fall, he just started wandering

The first couple of rounds were

about four punches in the two
periods.
In the third, Wright gathered
his courage and landed a left

Will Sweep Aussies
In Davis Cup Play
BY the Assoeiated Pres.

PALM SPRINGS, Calf, Oct. 80.
Don Bulge, the tennis veteran,
predicted rather cautiously today
that the United States Davis Cup
squad would score a clean sweep
over Australia.
Bulge, who is helping whip the
team into condition here prior to
its departure November 3, has it
figured this way:
II think both of our singles men
would win against Ken McGregor
|of Australia. After Tony Trabert
and Ted Schroeder play a little
more together they should have
Ia $3.50 chance against McGregor
and Frank Sedgman in doubles.
"Dick Savitt, I believe, will beat
|Sedgman in singles. His powerful
ground strokes make it difficult
for Sedgman to reach the net. And
Dick can score a good percentage
of passing shots if Frank does get
1up there.
That leaves the other singles.
Undoubtedly either Schroeder or
Trabert will play it. Either would
have to be given a good chance
against Sedgman."
