Bowrey Upsets Ashe In Davis Cup Final
In Adelaide Australia Bill Bowrey a doubtful starter toppled Arthur Ashe 2-6 7 11-9 8 6 to deny a 5-0 U S sweep. The American lead was 4-1 after Graebner defeated Ruffels and Bowrey fell to Graebner 5 sets bowing out late. Ashe appeared hampered by a sore right elbow and wobbling overhead play.
