...still soggy, gave them a much less dubious advantage when the match began because Bell has trouble standing up even when the footing is dry and firm. After winning without difficulty, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5, Crawford & McGrath came up against the newly organized team of sly George Lott and towering Lester Stoefen. Stoefen & Lott concentrated their attack on 17-year-old McGrath's two-handed backhand. He missed 14 out of 17 chances in the first set, improved later but not enough to play offensive tennis against the fastest combination in the tournament. Their victory...
...that no one had thought much about was doing much better than anyone expected. Young Donald Quist and Don Turnbull beat Allison and Van Ryn, who have been U. S. doubles champions or runners-up since 1931, 15-13, 0-6, 6-1, 7-5. That bracketted them with Lott & Stoefen in one half of the semifinals.

...more then five years since the Alligator, Rene LaCoste, toppled the American tennis titan, Tilden, and thus brought to France the Davis Cup. There it has remained despite the fact that in Shields, Lott, Allison, Van Ryn, and Vines, America has the greatest collection of tennis players alive and most probably the greatest individual player. Yet France continues to pour water on her already soggy courts and Champagne into the historic bowl...
