SSA N~Js
 When MT Beasley, standing on the deck of the s. s. Paris, took the blame for the blow-up Of the United States Davis cup team in the interzone final with England, he shattered all tennis precedents. His admission of guilt brought gasps of amazement from the tennis writers who went down to greet and interrogate him. Not even the oldest old-timer (the one who remembers when a handlebar mustache was almost as essential to court success as a good fore- hand) could recall such a frank admission. .4
 He's Different e.,
 MT Beasley's statement was in direct opposition to the tennis code, which, as you know, calls for A blanket excuse in case of defeat. By blanket excuse, mean one which includes everything from faulty food to an atmospheric dis turbance over Uruguay. None of this sort of business for brother Beasley.
 "I'n take the rap so far as the coa ching affected the result" said inc father of the Beasley pro- gram" system of tennis, which many thought would bring the cup across the Atlantic. Vines ana Al lison followed my instructions m practice, but not in competitlon' That was my fault, however, pe- cause I failed to give them the stuff to stand up under fire.
 Beasley then went on to explain what he thought licked Vines.
 Cockincss Whipped Vines
 "Over-confidence and 100 per cent cockiness whipped Ely. He refused to consider Bunny Austin as anything but a set-up.. Even after Austin had taken the nrst two sets, Ely continued to play with a nonchalance that made many of the French spectators, who are accustomed to see cup players battle with all they've got wonder if the heat hadn't gotten him. Anybody that has ever seen Vines play his real game knows that Austin, even at his peak, mas no business even coming close to beating him. But I'll take the blame TOT, HIS S1lOWAhSS hoWS'SA' should have driven that non sensical idea of Austin being a pushover out of his head"
 George ("Nevrr Will 1-Be-a- Tennis Bump Lott is MT Beasleyf idea of a real cup player.
 Lott Lauded
 "There's a fighter for you, thai Lott, MT Beasley said. "Ths tougher things get the tougher he gets. I'll never forget his play 1T the doubles. Knowing that defeal would end our chance then and there he stepped out on the court called out to Johnny Van Ryni Lets polish these boys off," ant procede edto do just htat. He wal the man to throw in there agains Perry after Austin had crushed Vines. Placing the burden on hi, shoulders wouldn't have worried Lott. He would have enjoyed 1t The situation would have lifted his game to a new peak"
 So saying, MT Beasley ducket below for glass of beer. He wal closely pursued.
