Nine in the Hopper. The week's real action took place a few blocks away in a ballroom of the Americana Hotel, where the ruling 234-member House of Delegates met to thrash out the medicare dispute. The mood there, in the words of Former A.M.A. President Edward R. Annis, was one of "contained frustration...

Following Kileff is Captain Dean Peckham, who moved up from eight to number six last year just in time to thrash Princeton's highly-touted Lee Rawls, 6-0, 6-1.
