Tennis Scoring Changes Wanted
New York AP reports Owen Williams urges elimination of grass courts and the traditional scoring to boost tennis entertainment value. He forecasts a 1970 U S Open with a 250000 dollar purse and 1 million gross if changes occur, noting current attendance and receipts and proposing a no-break scoring system akin to ping pong. Williams warns the USLTA may seek another stadium if talks with Forest Hills stall.
