FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept.
3.-Donald Dell of Bethesda.
Md. today played the match of
his promising career in the Ma
Itional tennis singles champions
ships. He went down TO defeat
against the Australian star, Ken
Rosewall, but in doing so Don
covered himself with glory and
brought forth predictions by
knowing onlookers of future
Davis Cup possibilities.
Rosewall beat the former Ma
ltional Boys champion. Ga.
Ga, Ga, but had toattend
strictly to business to do it.
This has been a disappointing
year for Dell. and his compare
lively poor performances were
traced directly to his service.
Today the Edgemoor Club star
served with power and daring,
and the result was a bolstering
| of his whole game. His volleys.
particularly on the backhand,
were decisive, and his overhead
was devastating from every part
of the court.
In the opening set, Rosewall
started as though this was rou-
tine first-round match. He broke
through Don's first two deliv-
cries to take a 40 lead. Then
Dell caught fire and took the
next three games in a row. Dur
ling this run he followed the pat
tern of his later play. On service
Don followed both deliveries to
tthe barrier. where he volleyed
! the Australians drives or banged
| the lobs for points. On Rose
walls service he drove deep and
came to the net whenever pos
sible, a difficult thing to do
against such a sharpshooter.
COss Among Winners
ROsewall then held service to
take the set at Ga. The next
two sets went the same path.
IRosewall and Dell held their de-
Iliveries until 4-all. when in each
icase the AusSe broke Dell's serv-
lice.
/ Tim Coss, Middle Atlantic
champion from Washington. and
Hal Burrows of Charlottesville,
IVA, won their respective con-
TESTS. the former with difficulty
and the latter easily. Coss beat
Ben Sobieraj of Jacksonville.

rows won from William j.
iClothier. II. of Philadelphia,
16-3, 6-1, 60.

/ Whitney Reed of Alameda,
Calf, who won the Air Force

young Miss McCord bowed to

champion, 6-l, 60.
Brings Roar From Crowd
Miss McCord only got one
game from Miss Brough. BuI
that is not fair estimate OF
her play. particularly in the first
set. The 17-year-old Woodrow
Wilson High School graduate
started off so well she aroused
the Wimbledon champion to beal
down for the rest of the match
Getting her sharp first service
lin, Carol astonished Miss Brougf
and brought roars from the
igrandstand gallery by forcing hei
pponent into errors. She
brought the first game to ar
end with a sizzling service ace
! Quickly dubbed "Cute Carol
by the gallery, the No. l Middle
Atlantic girl star traded drives
; throughout the rest of the sci
with the second-seeded player
Carols game dropped off in the
second set, and she failed te
score as Miss Brough kept the
pressure on to the end.
