Twin Brothers, College
Stars, Drown In Florida
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -
The tragic deaths of Samuel
and Daniel Cooper, identical
twins who were star pass catch
ing ends at Bethune-Cookman
College In Daytona Beach, Fla.,
cast a dark shadow over the
coming Wildcat football season.
Samuel died a hero as he
rushed in rough waters to aid
his brother, Daniel who appear
ed to be in trouble.
Only one person survived the
tragedy which took the lives of
the Coopers, both 21, Lula Wood
and Butler Vickers, 22, also of
Bethune - Cookman College.
Doris Bennett, 18, was pulled
from the water by an off duty
policeman and his friend.
The Sentinel Bulletin of Tam
pa reported the following facts
about the incident: The beach
party was organized Saturday,
with Samuel Cooper escorting
his girl friend, Miss Bennett,
Daniel, his girl friend, Miss
Woods and Butler Vickers going
alone after his girl friend was
unable to go because of last
minute baby sitting duties.

Woods went out in the
and Miss Woods got into trou

Tiger’s Real Clutch Answer
Earlier in the year, it was
no secret, in the Detroit Tig
er camp that a move was being
made to trade Gates Brown for
a righthanded power - fitter.
Brown swings from the left side
of the date and had his prob
lems last year, batting .154
as a pinch hitter. No deal
was made on Brown, and last
April, Tiger manager, Maye
Smith, said in essence “Let’s
go with Gates.”
So far this season, going with
Gates has been great. Brown

Ashe Mad Mo iemm For Davis FaHm
CHARLOTTE - Arthur Asne
quickly let It be known here
Sunday, as he emerged victor
In the Davis Cup American
Zone, with Clark Graebner, that
he did not go into play with
any desire to avenge for the
3-2 loss that he suffered In
Ecuador, last year.
He also had little svmpathy
for Ecuadorian complaints a
bout the synthetic grass sur
face on which the matches were
played.
“Os course it’s nice to get
those wins back. You always
like to win, but I don't call it
revenge. That's something you
writers’ make up,” the soft
spoken Virginian declared.
“This surface is not faster
than cement. It’s real slow
compared to cement and I was
surprised that they complained
about it. We thought we were
doing them a favor by playing
it here.
“I’ll tell you something, if
we’d really wanted to rub it in
for revenge, we could just as
easily have scheduled these
matches on cement in Phoenix
or Denver. They have some of
the fastest courts in the world
there.
“They played well and I don't
want to take anything away from
them, but man-for-man, I think
we’re better. I personally feel
that we could have beaten them
on any kind of surface,” Ashe
continued.
Danny Carrera the popular
Ecuadorian captain, agreed.
“The United States will win
this year,” he said simply.
“You team is in better condi
tion and is giving more effort
now. Last year in Ecuador,
they let some of the jobs go.
This year they try for every
shot.
smacked the deciding homer
off Red Sox pitching for the
Tigers first victory of 68.
Brown has six hits to shew in
his first ten pinch hitting ap
pearances, and is showing
shades of his 66 performance
when he went 13-for-40 for a
,325 average with two homers
and nine RSIs.
Gates attributes his success
to deserting the dinner table
and maintaining a weight of
225 pounds. The Tigers and
Gates are moving now.
ASHE
“Spain and England are the
strongest teams in Europe. If
you play either of them it will
be here in this country on jour
own type of courts. If you have
to go over there against either
Russia or Italy, you’ll be play
ing on a different surface, but
you'll still be playing a weak
er team.
“I hope the United States
will win the Davis .Cup. I
don’t think the Australianshave
a chance against your team,”
Carrera finished.
Donald Dell, the business -
like captain of the American
team, thinks ne has a whiner,
too,' but he isn't ready to con
cede that there’s no chance of an
upset along the way- particu
larly if the United States wins
the right to challenge the Aus
sies.
“Anybody who says that Aus
tralian tennis is dead doesn’t
know Harry Hopman (the vet
eran Aussie captain),” Dell
pointed out. “I’m sure he’s
going to recruit Ken Fletcher,
•who is living in Hong Kong,
but still has his Australian ci
tizenship
“But it's certainly nice to
win this match here, 5-0. We
have the momentum now and I
see no reason why we shouldn’t
go all the way. I know that I’m
going to be terribly disappoint
ed if we don’t win. I don’t think
LOOKOUT RALEIGH - The
veteran Ed Charles, once the
terror to National League
pitching found the going rather
tough with the New York
Mets and there were those who
thought that he might be sent
down the river, even as far down
as the Raleigh-Durham Mets.
Gil Hodges, who took over the
prerennial cellar dwellers, did
not give up on him and he is
now hitting his stride. Re
cently he has come up with that
clutch hit that the Shea
Stadium boys needed.
Griffith Choice
At Oakland,Cat
OAKLAND, Calif. - When E
mlle Griffith climbed into the
ring here Tuesday night, in his
battle to regain one of the
crowns that he once held, he
was a 9 to 5 choice to defeat
Andy Heilman. He alleged that
since the fight was postponed
from Friday night, due to Sen
ator Kennedy’s death, might
hurt his chances to be as im
pressive as he has to be to
regain stature in the boxing
world.
Griffith needed a convincing
victory over the rugged Heil
man in a bid for a fourth title
fight with Nion Bevenutl.
Griffith, former welterweight
and middleweight champion,
lost the title to the Italian for
the second time in March.
The fight was originally
scheduled lor Friday night, but
was put off because of the
Death of Sen. Robert F. Ken
nedy.
Griffith who has had experi
ence with delays before, says
they make him uneasy.
**You get to thinking you’ll
be off in some way,” the 30-
year-old fighter from the Vir
gin Islands said. “I’ve got
my fingers crossed this time.”
Griffith points to a 1963 fight
with Luis Rodriguez that was
delayed a week because of rain
and Rodriguez won the decision,
“I was perfect for the fight,”
he said. “The postponement
hurt me.”
Emile’s manager, Gil Clancy,
however, says that postpone
ments haven't always hurt him,
“Look what happened in the
second fight with Benvenuti”
just corning close does you any
good at all.”
Dell had his own explanation
for why the Americans are
playing better this year.
“We had a meeting in Rich
mond back on April 28 and es
tablished certain ground
rules,” he recalled. “One of
them was respect for each other
and the same sort of team spirit
a basketball team has to have.
This is s long season - rough
ly eight months. If we can't
get along with each other we’re
in for trouble from the start.
“The second thtng I told the
guys at Richmond was that I
took this job because I felt that
w inning back the Davis Cup was
one of the most important things
in American sport - more im
portant than for any one of
us to win at Wimbleton or For
one didn’t agree with me, that
was the time to speak up.
“We’ve had no problems of
discipline or personal differ
ences. If we win that cup
back, we all benefit. If we lose,
we're al! burns because we are
representing Z 00,000,000 A
merieans every time we go cm
that court.
Deli said he liked th : e way
the draw put Ashe against Pan
cho Guzman in the opening
match here.
“It put a great deal of pres
ure on Arthur, but he responds
well to pressure and, too, this
meant that he would close out
against their weaker man (Mi
guel Olvera) in case we had
to have the last point.”
Clark Graebner, who won both
of his singles matched and
shared in Saturday night’s
doubles victory, admitted he had
some trouble with Guzman.
“It’s a little bit harder to get
up for a match after your team
Is ahead, 3-0, and besides that,
Guzman hits the heck out of the
ball,” he grinned.
Casanova
Begins To
Hit Stride
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Paul
Casanova, who showed much
promise last year, in his first
season as the Senators first
string catcher, after a slow
start, is beginning to prove
that the prophets were not
wrong.
His know-how behind the plate
has never been questioned and
his pick off throws, to catch
anxious base stealers, have
made him one of the most re
spected receivers in baseball.
His hitting has been off this
year, but he had started to pum -
mell the apple with deftness.
In Sunday’s game he got three
for four, in a game the Sena
tors won by the score of 7-4,
from the Minnesota Twins. This
game set the Minnesota boys
deeper in eight place, in the
American League race. The
local boys are in seventh, 3 1/2
games ahead of the Twins. They
were only one game behind Bth
place New York Monday morn
ing.
Jim Merritt retired the first
two batters in the fourth before
Mike Epstein singled to center
and Paul Casanova and Bernie
Allen blooped hits just out of the
reach of the lnflelders to put
the Senators ahead 2-1.
Coleman doubled and Fred
Clancy said. “Rain put the fight
off for a day. It worked to
our advantage. Emile regained
the title he had lost to Nino
and it was the only one he took
in the series of three.”

Jim Bibby Stifles
Foe With Two Hits
HAMPTON, Va. - The pride
of Franklin County, Jim Bibby,
kept up his winning ways for
the Raleigh - Durham Mets
Saturday night and let the Peni
suia boys down with 2 hits, while
his teammates got eight, for 4
runs. Bibby blanked the Penin
sula nine and brought his rec
ord to 4-2.
The Mets hurler began rath
er slowly, but when Joe Camp
bell hit a home run, Tommy
Campbell and Mike Mitchell hit
successive singles, in the 6th
and pulled a double steal, that
was al! Bibby needed. The
Mets really put the game on
Valentine and Ed Stroud singled
for another run before Bob Mill
