...freshman team, also meeting Yale today, will base its strength on its foil. Captain Pete Boyce, Mike Klapper and Eugene Lew have excellent records in this event. The rest of the team is well balanced, with Doug Runnels powerful in sabre...
...taxi. Nevertheless, he was relieved that he was not due to play first (he had been beaten in the opening singles match last year). But eager-beaver Tony was bursting for action. The luck of the draw had spared Seixas, pitted Trabert against Australia's brilliant Lew Hoad in the singles opener. Trabert and Hoad divided the first two sets. In the next, Hoad had Tony sweating at set-point, but lost his chance on a cross-court shot that went out. Hardhitting Tony raised his game a notch, won the set by 12-10, then easily romped...

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...
