Scoreboard

P: In Australia, the Sydney Daily Mirror headlined a tennis reversal: TRABERT PULVERIZES LEW HOAD. The U.S.'s Tony Trabert, bouncing back from his five-set Davis Cup loss to Hoad, whipped the youngster, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2, for the South Australian tennis title. Said Hoad: "I've had tennis for the moment." P: In Cincinnati, meeting at the N.C.A.A. convention, the unofficial Ivy League finally made it official. Beginning in 1956, the Ivies--Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale--will meet one another in football on a round-robin basis for a regular conference championship. P: In Melbourne, Australian Trackman John Landy, whose 4:02.1 mile is the third fastest on record, set an Australian two-mile mark of 8:58.2. P: In Rio de Janeiro, Emil Zatopek, Czechoslovakia's triple Olympic winner, running over a soggy track, missed his 10,000-meter world record (29:02.6) by less than a minute.
