.BROMWICH AND QUIST EXPECTED
 TO TEAM AGAIN
BY FRANCIS MCCARTHY United Press War Correspondent Allied Headquarters, New Guinea


 Allied Headquarters, New Guinea CUP)-War problems continue Australias main source of worry these days, but in sports circles Down Under" discussion has al ready started on who stands where in the line for selection to defend the Davis Cup for the common wealth.
 Harry Hopman, veteran for many years of international tennis com- petition, who is now a sports writer. believes that John Bromwich and drian Quist, in the combine which wrested the coveted net trophy from the United States at Philadel- phia in 1889, will be the nucleus of the new team, with some promis- ing youngsters to boot.
 Writing for Wings official publication of the RAAF., Hop man expressed the opinion that Bromwich. 26 this year, and Quist, now 31, still stand far ahead of all others in Australia.
 Although it was five years in OeDUbIlDcI fAuRoJl lAAh pN' cess and it may be seven years be- fore we are called upon to defend the Cup. I think that these two will be the nucleus of our team Hop man said.
 BrOmwich Over Injury
 Bromwich, Hopman reports, re- ceived a slight hand injury and contracted malaria in New Guinea, but he has now completely recovered from both and is fit and keen to return in big time tennis.
 T think Bromwich will be our No. 1 man and I anticipate he will play equally as well as preWar. and maybe show an improvement on past best" Hopman predicted.
 Hopman doesn't think that Ouist's age will be any bar to his selection as an australian Cup de- fender. He pointed out that it may be impossible to give any new conner of international competition caliber sufficient match play ex- perience to challenge Quist's right to perform again for his country.
 Quist, it will be recalled, per- formed for Australia in seven suc- cessive Davis Cup trips from 1883 Hopman wrote that Quist always has kept in good condition.
 Young Prospects Seen
 Twenty three -year-old Dinny Plls of Sydney, Australias last junior champion, even in 1940 Davis Cup prospect, is Hopmans choice for the next Aussie team to en- gage in tournaments abroad.
 If a challenge is made for the Cup before we have a season of oui own major tournaments, DinnyS chances of gaining selection as a playing member of the defending team will fade" Hopman warned.
 Other promising youngsters III Hopman's opinion, include Bon Barnes, now sub-lieutenant in the Australian Navy, who was junior champion of New South Wales n 194l, and Geoff Brown, 20, also in the service, whose style Hopmar compares to that of BromWich.
 Twenty-three- -year-old Ted Rad ford of Victoria, victim of the para lysis epidemic of 1918, now has fully recovered, Hopman said, and makes another prospect.
 Like others of his age, however, Radford lacks big tournament eX- perience.
