She was Gene Cox, 13, eye-apple youngest daughter of Georgia's cantankerous Representative Edward Eugene ("Goober") Cox.

Last week in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, the Budge backhand finally met the Vines forehand. It was the opening match of a 70-city Budge v.

It is conceivable that, attacked by a hostile legislature or beleagured by a hostile press, the University may have to appeal someday to the good sense of the public. Radio advertising will be the proper medium, and directed by professionals it will not fail to have a profound effect.
