FRENCH TEAMS CHOSEN

Paris, Feb. 4.-The French tennis federation in an effort to win for France more Olympic points than it feels assured of by Suzanne Lenglen's play in the womeR's Singles, has al- ready chosen the mems doubles team, and has laid down strict instructions for practice.
 Rene Lacoste and Jean Borotra compose one pair. Henri Cochet and Jacques Brungnon the other. The pairs have been chosen with a view of offsetting the weaknesses of each man. Thus Borotra, a slashing, dash ing net player. Is paired with l.a- eoste, 2 steady. hard driving base liner, and Brugnon, an extremely brilliant player but very cratic at times, win fnd a remarkably steady ing influence in Cochet's cool, clock like game.
 The players have been directed to pair with one another in all doubles matches in which they engage be- fore the Olympic games. Each pair Is also asked 10 oppose the other wherever possible, so as 10 provide the stiffest opposition possible.

 It has been many moons since a New Britain team in any branch of sports has administered such a beat ing to Hartford outfit.

 There is a possibility that the New Britain High school team will stack up against the Wesleyan freshman team at the Armory Saturday.
 "Dickie" German was not eligible for the game Saturday, but will be ready to play this week. There is doubt as to who will start at right guard in sthe game since both Grip and German are first class men.
 In the four games played by the team this year not one of the Red and Gold men has been put out on personal fouls. This is an unusual record and the team is out to keep 1t up.
