Coach Karl Keneluh beamed when, in the State House in Bol- ton, Lieutenant-Governor Arthur Coolidge of Massachusetts, paired Jaraslov Drobny, the Cnech ace, against Billy Sidweli, a newcomer to Davis Cup competition for one of tomorrow's singles matches here at Longwood. ‘ . The dram for the other singles coupled Adrian Quist, the Austra- lian captain, with Vladimir Cer. nik, the second ranking Oaeoho- slovskian performer. Then Quist gave the Czech add- ed enwuragement by nnwncing that, due to the condition of Oolin Long, his doubles partner, he would be unable to announce the make-up of the Australian tan- dem for Friday's team match much before the 24-hour deadline. Long twisted an ankle illt week. In the event that Lcng will be out or action, Qulst can call upon either Sidwell or Geoff Brown for the doubles action against Drobny and Cernlk. Kozeluh had high hopes that the capable Drobny would mggtgr Sidwell in their singles clash to. morrow and he and Cernik d9- feat Quist and ailing Long, qr his replacement, in Friday's team match.

IC-Dou Brod- man‘: Australian tourists today handed England one of her worst defeats ever suffered at crickw. Britons’ own national sport.‘ The final score in the testmatch at Kennlngtoa oval showed Aius- trails. winning by the shockingly- wide margin of an innings and 149 runs. That gave the victors the series by four games to none with one match drawn. No other touring side had ever won a1 many tests in England. Emgland scored only b2 runa in the first innings of the final match and was all out today for 180 runs in the second innings. The game also marked the end of the test career of .the fabulous Bradxman. In a. brlei’ apeecb from the pavilion balcony. he confirmed that he would play no more test cricket “despite anything you have read to the contrary." Meantime. the British public took the blow hard. In the streets, in pubs and at newspaper 081cc: where the latest score was dia- played. faces were long. British cricket enthusiasts are really worried over the mediocre standard of play in Britain. Newe- paipers are devoting editorial ool- umns-usually reserved for discus- sion oi national and international events-to the sports quegtlon a! the hour: “How to win back The Ashes?" Australia won ‘The Ashes. sym- bolic of commonwealth cricket supremacy. by her victories in the test matches.
