r YNCLE SANS hopes of re-

native shores were hurt
~ yesterday when Wilmer
Allison, No. 2 ranking player of
the country and Davis Cup vet
eran, turned his ankle in the
final of the Chevy Chase invi-
tation doubles tournament and
was carried from the court in
the arms of Frank Shields and
Lawrence Baker, secretary of the

Taken to Emergency Hospital, an
X-ray examination showed a severe
sprain which necessitated applying a
cast DR.. William Marbury, who at
tended Allison, stated that he would
be out of action for probably six weeks,
which will prevent his participation
in the Davis Cup trials, scheduled to
begin May IA.
Allison and his teammate of 100
doubles campaigns, John Van Ryn.
had taken the fist game CT their
match with Frank Shields and Lester
Stoefen and were playing the first
point of the second game when Alli-
son, who had turned to watch the
dropping of Stoefen's return, suddenly
uttered a cry of pain and clumpled
to the court.

z. Heljasz of Poland, in 1882. The
mark, however, was more than a foot
short of that set up by Jack Torrance,
Louisiana State, at the Drake relays
last Friday. Torrance threw the ball
SIS feet 11a inches.
Three meet records were shattered
and two others tied.
Foy Draper, diminutive Trojan
speedster, rushed through the 300
ward dash in 20.2 seconds, four
tenths of a second short of Roland
Locke's world mark of 20.6 seconds
set eight years ago.
He also won the century dash in
9.8 seconds. Lyman, after taking the
shotput, hurled the discus lat feet
"a inches for another first.
Sam Klopstock, Stanford's low-bar-
rier star. breezed home well in front
in 23.2 seconds, two-tenths of Sec
ond slower than Charles Brookins'
world record in the 22o-yard hurdles.

Sidney Wood, slim New York Lao
who stunned the world with VIC
tory over Jack Crawford of Aus
tralia, which proved the key
match" of the inter-zone finals,
voiced the feeling OF the American
squad.
IF we could lick Australia, we
can take England. Shields can
whip Bunny Austin, and still think
I can lick Perry" he said.
While the American group -
Wood, Frank Shields and the dou-
bles pair, Lott and Lester Stoefen-
holds what it considers as an edge
in morale over England, form play
ers Go not share their complete en-
thusiasm. The betting still favors
England at about 10 to 7.
Few observers will grant Eng
lands doubles pair, Fred Perry and
Pat Hughes, more than an outside
chance against Lott and Stoefen,
who blasted the Australians, Craw-
ford and Adrian Ouist, off the VIM
bledon turf last Monday
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-07-27

The match seems to center upon
the ability of Bunny Austin, No. 2
man on the English squad, to beat
either Shields or Wood. Shields beat
Austin in the recent all-England
play and Wood is probably the bet
ter Of the two American singles
players.
Figuring at least an even chance
for Wood and Shields against Aus
tin, and a decisive edge for the
doubles team, it would appear that
America should be even money. But
the British are hard to convince
in tennis affairs, and they stick
closely to the belief that Perry will
win two and Austin one.
The singles matches open Satur-
day with Shields facing Austin and
Perry meeting Wood. On Monday
Lott and Stoeffen will play Perry
and Hughes in the doubles and in
the final matches Tuesday Shields
will battle Perry and Wood will take
on Austin.
