AS TO NEW GRID COACH

Nothing authentic regarding the
foot ball coaching situation at CATH
olic University could be learned yes

former Penn State star. who has been
tutoring the Brookland gridironers
for the past two years, would not be
rendered a contract for next fall. as
result of action taken by the uni

Thursday night, were not authori-

No statement was forthcoming from
any member of the council. but Mgr.

ton concerning the ousting of Robb
had been forwarded by the athletic
council to the university head. All

That Robb would be replaced by an
other coach has been rumored persist

fall.
When Robb first came to Brookland
from Penn State. where he starred as
a quarterback and earned place with
Walter Camps mythical All-American
squad, he developed creditable team,
but last fall Catholic University, de-
spite a quantity of good material, was
lamentably weak.
1t has been said that some Of the
Brookland faculty were averse to
Robb's retention after his first sea-

helm at the urgent request of the stu
dent body. Last fall, however, the

Frisby, in five games, has Gagged II
shots from scrimmage and made good
in Il of II tries from the foul line.
His nearest contender for the high
score mark is McFadden, Centrars
captain, who has made IL scrimmage
goals and bagged 23 Of 81 shots from
the 15-foot mark for a total Of 49,
McFadden also has participated in
five engagements in the series.
Joe. ODea, Eastern leader. has a
better chance than any other basketer
to overhaul Frisby. The husky CEN
ter of the Light Blue and White now
stands third in scoring ranking with
46 points. and his team has been in
but four games. O'Dea has carried
the burden of the Eastern attack, for
his uuint is credited with but a total
of 6S points for the season.
o'Dea tops the list at making good
in throws from the foul line. He has
had IS chances to count one-pointers
for his team and has looped the ball
into the basket in 80 Of them. Frisby's
figures put him second among the
free tossers and Shanks of Tech is
third. McFadden and Walker of Busi-
ness follow as named in the free toss
averages.
Birthright, Centraps consistent for
ward. is the leader at scoring from
the field. He has worked his way
through opposing teams often enough
to get 19 baskets from scrimmage in
contests. Dey. Birthright's team
mate, also has been a thorn in the
sides of opponents. He has pocketed
II goals. 1t has been the excellent
performances of Birthright, McFad-
den and Deg that have kept Central
in front in the run for the scholastic
title.
Central, credited with five victories
in as many starts, has accumulated
1874 points in its matches. Tech.
western and Business, deadlocked in
the runner-up position, also have
counted well. The Manual Trainers
have made 10 points against 1o7 for

1t is pretty generally agreed that

such base ball will be more harmful
to the Pacific Coast League than to

RACQUET TITLE RETAINED.
BY PELL AND MORTIMER

PHILADELPHIA, January 2s.-Clar-
ence c. Pell and Stanley Mortimer Of
New York today retained the national
doubles racquets championship by de-
feating Jay Gould and J. w. Wear, rep
resenting the Philadelphia Racquet
Club. The scores were 12-15, 17-15,
15-7, 7-15. 15-3.
Experts declared that the match was
one Of the best ever played on the local
courts. The play was exceedingly fast
and the finest sportsmanship was
shown. But for two bad breaks, Gould
and Wear probably would have won the
second game. which would have given
them a good lead. In the fifth game
Pell, who is the singles champion. made
ten straight aces. which practically
yclinched the match. A large gallery
saw the championship decided.

The game has become quite popular
at the Racquet Club, which boasts
of courts on a par with the finest in
the country. When Glockler assumed
his position as professional at the
club in October less than a score of
squash racquet players were active.
So keen has interest in the pastime
become, however, that now more than
eighty players are taking part in the
sport.
Game I'm Infancy Here.
While it has 1lourished for years in
Philadelphia and New York, the game
Is in its infancy here. In many re-
spects. it is similar to hand ball. but
the black rubber ball is DATED
against the wall with racquets, twen-
ty-seven inches long, instead of with
the hand. The player must possess
considerable physical stamina as well
as keen eye.
As is the case with racquets and
squash tennis, squash racquets is
especially attractive to devotees of
lawn tennis. The entry list for. the

The original rule makers agreed
that the game must have a standard
ball or it would never become a
standard game. Boston would be
playing with one kind of ball, New
York with another and Philadelphia
and Washington with still others, SO
that every time teams from those
cities met there would be a prelim-
mary sQuabble as to which kind Of
ball should be used. The first rule
makers thought the question had
been settled when they adopted a rule
which says the ball shall have certain
dimensions and a certain weight
They did not realize that not word
which the bah should be made.
In those days the materials from
which to make base balls were linn
tied to homemade yarn and four
piece horsehide covers were the usual

standardized the ball. the rule makers

is true that there is a contract be-

When the present rule was adopted
there was no such thing as a cork
