Barring UpSets These Two Will
 Battle in Davis Cup Play

New York, March ls OP) - Cn- less there Is q sensational upset in form, France and Japan. as repre- sentatives of the European and American zones. will fight it out again next August for the right to oppose the United States in the challenge round for the Davis cup, international team tennis trophy.
 Frances foremost foe In the preliminary European play, involv- ing 2l nations altogether. will be Germany, now huek in the compe- tition for the first time since 1913. The luck ot the draw in Washing ton yesterday put these rivals in the lower half of the European zone. Barring upsets, they will meet in the semi-inals.
 The Franco-G erman enga gagement on the courts not only promises a dramatic feature for the tennis calendar but may develop a real battle for supremacy. Although Frances brilliant array, including Lacoste, Borotra and Cochet. seems more powerful than anything Ger many can produce, the Teutons may spring d surprise, in the opin- ion of many critics.
 The old Teuton court stars, Fro itsheim and kreuzer. who played in this country against Australia in 1913. have helped develop a num- Der of promising young stars. One of them, Dr. Landsmann, showed his skill last summer by trouncing the young American ace. Vincent Richards. in Berlin.
 Germany and France both start play in the second round, the for ner meeting Portugal while the tri-color team faces Rumania.
 Spain and Great Britain stand out in the upper half of the Eu- ropean gene. One or the other should reach the final round abroad Japan appears to have clear sailing in the American zone, es- pecially If represented again by the team of Harada and Taware that gave France bad scare In the in ter-zone finals last summer. Hara- da ranks third in the American singles list for 1926.
 Mexico, In the first round. does not figure to give much opposition to the Japanese, whose victory would pit them against the winner of the Cuba Canada contest. These four challengers complete the American zone list, from which Australia is absent for the second straight year.

The South church ran ahead to 22-2. The Center made it's biggest rally of the game and scored three field goals from strenuous scrimmage, but the half found the winners on top by 32-12.
 The second half was a repetition of the first Bell. whs had made five baskets in the earlier period, now speeded up and dropped in seven more before he was taken out. Ev- cry player on the winning side scored and scored often. Toward the end the South church set out to break the high score set last week by the Mothodists when they ran up 59 points against the Blue Army, and with less than minute to play Parker scored the basket which made the South church total 60.

 Dick Dillon, Connecticut's leading referee. will be the man on the floor tonight. Dick has been doing most of the work th's season in the National Guard and Y. M Mems factory league games and his work is expected to be the means Of mak- ing the games tonight the fastest this season,
 The lineup that has represented the American Hosiery team in every game this season and which has been changed in only one game will be called upon to make the last ef- fort for the company tonight. It has played consistently all season and if it plays as it has been doing 1t should defeat the Machine team.

The rest of the team. how ever, has not been very successful in offensive endeavors.
 The problem Of drilling the P. X: F. Corbin team into a well-oiled ma chine has taxed the ability of Pat" Coons to the extent that he will try every possible combination in the game to win. If he could get an- other player to help Ruth Johnson, in scoring 2 few points. the team might win. So far Corbins have scored 25 points Of which IS were scored by Ruth.

In the second and third games. however, the Hudsons showed a complete re- vorsal of form and crashed through with wins by scores of 15-10 and l5-7. Deodorian was the star for the winning team.
 In the second match of the night which was to decide the champion ship of the league. the Bucks took the title over the wonderful play of the Fords. The Bucks at the start had seven men on the floor but before the game got under way. one of them was sent to the show CTS.
 The rivalry between the teams was so great that a neutral referee was selected and J. Luebeck was handed the assignment. He assum-
 cd the role of policeman rather 1 than official, as several near riots were caused during the progress of the games. His decisions were given with accuracy. however. and many disputed technical arguments were settled satisfactorily. The Bucks
