Ex Wimbledon Champ Doubtful Seek Savitt for Cup Defense

New York report says ex Wimbledon champion Dick Savitt may be urged to return for the Davis Cup challenge next month but officials fear his current ill health and business commitments will prevent him from joining the team. Savitt, an Orange, New York native, won Wimbledon and Australian titles in 1951 and has since worked in Houston. Coach Don Budge lauds him as the world’s top amateur if he played, while King and associates weigh possible eastern circuit appearances. Savitt was benched by captain Shields in 1951 after conditioning disputes.
