Committee

Devereux Milburn, Captain of the American International Polo Team; George Wharton Pepper,* U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania; Grantland Rice, sports writer. These three were last week appointed to serve on a special committee to study the player-writer rule of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association. The question at issue is: May an amateur sportsman write, if he can? Can he commercialize sport by profiting from the literary value, if any, of a name which sport has made valuable? The literary fecundity of "Big Bill" Tilden, national tennis champion, has raised the argument. Hence the dapper Senator, hence the astute poet-reporter, hence the nimble polo player. No action will be taken until the next annual meeting of the Tennis Association in February.

*Thirty-eight years ago Mr. Pepper was a member of the football eleven at the University of Pennsylvania.
