STRONG OPPOSITION IS TORNAL CERTAIN

GERMANY LIKELY TO SUPPORT U.S.

(By A. Wallis Myers)

THE decision of the French Lawn Tennis Fede- ration to support America's opposition to the widening of the amateur definition, especially in relation to film contracts, is, I hear, likely to affect the result of the conference which is to be held in Paris.

Between them France and the United States command twelve votes at the International Fede- ration, and since it is estimated that twenty-five adverse votes will be sufficient to reject the motion which Great Britain is supporting, and which is known to concern one of her chief players, there is no certainty of success for Britain,

It is not probable, I understand, that Germany will vote with France and America, forming a formidable bloc, while the attitude of Italy and other European countries la doubtful. The "pro-filmers," as they have been called, include Great Britain,

Czechoslovakia, Australia, South Africa and Belgium. Their views will naturally command respect, but a two-thirds majority of votes is required for the deletion of the existing prohibitive clause.

STRANGE ATTITUDE

OF SELECTORS

VITAL INTERNATIONAL NOT WITNESSED

PORTUGUESE PLAYERS DESERVING OF PLACES IN TEAM

(By “Sticks”)

THE Civilian hockey selection committee have lost no time in arranging for their trial in preparation for their forthcoming encounter against the Shanghai German Hockey Club, which takes place next Monday at King's Park.

Two fairly strong sides have been drawn up to represent Whites and Colours on Thursday on the Club ground, and, although most of the Civi- lian stars have been included, there are one or two exceptions which call for comment.

One of the greatest blunders the Selectors made was the omission of L. A. Oliveira, from either of the Intermediate lines, for his display for Portugal against India last Thursday would have secured him a position in any first-class Colony side.

The trouble was, however, that, *==--
