ALLISON SAYS

LONDON. July 81. R-As far as
England'S complacent tennis fans
and experts are concerned, America
has no reason to feel badly ove its
d~emoralizing 5 TO 0 defeat In the
Davis Cup challenge round.
The challengers, as the English
see II, put up a stout fight against
overwhelming odds.

"As long as England had Fred
Perry and Bunny Austin tc play
four out Of five matches. America
nor any other country has a chance
Of winning"
The English still have high admir-
alton for Allison and John Van
Ryn and got into esstacies ever Don
aid Budge's backhand stroking when

visage any danger from the Ameri-
can material so far unveiled.
Members Of the American colony
expressed disappointment over the
failure OF the Americans &c win a
single match. but most OF them re-
fused to blame the debacle on the
makeup Of the team.
A few felt strongly that Wood
should have been named in the sin
giles. Bill Tilden. the professional
and veteran OF many a Davis Cup
war. was particularly outspoken on
this point.
Even before Allison told the AS
ISOLATED Press he thought he was
through as a Davis Cupper, It was
obvious TO all that he was singing
his swan song against Perry.
Bulge, by contrast, left the i'm
