Football and Greek
A Plan 10 UpHff

Percy Rauehton and Leo ioary have
decided TO give some thought to the
nronosition made by Dean Lo Baron
Briggs. Of Harvard, TO handle foot
ball squad in the same manner m
which professor would handle class
in Greek. II is understood that there
has been a counter proposal made al
the Harvard club that the Greek pro
fossors try handling their classes after
che stvle Of the football coaches.
The manner Of tho football coach is
b-usk and frequently vehement. i IS
effective. though. and worth trying TO
demonstrate. once that football methods
could produce better Greek. it rs ad-
mitted that tho Greek OF Harvard rs
nothing 10 brag about while the foot
ball Of Cambridge is the envy Of all
other institutions OF learning
Applying the football method, 'he
professor would first take his Greek
SQUAD for half-milc turn around
soldiers Field. Then he would put
them through 4 few simple passing
exercises in syntsX.
After that there would naturally
come some brief scrimmages in Homer
for tho frst-line team men. This
would be the point where the professor
would have 10 use a little vehement
language. Il might be a little startling
10 hear a learned prof burst into
little speech like this:
you big simp, is that the way
10 read Homer? What in blankety
blank did tell YOU when you were
in the Nenophon Squad? And you
are one Of the birds that Walter
Namp picked for the All-ereek
team. Ah-Greek Dash. Turn in
YOUR Homer and your Greek gram
mar and go back TO the Nenophon
SQUAD till YOU learn some Of the
rudiments Of Greek. You're of the
training table. too. How in the
name of blankety dash blank can
they expect me 20 turn out r win
ming creek class when they give
me a lot of dashed boneheads like
that"
Dean Briggs also brought out the
fact that noise and zeal were part Of
football. To give football methods
fair trial in working for better Greek,
10 would be well 20 have some noise
and zeal on the side lines while the
Homcric and Ncnophonic squads were
being put through their drill
When q student makes an end run
around difficult passage IN Homer
the organized cheering section should
give five "Rahsl" and his name. The
successful tackling OF an elusive sub
junctive also should call for some
vociferous notice In that way the
interest in the betterment OF Greek
would become n matter Of interest 20
undergraduates who are not partici-
pants in the gruelling sport.
OF course the progress in Greek Will
never equal the progress made in foot
ball until every ablehodied student IN
the college is on some Greek squad
or other. For those who are not
physically adequate 70 the strain of
Homer there should be lighter squads
in the Anabssis. Then the men who
fail TO make the llliad team will at
least get the benefit Of the exercise.
Il seems simple enough 70 apply the
football methods 20 a Greek squad,
but the problem Of handling a football
squad according 10 the methods of
class IN Greek is yet TO be worked out.
at cant be DONE" SAID one Of the
coaches, savagely. IF We aren't al
lowed to express ourselves we'd die
of apoplexy."

Splinters and Cinders
,By A. c. CAVAGNARO~~

Contrary 10 expectations, the entry
for the junior national indoor cham
pionship games, TO be held at Buffalo
on next Monday night, is the smallest
since the inception of the contests.
When the meet was granted 20 the
Bison City it was expected that the
clubs of the Middle West would take
advantage OF the opportunity 10 send
their members 10 the games. IL was
also intimated that IL would lend a
stimulus TO the sport, as the contests
have never before been held outside of
this city.
Unfortunately, this has not proved
the case. According 10 the entry list
announced from the local headquarters,
only ffty-one athletes will start in the
twelve individual events. exclusive OF
the medley relay race. OF this number
almost forty hail from the Metropoli-
tan Association. The Illinois Athletic
Club will start its only representatives
in the relay race, while the Pittsburgh
Athletic Association has one member
competing in two events. Syracuse
University will start about FIVE ath-
letes, while Cornell has named one.
IL Is probable that the hvemile run
will be eliminated, as James ". Plant,
OF the Long Island Athletic Club, who
was named as the only rival TO Charles
Pores, OF the Millrose Athletic Associa-
ton, has declared that he will start in
the tyo-mile run instead. The relay
race is expected to furnish the best
competition, with the fast Boston Ath-
letic Association team OF J. Leo Foley,
Harry +. Mahoney, J. ". Ryan and
W. F. Greene matching strides with the

BINzEN DEFENDS
TITLE ON INDOOR
COURTS TO-DAY
O'Boyle, of Georgetown,
Will Oppose Junior Ten
MS Champion
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

Elliott II. Binzen. OF Fordham Uni
versitv. PLAYING through champion, will
defend his title on tho courts Of tho
9TH Regiment Armory at 10 o'clock this
morning IN the final round Of the Sec
ond annual national junior indoor lawn
tennis championship tournament HIS
opponent will be Henry b. O'Boyle. Of
Georgetown University.
Binzen won his way TO the final
brackets yesterday by defeating Ben
jamin II. Letson, national boy cham
pion. in the fifth round by a score Of
s 3. 6-s. s 4. and then eliminating
Francis W. Hopkins, OF Yale Univcr-
sity, in the semi-hnsl round, at -,
6 4. O'Boyle came through by vic
tories over Frank VI. Loughman, Of tho
West Side Tennis Club, at ., 3,
and over Herbert L. Bowman, New York
Athletic Club. by score Of 3, 6 3.
Hopkins Brothers Win

7. W. Hopkins and his brother, r. L.
hopkins. defeated F. Dornheim and d.
r. Blankarm at 81, II ., while in
the lower bracket Rowland b. Hsines
and Willard Botsford, Of Columbia Uni
,ersity. defeated Binzcn and Lctson by
score Of s s, 8. 6 /. The win
ners will meet for the championship
after the finish OF the singles match
this morning.
In view Of the results in the singles
Yesterday IL is difficult 10 prophesy
who will be victorious when Binzen and
O'Boyle meet to-day. We are inclined
to give O'Boyle a shade the better Of
it. solely because he seems able TO
adapt his game more easily to existing
conditions than the champion.
In the match against Bowman the
Georgetown student started in by try
ing to play his opponent from deep
court Finding that the powerful drives
the Mount Vernon player kept ripping
through his court were trfe too
speedy and hard to handle, O'Boyle
changed his style completely and
charged for the net at every oppor-
tunity.

Bowman Shows Faults

Times without number O'Boy r.
caught Bowman out Of position in fore
court with low volleying shots direct
10 his opponents feet as the latter
came to the net II was Bowman :
failure TO follow in fast on his own
service that aided in his defeat. This
gave O'Boyle time 10 make his return
Of service and then gain the net, and
once at the barrier he worked with the
skill of veteran.
Desperate, Bowman made several at
tempts in the later stages of the match
to play the net game. but O'Boyle gen
orally stopped these sallies with brill
liant passing shots, sometimes down the
side lines, sometimes by sharp-angled
volleying shots across the court.
Binzen and Letson were so evenly
matched that il was a toss-up which
would win until the final point had
been decided. The champion has a
natural liking for the net position, and
il was his persistency in going for the
barrier that finally won for him. No
matter how hard and deep Letson sent
his forehand drives whipping over the
net. Binzen forced his way UP TO vol
leying position. showing great steadi-
ness overhead.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-30
Many Sizzling Rallies

In the second set Letson charged the
net more frequently. even when taking
Binzen's pulling reverse twist service
and then the two youths engaged m
many sizzling rallies. Binzen eventually
attempted TO drive Letson back by lob
bing tactics. but most Of these shots
were short. and Ben simply murdered
the ball, smashing with viciousness
that brought applause from the gallery
Before Binzen could steady down Let
son had won the second set at 8 and
ovened the score.
In the third set the champion mixed
ID his game cleverly. alternating low
deep drives for the sides with high
lobs TO the base line. Letson found
these balls difficult to handle effective
~, but. even so, he forced Binzcn TO
his limit so win the last set at 6-4
