Connors Joins Davis Boycott

Jimmy Connors today joined John McEnroe in boycotting the U.S. Davis Cup team’s second-round match against West Germany over the requirement for a good-conduct pledge.

Connors, here to play in the Nations Cup along with McEnroe, said he will not play in the Davis Cup again because the U.S. Tennis Assn. insisted that members of the team sign the pledges. Connors also cited “personal reasons.”
