Besides scoring 29 points, Ma-

The victory jumped Tech’s
Southwest Conference record to
2-1 and a second-place tie with

the Mustangs to 1-2 in the con-
ference.
The victory was Tech’s over-
all seventh win against six de-

second half.

He has shunned contact with
the press but consented Satur-

with a Rochester newsman.
Did he think the operation
would help him?
“It should,’’ the Yankee star
said. “We’ll have to wait and
see.”
Mantle explained earlier that
he hurt his shoulder about a
year ago while playing touch

highly successful U.S. touring

Manus and Herb FitzGibbon —
won their first tests Friday.
Ashe, the top-seeded foreigner
who hails from Richmond, Va.,
and is the winner of four tourna-
ments on the Australian circuit,
played well within himself in
erasing Richard Crealy, a Syd-
ney youngster, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.
Graebner of Beach wood, Ohio,
No. 2 in the foreign seedings,
easily beat Soegiarto of Indone-
sia 6-2, 6-4,7-5.
Miss Richey, No. 1-ranking
U.S. woman from Dallas, Tex.,
cut down Margaret Dunne of

school teacher. Miss Smith, bid-
ding for her sixth straight wom-
en's championship, easily won
over Alexis Kenny of Australia
6-3, 6-1.
Emerson's Davis Cup team-
mates, Fred Stolle and John
Newcombe, also won easily.
Stolle, seeded No. 2 domestical-
ly, crushed Bruce Gulley 6-4, 6-
3, 6-2 and Newcombe, No. 3,
topped Hakan Zahr of Sweden 6-
3, 6-1, 6-0.
Graebner and Riessen, main
threat to Emerson and Stolle in
the men's doubles, defeated
Australians John Christopher-
son and Ray Wilson 6*4, 7-5, 6*4.
McManus and FitzGibbon had
an easy time with Alex Harms
of Argentina and Graham Pol-
lard of Australia 6-0, 6-2,6-1.
Emerson and Stolle had a sur-
prisingly tough match with the
patched up team of Richard
Russell of Jamaica and John
