Crow played consistently good football, but the Texas blockers were never able to give him the running room he needed to turn the game into more than a heroic defensive battle. Gordon, who was voted the game's "most valuable player" by writers in the press box, al most fumbled himself into the "goat" role in the third period.

Remarkable Recovery It was a remarkable recovery for the doughty Yanks but it only served to reduce Australia's winning margin to 3-8 the best-of-five series. Seixas and Mac Kay dropped their opening sin gles matches Thursday and then allowed the cup to slip from their grasp when the Aussies clinched matters in Friday's dou bles match. So Saturday's matches were supposed to be "just for fun," but both Seixas and MacKay played as if their very lives were at stake. Seixas, now 34 and a seven- year veteran of the Davis Cup wars, boldly predicted "I'm go ing out there and get Anderson" before taking the court at Koo yorjjg stadium. Last Appearance "Win or lose, this is my last Davis Cup appearance," the dour fighter from Philadelphia added. I've got a good job waiting for me when I returnoto the United States next week." Th-i MacKay - Cooper set - to produced a record for it marked the first time in cup history that all four singles matches were extended to five sets. The re suit also convinced Australian fans that in MacKay the U.S. now has a young man that will have to be reckoned with in future cup action. The gangling giant from Day ton, Ohio, turned the tables on heavily-favored Cooper in a 91 minute power duel that featured crashing deliveries. In fact. Cooper broke his racquet strings while matching MacKay's blis tering stroking in the third set.
