Australians Sweep Davis Cup Series Forest Hills, N.Y. (U.R) Aus tralia won the Davis Cud with a 5-0 shutout and threatened to day to snatch another bit of hard ware from America's tennis showcase by winning the U.S men's singles crown in a 10-day grind beginning Friday. Ken Rosewall, Lew Hoad and Rex Hartwig, a trio of "whiz kids" whose sensational play produced the worst American de feat in 20 years of Davis Cup play, were one-two-three on the list of favorites for the next big show at Forestalls. AH three looked tremendous as they completed a three-day sweep in the Davis Cup chal lenge round Sunday and re gained the trophy they surren riprpd onlv last December to lny Trabert and Vic Seixas of Philadelphia. Hoad In Top Form Hoad walloped Trabert In four sets on the first day and tripped Seixas in four Sunday. Rosewall bowled over Seixas in four sets on the first day and de cfeated Ham Richardson of Baton Rouge, La., a substitute for Tra bert, in the four set wind-up. In between, Hoad paired with Hart wig to score the clinching victory in a five set doubles match against Seixas and Trabert on Saturday Except to prove they could win even when the pressure was off, Sunday's matches proved little. Hoad lost a set to Seixas, who had beaten him eight of 10 previous matches, tout rallied to make it a rout, 7-9, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. Then Rosewall trounced Richard son; 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, to complete a 5-0 score for the Aussies. Between the triumphs by Hoad and Rosewall, Vice - President Richfrd Nixon presented the massive silver bowl to Hopman and the Australian team. There were friendly speeches all around but none on the Amer ican side could hide their dis appointment at the lopsided de feat Rookies Aid eSF Victory San Francisco (U.R) They called it "Joe Perry Day" in Kezar Stadium yesterday, but Joe the Jet had to share playing honors with a pair of rookies and a veteran lineman. Perry, the only man in Na tional Football League history to gain 1000 yards rushing in two successive seasons, ground out 116 yards in 20 carries and turned in an all-around stellar performance as he captained the San Francisco Forty Niners to atil7-14 victory over the world champion Cleveland Browns. ,jBut equally effective against tlfe visitors were the perform ances of rookies George Maderos and Carroll Hardy and veteran Marion Campbell. Coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland squad praised Perry. But he quickly conceded that it was the defensive linework of Campbell that really bottled up the Cleveland attacK. The fine running of Maderos and Hardy put San Francisco in position for its two touchdowns. Campbell and Lineman Bob Toneff completely smothered the Cleveland attack through the three periods while the Forty Niners ran up a 17-0 lead on a, field goal and two touchdowns. Eagles Top Bears 27-20 ' By UNITED PRESS The Philadelphia Eagles, East ern Division kingpins of the Na tional Football League until the Cleveland Browns moved over . from the. defunct All-America Conference, appear ready to make the move back to the top this season.
