NO CHALLENGES MADE
DAVIS CUP CONTEST LAPSE FOR THE YEAR (Reed. Feb. 1, 9 a.m.) MELBOURNE, Jan. 31. As no challenges for the Davis Cup had been received up to to-day by the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia, the competition lapses for 1940 and Australia retains the cup. No challenges are expected for the duration of the war. The regulations require challenges to be received by the holding nation not later than January 31 of the year of play. Mr, H. A. Pitt, the acting-chairman, said at the annual conference of the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia to-day that it was unthinkable that Australia should be challenged in the present international circumstances.
