Allison and Vanßyn Likely to Win Other Squad Berths. MEET CANUCKS IN MAY Wilbur Coen Not Apt to Get Position. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY ! tilled Pr-ss -taff Correspondent. NEW YORK. April 23—Selection of the Un.ted States Davis cun team which will meet Canada in the opening American zone match at Montreal May 16. 17 and 18, is expected to be made soon. William T. Tilden and Francis T. Hunter, ranking players of this country, will not be available for the American zone matches, having announced their intention of going abroad May 8. George Lott of Chicago, ranked No. 3 in the national standings, and John Hennessey of Indianapolis, ranked fourth nationally, are the key men of the 1929 team. The other two places probably will go to Wilmer Allison of Ft. Worth, Tex. and John Van Rvn of East Orange, N. J., ranked No. 5 and No. 6. respectively. Allison was a member of the American zone squad last, year and has played brilliantly in the southern tournaments this spring. His recent victory over Hunter in the annual Mason and Dixon tournament at White Sulphur Springs, Va., makes his place on the team doubly certain. Wilbur F. Coen, Jr., the Kansas City youngster who was a substitute on the European zone team last year, is not likely to win a berth on this year's team. Coen is one of the best forehand player, in the country, but the rest of his game is weak by comparison and there is nothing to indicate that he has rounded out his strokes over the winter.

CAMPUS COMMENT — by knlte rockne

CHARLIE PADDOCK, who was called the fastest human, came out with a very interesting suggestion recently to the effect that the A. A. U. should hold "open" track meets where both professional and amateur runners could compete. He suggested that the plan nowin vogue in golf where professionals

and amateurs are allowed toco m - pete in ope n championships is a possible solution of the troublesome amateur problem. This sounds all right on paper but it can not be worked out. Paddock forgets l hat golf and track athletics arc as far apart as they can be. There is no inter-

Olympic marathon last year, and Joic Ray ran in empty pavilions around the country last fall. As many as thirty and torty years ago there was quite a bit of interest in professional sprinting. However, the gamblers spoiled this and the saps who were foolish enough to bet on their favorite runner in the old days still are numerous enough, and, remembering how they were gypped in the lod days, probably would attend with six shoters on their hips hoping to get even with someone. We have definite professional sports in this country that have become accepted by the public. Every effor is made by the promoters of these sports to keep them free from the control of the gamblers. Except for the popular pastime of wrestling they succeed fairly well. Wrestling today is just about as honest as professional foot racing was in the old days. Paddock’s suggestion is interesting but not feasible. Track athletics, irom the very nature of it. can not be anything but an amateur sport. i CopynghL 1923. for The
