Rod Laver and Ashe Favored In River Oaks Tennis Tourney
Top seeds Rod Laver and Arthur Ashe survived a rare double fault to stay alive in the $50,000 River Oaks Tennis Tournament in Houston. Official word delayed Laver and Ashe matches after they failed to play opening day due to prior appearances. Riessen and Taylor advanced in earlier rounds while Pasarell and Pilic won matches. Froehling and Dent defaulted after car crash injuries, with Froehling's default affecting Maud and Stilwell advancing.
