First highly seeded pro to fall was No. 8, Pancho Gonzales, beaten by Alexander Metreveli, an unseeded Russian who was happy just "to play against such famous men as Gonzales." After Pancho, the deluge. Australia's Lew Hoad (No. 7) was dumped by South Africa's Bob Hewitt, also unseeded; Aussie Roy Emerson (No. 5) lost to The Netherlands' Tom Okker, and Spain's Andres Gimeno (No. 3) went down before Ray Moore, a long-haired, self-styled hippie, who ranks only No. 3 in his home country of South Africa...
...Fokker D-VII, both slated for exhibition in a future air museum in New Jersey. But such, at least, was not the case with one beat-up, prop-less oldtimer, listed as the "Travelair Mystery Ship." "Mystery ship, hell!" snorted Oldtime Aviatrix Florence Lowe ("Pancho") Barnes. "I bought this ship in 1930 and flew it to two women's world speed records." When she made the winning bid of $4,300 for her old plane, which had been in Mantz's collection, the crowd stood and applauded. Pancho Barnes, for her part, guaranteed to have her old ship...
...British amateur proved that the talent gap may not be so big after all. On successive afternoons, Mark Cox, 24, who was not even considered good enough to play singles for the British Davis Cup team, upset two of the game's biggest names: the U.S.'s Pancho Gonzales, 39, king of the pros for 18 years, and Australia's Roy Emerson, 31, king of the amateurs until he signed a $75,000 pro contract last month...
Lefthander Cox started out shakily against Gonzales-blowing six straight games. "A love, love and love defeat crossed my mind," he said later. "I was very pleased finally to win a game. After that it was different." It sure was. Cox forced the panting Pancho into the first five-set match he had played in five years and wore him down in 2¼ hrs. 0-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Next day Cox disposed of Emerson in 75 min., blasting the Aussie off the court in straight sets...
...shaven face add paste-ons for a bristling night on the town. "It's strictly for evening wear, for theater and discotheques," says Dr. Allan Lazar, 30-year-old Manhattan periodontist, describing his new mustache and goatee. Sybil Burton Christopher reckons that at least half of the popular Pancho Villa or Zapata mustaches seen in her Manhattan discotheque, Arthur, are phonies. Narcotics agents regard hoked-up hairiness as an invaluable aid in infiltrating hippie drug circles, and servicemen feel an added hank of hair increases chances that the weekend pass will be completed. According to one mother...
