Should Bar HeadIock
Hold, Says 'Americus,'
Princeton Mat Coach

pRINCETON, n. j., Jan. 29.-
"Americus," famous heavyweight
wrestler, who held the light heavy
weight championship of the world
in his earlier days before he took on
weight, to-day issued statement
condemning the use of "tSrangler"
Lewis's deadlock. Americus is now
the Princeton coach in the mat
sport. He speaks with authority,
having thrown the present cham
pion. Lewis, two out of three falls
in 1916.
"Americus," whose real name is
Gus Schoenlein. said: "If used to
moderate degree, l see no obiec-
ton to the deadlock. 1t is as fair
to one man as it is to another, for
every contestant has an equal op-
pOrtunity to develop it and use it.
1t is no more harmful, in the catch
as-catch-can game, than the full
Nelson, which may break mans
neck, the head scissors, and various
methods of lifting a man into the
air and he-ving him down, which
will frequently knock him uncon-
scious.
I'm my opinion the good name of
the sport is right now in danger,
for the majority Of the people who
see the matches do not want to see
a man beaten by being knocked
senseless by mere superiority of
brute strength

WhitI0ck Loses to C0,vard
For Squash Tennis Honors
Yale Player, in Rare Form,
Defeats Harvard Man for
Glass B Championship
By Jack Masters

Playing true to the form which made
MIN strong favorite for the Class B
national squash tennis championship,
Thomas Coward. the twenty-four-year-
old Yale club representative, defeated
+. s: Whitlock, of the Harvard club, yes
terday afternoon in the final title strug-
gle, Only four games were required
TO decide the issue, the scores being
lo-4, 10-l5, 15-8 and 15-9.
With the possible exception of the
first game, which dragged somewhat
because Whitlock was Slow to gather
speed, it was Class A squash that the
spectators in the none too roomy gal
lery witnessed, and although more in
terestlng matches have been played
at the Squash Club, they are a rarity.
Yale Man Subjected to Test
The brilliant Yale racquet wielder
was subjected to severe test by his
opponent and there were times during
the second game when it appeared
that Whitlock had slightly more than
an even chance to win. This was an
uncomfortable session for Coward, for
after having taken the opener without
extending himself, he suddenly turned
a form somersault. and as a result
Whltlock, who was now thoroughly
warmed up, drew away to win with
tive points to spare.
Coward had four-point advantage
at the outset Of this game, when the
tide turned against him. Whitlock
was tearing along at terrific clip and
the favorite seemed to crumple under
the high tension. He could do nothing
at all with the Harvard mans speedy
drives and the fact that he was being
outplayed reacted to his disadvantage
Try as ne would Coward could make no
progress and the state of excitement
into which he worked himself only
made matters worse for him.
Whitlock, always a steady and con-
sIstent player, was remarkably cool
throughout, and while, as it developed
his pace was not winning one, he did
excellent work, executing number Of
particularly fine gets and placements
Coward Overcomes Faults
Again, in the third game, Coward
went to the front early, piing up a

Fight Over Amateur Rule
Philadelphia threatens to make
trouble over the proposed change in
the amateur rule, which aims to pre-
vert q player having a racquet named
after him or her. At a recent meeting
of the Philadelphia and District Lawn
Tennis Association, of which Paul W.
Gibbons is president, the following
resolution was adopted: "Any person
is a professional who receives none
tary remuneration for playing the
game OF lawn tennis"
Certainly a plain and unembellished
statement of fact, but one that allows
wider latitude regarding what consti-
tutes an amateur in tennis than h;
been in vogue in this country for sew
eral years. There will be plenty OF
spirited opposition TO this definition
of tennis amateur if the rule is
forced TO an issue at the annual meet
ing.
The. sectional associations. which will
nave d NOtt 1VI lHe uTSL time tNIS
year, are showing unusual interest
in tournament plans for next summer.
The Border States Association, repre-
senting clubs in Arizona and New Mex
ico, has notified the national body that
it Will be represented at the annual
meeting by A, T. Thompson
The Inter Mountain Association, com
posed of clubs in Utah, Nevada, Colo
rado, Wyoming and part of Idaho, has
requested that Montana be taken from
the Northwest section and assigned
to the Intern Mountain territory. The

northern section of Idaho, as we'll as

ply for a charter, and the same action

Yacht Tax Burden
May Be Ended Soon
By Act Of Congress

Eff bills introduced in the Congress
Il are passed yachtsmen will be re-
lieved from the burden under which
they are staggering, and the sport
and industry will have q chance to
recover from the effects of the war
and burdensome taxation. 1t is not
proposed to repit all taxation, but
to repeal the present laws and adopt
others which will furnish larger
revenue to the government and be
generally fairer to all.
At present all new yachts are
taxed 10 per cent of cost. In addi-
tion there is what is known as the
foot tax. which imposes an addi-
tional burden according to the
length of the vessel. u. S. Senator
Calder's bill and similar one in
troduced in the House of Repre-
sentNives would repeal the 10 per
cent tax and impose tonnage tax.
which would distribute the taxation
fairly among all who own yachts.

50 advantage in the second inning.
In gathering these markers the Yale
player showed that he had overcome
his faults of the previous game, for he
capered about the ring with amazing
deNterlty, scooping the low fast ones
from almost any angle. In the fourth
and fifth frames Whitlock rallied. and
at the start of the next hand was only
at a o-point disadvantage, but this
effort went for naught. as Coward
scored almost at will until nearing the
end, when the Harvard man again
spurted, but drives to the telltale and
clean misses cost him what chance he
had to overtake Coward.
The fourth and final tilt produced
some unusually goood playing. as q
glance at the stroke analysis will show.
Whitlock started fast, and soon had
Coward points to ?, but from the
fifth to the eleventh inning the Har-
ward man was held to / point, while
Coward ran the score 10 to III.
Whitlock hit into the tell-tale twice
in succession during this slump and
was unable to return the smashing
shots which Coward drove to the cor
ners and along the side walls. At this
stage the Yale representative shots
were so we'll executed that in several
make d return.
Loser Plays Desperately
Toward the finish Whitlock. now
playing desperately to stave off de-
feat, brought the score to 9-13, but a
service ace by Coward followed drive
- the telltale and a miss on the part
of Whitlock ended the struggle.
1t was Coward's first championsh Zip
match, and he demonstrated that he
will have to be considered in the Glass
A title tournament, which will get
under way next Saturday. The Yale
player already has announced his in
tention TO compete for the champion
