NET MEN SHOW PATRIOTISM.
Maj. Adee Directs Attention to Work
of Tennis Players.

The most important and significant
development of the lawn tennis season
just ended was the patriotic response
of the players and clubs throughout the
United States to the call of their coun-
try" says Maj. George T. Adee. presi-
dent of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association.
This is shown not only in the large
number of ranking players and those
of lesser prominence in the lawn tennis
world who are with the colors, but by
the activity of clubs in working to fur

1T would have been impossible for
the National Association to finance and
man two ambulance. sections which
have been presented to the government
without such interest and cooperation.
No one can forecast the Developments
of next year, but the National Aseocia-
ton believes 1t will be for the - in
terests Of our nation to follow onicial
advice from Washington and stimulate
competition.

move in this direction, and there is rea-

would be suicide to pitch an approach

golfers on courses near the coast line
can pitch bali to the putting green
and be sure Of its staying somewhere
near where it drops, which, If done in
august on the ordinary greens of the
middle west, notably on certain courses
about Chicago. would spell trouble for
the player. Virtually all the young
sters who have shown promise in the
west in the past five years employ the
crouching style of swing, as witness
Francis r. Blossom, Kenneth Edwards
and many others, while the Marston,

upright to the ball. Frank Dyer prob
ably is the only player Of prominence
in the east who crouches to the ball.

There have been rumors for some time
that all was not harmony in the nomi-
mating committee. Differences, it Is
said, led to the retirement Of Edwin
Sheafe of Boston, as it's head. He was
replaced by Fred G. Jennings Of Phila-
delphia. while James S. Cushman and
Charles Garland retained their places
The retirement of George T. AIDE, who
received a commission in the Army rs a
major, leaves the head OF the ticket
open.
Hoskins. a former vice president, who
previously had served the association
as secretary, is one of the best known
of all the officials now in the field.
Torrey is reported to be cooperating
with Hoskins. and the two have begun
an active campaign to obtain proxy
votes. They are engaged in a canvass
that threatens to sweep the western
clubs their way, and is expected to turn
the tide in their favor.
So far Myrick has made no effort to
gain supporters, although his friends
are beginning to obtain favorable ac-
ceptance of his candidacy. Hoskins and
Torrey. together with the support that
Jennings is arousing for them, are
making the most of the fact that IL
was chiefly Myrick who stood out for a
rigid enforcement of the new amateur
rule that was proposed a year ago.
They point to the fact that he IN

Kent. graduate manager OF athletics,
has to say:
AT Cornell we do not care whether
or not we ever win a game in any
thing. il that is to be the considera-
ton for the abandonment Of athletics.
We went in for our regular schedule
in foot ball last fall knowing that we
were due for some good beatings We
expected to get them and we did. but
that does not deter us from future
competition. Our only fear when We
started the foot ball season was the
possible attitude of the student body
toward a team 80 weak 1t could not
win from its ordinary opponents. How
ever, the students realized conditions.
realized the great handicaps we were
under because Of lack OF material.
and I doubt IL we have ever had q

rowing practice has been held as usual
and more men have taken part in
track and field than ever before. In
fact SO many men are out for track
that we have had al regular meet every
Saturday afternoon and will continue
the meets. II the intercollegiates are
held this spring we shall enter men.
though there is a possibility that we
may have to compete in that meet
after the close of the university. We.
like nearly all other land grant col

thing next year other than to go

tical1y its whole team Of the previous
year was in the service, and 1T made
no attempt. to get men furloughed to

taken a stand that should be a model
