ARMY OUTCLASS NAVY IN FIRST MATCH FOR KOTEWALL CUP

BRITISH DAVIS CUP

HOPE'S COACHING

DELOFORD TO PLAY WITH DAN MASKELL

IMPOSING LIST OF WINS

(By "The Twelfth Man")

London, October 13.

LAWN tennis players will be interested to hear that M. D. Deloford, a young player to whose promise I have often called attention, has been invited to practise with Dan Maskell, the British Davis Cup coach, at Wimbledon during the winter months.

•

Soon after Deloford won the Junior Championship of Great! Britain in 1933 I suggested that he should be accepted right away for Wimbledon by virtue of his victory in that competition. It was, and still is my contention that every national junior cham-| pion, boy or girl, should have the right to compete at Wimbledon without any scrutiny by an eliminating committee.

This season Murray Deloford has proved that all the good] things said about him as a boy were true. In one tournament at Buxton he beat F. H. D. Wilde, C. M. Jones, and D. W. Butler in successive rounds, only going down to Adrian Quist, the great Australian player, in the final, after a good fight.

AVERY one-sided football match was witness-

ed at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon when the Army defeated the Navy by 3 goals to 1 in the first match of the Kotewall Cup series before a large gathering-of sailors and soldiers, His Excellency the General Office Commanding the Troops, Major-General A. W. Bartholomew, accompanied by his A.D.C., being present.

The Navy fielded almost a new side and were hopelessly at sea from start to finish. Wolverson, at left-back, was their best player, but he too experienced one of his poor days. On the other hand, the Army settled down quickly and netted their first two goals inside the first 10 minutes of the game.

The Navy custodian, Harved, a newcomer to local soccer, was very nervous and repeatedly dropped the ball, although he improved in the latter stages. Harris, the right back, was inclined to stray, and consequently gave Wolverson very little. support. Bower was the pick of the intermediate line, but his feeding was very poor.
