LONDON, Wednesday. Australian wonder girl 19-year-old Evonne Goolagong scored a smashing upset by beating number two seed Mrs Billie-Jean King, 6-4, 64, today. Earlier Margaret Court beat Judy Dalton 4-6, 6-1, 6-0 to make it an all-Australian final at Wimbledon.

Ken Rosewall's victory over Cliff Richey at Wimbledon drew a new high In superlatives from those lucky enough to see It. The strain of coming back from two sets down to win 6-8, 5-7, 7-5 shows plainly In Rosewall's face. When It was; over at last after four hours 1 the spectators stood and applauded. The beaten Richey, 12 years younger, olfered his handshake and this hope for the final: "I hope II will be Kenny." Rosewall's win hailed I i Miss Goolagong, playing in only her second Wimbledon, electrified the capacity crowd by winning the opening set 6-4. Then she and Mrs King turned pn the finest women's- tennis of this Wimbledon and the crowd saw the happy little Australian take it out again by six games to four.

One commentator called her a "player of destiny." Miss Goolagong, a game point down, hit back to capture Mrs King's service in the opening game of the first set. She made it 2-love without conceding another point, forcing Mrs King to change rackets. It did her no immediate good. She trailed love-40 in the third game and although having herself back to deuce the American faced another game point before finally shaking herself clear of the Australian's grip. Miss Goolagong, perhaps showing her one weakness, had a lapse of concentration and lost her service in DA VIS, KNIGHT UT IN RU SHAKE UP By JIM WEBSTER Greg Davis, who has been the Australian captain in Rugby Union Tests for the past two years, has been left out of the NSW team to play South Africa on Saturday week.

The referees for the Springboks first three games in mis state were also announced last night They are against Sydney, K. Crowe (Qld), NSW, C. Ferguson, NSW Country, Cooney.

Qld fail to impress with Miss Goolagong still dominating. Mrs King had a slim chance- of retrieving the situation in the fourth game after Miss Goolagong made a rare fault on her backhand. Mrs King had a break point for a 3- 1 lead, but failed to press home the advantage. Miss Goolagong served cleverly, forcing Mrs King to mis-hit repeatedly. Showing no nerves at all, Miss Goolagong smiled at her own faults.

The American again changed rackets but it did no good although she had several fine passing shots. Mrs J. Dalton, playing fine attacking tennis against Mrs Court, took: the first set 6-4. Mrs Dalton, unseeded, was upsetting the number one seed with powerful, well-placed returns. Twice Mrs Dalton captured Mrs Court's service.

The first time enabled her to lead 2-1 after her opponent had struck two weak volleys into the net. But with an opportunity to take a grip on the match Mrs Dalton played her one bad game to lose the advantage straight away. In a poor fourth game she twice double-faulted and hit out on two other fairly easy chances. Once this minor setback was behind her she still looked full of forceful tennis and broke service again for a 4-3 lead. This time Mrs Court failed to produce anything to save the set.

Mrs Court, without reaching her best form, turned the match dramatically in the second set, winning the first five games before taking it 6-1 in 27 By the end of it she was looking a more confident player although still had trouble with her first service. If the second set was a disappointment for Mrs Dalton, the third was a disaster. Mrs Court took it without loss to win the match 4- 6, 6-1, 6-0, having swung the issue dramatically after losing the opening set. WOMIN'S DOUIIIS.

Crowd! 970. LONDON, Wednesday. British sporting: writers today hailed Ken Rosewall's win over Cliflf Richey at Wimbledon yesterday. 'The Times' headed its report of the mara- thon match "Rosewall overcomes 12 years and stays four hours." It said that had the match been written in fiction, no-one would have believed it. The "Daily Express" said "Little Giant Ken" had performed the impossible.

"Rosewall has achieved all sorts of worldwide triumphs and won hundreds of thousands of dollars. But this last winning set was truly his finest hour." The "Daily Telegraph" said the match transformed sporting values into something transcendental, but added "after Rosewall's efforts yesterday it is hard to see how a man of 36 will have either mental or physical energies left to carry him further." Rosewall edged Richey 6-8, 5-7 6-4, 9-7, 7-5 In a four-hour marathon epic and qualified for a semi-final meeting with John Newcombe. Rosewall and Richey got a thunderous standing ovation from the 15,000 fans on the centre court. Richey walked off the court with his arm round Rosewall's shoulder. BRINK OF DEFEAT The 36-year-old Rosewall came back from the brink of defeat to win a match which, in the third set, looked like Richey's for the taking.

In the third set Richey led by two sets to love four games to two and 30-love a situation from which no player had the right to make a comeback. Richey, 12 years younger than Rosewall and ranked number one in his own country, saved four match points in a remarkable 10th game in the fifth set. In the fifth set he also had two points for 4-3, three for 5-4 and two for 6-5 with his service to follow on each occasion. It was a match of incredible contrasts. In the first two sets Rosewall looked lethargic and indifferent and Richey played with composure and strength.

But mid-way through the third set Rosewall, for the first time, found some purpose and attacked Richey with more zest, producing some of his virtuoso stroke play. Rosewall had exhaustion written all over him but he reached back into his huge reservoir of experience to fight Richey point by point and game by game through to the dramatic and tremendous final set. As he thrust his final winning volley beyond Richey's despairing reach, he raised his tired arms above his head to receive the acclamation of the CrOWd, i 'i Vs." 43-nil victory over SA ADELAIDE, Wednesday. The South African Rugby team ran away from South Australia in the second half of their match at Norwood Oval today. The Springboks put on five converted tries and a penalty goal the second naif for a runaway 43-0 win.

Springbok five eighth-Piet Visagie, scored 25 of the Springboks' points with five penalty goals and five goals. The Boks had to contend with an unruly mob of demonstrators but managed to polish their football after a sluggish first spell. They led 15-0 at half-time, but could manage only one try in this period scored by right-winger Hannes Viljoen in the 23rd minute. But after the break they moved into top gear, with the backs involved in some sparkling raids. First, the left winger, I Gert Muller, flashed into I the corner I five minutes I after the break, then Visagie cleaved through to put his centre, Joggie Jansen, over near the posts.

From that point, the Springboks ran pretty near at will, with centre Cronje, winger Muller and breakaway Lourens adding smart tries. South Australia held up valiantly until the late stages, with the centres, Wally Fraser and Kevin James, running into their opposites stoically. The -Springbok backs stole the show from their forwards, who looked a little sluggish at times and were high in the rucks. They still bad the power, however, to earn their backs enough possession to give them plenty of running. The Springboks, nevertheless, have considerable improvement yet to make, particularly in getting their forward game going, before they strike the major matches of the tour in NSW next week.

Only a couple of minutes' interruption was caused by demonstrators who ran on to the field and, despite a lot of distraction and smoke, the players showed no major effects.
