Kingscote, in a letter to- the Lawn Tennis Association, admits that : Lycett has undeniable birth qualifications to play for the British Isles, but in the spirit of the law lie should not lie included in the Davis Cup team. lie is a magnificent doubles, player,, and would undoubtedly strengthen Britain, but it would bo better to lose the Cup without .Lycett's assisaucc than to win with it, while his qualifications are not unanimously accepted, particularly by Australasia. “T suggest that , the Australasian Lawn Tennis Association be approached by letter, not by cable, with a* view to determining in a friendly spirit which country' Lycett should play for. If Australasia agrees to the British Isles’ prior, claims, then Lycett’s claim for inclusion should be considered in 1921, but not in 1920. ’ ’
