When watching a good tennis player watch him section by section, so to speak. Take his feet first. Sit as close to the court as you can, and concentrate solely on those feet, not bothering about who is winning the game.-H. B. T. Wakelam.

It seems to me a pity that there are so few players of Wight- man Cup or Davis Cup standard outside the English border. I am sure that this is due to lack of opportunity rather than to lack of keenness or ability. The ability which must be there is not always given the chance to emerge from the chrysalis stage.

Tilted tees will be one of the best ways of making golf a real test, and I hope that some club will have the initiative to try them out. I know this idea will meet with a round of laughter, but it is not so stupid as it seems at first. At least every tilted tee will make a new hole. It would be cheaper to construct a few big dome- shaped tees. Then the teeing discs could be moved around thêm, as desired. Think it over!Henry Cotton.
