NEW YORK, January 15.-The

be without l0-goal polo player
for the first time since 1916, when
the United States Polo Association
announces the new handicap ratings
today.
Although no official information
was forthcoming after the meeting
of the Executive and Handicap COM
mittees yesterday, it was reported
that Thomas Hitchcock, jr. handi-
capped at 10 goals since 1922, would
be lowered to 9 goals. together with
Cecil Smith Of Llano, Tex, while
Elmer Boeseke. jr., of Santa Barbara,
Calf, who also was handicapped at
10 goals last year, would be lowered
to 8.
Winston Guest of New York, dropped
to 8 goals in 1882. was expected to
regain the 9-goal ranking he held
through 1929. 80 and 81.
It also was expected that Michael
Phipps and William Post, ID, who
rode with Guest and Jimmy Mills
on Eastern intersectional champion
ship team last September, would be
rewarded with a boost from Z to 8
goals. Mills already is handicapped 8.

FILM BAN Is UPHELD
BY u. S. TENNIS BODY
Won't Support Britain in Move
to Permit Amateurs Getting
Pay in Movies.

NEW YORK, January 15.-The
~ British Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion cannot look to the United
States Lawn Tennis Association for
support in the movement indorsed
by the English body to have rescinded
rule prohibiting amateur players
from receiving compensation for ap-
pearing in lawn tennis action films.
Such plan is under way today,
sponsored by the Czechoslovakian As
sociation and indorsed by the B. L. T.
A. in an effort calculated by officials
close to the game to take the mind
of Fred Perry, Great Britain's world
singles champion, of professional ten
mis- and motion picture offers that
have been waved before his sparkling
black eyes for the last year.
While the. United States Lawn
Tennis Association has not received
any official notification of Czecho-
slovakia's motion to delete the Inter-
national Federation's rule regarding
motion picture acting, Walter Merrill
Hall, president of the U. S. L. T. A.,
made it plain today that he is de-
fnitely opposed to the idea.
Il can see no reason for such q
change" Hall said. Another official
of the American association said the
motive behind it is $50 transparent"
as to make it unworthy of consider
alton.
As matters stand now. the motion
cannot come up at the March meet
ing of the International Tennis Fed,

not filed before September 80. On
the other hand should Great Britain
