Courtney Expects
Three : Mile Race
Become Fixture

ITHACA, N. Y, March 2O.-Charles
f. Courtney, veteran coach of the Cor.
nell crews and one of the foremost ad-
vocates Of the reduction Of the varsity
race at Poughkeepsie from four to
three miles, is confident that the
change will justify itself at the Hud-
son regatta on July 1 and that the
new course will meet with such favor
that the three-mile, varsity race will
become fixture.
Courtney reiterates his view that the
four-mile course is harmful to the
oarsmen, especially when there are a
number of crews entered in the race
as at Poughkeepse. With only two
crews in four-mile race, he said it
is possible for both to loaf along for
two or three miles before beginning
their squirt and the strain on the men
is consequently no greater than in a
shorter race.
The Cornell coach will have five
crews on the water next Monday, and
will keep all five here throughout the
spring recess, which begins April 1.
Although he has lost some promising
oarsmen, he still retains Shepard,
Buckley, Brewster and Daley of last
years varsity eight and Olney, Bald
win and Green, of last years fresh
man crew.
Inc OOrnell crews are ldue III SeCCluS
out on the water, as compared with last
year, when the first gig was launched
March 10. But the enforced confne-
ment to the rowing machines cannot
last much longer. Indeed, Coach Charles
E. Courtney is hopeful that some time
next week his rowing squad can bid
the gym. long farewell and begin
training in actual rowing on the mar
row stream which has boated SO many
great crews in his thirty-fye years ex-
perience at Cornell.
Courtney hopes to have four or five
crews permanently on the water by the
end of next week, and he means to- keep
them here through the Easter vacation,
which begins March 81.

Likely
To Break With
i. S. i'm Soccer

MONTREAL. March 20---Reports
that a picked team of soccer stars
from St. Louis, all American born, in
tends to tour Scandinavian countries,
with a possibility of Germany and
Austria, has disturbed soccerites
throughout Canada.
Craig Campbell, a former president
of the Dominion Of Canada Football
Association, says that it means that
the United States Football Association
has aligned itself with Norway, Swe-
den, Finland and Denmark against
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Canada, France and Belgium 1t may
also mean the breaking off of the Fed
Grafton lnternatienale and complete sew
erance of Great Britain and her do
minions from the European countries
mentioned in football.
The Dominion Football Association
is heart and soul with the old coun-
try, but if the U. S. F. A. persists in
this tour a barrier will stretch along
the border. denying the slightest inter
course and put an end, perhaps for
years to come, to all thoughts Of inter
national or intercity visits.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-21

ty-seven floor goals. Five other men
have more floor goals to their credit
than Sweeney. Porter, of Cornell,
tossed in as many as thirty-thre from
the floor
The best forward in the league, in
our opinion, was Van Slyck, of Yale.
This fellow had as keen an eye for
organization. Moreover, he was fast
and extremely shifty, and could shoot
from any angle. Best of all, he was
fine floor man. This, in fact, was his
forte.
Sweeney, on the other hand, was fed
a great many of his shots, and it must
be taken into consideration he got
more help than either Porter or Van
Slyck. Shooting is one thing; getting
the ball yourself and breaking away
from an opponent another. OF two
such players there isn't much doubt
as to which is the more valuable to
team. Many great players go unno-
ticed because they seldom take shot
or haven't the opportunity as they are
too busy doing other work.
Porter Good Floor Man
Porter was another good man on the
floor. He was fast, could mix into
scrimmages and come through with
good shot almost as we'll as Van Slyck.
He doesn't possess the foul shooting
ability Of Van Slyck or Sweeney, but
foul shooting is largely a matter of
practice. Such player is an asset to
a team, to be sure, but good shifty
player who can break loose and shoot
is of more value.
Billy Graves is capable youngster,
who easily outplayed all the other
pivot men he faced. This young fel-
low, who halls from Springfield, in
which vicinity he played a lot Of
basketball, is bound to be sensa-
tion-~-one of the greatest players Penn
ever had, in fact-before he is
graduated
In this his first year he made fine
reputation with the Red and Blue. He
knows how to get around with the
least exertion, has good eye and
is strong on defense. 1t has been
said that he. and Peck were the bull
wark of Penns defense and the shield
of the offense. Graves was second to
Porter in baskets from the floor, with
20 to his credit.
Penn can attribute much of its sue
cess OIL the court this season to the
| fact that it had the best pair OF guards
in the league In Captain Peck it
possessed undoubtedly the strongest
defensive player in the East, while
McNichoi was capable both on the de-
tense and offense. These two havc
had considerable basketball experience

Kinnon, No. 3; Bowman, No. 2; Brush,
bow
In Spaeth's estimation the first three
crews are the best average that Prince
ton has ever had, and although the
varsity itself does not stand out
greatly above the junior and third
crews, the first three men are we'll
above the average. Because of the
equality among the three boats the
coach to-day announced that he will
carry out new principle during the
spring.
1t will not be decided until a week
before the race which crew will be
chosen to compete as the varsity, the
fastest boat at that time being Sc
lected for the race of the following
Saturday. The men will be kept at
Princeton over the Easter vacation be-
cause of the late start for training pur-
poses.
A race with Annapolis on April II,
which was pending, had to be refused
by the Princeton rowing authorities be-
cause the men will not have had suf-
ficient time on Lake Carnegie to put
themselves in condition for a race SO
early. However, the Tigers will meet
the Navy on May 20 at the Schuylkill
regatta.
The Princeton freshman team will
not be as strong as the crack yearline
eight which represented the Orange
and Black last spring, but the young
sters are improving fast. The chic.
handicap in the she'll is the lightress
of the men. The freshmen are at pres
ent rowing in the following makeup:
Wright, stroke; Wigand, No. z: Mont
gomery, No. 6; Snyder, No. S. Marl-
torcugh, No. a; Hillgartner, No. 3;

Tennis Solons
Soon to Allot
Tourney Dates
Applications Indicate Most
Active Season in History;
Trip Abroad Undecided

A number of important matters will
be considered by the executive commit
tee of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association when it meets on March
~. The usual routine reports will be
brought to the committees attention
and undoubtedly much time will be
devoted to the schedule committed s
recommendations
Applications for tournament dates
already indicate very avtive season,
and the committee will have a difficult
task to avoid conflicts in the schedule.
In this connection, the executive com
mittee will doubtless hear the recon-
mendations of the Davis Cup committee
as to the matches which representa-
tives OF the United States may play
abroad.
Refusal on the part of the Belgian
authorities to change the date of the
tennis events in the Olympic games
makes it extremely improbable that the
United States will be represented
there. There is some chance, however,
that team may be sent abroad to
play in the English championship and
some Davis Cup contest, if one can
be arranged in Europe. Decision as to
that must await developments.
Date Still Unsettled
The date and place for the East Vest
match this year have not been fixed,
due to the uncertainty regarding the
foreign activities of American PLAYERS.
II the best men are not to be in the
United States until the end of August
or early in September, the match will
probably be held then.
Besides the schedule matters the
committee will have to consider appli-
cations from various sectional associ-
tions, which desire recognition un-
der the new constitutional provisions
adopted at the annual meeting.
Steps have already been taken to
organize the Missouri Valley Associa-
ton. although it is probable that this
will not be perfected in time to do
much more than get started in 1920.
similar effort is being made in the
middle states section, clubs in Phila-
delphia having taken the lead in pro-
noting this organization.
To Join Federation
The committee also will consider a
recent communication from officials of
the French association, bearing on the
part the International Federation is to
have in making the official rules. The
plan is TO pass this prerogative to the
federation, and the idea has been ac-
cepted abroad.
The Europeans desire to have the
UNITED States share in this activity of
the federation, and regret their present
inability to effect solution of the
difficulties now blocking this country.
Negotiations are in the hands of Wat
son Washburn, who represented the
United States at the conference abroad.
Plans to develop the scope of the
umpires' associations activities this
year also will be discussed From the
progress made last year it is evident
that the association fills a need in the
tennis world, and start will soon be
made in organizing it's efforts for the
coming season

With the exception of Penn, the other
Ave teams in the league were very
evenly matched. In many respects the
matches were not unlike those in foot
ball last fall, as there were several up
sets, one of the most notable being the
defeat of Princeton by Columbia at
Princeton.
In the point of attendance the game
enjoyed the greatest prosperity. Rec
ord breaking crowds witnessed practi-
cally every game in the league compe-
tition. incidentally, what is said to
be worlds record in regard to bas-
ketball attendances was established at
the 22d Regiment Armory in this city,
when nearly 10000 people paid to see

Requisites for Team
The prime requisites of an all-star
quintet are speed, handing Of the ball.
teamwork, floor play, accuracy in shoot
ing and good defensive. Keeping
these points in mind, our 1919-2c all
star five picked from the league play
ers would be: -
Forwards-Van Slyck, of Yale, and
Porter, of Cornell; Center-Graves, of
Pennsylvania; Guards-Peck and Nc
Nichol, of Pennsylvania.
1t will probably occasion some sur
prise that Mike Sweeney, Penn's right
forward, who led the league in scor-
ing, is not placed on the first team.
1t is true Sweeney has more points to
his credit than any other player, but
it must not be forgotten that he scored
ninety-three of these from the foul
line and that he registered only twen-

An Unbeatable Array

two former Penn stars, who captained
Rec and Blue fives.
An Unbeatable Array
This all-star five, we feel. could
more than hold it's own against any
team in the country. Every one of the
players is fast, each is an expert
handler of the ball, knows the value
OF teamwork, is a good shooter, and,
above all, all are clever in floor play,
dribbling, passing and cutting.
On the second team Sweeney and
johnson, the colored flash of Columbia,
are named as the forwards. Hamill, Of
Yale, who was one of the few to hold
Graves close, is placed at center. and
Wlttmer, who was a power in Prince
TONS backfield on the gridiron, and
Browne, of Dartmouth, are the guards
Brown was the outstanding star of the
Green five; in fact, he was more than
half the team, and while doing the bulk
of the floor work he managed to make
more baskets than any other guard
and finished fourth in the standing.
He is clever all-round player.
In choosing an all-Eastern team we
have placed Howard Cam, of New York
University, probably the best player in
intercollegiate ranks this year, and
Van Slyck in the forward POSITIONS;
Mooney, Of New York, at center, and
Peck and McNichol as guards.
Mooney is a wonderful player, who
made an excellent running mate for
Cam. The former scored 228 points
during the season. These two ran wild
in virtually every contest in which
they played and hooped the ball for
more than half dozen double-count
ers apiece. Both fill every require
ment
Cam, particularly, was a real star.
Weighing 1856 pounds, fast as the fast
est, shitty and possessing an eagle
optic for the hoop, he proved a tough
customer to all guards. He himself
was guard of stellar caliber. His per-
formance in the national tournament
al Atlanta won for him the individual
cup for being the best player
= On the second all-Eastern team DON
ovan, OF Lehigh, and Ball, Of c.. c.
n. Y, are placed as forwards. They
are little fellows who meet all require
ments. Graves gets the center position
and Baker, Of N. Y. u, and Cottrell,
of Colgate, are named the guards.
Donovan, who halls from Philadelphia,
played with McNichol in prep school,
and, like the Red and Blue star, has
had the benefit of Lou Sugarman's
teaching. Ball is fast and has a good
eye, and Baker and Cottrel are two
heavy fellows who are strong on de-
fense.

PRINCETON, N. j., March 19-1n
spite of a formidable array of expert
oarsmen available for the Tiger crews,
DR.. Spaeth, faculty coach. is facing the
most serious situation in his ten years
at the head Of Princeton rowing. Lake
Carnegie is in many parts of the
course still frozen to the bottom, and
there is little hope that the Tigers
will be out on the water for ten days.
In an effort to clear the channel the
field artillery unit of the university
is at work with dynamite.
In addition to the fact that the
Orange and Black crews are still on
the machines while most Of the other
crews in the East are on the water
Captain Lamont is out of the boat
with an injury which may prevent his
entering the shell for the remainder
of the season. While playing in an
interclub championship basketball game
recently the Princeton captain and
stroke dislocated his knee. The in
jured member is in cast, and Lamont
will be unable to report for practice
again for three weeks.
DR.. Spaeth is whipping several men
into shape to take Lamont's position
at stroke, for if the captain returns
during the season it will have to be to
a seat in the middle of the shell. Cres-
we'll is at present the most promising
candidate for the position, although
the coach is also considering Leh and
Terry. Bob Campbell, stroke of the
junior varsity would be strong con-
tender for the position if he were
heavier, but Spaeth does not wish to
break up the Junior boat at the present

As the Greatest
Tennis Player

COLONEL ALGERNON r. F.
~ KlNGSCOTE, leader of the
challenging British Isles Davis Cup
team Of 1919, is one of those who be-
lieves that Gerald Patterson is the
worlds greatest player. This is the
tribute paid by the English inter-
nationalist:
Patterson is a mighty good
player. know of nobody who
could beat him at this moment.
There are two or three American
topnotchers, of whom know very
little, but 1 doubt ii they could
keep him from winning.
Patterson has the n1atch-win-
ming temperament, an extraordi-
nary capacity for coming out on
top at q critical moment, and an
extraordinary number of shots.
His cut shots, especially, are tho
most difficult things / have ever
encountered. I really think he is
the best single player there is.
His greatness even overshadows
the mighty Brookes, and that is
saying a lot"
