AUSTRALIA TESTS
THE SEEDED DRAW
American System Adopted fol
Victoria Tennis Champion
ships Next Month.
ny SAMUEL j. BRooKMAN.

Australasia is the first to follow the
lead Of the United States in testing the
seeded' draw. News OF its adoption by
he Victoria Lawn Tennis Association for
its tennis championships next month
reached here yesterday along with the
intimation that the system is being
favored for the all Austrilia title tourna-
fnent late in January. II the opinion OF
the Australian Davis cup players who
competed in the first seeded draw cham
pionship at Philadelphia six weeks ago
carries any weight, the system will be
adopted for all title events in the Anti
podes at the next annual meeting of the
rules committee. Before he left for
home Gerald Patterson, the Australian
captain, expressed his hearty approval
or the manner in which the seeded draw
worked out in the American national
championship.
With both America and Australia. adj
mittedly the two strongest tennis nations
at present, supporting the method of
seeding contenders in the draw so as
to avoid the possibility Of their elimi-
mating one another In the early rounds
IL is not at all unlikely that the system
VIII be made universal for championship
events by the Lawn Tennis Federation
The news from Australia strengthens the
belief that seeding will be one of the inn
portant rule topics at the internationa,
tennis conference to be held in London
on December 20.
The first comment from Australia on

Australia. finds a simple explanation for
the victory of the American cup defend
ers. In the Sydney Referee he writes:
Tilden and Johnston have no out
standing weakness. Patterson and An
derson are vulnerable on one side-thelr
Dackhand--and their strength against
such players Is no greater than the weak
est point in their battery Of strokes.
Each nation has fits turn in the Davis
cup series and no nation has deserved
Its turn more than the United States.
Only once in the long series did they re-
frain from entering a team In con-
graduating the victors we may console
ourselves with the thought that Aus
tralias hour may come again. The great
value OF these contests has always been
the feelings of amity and good fellowship
that they cultivate. The finest thing
that happened In the whole series was
the cheering by the American gallery OF
our men when. by splendid play, they
defeated the American champion doubles
pair. That Is what will live when the
score has been forgotten"
Speaking OF the manner In which WILL

Johnston Is the personification OF
destruction. He simply annihifates our
men by attacking their weak backhands.

All Elements Of Football
x Included in Navy Practice
Academy Squad Driven Hard
by Coach Folwell.

Special Dispatch to THF NEW York HERALD.
ANNAPOLIS, Oct. "a. - Declining to
underestimate the strength of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania eleven. which
it meets in Philadelphia next Saturday,
Foweil. the Navy coach. drove his
charges hard this afternoon in a prac-
tice session which included all the ele-
ments of football. ending with n long
scrimmage. during which he did not
spare the feelings of any player who
was tagging.
The team started as~it did against
Georgia Tech last Saturday, Conroy.
Mckee. Cullen and Barchet being In the
backfield. Later. Norris. Flippin, Hamil-
ton and others were given a chance.
Straight plays were used almost en-
tirely, Folwell's object being to Increase
the punch Of his team. The squad will
leave for Philadelphia Friday morning,
arriving in time to practice on Franklin
Field in the afternoon.
The substitution of Bolles for Levin
sky at left tackle has decreased the
average of the line by about half a
pound. but Il Is still little over 1872
pounds and is the heaviest which has
yet represented the Academy.

COLUMBIA SCORES
OFTEN IN PRACTICE
Scrimmaging for First Time
OH South Field, Varsity Regis
ters Six TOuchdOwns.

Buck O'Neill, Columbia University
football coach. gave his squad change
of scenery yesterday afternoon when the
Blue and White held its first practice
of the year on South Field. Hereto
fore the varsity had done all It's pre-
paratory work at Baker Field The
varsity scrimmaged with the freshmen
for about forty-five minutes after which
the, varsity scrubs were taken on for
fifteen minutes.
The first stringers registered six
touchdowns. Ben Roderick. Walter kop-
psch and Lou Gehrig did the scoring.
But the 1926 squad was determined
that 1t would not go scoreless. George
Pease, quarterback of the freshman
team, tossed forward pass and Mann
helm. who received it, went over for the
first year mems lone score.
ONeill used Blaine at center, with
Hutton. Hinch and FRANK Brodil at the
right and left Of the pivot man. Hinch
was guard when practice for the Blue
and White started this fall, but for the
past few weeks, the coach has had him
over the ball to groom him for that
position in the event that Blaine gets
injured. Ed Meyer, regular tackle last
year: Kess Scovil captain Of last falls
eleven, and Gordon Stretch held down
the assignments at tackle, while Larry
Tilhonen and Jack Billingsley were
again at the ends. Both will probably
be the regular flank men for a week.
Jimmy Myers will in all probability play
I'm the Williams and Cornell games.
The regular baclSfeld was used with
Bob Burt at quarterback. Capt. Kop-
pisch and Gehrig at the halves and
Roderick at full. Burt has not been
doing very well, and as result Blon-
dell may get the call Saturday.
1t is worth noting that while Columbia
is attempting to take the measure Of
Williams at South Field, Cornell will
not be playing.

BERGEN HAS CALL
AS TIGER QUARTER
Again Directs Princeton Var
sity in Practice for Chi
cago Game.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
PRINCETON, Oct 24.-Princetons prep
arations for the Chicago contest Satur
day assumed more vigorous proportions
to-day when the varsity was sent III
against the omelettes for a long ant
hard scrimmage During the course OF
this workout Coach Roper's regulars
scored five times against the scrubs, and
in return had their own goal line crossed
once. Bergen was again at the helm
most of the afternoon, but German
Wingate and Dinsmore also had a
chance.
Practice opened with a blackboard
talk, and was followed by a thorough
drill in elementary work. such as tack
ling and getting down under punts. The
coaches are not overlooking the fact
that the Tigers have shown very ragged
play in the fundamental departments
of the game. and they do not intend to
take any chances on poor tackling this
Saturday.
Signal drill was also held with Don
Lourie supervising while the varsity
ran up and down the field The Tigers
have been weak on signals thus far, and
they were slow in starting their plays
this afternoon. in the hour and halt
of scrimmage Bill Roper used nearly all
of his first string men. with the excep-
tion of a few regulars that Keene Fitz-
patrick. veteran trainer. wanted to give
rest. It seems that Bergen will get
the call for quarterback against the
Westerners, for he was at the helm the
greater part of the afternoon.
One of the features OF tire practice was
forty yard run by Dick Newby, whd
ran back punts for consistent gains In
the Maryland encounter. 1t was his
work to-day also that put the varsity
within scoring distance for their first
touchdown. Timson tallying on for
ward pass. Other scores for the varsity
were made by Bergen. Euwer and Crum
the latter being the only double scorer
of the day.
Plans for the invasion Of Stage Field
are practically completed. The varsity
squad probably will consist of abou.
thirty-five men. The 5000 tickets which
were allotted to Princeton for the game
have long since been sold, while the first
undergraduate to leave for the game
started yesterday. This ambitious youth
was a Chicago boy, who planned to walk
the main highway and bum" rides from
Western moving vehicles. expecting to
reach the Windy City by game timo
Saturday.
The varsity lined up as follows this
afternoon: Tyson and Timson, ends
Treat and Hills. tackles Snively and
Dickinson. guards Afford. center; Bef-
gen. quarter Caldwll and Beattie
halves Newly, fullback.
