midsummer afternoon when
a the United States will defend
the Davis Cup for the first time since
Rene Lacoste and Henri Cochet Of
France took 1t away from German
town in 1927, but the indications are
that last years triumphant players
will get the task of defending the
trophy.
There's no doubt that Don Bulge
will be the No. l man. Bryan (Bitsy)
Grant, who swore he'd never try it
again after the lickings he took in
the 1897 inter-zone finals, already has
tossed his hat in the ring. The other
candidates are frankie Parker, who
replaced Grant as the second singles
player against England; Bobby Riggs,
who didn't make the team last year,
but won the national No. 2 ranking;
Gene Mako, Budge's doubles partner,
and Wayne Sabin, the versatile player
who went to England last summer as
the teams "sparring partner"
Shoulder Fine, Bulge Writes.
THE winter tour of Australia which
Bulge and Mako got as q reward
for their efforts has caused some
worry in tennis circles, as has Budges
shoulder injury, but according to word
recently received by Walter Pate, last
years Davis Cup captain, Don isn't
bothered about either.
MY shoulder has healed completely
and once again I'm relieved" Bulge
wrote. I'm surprised at how we'll I'm

While Bulge might have profited
by q winters rest in the opinion of
many, the results Of his matches indi-

protests because Of his Indifferent at

HOWARD NOT TO
QUIT FOOTBALL

Alumni and undergraduates Of
Howard University, as well as
their host of followers, need have
no fears that football will be
abandoned at the LeDroit Park
institution. The student body
has filed a petition favoring the
game, the board of athletic con-
troll has voted for its retention,
and Howard's trustees did like
wise. The following assurance
in behalf of football was given
out:
"That we go ON record as re-
scinding the action relative to
the discOntinuance of intercOl-
legiate football at Howard Uni
versity, and in reScisiOn suggest
that the cause and purpose of
this action were primarily to
obtain the reaction of the
alumni, student body and foot
ball team relative to their at
titude on the football situation,
and of focusing their attention
ON the same; and since the
presentation of the petition by
the students of Howard Uni
verSity, and since the opinion
seems to favor the continuance
of football, and in full appre-
citation of the students desire,
this action is taken"

for the oversight, a Scot back
late in the game bounced a pass
off the chest of a man we con-
tended was ineligible. The pic
lures confirmed our contention.
I recall an older case where
everybody but the cameraman
missed an official blunder. An
Army end received a pass and
was tackled on our goal line. A
touchdown was awarded with
out question. Later, in the pic
lures, someone noticed that the
Cadets knee had struck the
ground just before he skidded
into the end zone; technically
the ball was down on the one
yard line.
Against Minnesota in 1897 we
maintained that the timekeepcr
had prematurely fired his gun.
The motion picture of the score
board showed that there were so
seconds to play when time was
called.
CAMERAMAN MISSED 1T
Sometimes even the cam
eraman slips and a disputed
decision is never cleared up. A
few years ago we pulled an old
trick play on Northwestern,
the one where the quarterback
gets into az argument with his
fullback and the ball is passed
to q half as the quarterback
walks back to shake his finger
at the fullback.
Coach Dick Hanley insisted
that some member of our team
was illegally in motion and
summoned a number of persons
to witness the filmed proof
thereof. But the play in ques-
tion was not in the record. All
during this game we had been
muffing signals. When the
photographer saw Quarterback
Bonar start back on the trick
play he quit grinding-he
thought it was another Irish
blunder.
The next year we experienced
a little reciprocity. The referee
called back a touchdown and
penalized Right Guard Pepper
Martin for holding. The pic
