cisco. by 3-6, 60. rs, 3-6. SIS,
developed the best tennis of the tourna-
ment thus far. Murray was a slight
favorite, and for four sets and part OF
the fifth he fought brilliantly.
Behr Rallies at End.
Then the so-called silent" member
Of the Davis cup team began to rally.
and although he lost his service in a
ethical game. soon squared the match
and finally pulled out the set after four
teen games had been played. Behr
seemed to anticipate many Of Murray's
shots.
The play from start to finish was
sharp, and returns were remarkable.

o"ed a wide area. He was FAR more ex-
l1usted than Behr at the close.

On the snow draped summit OF the

the international boundary between
Austria and Italy. Hating his

hand the guard the papers which
had authorized him to travel by auto

After a moment, they were abb
ruptly informed by an Austrian ON

no more motor cars might cross the

down the Austrian side.
