The Davis Cup preliminary ROUNDS

greater heights of popularity than it
scored last summer.
Early indications are that there will
be just as many nations in the chase
for that cup and the competition
should be even keener as several chal-
lenging countries are going to send
stronger teams.
Australia, for instance. has an
nounced that she will call upon her
old Davis Cup stars, Norman Brookes
and Gerald Patterson, to come to the
aid of the cause this summer.
