M. Borotra, who was the guest of honour, referred to the necessity for lawn tennis players, especially young players, to maintain a sunse of proportion on the subject of the part played by sport in lile.

Subsequently, in a talk with a Moring Post representative at the Curlton Hotel, M. Borotra ampli- fed his remarks.

"There is a danger in these: modern times of the youth, who read of and see the champions of sports as idols, feeling that they should devote their life to attempt- ing to equal or emulate them," he Kaid.

"But it would be a great pity if the youth of this country, hs & result of what they read and hear, were to grow up with an idea that to become a champion is as desir able as to continue in study or business. I know well that z boy who excels in one sport or another may have difficulty in avoiding tho demands that may be put upon him by his school, his college, and ulti- mately his country. But I do say emphatically that there are prob- ably not anore than, say, one in a thousand, who should adopt this

course,

"It should be possible for boys to know whether they are likely to be really successful in a particular sport. Then they have ha excuse to go on with it. But if they are in doubt about their ability, or if they are uncertain whether they will be successful, may advice is to give it up, without wasting further time. Even if they decide to con- tinue, they should and time to com- plete their studies.
