SHORT WAVE RECEPTION

TAKES ON A NEW MEANING

BRITAIN HAS A with this Mullard

CHANCE

(By Fred Perry)

For the Lamión "Morning out"

Pittsburgh, U.S.A. Although we are still in the riddle of winter and Davis Cup play does not start until May, every trunis enthusiast throughout the world-is starting to predict the outcome of the 1937 competition. Even though these predictions pre somewhat premature, it must be obvious even to a layman follower of the game that the competition will be an extremely open affair this year, However, I defy anyone to name the winner right now. There are per- haps thirty-two nations from which to choose, but it is generally agreed, and quite rightly so, that the ultimate winner will be found among Great Britain, United States, Germany, and Australia.

The average man will Immediately say that Britain appears to have Ittle chance to defeat any of the other three. On the face of it things look that way, but when you examine the matter more closely I think you will agree that the British have as much chance as any of the others.

the the time In which During Davis Cup team was composed of Austin, Hughes and myself, all we had to do was to find a partner for Hughes in the doubles. We were in the same position as the French had been for six years previously, und so none our so-called "Davis Cup ponsibilities" thought it worth while to train like mad in an effort to oust one of us, because they knew it was hopeless.

The result was that we found our- selves without anyone netually ready to step into the breach in case of trouble. I turned professional and the trouble was there, but it must be remembered that there are still seven months to go before the competition becomes vital as far as Briinin is concerned, as they have to play only the challenge round at the end of July. In that time I am positive that someone will come along, even as quickly na I, myself, did six yours ago. 1 look forward confidently to July, knowing at there will be someone to fight to keep that Cup in just the same way, we fought to keep it in the last three years.

America, too.

the are in much same position, though I must confess hey have more talent on hand from which to choose their second singles player. Budge is certain to play one Is the single, and just as eerlin selection of Budge and Mako for the doubles. But they still have to find a suitable player to take care of Uhe second match. They have a wealth of talent in the older school, and such of the players as Riggs and Hunt younger school. But they have a dimeult task on hand.

If their choice, whoever he is, falls, then they have made a mistake. This is, indeed, great burden to put on any player, particularly a young Two Meulties will have to be

Navy And Air Force Play Three-All Draw

London, Feb. 20. The annual encounter at Twicken- ham to-day between the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force rugger teams resulted in a three-all draw. The game was played before a fair at- tendance,

The quality of the play was scrappy, The Air Force made strong attacks and handled the ball better, but the Navy was resolute in defence. The Air Force opened the scoring with a penally gon] by Pratt in the first half. The Navy equalised 12 minutes before time when Hurden. went over, but his try was not con- verted.
