" Cousy Bewildered By Coach's Attack i BOSTON UP \— “Tired and discouraged,” Bob Cousy, back court wizard of the Boston Celtics and perhaps the National Basketball Association’s top gate attraction, today pondered whether to ask to be traded. The former Holy Cross College All-American and thrice a member of tl\e NBA all-star team his will to win for Boston dwindled after he and two teammates were berated publicly by Coach Arnold Red Auerbach. Cousy, "Ed” MaeAuley and Bill Sharman were accused of subordinating teamwork to “individual performance” by the Boston coach at a weekly basketball luncheon here Monday. Auerbach singled out Cousy's “fancy-Dan” dribbling and behind-the-back passing as the cause of the team's mediocre showing to date. “Right now I’m tired and discouraged and all mixed up." Cousjsaid Tuesdaj- night. “But if the feeling between Auerbach and me continues I’ll ask to be traded to another team.” “If Auerbach's blast was meant as a morale-booster,” he said, “it certainly didn't have that effect on me.” BOWLING SCORES G.

Hoad Beats Trabert To Even Cup Play MELBOUEyfE, Australia UP — Young Lewis Hoad conquered mighty Tony Trabert today in a rain-splashed five-set thriller that kept Australia's Davis Cup hopes' alive for one more day. s The 19-year-old Australian’s crucial 13-11, 6-3, 2-6, 3-6, 7-5 victory over the fighting American pulled the boys from “Down Under” into a 2-2 tie and made Thursday's finale a “battle of weak sisters." Vic Seixas of the 'united States and Ken Rosewall of Australia. Seixas, defeated by Hoad in Monday’s opener, and Rosewall, smashed by Trabert in their match actually -were scheduled to play the deciding match today but heavy rain forced a 24-hour postponement. Seixas, weak in the matches pre ceding the Davis Cup challenge round, remained in the lineup with Trabert Tuesday to beat Hoad and Rex Hartwig in the doubles and give the United States a 2-1 lead that Hoad erased today. Hoad’s brilliant play in capturing one of the all-time great singles matches in Davis Cup competition was almost matched by Trabert’s tenacity. Country Slaughter Signed By Cardinals ST. LOUIS, Mo.
