Although Eleo Sears is the Grand Old Girl of squash, she can still tire out the average youngster. One morning last week, when she had no match scheduled, she played nine straight games with hard-hitting, 20-year-old Hope Knowles (who later won the tournament).

O., concluding their respective conventions in Cincinnati and San Francisco (TIME, Oct. 16), were a-twist with statutory cramps. Each had fattened on the Wagner Act; neither was ready to go all the way back to Sam Gompers and confess that what ailed them was an overdose of law.
