...drivers who competed for the coveted title of ''Top Eliminator" were a long cry from the thrill-crazy "squirrels" who zoom through traffic and terrorize motorists. A few were professional racers; the majority were serious, mechanically inclined young men who belong to the National Hot Rod Association and test their creations in a relatively sane manner. They pay scrupulous attention to traffic laws (a ticket may mean suspension from their hot-rod club), restrict their racing to "drag strips"-the runways of abandoned airports, blocked-off roads, or isolated tracks...
Mack, incidentally, won the two-mile in 9:23.1 over a formidable rival, Rod of Princeton. Also buried in the excitement were two Coxe Cage records, a 7.3 in the hurdles by Bill Flippin of Yale and a 14 ft., 4 1/4 in. pole Charlie Mitchell of Princeton...

Brutal Efficiency. The coolheaded squad that shellacked Italy last week operated with precision and brutal efficiency. Redheaded Rod ("Rocket") Laver, 23, raised puffs of chalk along the base line with his accurate overspin backhands. Neale Fraser, 28, hampered all year by a bad knee, forced the Italians into error after error with neatly placed volleys. Star of the team was wiry Roy Emerson. 25, a tireless technician who plays like a blackjack shark: he does not hit hard, but he thinks fast and rarely makes an error of judgment. Last week Emerson got Australia off to a 1-0 lead...
