F|dnl and Seixas
Definite Starters
In Cup Singles

ADELAIDE, Australia. Dec. "a
(P.- Herbie Flam and Vic
Seixas deflnetly will represent
the United States in the Davis
Cup singles when the challenge
round begins Wednesday, Coach
Bill Talbert said today.
The draw for the 45th renewal
will be held tomorrow. Cup play
begins Wednesday afternoon
and ends Friday.
After watching Flam whip
through a stiff practice session
against Tony Trabert. the pro
star, Talbert said there was no
doubt in his mind about Flam's
ability to go the distance against
either Lew Hoad or Ken Rose
wall.
There never was any doubt
as far as I was concerned" Tai
bert said. Herb was favoring
his leg yesterday only because
he did not want to hurt it. But
he looked fine today and / could
not be happier about him or
Seixas."
Flam's service this afternoon
tipped across the net and he
seemed to be hitting the ball
with more authority and power
than he has since practice seS-
sionS started here last week.
No Leg Trouble
Some question had arisen yes
terday when Flam came back
from a workout and asked to
have his leg treated by the team
trainer. But he said his leg is
now fine and he has no COM
plants.
Trabert said the spirit and
drive shown by both Seixas and
Flam was absolutely great
IF they go at today's pace
during the cup play. they could
give the Aussies trouble" he
said.
/ Over in the Australian camp,
Coach Harry Hopman has his
boys razor sharp. Tennis ex-
lperts say Hoad is playing better
and hitting the ball harder than
he has in recent weeks.
Hoad and Rosewall are ex-
pected to lead Australia to its
second straight SO victory over
the United States.
The challenge round competi-
Ition between the two countries
dates back to 1908. Each coun-
try has won 10 times in the show
down for the coveted cup.

Rosewall is believed ready to
