AUSTRALIA CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS IN DAVIS Golf CUP COMPETITION

Norman Brookes Thinks America Will Be Beaten

With a Davis Cup team composing of John Bromwich, Adrian Quist and Jack Crawford, Australis, as last year, are likely to be America's challengers at Philadelphia in September, says A. Wallis Myers in the Daily Telegraph..

The Australian President, Mr. Norman Brookes, with characteristic boldness, is reported to have said that the odds in favour of a Commonwealth victory are 3 to 1. This, of course, is far too sanguine an estimate. It is not even 3 to 1 that Australia will survive the eliminating contest.
