Today’s Sport Panich* * By Henry McLsmors ♦ 1 —- -« 4 Haverford. I’a . Sept 5.— <U.R) - As two young Australians stood on th* center court of th* Merlon cricket dub yesterday and with enraptured faces received th< Davis <up. which they had won by heating th* beat that th* Vnlled States could produce In the challenge round. It was difficult not tn recall 25 years back when a similar acene was presented. Just a quarter of a century ago. Australia won th* Davis cup from another country for the laat time, and. on that occasion two other youngsters named Norman Brooke* and Anthony Wilding received the international trophy with beaming smiles and broad grins Then they marched away to war. from which Tony Wilding never returned. In a few brief days Jach Bromwich and Adrian Quist also will sail for that part of ths world where another war rages They received their sailing od*ra from the Australian war office leas than an hour after their moment of triumph. On Sept 13 they will sail from lam Angeles on the S. S. Monterey and the next game they play will be one In which guns volley and thunder Hut Quist .th* elder of th* two Australian players, waa well aware of th* probable fate that awaited him even as h* took the court. After h* had beaten Bobby Riggs In the match which to all intents and purpose* sealed Australia's victory. he told hi* friends of hi* * mot km. "I want to take a gbod look at that cup.'' he said. “for It may be the laat time I ever shall see It. It may aound trite but I have a premonition that histoiy la going to repeat Itself. I've felt that ail day Wilding won th* decisive match 25 years ago and wan the first to die I won it today because we all knew that Bromwich would beat Parker. You understand what I mean. Don't you!’ Everyone did and that probably accounts for th* thund*roua applause that went up when the Australians won. I don't believe there was a person present iu th* big crowd who would hav* want*d to see the Australian* sail away In defeat. It Is a sad journey they ar* making even in victory. As for the cup Itself, the better team won. One Is almost tempted to say th* gamer team. Since the trophy was placed in compel It km In 1*0" it was the first time that any team ever lost th* first two matches and came on to win. When Riggs beat Bromwich and Parker beat Quist in the opening singles matches on Saturday. It seemed that Australia didn't have a chance Even when they defeated Jo* Hunt and Jack Kramer at double* on Sunday th* odd* against them seemed insurmountable. Th* Americans had shown * ouch a superiority tn aingl** that it would not hav* been surprising to see them win both matches yesterday an dtake the challenge round tie. 4 to 1 Rut there was a complete reversal of form Rigg* went out against Quist too cocky and too sure of himself H* held th* brona* hatred Qulat a little too lightly. Rut Qulat. ag if drawing on that courage which he has stored up for the months that ll* ahead, hit out with reckless bandon that indicated that he waa willing to rise or fall on every point. Hi* shots cam* off. hl* gambling was repaid Smart as P :a to. h* could not devise a tac.tc that would break the rhythm of the Australian. He tried everything and everything was in vain. His courage brought him two sets, but two sets were not quit* enough, for In th* fifth and final set th* Australian rod* again to th* attack and would not be denied. Qulat won. 6-1. 64. 34. 34. 6 4 There la no us* beating around th* bush con earning Hi* Brom
