BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. o.
Tennis records that date back as
long as 80 years prove that when
ever Australians gain the national
doubles titles, their nation wins
the highly priced Davis Cup.
That happened back in 1919,
when Norman Brooks and Gerald
Patterson won at LongWood. 1t
also was true in 1899. when Jack
Bromwich and Adrian Quist de-
feated Jack Crawford and Harry
Hopman in an all-Australian ma
tional doubles windup here at
Longwood.
Bromwich and Billy Sidwell
gained the 1949 national doubles
crowns yesterday by defeating
their countrymen, Frank Sedg-
man and George Worthington,
Ga, 60, 6-1.
And while the victorious Aussies
were playing under wraps, the
members of the United States
Davis Cup team and their ad-
visory board saw little that en-

Tribe Lineup Picked,
But Coach Won't Say
II Will Beat Rams
By Lewis f. Atchison
exe.ff

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22.-Billick
Whelchel, coach of the Washing
ton Redskins, today named
starting lineup for Fridays game
with the Los Angeles Rams, but
he wouldn't promise a winner.
We're not ready" he said
Were in good condition. but ]
won't know how good these boys
are until we've played a few games
and polished off the rough spots.
No matter what happens-even
if we win-I can tell you now we
aren't ready"
The lineup is subject to change
and already Tackle John Konis-
zewski apparently has been ruled
out. Troubled two years by a
nerve in his shoulder, memento
of war service in the Marine
Corps, Koniszewski's football ca
reer may be at an end. He was
to consult specialist today. but
Whelchel said he thinks John is
not long for this team" and DR..
Alexandra Castro. team physician,
confirmed that viewpoint.
Didn't Bank on Koniszewski.
Certainly KoniSzewski's loss
would be serious, but not neces-
sarily fatal to the Redskins
chances for an improved record
this year. He missed much of the
rough stuff because Of his shoul-
der, and Whelchel apparently
dealt him out of his plans long
before this.
Defensively the new Redskin
coach will count on Sam Gold
man and Jim PEBBLES to keep the
Rams flock of fleet backs from
running outside. If they try the
middle he figures they'll have to
show explosive driving power to
bulge John Adams, Bob Hendren,
John Badisczewski or Laurie
Niemi.

Dowda. Ed Quirk, Howie Living
ston. all good defensive backs, will
carry the brunt of the secondary
work. Everybody but Sam Baugh
and Harry Gilmer probably will
be used before the evening is
over.
Baugh Named to Start.
Whelchel has named a back
field comprising Baugh. Eddie
Saenz. Sandifer and Quirk to
start the game. The line will have
Hal Crisler and Joe Tereshinski
at ends, Mike Roussos and Adams
at tackles, John Steber and Mike
Katrishen at guards and Al De-
mao at center. But We may
change that around. depending
on the position of the ball when
we get possession" he continued.
