Lewis Hoad and Ken Rosewall,
both 17-years-old - their COM
bined ages don't add up to Null
loys SO years-took everything
the Americans could offer, and
went on to win the third round
match, Ga, 816, Is, a6, IS.

and Ken McGregor. champions of

the only other American team in
the tournament-Herb Flam and

Two Americans Advance.
These two matches, played in
92-degree heat, stole the spotlight
from the women, who filled out
their quarter final bracket. Two
Americans, Louise Brough of Bev-I
erly Hills, Calf. and Shirley Fry
Of Akron. Ohio, gained the round.
Miss Brough. many times the
winner of this tournament. beat
Mrs. Nelly Adamson of France.
1-6. 6-1, 6-2, and Miss Fry
whipped Michele Bourbonnais of
France, Ga. 60. They were
joined by Jean Walker-Smith of
England, who stopped George
Woodgate of England, 6-1, 6-1.
and Mrs. Jean Rinkel-Quertier of
England who eliminated Mrs.
Peggy Dawson Scott Of England.
6-1, 6-2.
Hoad and Roosevelt. in the first
year they have shown their
talents outside Australia, amazed
the packed stadium. In the last
set, the experienced Americans
were at match point, but the
youngsters just played on as
though it were the first point OF
an exhibition match.
Finally, Mulloy lost his service
on the 11th game. Hoad held his
own on the 18th for the match.
When the tired Mulloy drove
Hoad's shot past the baseline for
the final point, the crowd let
loose a tremendous roar. They
knew they had seen a new doubles
team that would make Australia
q power for years to come.
Mulloy Suffers From Heat.
Mulloy, who has been suffering
from the heat for the last two
days, was the weak link in the
American combination. Savitt, the
defending champion in the singles
here, held him up almost all the
way. However, both seemed to be
playing at half speed through the
first two sets.
The Americans settled down to
business in the next two sets,
clicking off the third in IL minutes
and the fourth in 18 while losing
only four games. :.
But the Aussies we're ready for
the decider. Savitt and Mulloy
built up a 40-30 lead the 10th
game. But Mulloy slapped one out
side the court. and the Aussies won
after deuce. That set them up to
break Mulloy's delivery in the 18th
game.
Hoad's service and return were
especially brilliant and he was the
big man of the pair when it came
to putting the ball away. Rose
wall, a fine retriever. drove the
Americans back on the defense
and then Hoad would come in
for the point winner.
Flam and Larsen Tricky
They were a great deal more
impressive than Sedgman and
McGregor. This tried and true
combination frequently looked
like pair of novices against the
tricky tactics of Flam and Larsen.
Sedgman did almost all the
constructive work and it often
seemed that he could have fin
lshed the match sooner If Nc
Gregor had sat on the sidelines.
Miss Brough, who has been
getting beaten regularly for the
past year. had a hard time at the
start against Mrs. Adamson. She
could do nothing right in the first
set. but pulled her games together
in the second and once she found
the range, Mrs. Adamson could
throw up no resistance.
Miss Fry also started slowly
and made numerous errors in the
long volleys. But she. too, got
going toward the end Of the first
set and after that Miss Bourbon
nais showed nothing more than a
flashing smile and frock with a
Paris look.
