feel we have been let down." John White, secretary of the Hoylake tournament, said: "If it goes on like this the whole circuit could be a chaotic shambles. It should have been all open or nothing." • Jim Manning, columnist of the Daily Mail, reported the Paris , talks under the headline "Tennis Sell-Out." Britain was nominally suspended three months ago after saying it would tear up the ILTF rules and . admit professionals to all tournaments. The compromise was to prevent a break-up of the ILTF. But officials of the British Lawn Tennis Associa tion contended they had gained a victory—even though they had agreed to a limit on the number of open tour naments. . The ILTF wants to limit open" events, apparently be cause it fears professional , prompters might have too much say in running the world game. There were some doubts in other countries, too. Step in Right Direction Owen Williams, director of the South African Cham pionships, said the ILTF vote was a step in the right direction, but added: "I would want to know the full implications before saying it is entirely satisfactory." Henk Van Hoegee, secretary of the Netherlands Lawn Tennis Association, said he was disappointed a compro mise had been made. - Tennis officials everywhere waited to see how the new setup would work out. The ILTF now recognizes four classes of competi tors pure amateurs, registered players who may col lect big expenses and make a profit, touring professionals under contract to promoters and professional coaches. But every country has been given the right to de cide policy for itself. Britain, for one, has said it will cease to recognize any differences between pros and amateurs at all. Top Amateur Stars Turn Professional INGLEWOOD, Calif. (P) Billie Jean King, the world's No. 1 ranking women's tennis player, turned pro- Sessional yesterday along with three other gals and Aus tralia's Roy Emerson. Mrs. 'King, of Long Beach, Calif., could earn up to $70,000 in her first year of play-for-pay, the tour president estimated, while Emerson could make $lOO,OOO for each of the two years he is under contract. Also signing with the National Tennis League, headed by former Davis Cup captain George McCall, were Arm Haydon Jones of England, Francoise Durr of France and Rosemary Casals, 19-year-old star from San Francisco. "A great deal for me and a great deal for tennis," de clared Mrs, King, a 24-year-old who has won or shared a dozen United States championships. "I have always wanted to be a pro. In this country, if you're a pro, you're some body. If you're an amateur, you're nobody." Mac Call didn't announce the exact figures of the contracts but said Emerson was guaranteed about $75.000, Mrs. King between $40,000 and $50,000 and the other three women in the $25,000-$30,000 neighborhood. The new professional group which already had in cluded Ron Laver, Ken Rosewall, Fred Stolle, Andres Gimeno and Rancho Gonzalez, makes its American debut at the forum in Inglewood on Sunday. Mac Call said' the pros will compete in the open tour naments at both Bournemouth and Wimbledon in England, and he hopes to have' them compete in others. "We are scheduled solidly through the middle of Au gust," he declared. The professionals in the National Tennis League will play the best two of three sets under regular rules.

Re calling the previous year's 3-1 exhi bition record, Medlar commented, "You can't do that too often in baseball. We stepped off the plane and won .three of four ball gathes." Last Friday, with five of the seven scheduled games-in the record books, it looked as if Medlar's misgivings had been justified. The Lions' record stood at a dismal 0-5 and practically nothing had gone the way it was supposed to go. At -first the hitters were hitting well, but so were the enemy batters—, mainly because State's pitchers were not up to par. When the pitchers got straightened out the hitting disap peared, r .. To compound the agony, Jim All gyer, a senior who is heavily counted on to turn' in a topnotch pitching rec ord this year, pulled a muscle off his left rib cage. He's still not ready and ,won't be back throwing for another week. But perhaps the Lions had only needed time to warm up. After all, they had 'been practicing in the Ice Pavilion while Florida State and Wake Forest Were playing the start of their regular seasons under the sunny South ern skies. Springfield had been work ing out in its field house since the first week of January. After the Flordia sun had worked on the Lions for several days, they were able to put everything :together for the first time 'during the trip. In the final two games State punished Wake Forest, 9-5 and 6-0. The team totaled 24 hits in 'the two games. The best news in the two victories Persson, Stansfield Honored Two Penn .

In the first game Denny Lingenfelter, who had turned in a fine performance in a losing cause three days earlier, gave up just two ,earned runs in' six innings. Sophomore` Bill IVlicsky came in and pitched hitless ball the rest 'of the way. In Saturday's seven-inning get away game, Gary 'Manderbach went five innings, surrendering two hits and no runs. Frank Spaziani preserved the shutout, giving up just one bit in his two-inning stint. Good 'Week of Work Medlar described the exhibition trip as, "a good week of work," and one in which he was able to work out a tentative starting line-up for the sea- ' son opener, Thursday. "We experimented a little at first," said Medlar, "and we were able to put it all together in the last two games." The line-up appears set except for the continuing dog fight at third. Rod Cowburn is attempting to take the spot away from Jim Owens, who had looked good in the early trials but has slowed down. Dave Fore is solid behind the plate. Mike Egleston looks like the 'first base man despite tenseness in the exhibition games. Medlar . is waiting for the 6'4" soph to break loose and show the power which everyone knows he has. Keystone Combo Returns Returnees Ken Barto and John Featherstone hold down the middle of the infield. Barto, a fine fielding second baseman, is expected to provide more muscle with the bat than he did lass. season when he hit only .186. Featherstone was one of the big hitters last season and looks like the cleanup man this year. The top outfielder is Gary Kana skie, who led the team in home runs and RBIs a season ago. Flanking Ka naskie in the garden are Joe Comforto and Dick Dreher, both starting for the. kmong All-State Choicei ~..s:., L:, JEFF PERSSON In 28 games the 6-foot-5 inch junior from Philadelphia scored 546 points, grabbed 278 re bounds and handed out 134 as sists.

The soph didn't show 'a lot in freshman ball last season and wasn't 'counted on at the beginning of this year. But he has come a lo'ng way under Medlar's tute lage and right now •looks like a win ner. The season opener is just three days away and the final practice ses sions will be devoted to rounding out overall performance. Lingenfelter is expected to get the nod to start Thurs day's game at Bucknell. The senior righthander threw three hitless in nings in a practice game with Lock Ha ven State yesterday and said his arm felt strong. He should be the staff leader this year. Weather Worries With the team getting into shape Medlar's biggest worry now may be something he is powerless to control. That's the location of the new base ball field. The University turned the old field into a- quagmire which will one day be -two new classroom build ings. A new field, complete with heated dugouts, was laid out on the far East ern part of campus. So what's Medlar's worry? The wind. The gales were bad at old Beaver F . i but they are truly spectacular Lhe new one. The outfielders are forced to play so far back that they're almost out of sight, and watching the players scramble for pop-ups makes the coaching staffs go pale. Yesterday _ Featherstone caught a low pitch and lofted it toward left-center. The jet stream' whipped it over the fence with room to spare. If the spring winds keep up it should be an interesting year in the new-found hitter's paradise. Especially with all those right handers in the lineup. Tournament. Villanova's Jones was de fense-minded Villanova's of fense, ,He scored 565 points in 28 games for a 20 point aver age and,grabbed 251 rebounds. His high. was 38 against Wy oming in the NIT. It was Jones' fine shooting which helped Vil lanova• win 17 of its last 20 games and earn an NIT bid. The Wildcats finished 19-9. Guziak, a pre-law student from Pittsburgh's Casimer, is the only senior on this other wise all junior all-star team.
