Sth Africa readmitted
(N. Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) HELSINKI.
The special committee of the Davis Cup tennis nations yesterday readmitted South Africa to the competition. South Africa will enter the 1973 tournament and will compete in the South American zone in order to prevent disruption by the defaulting of various nations on political grounds. The voting figures of the seven-man committee were not immediately available, but Mr B. Franklin, vicepresident of the South African Lawn Tennis Union, said that he understood it was a “good majority.” South Africa, barred from the competition in 1970 and 1971, was readmitted at a meeting in London on January 14, but again excluded after several protests in Copenhagen on April 14.
