...month younger than Parker. Son of a Mudgee, N. S. W., farmer, he beat Vines in Australia last winter, spry little Jiro Satoh in last summer's Davis Cup matches. Unlikely to get far at Forest Hills, the experience will help him become, with Crawford, the mainstay of Australia's Davis Cup team...

Especially this last season has he been a mainstay of the squad, for he could outstrip his teammates on any assignment from the 440-yard dash to a two-mile jaunt, and was always available in case of emergency to fill a gap on any middle distance run and do such a good job that the loss of the scheduled man was felt to the minimum...

Jenning's best time is 34 3-5 seconds, which mark all three Harvard contestants have equalled at one time or another during the season. The 50-yard dash is expected to be perhaps the closest race...
