SHOULD COLOURED ATHLETES COMPETE IN OLYMPIC GAMES?

WHO NEXT FOR THE

DAVIS CUP?

HOW PROBLEM MIGHT BE SOLVED

YOUNGSTERS WHO SHOW PROMISE

NE

(By H. R. McDonald)

London, August 12.

TEW fears that Fred Perry may at last decide to capitalise his lawn tennis talent and so be lost to the amateur game has made the problem of finding a new singles player for the British Davis Cup team a very real and pressing one.

The problem, as H. W. Austin pointed out the other day, has been with us ever since we won back the Cup from France at the Stade Roland Garros, Paris, on that memorable Sunday even- ing in July, 1933. I have frequently called attention to the pro- blem and made suggestions that the powers should build up some sort of a special reserve against the day when we could conjure no more with the magic names of Austin and Perry.

But nothing, so far as I can discover, has really been done," and now, when something will presumably have to be done, to guard against eventualities it may perhaps prove profitable to in- dulge in a few speculations regarding the man the hour will bring forth.

When sudden vacancies either in singles or doubles have occurred H. G. N. Lee, an off- cial member of our team up to the end of 1934, has been call- led upon, but I do not fancy that Harry Lee has any desire for more Davis Cup tennis. Nor is H. F.

LESSONS LEARNED AT BERLIN

(By Bevil Rudd)

Berlin, August 12. HE absence of any "incidents" in the athletic events during eight crowded days of inter- national rivalry in the Stadium here is a vindica- tion of the Olympic ideal and a triumph of the sportsmanship, discipline and good sense of the athletes and of the predominating German crowd.

The vast and delicate organisation stood the strain without » hitch or hiatus. The stage management was well nigh perfect and the actors were free to play their parts without worry or dis- traction. The weather was not propitious and yet the majority of the records set up in 1932 under the ideal conditions of Los Angeles have been eclipsed in Berlin.

Man has not yet risen to the full height of his athletic ability: what that is we can only guess. Perhaps in a decade or two we shall see men capable of running the 100 yards in under 9sec. the mile in under 4min., and capable of throwing a javelin 100 yards or high jumping 7 feet.

But the men who took they fantasy out of such figures are pegroes or those of negroid ex- traction and we are forced to wonder whether the black man's
