Tilden nets top honor
NEW YORK (UPI) — Big Bill Tilden. No. 1 tennis player in his time, Monday was voted No. 1 of all-time.

Bowl payoff biggest ever
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) — Officials of the 11th annual Liberty Bowl Monday promised a record payoff to Colorado and Alabama.
States, England, France and Australia picked Tilden over Don Budge, Rod Laver, Pancho Gonzalez and Jack Kramer in a survey made more than 16 years after Tilden's death at the age of 60.
"This will be an all-time Liberty Bowl record," said executive director Bud Dudley. He said each school would receive $155,000 to $160,000 for the game which ended in a 47-33 victory for Colorado Saturday.
Sunny skies and mild temperatures helped bring a near-capacity crowd of 50.042 into the stadium for the nationally televised game.
The same jury recently named Laver as winner of the Martini and Rossi Player of the Year Award for the second straight time.
Tilden, a magnetic star who dominated amateur tennis in the 1920's and started the pros on the road to big money in the 1930's, rated No. 1 on seven ballots and second on four others.
Budge, first to score a grand slam of the Australian, Wimbledon, French and United States championships in 1938, was second with 103 points and the 31-year-old Laver, current king of the courts, was No. 3 with 96 points.

NEW YORK (UPI — Kentucky and UCLA, a pair of perennial powerhouses, are running virtually neck and neck in the race for recognition as the nation's No.1 college basketball team.
