historic bowl from the clutches Of the
challenging nations. II things were os
they were last year the task OF naming
defenders would not be a difficult one.
for tho committee would simply name
Norris Williams az the other singles
player and look around for some one
else TO take Harold Hackett's place In
the doubles II the latter found that he
could not get into condition for the team.
Things, however. are different this
year, and the latest obstacle In the path
OF the men who must pick the team is
the inability OF Williams to get into the
form that made him member OF the
team last year. The main thing that
has been the trouble with williams has
worked against all OF the best tennis
players In the East, and that is the tate
spring which has kept the players from
early practice.
Some followers OF the game seem to
think that Williams has struck n slump,
for although he has won regularly this
season he has not done much playing
and his scores snow that he II not going
at the speed he ought TO. Those who
figure Williams to be In slump Icel that
he cannot possibly get going right in time
for the matches.
II Williams had not youth In his favor
there might be some reason for believing
that he could not come back, but the young
Harvard student Is not long out of his
teens and being a conner should be able To
