JAPAN EXPECTS TO WIN
DAVIS CUP
HOPES CENTRED ON NEW NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
CERTAIN TO HAVE POWERFUL
TEAM IN 1934
Tokyo.
With their forces strengthened by powerful fresh reserves, the Japanese believe the free-for-all scramble into which the 1934 Davis Cup campaign is expected to develop will be their golden opportunity to bring to the Orient the symbol of world tennis supremacy.
The national tennis championships, played in No- vember on the courts of the huge stadium at Koshien, near Osaka, showed that Japan has to-day a greater wealth of first or second rank tennis material than ever before.

Haus the Japanese are automa- feally in the quarterfinals for the AS GOOD AS ANYBODY ELSE., Europe zone for 1934. Japanese confidence that their 1984 Davis Cup chances are n good as those of any other nation reats partly on the wide open na- nature of the prospective campaign; on their conviction that the French dynasty that ruled the courts for six years has finally collapsed; that the American challenge is disorganized and demoralized; that Australia's Davis Cup team eзsun- tally a one-man affair, meaning Jack Crawfort, and that England's Fred Perry and Henry W. Austin are not kely to maintain for an- other summer the high level of prowess they achieved in 1933.
The Jaraneve morenver have always done well at Wimbledon, and Bro Sato has victories over both Perry and Austin to his eredit.

Un- doubtedly this was partly due to fatigue induced by their long and strennons campaign in Europe and the United States and to the fact that the home staying stars had trained for this tournament and were in top form.
However. Sato and Nunoi were among the first to admit the power of the new aarosh of talent and to! hail the arrival of new champlona to carry Nippon's colours to the tennis courts of the Occident,
