wishes of the nations which Are likely
to have teams here for the Davis cul,
contests and the clubs that will hold

Taken in consideration with the ex-

to Cornell of oxford and Cambridge
track specialists. it will be grasped
that the international aspects Of col

new significance.
Joined to this is the broadening of

of trips as drawing students to the

of combined Harvard track
