case Of Noel Brown, a 26-year-
old former professional, lis
enough to give the brass in the
United States Lawn Tennis As
sociatiop a tirst-class headache.
Brown is back in the good
graces Of the USLTA. He can
play in the championship tour
naments and make the entire
summer circuit. He could wind
up the National champion. Yet
he would not be permitted to
play on the United States Davis
Cup team.
The international federation
prohibits any player who has
been a pro to perform in Davis
Cup play anywhere.
Last year, when Brown came
East and looked like a cham
pion for a time, the bigwigs
talked the matter over. But he
cooled of and there was no
trouble.
Now, many of the officials
watching the National indoor
championships which entered
the third day of play today, are
saying that this could be Browns
year. He has wealth of strokes,
