MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec.
11.-America's Davis Cup players
and the rival Swedes took turns
practicing today on Kooyong
Stadium's center court in prepara-
ton for the inter-zone tennis
final, starting Thursday.
Australian critics remained very
puzzled at the selection of Ted

play in the singles against the
European zone champions.
Most of them seemed to think
Frank Shields. captain of the
American team, is INDUCING in
some deep strategy designed to
confuse the Australian players in

Shields himself obviously was
enjoying the situation immensely

who tried to probe his mind.

For what it's worth, this OBJ

the American captain was given
instructions to play the veteran
Schroeder against the Swedes in
both singles and doubles before
the team ever left the States.
Ted'S ability to lift his game
for a single big match and his
fighting heart still are respected
in official American circles. What
they want to find out before the
