The British team to do battle against the United States in the tenth Walker Cup match, which is to be played at St. Andrewa on June 3 and 4, will be as follows:-

H. G. Bentley (Hesketh) J. Bruen, Junr, (Murkorry), L. G. Crawley (Brancepeth Castle), A. T. Kylo (Sand Moor), J. J. F. Peanink (Royal Ashdown Forest), G. B.. Peters (Ferenczo), C. Stowe (Penn), Hector Thomson (Williamwood).

One more selection will be made after the amateur champion- ship at Troon which is now in progress. The Walker Cup contest consists of eight single and four foursomos.
