TENNIS LEADERS WILL
ASSEMBLE FEBRUARY )
National Association Will Award
Title Journeys and Consider
Davis CUP Changes.

NEW YORK. December 1s.-The
date for the annual meeting of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton tonight was set for Saturday,
February S. Award of various ma
t1onal championship tournaments and
the 1921 Davis cup challenge round,
should the American team, now at
Auckland, win the international
trophy, will be the outstanding fea-
lures of the meeting.
1t was also announced that the
Davfstcup committee will meet Mon
day to consider proposed revisions of
the Davis cup regulations that have
been submitted by the French Lawn
Tennis Association. These relate to
the rules which shall be applied to
such matches, raising the question
whether these should be the rules of
the international federation or Of the
champion nation, as is required by
the present regulations. The French
authorities also advocate revision
of the present regulations regarding
expenses. their idea being to have a
definition of the expenses which may
properly be charged against a Davis
cup match.
One innovation that will be laid be-
fore the delegates is the draft of a
tournament circular to be issued by
the association for its members in
formation. outlining the material that
should be included in the announce
ment of sanctioned tournaments. The
executive committee in studying this
problem concluded that it was better
to have a tournament of few bona
fide entries than one with a large
number In which half the competitors
default. Accordingly il will recon-
mend in it's proposed circular that
tournament committees consider only
those entries which are submitted in
writing, accompanied by entry fees.
