(T) Aus tralia's seasoned and hitherto favor ed tennla forces look to be no bet ter than an even choice against ths United States in the Davis cup matches starting this Saturday, nt Forest Hills. The Auasies rely largely upon greater International experience in their drive to repeat laat year'a 3-3 victory, but the sensational singles form of Callfornls'a Don Budge, cou pled with the slow recovery of Adrian Qutst, Anzac ace, from a mild at tack of Intestinal "flu," has altered the outlook. The Americans may go to the post aa favorltce if Qulst falls to shake off the ailment. The Australians had decided a week ngo to assign the entire task to Qulst and the veteran Jack Crawford, for mer world champion. Crawford gain ed the No. 2 alngles berth after Vivian McOrath caught a bad cold In Mexico and lost considerable weight. Mc Orath still la bothered by blistered hands but he looked good yesterday In a doublea workout with Crawford, and may share this assfgnment In the cup test.
