.Looks Sharp
ADELAIDE. Australia, in Am
rrlcan ho)e.i of recapturing the
uavia cup got a big lift Saturday
when Tony Traberl, the power
atroklng eallor on leave, tipped
through one of his most Impiesalve
workniA.i.
Trabert whose tennis got bit
ru.sty during Navy Wuty, will team
with Vic Srlxaa, the U.S. captain,
agalnat Australia's Frank Srdgman
and Ken McGregor In the challenge
round, opening Monday.
Aussie officials have virtually
agreed to give McGregor the nod
over left-handed Mervyn Rose, who
loat hla two single to- the Ameri
cans last year. This means thr
Davla Cup final battle will be
atrictly a Iniir-man affair.
If any doubt remained about
Roae, It was removed Saturday
when the lefthander developed a
aore throat and eaVacha and misted
the Auaalea' final practice.
The Americans have young Ham
Richardson and Straight Clark, for
reserve use, but neither Is ex
pected lo see action.
The draw la scheduled Sunday
at 11 a. m., Adelaide time (6:30
