Yankees and Aussies
Poised 10 Struggle
For Davis Cup
Men From Down Under
Fear War May Halt
Their Net Careers
BY the Associated Press.


HAVERFORD. Pa. Sept. with
the world tumbling toward war, six
young men in tennis togs stood
poised today for a bloodless battle
a contest between two nations at
peace for a big silver bowl.
On white-striped grass instead of
she'll -pocked battlefield, they will vie
for the Davis Cup-historic symbol
of international tennis supremacy
in matches beginning tomorrow at
the Merton Cricket Club.
Representatives of the United
States, the defenders. and Australia
the challengers, drew today for
match pairings in an atmosphere
that mirrored the baleful events in
Europe.
Subject to Army Call.
The favored Australians wondered
whether these court contests would
be their last games for long time
Harry Hopman, blond. non-playing
captain of the challengers, said
plans to continue their tennis tours
this year would be changed "if war
should break out"
Both Adrian Quist and myself
are members of the 9Th Battalion in
the army and We probably would
be called home Immediately" he
said.
Haven't Won in 20 Years.
Quist and ambidextrous John
Bromwich seek to take the cup to
Australia for the first time in 20
years. America is represented by
four youths whose ages average less
than 21-Bobby Riggs, the VIM
bledon champion; frankie Parker,
Joe Hunt and Jack Kramer.
Hopman and United States Capt.
Walter Pate agreed yesterday on
match rules. Most significant was
a decision that no foot fault warnings
would be issued. At crucial point
in last years challenge round. Quist
was penalized so repeatedly for foot
faults that his game virtually COL
lapsed.

Liberal Feeding In Winter
Is Essential For Turkeys

Breeding turkeys lose weight stead
lily during the laying season but they
can stand this loss if they are fed
literally through the winter so they
will be in prime condition when the
laying season starts, according to
Wade H. Rice, Poultry Specialist for
the University of Maryland Extension
Service. t
He points out also that most poul-
trymen select young hens and young
toms from the spring flock to hold
over as breeders and only by liberal
feeding will they reach full growth by
the time the laying season starts.
Rice calls attention to breeding
flock feeding studies by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Under or
binary winter conditions in all but
the northernmost sections of the
United States, with some green feed
such as hay and plenty Of sunshine,
it was found that breeding birds kept
in good condition if they had all they
wanted of good growing mash, the
same as fed for finishing holiday
market birds, together with scratch
grain, plenty of water and gravel or
some other insoluble grit.
A recommended mash is: Bran, IL
parts; middlings, IL parts; ground
oats, IL parts; ground yellow corn,
33 parts; alfalfa leaf meal, 6 parts;
meat scraps, Is parts; dried milk, 10
parts, and salt, l part. This ration,
together with scratch grain, water
and grit, should be continued at least
