The said that in the future the Guys and the gals who ski their Fame to create their fortunes. To the various National federations give permission the skier san Sable to take Money for endorsing skis boots parkas poles Ouier tools of their Trade. They May also accept Cash for exe press and to features. However they May not ski for Cash prizes nor May they accept appearance Money for being on hand tha Fis president explained the move As evolutionary not he explains that it has become an accepted dirt that ski racers Are now full time sportsmen who simply have m time left Over for making Money and that they must be reimbursed for their loss of income. Ito Rowins from the Tennis moguls the Fis will create one will be the authorized pro and the other will be the True Amateur who accepts no Money at All do or die series headline action in com a 4th army on the Fis circuit accept the Opportunity to Cash to during the next three years it could be that com eng nations will be left with Only second class Talent for the names in Japan. However it May be that the Best of the euro is who have been doing pretty Well under the old rules any c might hold off turning officially pro until after the olympics where a win could put them in a position to really Cash in. Tennis hot War meanwhile in Tennis the Davis cup nations have decided As expected that professionals will not be allowed to compete for " is that trophy. However they also decided that registered players May represent their countries in play for the cup. This virtually Means that any Amateur Tennis player can accept Money in an open tournament As Long As he has the backing of his National International Lawn Tennis federation Ilyf gave the National associations the right to Register players who accept sufi prize Money in Ilyf sanctioned open meets but who do not make their Money on the pro tour or As teaching professionals. So far no Amateur player has been nominated As a registered player with the Ilyf. But both Britain and the Netherlands have allowed such top amateurs As Mark Cox and Tom Okker to accept Money in open tournaments. Many of the other countries have held off from registering play ers until they were assured it would not affect the players rights to take part in Davis cup play. The motion As proposed by australian la chief Cliff Edwards and passed by the cup nations at their meeting makes it Clear that registered players will be welcomed in Davis cup Competition. It says any Lawn Tennis player who is not and has never been a professional and who accepts the authority of and is in Good standing with his National association in accordance with Ilyf rules shall be qualified to represent a nation at to me that Resolution Means that the Ilyf like the Fis has decided that most of the Amateur athletes in the world have to have some Way of making a living while they engage in the Ilyf has gone further. With the above Resolution the Ilyf has declared open War on the professional Tennis at some of the phrases when pulled out never been a professional accepts the authority of in accordance with i1lfrules." in other words. In other words the Ilyf wants to regain the stranglehold it Heldon world Tennis until promoters such As Jack Kramer began luring toe big name stars away with Multi thousand Dollar guarantees. Itcan offer the players the prestige of playing in world renown events like the Davis cup Wimbledon the National championship sat Forest Hills Etc. Up until now however it could t offer the Cash that the pros were with their open tournaments and registered players it has found a Way around the Cash stumbling Block and is in position to drive the professional promoters to the Wall. It the Ilyf draws up the list of open tournaments for a Yearin which amateurs will be allowed to compete against pros for prize Money. So far these have been established tourneys sponsored by National associations. Then the players have to be registered by we National association before they can compete for the Cash Bayou can see that the phrase in accordance with Ilyf rules weans that they can Only play for Cash when and where big daddy deems it by increasing the number of open events allowed the Ilyf can make the amount of prize Money available to a registered Amateur Large enough so that he or she will not have to turn pro to make a i pile. But they can freeze the pros a Case in Point is a 148,000 indoor tournament that promoter Kramer Hopes to stage 111 England this year. He is offering Ai Flat prize of $12,000 which he claims will be the biggest in Tennis i " Story.
