is
also

writers
Will
firimsley
and
Gavle
Talbot,
both
of
Associated
Press
are
at
odds
in
picking
the
Davis
Cup
winners.
Crimsley,
writing
from
Melbourne,
says
quite
happily
that
the
United
States
tennis
team
will
win
back
the
Davis
Cup
next
week,
'
three
matches
to
two.-
Talbot
from
New
York,
on
the
other
hand,
says
"you
will
be
on
pretty
safe
ground
if
you
pick
the
Australians
to
keep
the
silverware
probably
by
three
matches
to
two."
The
on-the-spot
Grimxley
goes
on
to
say
that
Tony
Trabert,
U.S.
bombadier,
should
take
both
his
singles
assignments
and
he
expects
the
third
point
to
come
from
Vie
Seixas'
victory
over
Lewis
Hoad.
He
admits
that
"on
form"
and
one
other
singles
match
must
be
conceded
the
Australians,
although
the
Americans
may
pull
a
surprise
In
the
doubles.
Talbot,
going
on
the
record,
predicts
that
the
telling
advantage
possessed
by
the
Aussiea
is
.
their
superiority
in
doubles
play.
He
points
out
that
the
down-under
boys
have
been
the
world's
best
at
doubles
for
some
20
years.
Since
we
don't

mark
at
this
time
we'll
go
along
