There are several applicants for the
job of golf professional at Chevy
Chase, according to authentic infor-
nation last night. Prominent among
those applying for the post are Gill
bert Nichols, formerly of the Great
Neck Club, often declared to be the
most brilliant player in America; Or
rim A. Terry of the Washington Golf
and Country Club. Howard Beckett
of Atlanta and Seymour Dunn of New
York. Any one of these men would
fill the post admirably, golfers be-
lieve, and the job probably will go
to one of them.
Nichols is known from coast to
coast for the brilliancy of his achieve
mentsz in the golfing world. Although
he has never won national title,
he has been very close and has won
many minor events. He Is known
for the daring of his game and his
Willingness to back his game In
financial way, and should prove a
splendid requirement at Chevy Chase.
Washington golfers are familiar with
his play, for he finished in first place
in the open tournament held at the
Columbia Country Club in the spring
of 1917. 1870
Terry has been the professional at
the Washington Golf and Country Club
for the past two years, and though he
is not openly seeking a change and
is surely not dissatisfied with his
present location, according to him, he
would not pass up the Chevy Chase
job He is very fine golfer, who
has not had the opportunity to show
his wares in Washington on account
of physical trouble. He has had
severe rheumatism for two years, but
he now declares it is cured and that
he is ready again to play his game.
He was runner-up in the Massa-
chusetts open championship several
years ago and is always a man to be
reckoned with in fast golfing company.

golfers. He was with the Washing

COLUMBIA CLUB TENNIS TEAM
TO PLAY MATCH IN NEW YORK

Columbia Country Club has been in
vited by the Seventh Regiment
Armory racketers to send team to
New York for an indoor batch. A. Y.
Leech, jr. chairman of the tennis COM
mittee at Columbia, is getting a team
together and it is likely that the
match will be played in the near fu-
ture. Leech is counting on Connie"
Doyle, Henry Breck, "RoT Doyle. Ed
Leech. Fred Harris and John Hancock
to make up the local combination for
six singles and three doubles. Neither
Harris nor Hancock is living in
Washington, but both are non-resi-
dent members of Columbia and eligi-
BILE to play on the team. Harris is at
said he will go to New York for the
match. Hancock is in Gotham.
: Selection by the nominating COM
mittee of Julian S. Myrick ofhthe West
Side Tennis Club to be president of
the national association is praised by
A. Y. Leech, jr., who, as middle At
lantic delegate, is member of the
executive committee. Leech declares
that Myrick did great work as vice
president during the absence of
George T. Adee, the president. in Eu-
rope during the war, and is in every
way qualified for the position. Leech's
term as delegate runs to 1921.
Tennis professionals are in such de-
mand that there will not be enough
to go around another season. Nearly
all of the large clubs in the east have
their professionals, and the idea is
spreading. Chevy Chase Club. which
fell in line last year, is the only local
organization to support a tutor, but it
would not be surprising to see others
here follow suit. An Illustration of
the estimation in which a professional
is held is shown in the fact that
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, former ma
tional indoor and outdoor champion,
is taking lessons from one TO bolster
up her game for efforts to regain her
lost laurels. Many of the male stars,
too, have placed themselves in the
hands of the pros to tune up their
game.
1t is worth noting that William NJ.
Johnston, the national champion, and
some of the other great players of
the game have been self-taught, but
despite this the tendency to seek pro-
fessional advice is steadily growing.
Johnston is said to possess as near
faultles style as exists, not only of
stroke, but as to court technique and
all-round ability. The little Califor-
nian is rare tennis genius.

eral interest in tennis is the attention

being given the game in the colleges and
schools" says Julian S. Myrick. "Of
course, the great comeback which ten
mis- enjoyed after the war was tribute
to the real worth of the game, and in
this quickening of popular interest the
visit of the. Australians was an inn
portant factor. But in the minds of
those who are following the tendencies
of sport most keenly the significant ac-
tivity was in the colleges.
"The national association is doing all
it can to establish the idea that tennis
offers a real service to the community
by qualifying it's citizens physically to
meet the stress of modern life. But its
immediate task is to help the college
and school authorities, who recognize
the importance of giving their students
the best physical equipment to make
their mental training efficient"
One Of the few to voice their opposi-
tion to the proposed changes in the
scoring system of tennis is Harry Nc
Neal. the professional, at the Heights
Casino of Brooklyn, N. Y. He feels
SO accustomed to "ffteen-love," deuce

SilCC iiS OOylOOu udyS DIT w iIADlcuOu,
England, says:
What will happen in the Davis cup
matches in which the United States
is competitor in the future? Eng
land, France. Australia, Belgium,
Canada and South Africa are certainly
not going to adopt this new scoring
system, and that can only mean one
thing, when our players are COM
peting against men from those coun-
tries. There is bound to be confusion,
and who is going to recede from their
position
England really has been the mother
of lawn tennis ever since the game
was first played in it's present form,
and the colonies have been brought
up in the same beliefs. the same
traditions. So have France and Bel
gium. They have given no indications
that they approve of the proposed
action by the U. S. N. L. T. A., nor
are they likely to.
ITO my way Of thinking, it would
be the part of wisdom to try the new
scoring system out this season and
give 1t a fair test all over the coun-
try, and then at the meeting of the
national association next year submit
the proposition to referendum vote
among the players of every club in
the United States. Only in that man
ner could true decision be arrived
at, and believe the sentiment against
the proposed change would be over
whelming"

The visitors had an excellent system of
team play, but it was largely broken

almost altogether to long shots. The
toll of field goals for Lafayette was
small, but the score was kept at a
fair figure by the fine shooting from
the line of Reeves. who scored thir-

The offensive work of the Navy

c. u. Indoor Meet March q.
Another indoor track and field meet
is to be held this winter, Catholic
University announcing last night that
it intends to foster a set of collegiate
and scholastic games in it's gym
nasium at Brookland Saturday night.
March 6. The meet to be held will
involve all the championship events
of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, which formerly
were divided between the Georgetown
and George Washington meets and an
open set of events for high and pre-
paratory schools in the south Allan
tic section.
Out at Brookland, Catholic University
has a gymnasium fully large enough to
lay out a track just the size of that
at Convention Hall and still leave
sufficient room for stands to seat
l.500 spectators. The track to be used
in the meet will be twelve laps to
the mile, three laps to the quarter.
and a fifty-yard straightaway for the
sprints. No other gymnasium in the
south is capable of accommodating
such a meet.
Track athletics have been got under
way at c. U. again and a strong
squad is being developed to take part
in the Hopkins meet, in the meet at
c. u. and in the championship out
door track and field events of the S. A
I. A. A. games at Blacksburg, May 3.
Director of Athletics Moran is cast
ing about to find capable coach. 1t
is reported that Jimmy Mulligan, who
has in turn coached Georgetown. Cath
olic L. and Navy in track and field
sports. will be the man selected for
the job, provided he can find time to
give to it.
BrOOklanders to Play Lehigh.

T. This completes the Brooklanders'
list of contests for the season. The
next meeting is with the Navy at An
napolis Wednesday of this week. and
the last of the season is to be with
Gallaudet at Brookland.
There seems to be no doubt that
track and field sports will be fostered
than has ever been known in the
south Atlantic section. Inquiries
have come to the writer from practi-
cally every institution about the out
door championships of the S. A. 1. A.
A., and yesterday a communication
from the University of Virginia made
known the fact that that school is
planning to get back into the track
game this year both feet first" North
Carolina University. Washington and
Lee, Catholic University and Mary
land State are other institutions
which are going to put out squads in
the spring which have not been out
on the cinder path since before the
war All are preparing to enter the
championship games at Blacksburg.
In all probability there will be a 1arg-
er representation in the meet this
year than has ever been gathered in
any one set of games in this section.
