AMERICA'S DAVIS CUP SKIPPER Agile Enough When Over 40
R. N. WILLIAMS' FORMER PROWESS
Although now over 40, Mr. R. N. Williams, who is returning to Wimbledon as the captain of the| American Davis Cup team, was agile enough to compete in the American championships last year.
A survivor of the Titanic, in which his father. Duane Williams, was lost, he was one of the first Americans to volunteer for active | service in the war.
He was singles champion of America in 1914, defeating Mc- Loughlin, who a few weeks carlier had beaten, both Brookes and Wild- ing in the Davis Cup challenge round. A decade later, with Vin cent
Richards, Williams formed) one of the strongest doubles com- hinalions the world has ever seen.
Wimbledon saw his genius as a doubles player when, with C. S. Garland, be defeated Tilden and Johnston in 1920.
