Friday, July 2, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAIL' Smith meets Newconbe in Wimbledon finals WIMBLEDON (A) - S t a n Smith of Pasadena, Calif., and s defending champion John New- combe of Australia powered their way past half-fit oppon- ents yesterday to gain the men's singles finals of the All-Eng- land Lawn Tennis Champion- ships. Saturday's final will be the first U.S.-Australian confront- ation since Chuch McKinley de- feated Fred Stolle eight years ago. Smith defeated Tom Gorman of Seattle 6-3, 8-6, 6-3 while Newcombe, coasted to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3, victory over Ken Rosewall, also of Australia and darling of ' the center court crowd, in the semi-finals. Gorman was suffering from a strained back and Rosewall ob- viously was tired after a five- set quarter-final thriller Tues- day when he beat Cliff Richey of Sarasota, Fla. " The women's final today will be the first All-Australian wo- men's final ever seen here, and it marks the end - at least temporarily - of a five-year center court domination by Bil- lie Jean King, the bespeckled little Californian from Long Beach. Instead, defending champion Margaret Court will meet Evon- ne Goolagong, at 19 -.the most exciting young prospect t h e girls' bracket has seen since the former Margaret Smith and Billie Jean Moffitt blazed on the scene in the early 60's. Billie Jean, three times a winner, three times a runner- up, was knocked out of con- tention this year by Goolagong in Wednesday's semifinals. Of the winners, Newcombe looked the most impressive as he ran little Rosewall into the ground. Smith's service - al- ways his main weapon - was far too strong for Gorman. Gorman, 25, imprinted an in- delible mark on this year's Wim- bledon by ousting Australia's Rod Laver in the fourth round, but he's been plagued by an old back injury for most of the tournament. "I haven't come all this way to pull out now," he said as he walked out with Smith onto the packed center court to start the day's play. But his injury slowed him down, especially on Davis Cup keeps pro ban, scrap challenge round O WIMBLEDON, England, (/P) - Representatives of The Davis Cup nations decided unanimously yesterday to abolish the Chal- lenge Round in the big interna- tional tennis tournament. It means that beginning 1972 the defending nation will have to play through the tournament from the first round instead of playing just one match again the winner of the inter-zone finals.

The annual meeting yesterday simply approved the idea. The United States, last year's winner, is due to defend the tro- phy against the winner of the in- ter-zone finals at Charlotte, N.C., next October. That will be the last Challenge Round-a tra- dition since the Davis Cup was inaugurated in 1900. The meeting, again following the advice of the steering com- mittee, also slammed the door tight on contract professionals olaying in the Davis Cup. The tournament still will be confined to players who are un- der the authority of national as- sociations, though former pros are allowed to play.

CUP HOPES GONE: Rosew allgives up WIMBLEDON A) - K e n Rosewall, the old maestro of tennis, said yesterday he will continue to try to win Wimble- don but he's given up thoughts of playing for Austrailia in the Davis Cup again. Rosewall, 36, bowed out to 26-year-old defending champ- ion John Newcombe in t h e semifinals of the all-England grass courts tennis Grass Courts Tennis Championships, yester- day. Almost as the match started, the annual meeting of repre- sentatives of Davis Cup n a - tions decided to keep the ban against contract professionals playing for their countries. Rosewall is a star of t h e World Championship Tennis professional group, "I've had my go for Aus- tralia in the Davis Cup," Rose- wall said. "I'd rather see t h e younger fellows play in th e Davis Cup now. "It's the youngsters like Phil Dent, 'John Alexander and Al- lan Stone I'm sorry for. I hope the Davis Cup will be made an open event some time so that these boys will get their chance." Dent, Alexander and Stone all are under contract to WCT, like Rosewall. Rosewall went out 1-6, 1-6, 3- 6 to Newcombe and admitted afterwards he probably was still feeling the effects of his four-hour marathon against U.S. Davis Cup star Cliff Rich- ey two days earlier. Rosewall won that match - a nerve- tingling cliff hanger -- after losing the first two sets. "It probably took more out of me than I realized," R os e- wall said. "Not that it would have made much difference to the result today. Newcombe played very well. "At my age the great thing at Wimbledon is to avoid long, tiring matches like the one against Richey.
