Tiny Ken Rosewall carved Newcombe to pieces In four sets winning one of them at love; a 25-year-old Russian, Olga Morozova, cut down Billie Jean in straight sets, and Kerry Melville coolly dissected Evonne. When the smoke had cleared, three Americans had reached the last four in the men's singles a feat not. matched by the U.S. since 1947 when Jack Kramer, Tom Brown and Budge Patty gained the semis.

Dick Stockton was the un- likely third member of this. year's trio when he finished up the day of upsets by blasting Russia's luuY Metre veh off the court to join Jimmy Connors and Stan Smith in the semis. Stockton next will meet Con- nors and the towering Smith will try to crush the tiny RosewaU's dream of becoming the oldest man ever to win the world's premier ten- 1 nis event. In women's singles, it will be Chris- Evert of the USA against Miss Melville, Morozova against Virginia Wade. Connors, the third seed t-from Belleville, 111., defeat-, ed defending champion Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-8, 6-3: Smith, the fourth seed and 1972 title winner from Sea Pines, S.C., stopped unseeded giant-killer Ismael El Shafei of Egypt, 9-8, 7-5, while the unseeded Stockton, of Port Washington, N.

toyed with Metreveli, last year's runner-up, 6-4, 7-5, 6-1. But the biggest sensation of all was provided by the 39-year -oldy Rosewall, 20 years after he appeared in the first of. three losing finals, when defeated three-time winner and title favorite, Newcombe, 6-1, 1-6, 6-0, 7-5. Mrs. King, the defending champion seeking her sixth title, lost her temper and the match, 7-5, 6-2 to the eighth seeded Mrs.

Morozova. But Chris Evert kept pace with her boy friend Connors by breezing by, 6-4, 6-2, over unseeded Helga Mastoff of Germany. In other matches, the sixth seeded Miss Melville of Australia took command of third seeded Miss Goolagong, 9-7, 1-6, 6-2, while Britain's Virginia Wade, the fifth seed, defeated unseed ed South African teen-ager, Linky Boshoff, 6-3, 6-2. Rosewall, winner of four Australian, two U.S., French and WCT titles but always a loser here, broke New-combe's heart with his return of service and his brilliant backhand passing shots. In the tlurd set, Newcombe, the reigning U.S.

-and WCT champion, was able to win only 12 points. Whatever he did, it was not enough against an opponent who played with the zest of a youth making his first appearance in the hallowed confines of center court. hope he wins it now," Newcombe said. "I've stopped him twice before." Rosewall wore his usual poker face mask when asked about his. chances against Smith, but Smith said, "If I was not playing him, I'd be Turn to Page 49, Col.

"The Giants have had terrible luck with injuries. Things haven't panned out for them. "After a bad start, we've shown steady improvement.

Our young players have executed fundamentals and cut down on mental errors. And that man (pointing to coach Uill Posedel's locker) has done a helluva job rebuilding our pitching staff."
