...jersey left over from last summer but, more likely they will follow the trend to offbeat fabrics ranging all the way from suede to satin. An occasional girl will turn up in a plain old vanilla terry-cloth jacket or playsuit, but most of her fellow travelers will sport the same fabric colored purple, cerise or tangerine. The beach-bound set will wander the islands in shirts that follow the Pucci dictum (find two colors that cannot go along quietly, put them together, and toss in five or six more for accents) and accompanying slacks that are cut as slim...
Backhand or Forehand. The matches squared matters nicely-and established Mexico as a stylish new power in what is now a generally lackluster sport. Mexico's No. 1, Rafael Osuna, 24, who perfected his tennis as a student at Southern Cal, had proved himself a one-man gang in earlier cup matches, trimming the U.S.'s Jon Douglas in a close match and beating both Sweden's Ulf Schmidt and Jan Erik Lundquist...

Taylor's personal philosophy is uncomplicated: "I like to knock heads." A driving, crablike runner, he always hits the line precisely where he is supposed to-even when there is no hole ("I won't be intimidated''), never cuts when he can run down a tackler instead ("I like to sting them a little''). Crouched low to present the smallest possible...
