TILDEN WINS
TENNIS TITLE
OVER JOHNSTON

Philadelphia, Sept. 16-William T..
Tilden I'd of Philadelphia, monarch
Of the tennis court!
Such was the title that the great
est of all players gained this after
noon when on the grandstand court
Of the Germantown Cricket club at
Mannheim, before the very persons
who have looked upon him as their
own, he defeated that little piece of
machinery, William NJ. Johnston of
San Francisco, and won the cham
pionship of the United States, which,
when one considers the international
opposition that was presented in this
tournament, is the championship Of
the world.
1t was a hectic battle in which the
greater stamina Of the long Phila-
delphian overcame the midget from
the Pacific coast after the latter had
won the first two sets. The strain
was too much for Little BiH,' great
player that he is. The score of the
match was 4-6. 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, ca.
There may have been greater
matches in the point Of high-c class
play, but never was there such keen
interest as was manifested through
out today's contest. 1t was a contest
between two men recognized as be-
ing the smartest players and the
soundest in fundamentals in the
game. The pair, one tall and heavier,
the other a small, pale-faced athlete,
fought from the opening service.
Battle of Real Champions
The match was just such a strug-
gle as one would expect to see when
two champions get together. There
was not a dull moment. The specta-
tors, naturally, were roofing for Big
Bill They however, were on the
anxious seat. They were getting
ready to acknowledge the master
hand of the little Californian, when
all Of a sudden his efforts to break
down the champion began to lag.
They became weaker and he dropped
Che next three sets. Like most of the
spectators, the closest students OF
tennis believe it was Tiiden's great
err strength that enabled him to pull
through and make the uphill fight
that was necessary for him to come
off the court victorious.
Philadelphians had never seen such
a torrid contest. Last year they saw
Bill Tilden walk through Wallace F..
Johnson in three straight sets. They
had never seen Bill Tilden forced as
this afternoon. They, who have
learned to admire him. had great
faith in his ability to carry on, even
in the face of the mountainous task
that doomed up ahead.

Bates Football Team
Hard at Work for
Yale Game Saturday

Lewiston, Me-, Sept. 16-The Bates
college football squad began it's prep
aratory work for the season Of 1922
on Monday OF this week, a squad Of
about 80. which has been increased
daily during the week, reporting on
the first day. The team will open its
season with Yale at New Haven,
Saturday, Sept. %, and has an ex-
tremely hard schedule.
The team is captained this year by
William f. Quincy. '23 Of Biddeford,
who has played at tackle for three
years and was general choice for
the ALL Maine for that position last
year. 1t is believed he will make a
popular and effective leader.
Bates this year goes back to the
plan which she followed for many
years of having her own graduates
for coaches. Watkins, the Colgate
graduate, who coached last year and
was expected to return this fall, gave
up the position only about a week be-
fore the team was to report.
Fortunately, however, famous
Bates and Harvard player. Oliver F.
Cults, '96, tackle on Campbell's FAM
Gus Harvard team, had been engaged
as physical director of the college
and was available as football coach
and Carlton Wiggin, '2f, who won his
letter in four sports, baseball, foot
ball, track and hockey, was engaged
as assistant and it is the belief of all
concerned that Bates will not suffer
from poor coaching this fall, what
ever may be the quality of the men
that they have to work with.
