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, Aus- tralia now becomes maunger of the Davis Cup competition and would have to appoint repre- sentatives 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 draw is usually made on February 3.
The question whether the competi- fion should be suspended for the duration of the war was discussed at a meeting of the Australian Lawn Tennis Association, and it was de cided that its representative in Lon- don should ascertain immediately from the Internallonal Lawn Tennis Federation what action is to be taken.
Although the war makes Austra- lla's position difficult, in regard to the Davis Cup, it is not reasonable to us- sume that she has the right to claim "no conlest" this year.
A
NON-COMBATANTS
LARGE number of the competing| nations, including the United States, are not at war. and they would have grounds for complaint. Of the 27 nations who entered lust year, eighteen are not involved in the war.

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.
