| woman will not retain the neces-
sary fleetness of foot to anything
like that age, and will. in the end,
have to return to base line methods.
Perhaps II would not be amiss
to here quote the precept of II. L..
Doherty, who was undoubtedly the
greatest champion Great Britain
produced: Learn with n good
style. and keep your eye on the
ball"
And allow me to point out what
good style implies. A great
number of players, especially among
the young French school. appear
to imagine that II means elegance
Of stroke. 1t is not so.
The best style means simplicity
and naturalness of stroke-that
which allows you to get a maxi
mum of pace with a minimum Of
effort. And this can only he ac.
complished by donig away with
the tendency to exaggerste top
spin and cut. and cultivating the
straight drive, which allows better
placing.
Watch Others Style.
After all, what is tennis but put.
ting the ball in the right place at
the right moment!
To those desirous of improving
their game | would say: Watch
two players with a good style, and
as soon as possible go on a court
and try to emulate it," You will
find your own improve amazingly.
England Is the home of a cramped
style peculiarly her own. and this
can only be eliminated by the
younger players learning correct
methods from the start. 1t is mostly
caused by faulty footwork.
To hit the hall with a free swing
at full arms length, one must stand
the proper distance from the ball.
The majority of players stand too
close to 1t, so that when they hit
they do so with a bent arm.
The difficulty for the beginner at
modern footwork is that he must
approach near enough to the ball
to take II at the top of it's bound.
and at the same time remain far
enough distant to take II at full
arms lengh.
The footwork should be done on
the toes, and the player must prac.
tice 1t as assiduously as a boxer.
Skipping is the best training for this
department of the game.
1t Is a great game-perhaps the
greatest of individual games, in that
II exacts the best qualities that are
in us.

YANK IDEAS
Fukuda and ogino Coming to
America to Develop Style
Through Competition.

TOXIC, July 22.-S. Fukuda,
tennis coach at Waseda Univer-
sity and a graduate of that school,
who won the singles tennis cham
pionship of Japan last week, and,
with his partner, M. Ogino, also
won the doubles title, will leave
in the fall for the United States,
where it is hoped competition will
develop his play further, IL plans
of the japan Lawn Tennis Asso-

The boom to send Fukuda abroad
and develop him into a Davis cup
player came when he upset the dope
twice in the tournament, first win.
ming from the man who was consld.
cred next to the best player in the
country and one who might take the
championship. and again when he dc.
feated s. Nomura, the title holder,
in three straight sets, two OF them
going by love scores.
Fukuda has everything in the world
but a service. but II is thought that
a year in California will develop one
for him. His greatest assets are a
clever head and deadly accuracy.
Friends are now trying to persuade
his family to send him abroad, and
It appears as II they will succeed.
In such event Fukuda will be Ut

BETHANY GRID
COACHES FACE
HARD PROBLEM
Must Find Men to Plug Wide
Holes Leftby Stewart. Jean.
and Buck Bailey.

DETHANY, w. Va, July 22.-
n Coaches Dave" Morrow and
katy" yesterday are going
to have plenty of problems in
the development of the Bison
football team when they put in
appearance here in September.
Of the two perhaps "Katy" has
the biggest, as his main objective
will have to be the development
of quarterback to take the
place of Fred Stewart, who grad
uated with the outgoing class,
and fullback to replace Jean.
Morrow's chief task will be to
develop a center to take the place
of big Buck Bailey, who sends word
that he cannot return this fall.
There is goodly lineup of vet
eran line material which Morrow
will be able to work over in his
search for pivot man. Townsend
alternated with Bailey last fall and
will undoubtedly make a strong bid
for the position. From word receiv-
ed from Floyd Gregory, former
Cameron high school boy. he is not
going to take the Job without a

been playing tackle and, is one of
the most experienced men on the
entire squad.
For other positions on the line
Morrow has reasonable amount of
experience. Broadley and Shoe
make at tackles make the same
lineup as started every game last
season. Captain Dunn played his
last year at the game and his
place is going to be a hard one to
fill Adkins will be ready to hold
down the other guard position in
his usual good style. and from
among Msckey, Dornbush, Hess.
Kidder and Marsh the coaches
should be able to find good man
for Dunn's job.
On the ends there is perhaps the
best fortification. With Collier,
Roark and Lewis, all three letter
men from last years squad, and
the speedy Zook. who all but earn.
ed his letter. there is no lack OF
material. Joa Lidderdale has also
expressed his intention Of return.
ing to college in the fall.
The backfield material is much
more limited in quantity. There
loom but two possible contenders
for either the generals position or
1.-THE fulIback job. For the former
are Fitzgerald and Gepford. For
the fullback position the best.look.
ing contenders OF the present ma.
terial are Gehring and Pritchard.
At the halfback positions there are
Kelley and Captain Randolph with
Baughman and Meyer to back
them.
