The Decatur Yellow Jackets swept aside the stall-minded Elmhurst Trojans Thursday night by a 51-32 score in their quest for a second-straight holiday tourney title before a capacity crowd of 2,000 plus at die Elmhurst gym. The hoet team showed their respect for the local team by moving the ball around the back-court waiting for the open shot, and controlling the ball. It was a case of the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak though as the Trojans missed more of the “played for” shots than they made. In the opening game, a tall Central Catholic quintet bumped Concordia from a shot at the title by a 7061 score. C.C. led through most of the game, but had to fight off a last quarter. Cadet rally to be able to meet the Jackets tonight for the championship.

From there on. things slowed down considerably. The Trojans went into their control game, and nothing happened for two minutes. When the Decaturltes got the ball back after Elmhurst missed a shot, they racked up two more points, with Larry Moses hit- ■ ting two free throws. Stan Kirkpatrick added, a field goal before Jim Lattimore finally connected for the host's first two points. Elmhurst continued to play control ” ball and the Jackets continued to increase their lead to a 134 margin at the end of the first period. The second period was about a replay of the first, with the exception that Elmhurst began to hit a little better. Decatur continued

Elmhurst managed to knock one point of the Jacket margin by half-time, but Decatur still had a comfortable 21-13 lead. <3 The Jackets still had to contend with about two minutes of the stall, but three quick field goals, one by Tony Kelly and two rebound efforts by Kirkpatrick, finally made the “handwriting on the wall” evident to the Trojan strategists.

Australians Make Sweep Os Davis Cup ADELAIDE, Australia (W— Favored Australia wrapped up a clean 5-0 sweep over the United States in the Davis Cup challenge round today but two rays of hope appeared for America — the expected loss of Ken Rosewall and the brilliance of Sam Giammalva. Having already clinched the cup on Thursday, the Aussies sent twin stars Rosewall and Lew Hoad put for a sweep today’and they came through in dazzling style. First dark-haired Rosewall, who is expected to announce Saturday he is turning professional, downed young Giammalva of Houston, Tex., 4-6, 6-1, 8-6, 7-5 in a -hardfought match, and then blond Hoad ripped easily through 33-year-old Vic Selxas of Philadelphia, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3. It was the second win for each Aussie star in this round, and the second straight year that the Aussies beat America by a perfect 5-0 score. I But there could be trouble ahead in 1957 for the Aussies. The expected loss of Rosewall to Jack Kramer’s touring professional troupe will be felt, even though Hoad still will be around as the world’s No. 1 player and a number of young Aussies are ready to help him. - r And Giammalva, 22, showed again in his loss to Rosewall that he is rapidly becotping a player of top international ability.
