College Station, Texas Wednesday, December 13, 1972 TWF RATTAI IOK1 Page 8 Soviet Tennis Ace Metreveli Joins Pro Tour UP) News Analysis A Soviet tennis ace is joining an American-operated profession al tour “strictly as an amateur,” and if you’re a true believer in the Communist way, that makes sense. To the surprise of millions, probably including millions of Russians, Alex Metreveli, a 28- year-old star, will join one of two troupes opening the season in January under the egis of World Chamnionship Tennis Inc. of Dal las. Mike Davies, executive director of WCT, says that Metreveli will be paid any prize money he earns, and Davies couldn’t care less what happens to the cash thereafter. All this encourages some intrigu ing speculation. Have the Russians been unable to resist the pleasant whiff of money from abroad ? There was that highly exploited world cham pionship chess match between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer for a whole lot of marbles, and there was that recent Team Can ada-Soviet hockey series with its promise of lucrative games yet to come against other teams. Are the Russians about to ex pand a promising source of for eign exchange ? Who knows what could develop ? After chess shak- hmat and hockey Khokkei and now the tennis players tennisti who knows but that some day it might be soccer futbol, basketball besketbol and even baseball bez- bol ? If all this happens, none of the Soviet participants will be re garded as pros. In the time-hon ored phrase of Pravda, “it is well known” that there are no profes sional athletes in the Soviet Un ion. They are all pure amateurs whose prowess can be attributed to proper “Communist education” and considered proof of the su periority of the Soviet system and the “new Soviet man.” Soviet athletes surprised even themselves with their perform ances at the Olympic Games in Mu nich, which included winning their first gold medal ever in basketball. An analysis of the Olympic showing by Radio Liberty dis closed that 162 members of So viet teams were from army and navy sports clubs directly under control and supervision of DOS- AAF, the initials for an organi zation dedicated to cooperating with the army, navy and air force. DOSAAF is run by an army general. It has the combined function of selecting and training Soviet athletes. It just happens that any So viet athlete of any importance will have been developed and trained at the expense of the state while living high on the Soviet hog and assigned to some snap of a job that won’t occupy much of his or her time. These “amateurs” are pampered and privileged in comparison with or dinary Soviet mortals.
