 The debates of the past may be revived little later on when it comes to deciding just what is 10 be done about sending a team 10 Eur ope but that, all hands agree, can be put aside while energies are con- oentrated oa the play in the Ameri- can zone
 For the present the decision is made. There will be only one Amer lean team and it's full strength, which means the presence of Big BiN' will be tossed into the zone competition against Mexico. China and probably Japan. Tilden has yielded to the call for his services, not only to lend his individual strength as the country's No. 1 man but to begin the task that America now faces in tho Davis cup play building from the ground up with an eye to the future as well as to the present.
 In the combination role of cap tain and coach. 1ilden will call the roll next Monday at Augusta, Ga, where the first tennis training camp in American tennis history will be established.
 Tilden will have sole authority ill selection of the American Davis cup team. He has taken orders for eight years of international competition. but this year he will be the chief strategist as well as the chief per former.
 Little Bill' Johnston, long Til den's partner in international 'ri- umph. seems definitely out of the Davis cup picture. This was taken somewhat for granted last Sep,em- Der after the Californians downfall in the challenge round with France. but talk of another comeback hy Little Bill was revived over the "ip- ter. Now. however, with Johnson from the spring training squad and the American zone play. it does not appear likely he will be called on later.
