Who Won ¶ Ex-Davis Cupper Ted Schroeder, 30, the Pacific Coast tennis championship; in Berkeley, Calif. Schroeder, still showing some of the slashing form that has won him six of eight Davis Cup matches, whipped Philadelphia’s Vic Seixas, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, in the final. U.S. Davis Cup hopes received an expected blow when 20-year-old Tony Trabert, national clay court champion, was forced to default a doubles match and report for duty with the Navy. ¶The University of Texas football team, eleventh in the pre-season rankings, over seventh-ranked Kentucky, 7-6; in Austin. Other notable football victories: Georgia Tech over Southern Methodist, 21-7; Fordham over Missouri, 34-20; Michigan State over Oregon State, 6-0; Southern California over Washington State, 31-21.
