absence Of Herb Collins, who was killed
In an airplane accident. Collins was
the best player In any college last year.
Had he been a stronger boy and heavier
l would say he was the best player I
had ever seen. He had more polo brains
than all the other players in the league
put together"
Three Regular Veterans
Murdoch is the captain and one of
the backs.s Bud Fisher Ia the goalkeeper
and ranks with the best. These two,
with FAIRIES, were regulars last season.
Bill Tandy and Warehouse were sub
stitutes In 1918. OF the two Tandy
has shown the better form In prac.
tice. He is a bit shy In weight. but
Ia not shy one grain on sand. The three
frst-string subs this year are Beck
with. Strasser and Harberger.
On March z the Quaker six plays
c. c. n. Y. in New York n the fol-
lowing night meets Columbia The last
meet of the season will be with Prince
ton at Princeton. Coach Kistler Is vir-
tualiy sure Of winning every match ex-
cept the Tiger battle. The Jersey In
stitution always has a good team, and
there is no reason to believe that this
year will be an exception.
As is the case In swimming, no cham
pionship is at stake and the polo league
has virtually been disbanded for this
season. Next year.. however, It Is very
likely that an ante.war schedule will be
framed.

Ichiya Kun1agae Says Ne,U-
conner Is Star and viii
Arrive in Time to Enter
Summer Journeys
NAME IS
By ROBERT T. PAUL


A MOTHER Japanese tennis star is
"A planning to invade this country.
According to word received recently by
Ichiya Kumagae. the Far Eastern sem
%sation. who now represents the West
Side Tennis Club of New York. this
player will reach this country in time
to compete in many of the spring tourna-
ments.
The new players name is Yamazaki.
As for the pronunciation one should
not even guess at It until after re-
ceiving n lesson from either Kamagae
or Selichiro Kashio. No doubt there
will be as many different pronuncia-
tons of this name as there are or ku-
magae.
Different Opinions
The only dope on Yamazaki's ability
is that furnished by Kumasae and
Kashio. Itchy" says that Yamazaki Is
a star of the first order. Kashio, how
ever. claims Yamazaki Is only an aver
age player. With only two guesses local
tennis players should have little diff
Guilty In forming a correct opinion OF
Yamazaki's proves.
Paul Gibbons, president of the Phila-
delphia and District Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. and holder of many Beach
Haven titles. said that Kashio defeated
Yamazaki in Japan and only his mod
esty prevents him from saying that the
new conner Is a star.
Rarely Came to Net
Some interesting facts as to why
Kumagae and Kashio were so unused to
the American style of net play was
given out by Kashio while watching the
Middle States Tournament on the
Wanamaker Store roof the other after
noon. When Kumagae and Kashio first
came to this country they rarely left
the base line n lost many points as
a result.
Last season both Kumagae and
Kashio endeavored to correct this weak
ness. They devoted many hour to
practicing at the net. Their play on
the whole, especially that of Kumagae
fell off to a marked degree. This season
they expect to master the American
style Of net play. and II they do they
VIII be more dangerous than ever.
Doubles More Popular
1t seems that double matches are more
popular than singles In Japan. Every
one likes to play doubles. a m are
formed and the combinations sometimes
last several seasons. Instead of both
coming to the net. as the Americans do,
one remains at the base line and the
other at the net virtually all the time.
In this manner the base line player
rarely gets a chance to play at the
net.
Kumagae and Kashio were members
Of different teams n both took care
of the base line position. This accounts
for their tendency to play a steady back
court game. Another oddly about the
Japan play is that a match consists of
the best out Of five games instead of
three sets OF six games each.
