Detroit came to life momentarily in the second quarter: after a 52-yd. run by Lew Carpenter, and a Layne pass that put the Lions on the Cleveland four, Detroit's Bowman plunged over for the Lions' only touchdown. That was their last gasp. The Browns went for Layne mercilessly till he seemed almost out of action. A long pass by Graham, intended for Cleveland End Darrell Brewster, was knocked out of Brewster's hands but alertly grabbed in midair by Cleveland Halfback Ray Renfro. That set up the Browns' fourth touchdown, and the fifth followed...
...whom seem to become rabid tennis fans as soon as they can hold a racket. Last week Australia's tennis bugs were having nightmares. Reason: their star player and main hope for keeping the Davis Cup for the fifth straight year, blond, bullet-serving Lew Hoad, was playing slipshod and lazy tennis. Clearly, it was a national crisis which involved everybody from Lew Hoad's mother to Prime Minister Robert Menzies...

On a soggy, rain-soaked court last week in Melbourne's Kooyong Stadium, Australia's Ken Rosewall beat Seixas in the final of the Victorian Tournament, but that did not take the spotlight off floundering Lew Hoad (who had just turned 20 last fortnight).

Lew's mother, Mrs. Bonnie Hoad, who plays on the hard courts herself, chimed in: "Lew hasn't had a chance to relax since the Davis Cup last Christmas . . . A lad of that age needs more time to relax." Later Mrs. Hoad partly backed down, saying that Lew...
...speech, Prime Minister Menzies offered chin-up counsel to Hoad and to the U.S.'s Tony Trabert (who has suffered slumps and criticism in the past): "You, Tony, and you. Lew, are great players and but for players like you, there would not even be any such contest as the Davis Cup. Don't worry too much about critics. If there were no actors in the drama, there would be no critics. Don't you read a word of what they say. Go for your life. You are much better players than any of your onlookers...
