the world.
With the exception of the 1931 Challenge round ile against France, Britain has faced no sterner task in quest of the international trophy since the war. Australia has sent to Europe this year the strongest com- bination aince Gerald Patterson, Norman Brookes and J. O. Anderson won the Cup from the British Isles in 1910.
They enter the arena to-day with several points
their favour. Crawford, by reason of his French and Wimbledon successos is reigning. champion of the world. In their path to the Zone final, Australia huve had several atifler hurdles than Britain to negotiate, notably South Africa in tho fourth round and Japan in the semi- Anal.
BRITAIN'S FAILINGS:
The English representatives on the other hand failed badly on their own courts at Wimbledon. Perry and Hughes, from whom 80 much was.expected in the doubles, fell victims to Nunoi and Satoh, and Perry, Austin and Lee, the Davis Cup singles nominees could ad. vance no further than the last eight.
If judged therefore on recent per formances, Australia will start favourites to-uny.
On the other hand Britain's Davis Cup record during the last four years is a good one. Their players have the fighting spirit and all are capable of producing tennis sufficient to de- feat the world's best.

In the course of three days only 454 runs were scored for the loss of 26 wickets.
Cambridge, thanks mainly to a fighting innings by B. Allen succeeded in securing a lead of 45 runs on the first innings, but to accomplish this they had to bat well into the third day and there was not, the slightest hope of a definite result.
DRAMATIC ENDING..
Nevertheless there was plenty of drama in the closing stages, Oxford collapsing sensationally in their second knock,
Time came to save them, för at the drawing of stumps they had lost six wickets for 79 runs, being only 34 runs ahead at the time.
Two bowlers enjoyed successes to-day. Owen Smith, the Oxonian sent back five Cambridge batsmen for 93 Oxford's concluding innings, took runs, and Farnes, in
