PERTH, Australia--A strained stomach muscle forced Alex Olmedo to the sidelines Thursday, leaving Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, and Earl Buchholz of St. Louis to carry on America's hopes for a singles title in the West Australian Tennis Championships...
Olmedo, biggest draw in the tournament, lost one set in beating Alick Bridges, West Australia's best player. Earlier, Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, and Earl Buchholz of St. Louis, had defeated their opponents in second round matches. MacKay dropped the opening set to Doug Napier of Australia but bounced back...
...although it remains a rather tough puzzle. Certainly it has far more surface attraction than the Stockhausen recorded here: Boulez call for alto flute, xylorymba, vibraphone, guitar, viola, and several exotic percussion instruments.

In one respect at least. President-elect McCord promises to be like his predecessor: he is an outspoken man. Dr. Mackay, who spent nearly 20 years as a minister and teacher in Latin America, has the combative stance of a Presbyterian caught in a crowd of Roman Catholics, has campaigned vigorously against persecution of Protestants in Catholic Spain, against the dangers of religious syncretism within Protestantism...
