Olympic Teams

Men's and women's American Olympic tennis teams were named during the past week. Final selection depends upon the players' ability to make the trip to Europe.

Men. Captain, R. Norris Williams, II, of Philadelphia, third ranking player; William T. Tilden, II, national champion; Vincent Richards of Yonkers; Watson Washburn of Manhattan, also named as alternative captain. Alternates: Francis T. Hunter; Howard and Robert Kinsey of San Francisco; Carl Fischer of Cynwyd, Pa.

Women. Captain, Mrs. George Wightman of Brookline, Mass,; Helen Wills of Berkeley, Calif., national champion; Eleanor Goss of Manhattan, third ranking player; Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup of Wilmington, Del. Alternates: Lilian Scharman of Brooklyn; Leslie Bancroft and Edith Sigourney of Boston.

The exclusion of William M. Johnston of California and Mrs. Molla Mallory of Manhattan, who respectively rank second in the men's and women's national lists, was due to Johnston's decision not to go to Europe and Mrs. Mallory's ineligibility due to having played for Norway in 1912.

The only surprise in the selections is that of Washburn who ranks fifteenth on the national list.

Tilden and Richards, two newspaper writers, are ineligible unless they can get releases from their writing contracts during their stay abroad.
