tour after being defeated in the ma

British stars are booked to meet Oui-

AMERICANS SPECULATE
ON BRITISH net TEAM

WIMBLEDON, England, July 13.-
There Is considerable speculation on
the choice OF the players who will
face the United States Davis Cup
team for England in the matches
which start here Thursday. IL is ex-
pected that J. c. Parxc, who defeat ed
Johnston in the Wimbledon All-Com-
ors' tourney, will play in singles and
that either A. r. +. Kingscote or
Michael MavroEordhto will play in the
other singles.
Randolph Jycett and Parke or II.
Roper Barrett and Kingscote may
play in doubles against the Ameri-
cans. 1t IL expected that the United
states team will win handily despite
tho combination put In the field by
the English authorities.
Official tennis men here think the
Americans will be beaten, but the
critics are giving the United states
team all the matches. Tilden and
Johnston will play In singles and
probably in doubles.

VI. q. Byrd, director OF athletics at.
University OF Maryland, plans big
things for his charges this year.
With facilities which the College
Park men have wanted these past
years, the athletic development 10 ex-
pected to go far forward.
Coaches will be provided for the
Various teams. state Will be amply
provided for as far as playing space
lis concerned. In addition. a big gym
nasium will be under way shortly and
IL Is expected that this will be com
pleted within the year.
GYMNASIUM GOES UP.
The athletic plant, for such II will
be, is TO be located on the Baltimore
pike at College Park = ust across the
road from the present baseball and
football held. The gymnasium VIII
also be located near the new fieid.
The stands will parallel the pike
and will have dressing and shower
rooms under them. Parking space
for automobiles will be provided for
along the Baltimore pike.
with such a plant in operation
the University of Maryland Is ex-
| pected TO branch out in basketball
| as well as track athletics. There has
been no track team at College for
| the past three years. venture in
ba sketball two years ago was made
| for the sole purpose OF keeping the
game alive for Catholic University,
George Washington and Gallaudet in
the District Intercollegiate League
during the war period.
| with the new gymnasium and
track the Marylanders expect to cut
some figure in indoor track and
bask etball. II is expected that dual
track meet will be held next spring.
Work Is being done on the track
at College Park now. A gang Of
tworkmen Is busy and with any kind
of luck the cinder track will be in
shape for some sort of work on 1t
by the track team this fall.
SCHEDULE IS TOUGH.
In football the Maryianders have =
tough schedule. With such teams as
| Rutgers, Syracuse, Georgetown and
| Princeton. to say nothing of the usual
South Atlantic teams like Hopkins, st.
Johns College. Virginia Poly and
Catholic University, Coach Byrd is ex-
| pecting to have his hands full.
1t is probable that "A preliminary
call for candidates will be issued Sep
tember 8, although real practice is not
expected to start before September 15.
The vanguard of the players may be
called in somewhat early, as Rutgers
and Princeton are taken on at the
start of the season in what promises
| to be pair of tough battles.
State made an auspicious start in
| lacrosse and tennis this year. In
baseball the team proved to be an ex-
ceptionally good one. With track and
basketball revived in addition to the
regular football and baseball teams,
State expects to be represented in all
branches next year.
