The condition of the Kooyong 1 court was so bad after the match— which went 62 games and lasted; iust five minutes short of three' nours—that officials decided to! postpone the deciding singles test: until tomorrow. Now the optimism that was ram pant in the United States’ camp' has subsided somewhat, for the Americans' slumping star, Vic Seixas, will go into action against Ken Rosewail, the other Australian 19-year-old. Rosewail has licked Seixas six times in a row. The only real ray of sunshine {that UJS. Captain Billy Talbert canj see is that in a way Rosewail has; been as bad as Seixas. Ken was! benched in the doubles yesterday! after his poor showing in the open ing singles against Trabert. So the pressure will be on both players. Still, today’s match was the one the Americans had counted on win ning. It wasn’t that Trabert didn't per form well. He did. On occasions, he was brilliant. In fact, strange as it may sound, he held the upper hand most of the way. , The rain and wretched condition o f the court bothered him, but that certainly was not why he lost. Young Hoad had to play on the same court. Perhaps Trabert was annoyed a bit more because he is a bigger fellow than Hoad and bad more trouble balancing him self on the slippery turf. Trabert slipped three timea in the early going, and Referee Cliff Sproule came onto the court after the fourth game of the second set and looked over the grata. He re turned to his position without com ment. But two games later, it became obvious that something would have to be done and he told both players they could wear spikes. Trabert accepted the offer, but Hoad elect ee to go on with his tennis sneak ers since he was ahead. The youngster probably thought it bet ter not to change tactics while he was winning. He changed his mind, though, in the third set when Trabert be gan to move in front and before' 'it "was over both were wearing spikes. Tony was downcast over the de feat, but he gave his wife Shauns sa big smile sod a hug when he re turned to the dressing room.

He made few mis takes and he was always attack ing. After Tony won the third set, 'we thought Lew might be shaken a bit, but he wasn’t.
