DAVIS CUP ENQUIRY Eighteen Neutrals May Wish For Competition
LONDON, Jan. 15 (Reuter).—Australia is anxious to know, as soon as possible, whether the Davis Cup, which she won last year, will be competed for this year.
As the holding nation, Ause, tralia now becomes manager of the Davis Cup competition and would have to appoint repre- Hentatives to manage the Euro- pean and American Zones. Davis Cup challenges have to be in the hands of the champion nation not later than January 31. The draiv. is usually mude on February 3.
The question whether the competi tion should be
for the suspended duration of the war was discussed al a meeting of the Australian Lawn Tennis Association, and it was de- elded that its representative in Lon- don should ascertain immediately from the International Lawn Tenn Federation what action is to be taken,
Although the war makes Austra- lin's position difficult in regard to the Davis Cup, it is not reasonable to ns- sume that she has the right to claim "no contest" this year.

THE COUNCIL of the Hongkong Hockey Association did well to confirm the rejection of Tournament which is to open here the Royal Engineers' protest, which decision was reached by the Hockey Umpires Association. There was no doubt whatever as to the position of the umpire when the appeal was mado. was not certain the ball had been hit from within

the circle, and, therefore, immediately reversed
his decision.
There is no rule in Hockey which states that a player must not appeal, or must be sent off the field if he appeals. But it is understood that appealing by players should not be permitted. That, however, is a problem for the umpire, who, by the way, is not infallible as everything depends on the position from which the appeal was made.
Team
The case referred to is de- finitely a matter where the umpire must use his own dis- eretionary power, and spectators Final Interport Soccer who profess to be umpiresį should bear this in mind. I am inclined to believe that it is just those spectators who seldom witness these incidents who are the oney who Arc apt to
criticize.
I will quote paragraphs from Rule 19 and notes, which refer to umpires as issued under the authority of the International Hockey Board for the guidance of all player and umpires,
RULE 18. Umpires. (b) An umpire shall give his decision without wait- ing for an appeal.
(d) An umpire shall refrain from) enforcing a penalty la cases where he is enlisted that by enforcing it be would be giving an advantage to the offending team.
Notes on the Rule, and in particu- lar sub-para (d) should be studied carefully.
The local group deckled to limit the tournament to the men's and women's doubles, abandoning the singles in order to cut town the time of the stay of foreign entrants.
