15) The United States won back the Davis Cup from Australia today in the biggest upset in the history of the competition when Alex Olmedo, a nervous young Peruvian, won the deciding singles match from Ashley Cooper, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 8-6. Olmedo's triumph gave the U. S. a 3-1 lead in the best-of-5 6 9 i (7-3) in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif.

Wyoming (7-3) is a 3i point choice over Hardin-Simmons (6-4) in the Sun Bowl, which has the spotlight to itself today. This 24th annual affair will lure about 15,000 fans at El Paso, Texas. Kickoff time is 4 p. m. (EST).

The big guns start firing on if Thursday before about 343,000 sion. An upset of the fans and millions of tel- ranking Oklahomans would evasion viewers around the 'help ease the memory of the country. Louisiana State (10-0), the nation's No. 1 team, the only major college all-winning outfit, and the "Team of the Year" in the Associated Press year-end poll, is a 15 point choice over the under-rated Clemson Tig-i8 ers (8-2) in the Sugar Bowl. If Coach Frank Howard's Tigers knock, off LSU it will go down as the most shocking bowl upset since no-chance Columbia stunned Stanford 7-0 in the 1934 Rose Bowl contest.

A crowd of 82,000 will see this one at New Orleans. It will be telecast by NBC (2 p. EST). Iowa's Big Ten champions (7-1-1) are 18 points favorites over California's Golden Bears 1 series for the coveted mug symbol of world amateur tennis supremacy and made the final singles match between Barry Mackay of Dayton, Ohio, and Mai Anderson, a mere formality It was young Olmedo, the ll- year old national collegiate champion from Southern Cali fornia, who sparked the stnte-ridden American team to its vic tory. First he licked Mai An derson to give the American team the lift it needed.

Then he teamed with Ham Richardson to win the doubles from Anderson and Neale Fra-ser. And finally, he was the complete master of Cooper, who by unanimous verdict, is the finest amateur player in the world. But for the past three days, the greatest amateur player in the world was Olmedo, who almost didn't make the team. Last Simmer, there was some doubt that he should be chosen, because he was not a U. S.

national. But he had resided in the States for five years and that made him eligible for the team. Until he joined Captain Perry Jones' squad, he never had seen a Davis cup match in his life. So now for the first time in four years, the Davis cup heads back for the U. S.

This was the 15th straight challenge round between the U.S. and Austrialia. Australia has won eight of them and the U. S. seven.

It was almost incomprehen sible to the packed throng pf 18,500 at the Milton Tennis sta dium that Olmedo practically an unknown until last Sum mer would be the complete master of Cooper. It was Cooper who got a bad case of nerves, double faulting at numerous critical spots. It was Cooper who permitted him self to be fooled, and it was Cooper who got rattled when the chips were down. The crowd just couldn't be lieve it. And probably neither could Olmedo SOUTHERN CAL student Alex Olmedo, of Peru, scored smashing upset over Australia's Ashley Cooper today in Brisbane, giving U.

"Keep Kramer away from him," called out Perry Jones, the 70-year-old American captain.

"Don't let that man in here." Jones was joking, of course. But he was referring to the fact that rumors are circulating that Kramer has his money eye on Olmedo. But who should walk right in, but Kramer, himself. Actually, he is Jones' assistant and can take a great deal of credit for the U. S.

In the first three games of the first set, Cooper won only four points while Olmedo was hold ing his own service twice and breaking the Aussie once. Cooper is a notoriously slow starter and the crowd confidently waited for him to settle down. He did break Olmedo in the fifth game of the first set with several booming drives. This, the gathering thought, was the beginning of the end of could Olmedo. But the crowd thought wrong.

Back roared Olmedo to shatter Cooper at love. That broke ihe Aussie's spirit for the set and quite possibly the match. Cooper was nervous, but he certainly was not one to give up. He fought right down to the final point and after trailing 4-3 in the final set, and being down 0-40 in the eighth game, he broke Olmedo after going to deuce four times. That's coming through under pressure.

But he couldn't keep it up. Olmedo made the key break in the thirteenth game of the final set when he gave Cooper only two points. By that time, Cooper was a bundle of nerves and didn't get a single first service into play. It was Adrian Quist, the old Aussie cup ace, and now a sport commentator, who summed it up best: "It was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in a challenge round. Olmedo is not as great a tennis player as Cooper, I think everyone will agree.

"But he put the ball into play, and his greatest feature was his anticipation of Cooper's shots. He was always there to return them." The mail has been both cheering and amazing, Red said.

31. UP) Roy Campanella will be back in a Dodger uniform for the next Spring training in Florida. Not as a player, of course. An automobile accident last Jan. 28 ended Campy's magnificent 10-year major league career.

Although partly paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, Campanella will join the Los Angeles Dodgers at Vero, Beach, as a coach. He'll tutor minor league hopefuls and later will have official status as assistant supervisor of scouting in the east. In making the announcement today, Dodger vice president E. (Buzzie) Bavasi said: "Campy's going to be a big help to us at Vero Beach. His vast knowledge of catching technique and his knowledge of batters' weaknesses in the National Leagle will certainly come in handy." His return will mean a spiritual boost for the team, too, Bavasi said.

Campanella has been busy with a radio show in the east. He is now strong enough to take on more active duties that will assist in his recuperative program. Former Giant Official Dies TROY, N. Dec. 31 (JP) James J.
