They missed their first five shots and threw the ball away three times in as many minutes. Then they settled down to some of the fanciest shooting by any VU team.

The boys took turns at having hot streaks. Schroer, who stole the ball, passed well and hounded little Marv Bachmeier most of the evening, got six straight points and VU led 19-16.

U.S. player, and Olmedo, the borrowed Peruvian, won an exhausting four-hour marathon 10-12, 3-6, 16-14, 6-3, 7-5. The triumph gave the underdog Yanks a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five competition and put them in a favorable position to clinch the international tennis trophy in the final singles Wednesday. Olmedo, who scored a sensational first-day victory over Anderson, will play Wimbledon champion Ashley Cooper in the first match, while Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, will meet weary, harried Anderson in the final test. The confident American camp is sure the 22-year-old Olmedo, who is playing brilliant tennis, will whip Cooper, the world's top amateur, and make the final match a mere formality.

Barry Has Chance But even if he fails, the most rabid Australians concede Mac-Kay, with his booming service, stands a good chance of licking Anderson, a chronic worrier who now is fretting over two straight setbacks. It was Anderson, his legs wobbly from weariness, who finally cracked in the 81st game, losing his service at love in the 11th game of the fifth and final set. First he netted a weak volley.
