The new threat against the Wightman cup has brought forth opinions from a number of the wo- men who have played for it. Miss Helen Jacobs has expressed herself in these words.

"*"The Wightman cup has become a tradition. Personally, I should hate to think of these - English- American matches ever being dis- continued. I look forward to them with great pleasure, every year. However, I do, feel that a new cup of some sort should be initiated for înternational competition,”
