Aussies Make Clean Sweep In Davis Cup FOREST HILLS. N Y. (INS) — The Davis Cup was accorded an excellent diance of gaining permanent Australian citizenship ’ toda’y and U. S. tennis prestige plunged to an almost all time low. Milly Talbert, non playing captain of the beaten, blanked and bleary American cup team, summed up the problem with a simple but mountainous truism. “We have to rebuild.” Billy declared. How soon, how much and with what was the anguished question in the wake of a "lost weekend” in which Australia reclaimed the international tennis treasure with a crushing. 5 to 0 challenge round rout of the U. S. forces. It was the first shutout fetched against the U. S. since 1935, when England applied the whitewash. • Australia’s tennis terrors -r- Lewis Hoad, Ken Rosewall and Rex Hartwig — shot real bullets in doing the convincing blank job this time, to take back the cup they loaned the U. S. eight month ago. The next chance anybody has to get the silverware away from the lads from down under will be in December of 1956 and there certainly is no guarantee that Uncle Sam will have enough muscle even to reach the challenge round on that occasion. Tony Trabert, the power guy advertised as the world's outstanding amateur netster, and Vic the U. S. national champion, were the principal fall guys for Australia's team of youth, desiro,An<l magnificent efficiency. Hoad and Rosewall, the old whiz kids, zoomed the Aussies oft to a 2-0 lead Friday. Hoad beat Trabert and Rosewall topped .Seizas in the opening singles matches. Then, on Saturday the Aussies clinched their fifth Davis Cup in the last six years when Hoad teamed with 26-year-old Hartwig to beat Tony and Vic in the doubles. The humiliation became complete Sunday when Hoad made it a personal triple by topping Seixas. 7-9, 6-1. 6-4, 6-4. and little Rosewall gave Rhodes Scholar Ham Richardson a 6-4. 3-6. 6-1, 6-4 tennis lesson. Ellis President Os Major League Glen Ellis was elected president of the Major league at an organization meeting last week at the Mies ’bowling alleys. Other officers are Victor Bleeke. vice president, and Robert Dedolph, secretary-treasurer. An important meeting of team captains will be held at 8 p. m. Sept. 6 at the alleys.
