 And the Bulldogs base their as sertions on past performance. the happenings of the past week. Coach Cope has not rushed matters, sout the exercises his charges have been sent through have been strenuous, muscle building and wind producing.
 The Bulldogs were sent through their first scrimmage of the year yesterday afternoon. Only primary formations were used. It was fore runner of the hard work that Is being planned for this week. when the squad will be trimmed to shape for the first game of the season, which comes next Saturday.
 Open Season Saturday
 The Bulldogs open their season Saturday, meeting the Jacksonville State Normal eleven on Berry Field. After that comes the Auburn game at Redwood. and the Bulldogs are then In the midst of one or the most strenuous schedules a Howard col ' tege team has faced in years.
 In yesterdays scrimmage, pract- cally every one participated. ot course, there were the usual long runs and flashes of brilliant play ing that always show up in an early season scrimmage. but 1t is as yet too early to tell who's who on Berry field.
 Coach Cope's main problem seems to be the development of a backlieio with the necessary drive to win games. There are numerous backs but weight and experience are scarce commodities in that bunch. The backs are coming along niceiS, anG may develop into winning com . bination, with the aid of speed anu team work.
 The line stacks up nicely, althousn several veterans are hopelessiy lost to the team this year.
 Brindley at Center

 Sisler resumed his position today after an absence of several days, due to an injured shoulder, which seemed to bother him considerably while throwing and batting.
 The crowd filled the park and swarmed on the playing field at times. Many fans were refused ad- mfttanceL Some of the fans had waited outside the park from Fri day night until noon today to see the contest, which resembled a worlds series in many respects.

BILL TILDEN WINS TENNI SETTLE IN
 AN UPHILL FIGHT

Philadelphia, September 16.-wil- Ham T. Tilden. II of Philadelphia. United States tennis champion, re- tained the title today by defeating William M. Johnson of San Francisco in terrific five-set struggle by scores of 4-s, s-6. 6-2. s-s, 6-4, on the courts of the Germantown CrIcker club today. Tilden also won perma- nent possession of the championshin cup, in which he won legs in 1920 and 1921. Johnson also had two legs in the trophy when play began.
 The struggle of the flnalists in tha forty-first annual titular tournament of the United States Lawn Tennis as- sociation transcended any similar battle spectators ever remember hay. ing seen here. The gallery of 1x.0a0 persons witnessed match such as is seldom. if ever. offered as the cli- max Of a national or international match. Perfect weather condition favored the players.
 A Whirlwind Pace
 The players served, drove. and lobbed with speed and precision which left the average tournament player aghast at their skill. Impossi- ble appearing placements were turn ed into scientillating returns; serv- Ice aces, shot at eye bafflng speed flew back to far corners of the sourt while the dripping, gasping contest ants raced about the turf a bewilder- ing speed.
 At the end of what was undoubt- edly one of the most gruelling tnnis matchces in the history of the snort. Iilden led Johnston by just four games and Is points. No better ex- ample Of the almost even ability of the two need be cited. Tilden won, but his margin of victory lay not entirely in his racquet wizardlv If was his greater physical proportion and endurance and power that con tributed to his retention of the cup. This in part explained the tremen- cous ovation given Johnston when he left the courts in the wake of his conqueror.
 TiIden the Strongest
 In the last analysis 1t was Tilden's s superior physical attributes and his wider repetoire of strokes that forced Johnston's defeat. Master of almost every form of rauuet return, he met the best that Little Bill'' had to offer and went him just a little bit better. As if he figured that the frall Californian could not go five full sets at the speed with which the match opened Tilden seemed to save a little something for the crucial third set
 The champion did not lift his game to it's highest plane until the third set, nor did he go after every one of Johnston's exactly placed returns un- til that session.
 Errors were frequent in the long and exciting rallies in which each strove to force an opening for a winning shot. but toward the end it was Tilden who set the pace and executed the most brilliant gets and placements.
 This is shown by study of the point and stroke scores of the five sets. Notwithstanding Johnstons early lead, Big Bill' crept up on tht Californian, until at the finish he led Johnston by 15 earned points and one less error. In percentage of earned points to chances, Tilden registered an average of .31l to Johnston's .231.
