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.
Reliable Pete Pihos caught
two touchdown passes, Bobby
Walston kicked two field goals
and Quarterback Adrian Burk
handled himself admirably in
leading the Eagles to a 27-20 vic
tory over the Chicago Bears
during the week end.
0 The Pittsburg Steelers gained
their first exhibition victory
after two losses by defeating the
Green Bay Packers, 16-14, on
Art Michalick's 14-yard field
goal in the final minute of play.
Pat Summerall's 27-yard field
gpal with 18 seconds left to play
earned the Chicago Cardinals a
17-16 triumph over the Detroit
Lions. 1

TOURNEY PREPARATIONS
Portland (U.R)-r-B. E. (Gene)
Martin, executive - secretary of
the Amateur Softball associa
tion of America, flew to Port
land yesterday to make prepa
rations for the Women's World
Softball championships, which
begin Friday at Normandale
park- ..
variety is to glance a half game
behind them.
The Rainiers, apparently con
vinced that the path to the pen
nant was all downhill from now
on, came a cropper in Angelville,
losing four out of four to the
Los Angeles club, climaxed by
a double loss yesterday 6-5 and
2-1.
Meanwhile the Hollywood
Stars clubbed out 6-2 and 3-0
victories over San Diego to move
to within a half length of the
lead.
Oaks Find Power
San Diego might have dropped
back a notch, but for the fact
that Oakland found a little pow
er down in the loop basement
and staggered upstairs to rock
Portland 6-4 and 5-2.
Sacramento cooperated with
Oakland by knocking San Fran
cisco down 6-0 in the first game
but then cooperated with San
Francisco and lost the second
one by a shutout 3-0 to leave the
Seals a half game out of the
cellar. .
Oakland crashed through with
four runs in the seventh to nul
lify a pair of two-run home runs
by pick Whitman and Luis
Marquez and give victory to
Brooks Lawrence.
Then in the second game a
three-run Oakland fourth ac
complished the same for Duane
Pillette.
San Francisco and Sacramento
swapped shutouts. Marino Pier
etti hurled a four-hit one in the
first game to blank the Seals
and Don Fracchia whitewashed
Sacramento 3-0 orf seven blows
in the nightcap.
Nippy Jones drove in three
runs with three singles in the
first one and Dave Melton hit
his 14th homer for the Seals in
the second.
Rams Win
In Overtime
Portland, Ore. (U.R) The
Los Angeles Rams butted and
battered their way to a 2317
triumph over the New York
Giants last night but not before
the two teams locked horns in
an overtime play-off.
At the end of the fourth quar
ter of the exhibition game the
Rams and Giants were deadlock
ed 17-17.
It took the Los Angelinos 11
extra minutes to march 70 yards
and set up the off left-tackle
charge by Tank Younger from
the two which sealed the Giants'
fate.
The teams agreed prior to the
game to experiment with the
"sudden death" playoff, in event
the regulation game ended in a
tie.
