Some years ago the Carlisle In
dams pulled the hidden-ball trick in
football against Harvard. Receiving

formed for the runner with the ball.
Getting behind the interference. the
runner who had received the kick
on stuck the ball under the back of
the Jersey worn by Dillon. An elias
tic band had been provided 10 re-
tain the ball.
Then the Indians separated and
all dropped their arms 20 their side
as they raced down the field toward
the Harvard goal. The Crimson
players were unable 10 dope It out.
Dillon ran the length OF the field for
a touchdown.

NEW YORK, Jan. IS CUnitet
Press) Picking the ten best ten
mis- players in America last yea
wasn't near the job that it was Fl
1921. Performances OF the leadini
stars were so outstanding that they
adjusted themselves almost auto
.matioally.
Tlden, Johnston. Richards and
williams as the leaders among tbs
men players were foregone eonclu'

impossible.
Many found fault with the Judg.
ment OF the ranking body in plao-
ing Wallace F. johnson, the Phila-
delphia cut-sa oke expert, IN nth
place. Il wasn't that he Is not high
" regarded as a tennis player. but
because he competed in less en-
sagsmsnts than some OF the players
listed below HIM.
Mrs. Molhs Mallory. Of course,
could be placed nowhere but No.
among me women players. She may
not be the greatest player IN the
world. but she was the best IN Amer
Ca last season.
. In placing the Boston girl, Miss
Leslie Bancroft, in second position,
the committee bumped up against
some criticism from the friends and
followers OF the California x1ri etar.
Helen Mills.
Miss Bancroft did beat the Call
fornia girl several times during the
season. but no one gave Mrs. NAL
lory the number Of stiff battles that
little Helen did.
Some critics also found fault with
the committee for failing 20 include
Miss Mary x. Browne, the former
champion, on the list.
Ranking the ten best tennis play
ers or the ten best performers in
any branch OF sport Is strictly a
matter OF opinion. and there always
Will be difference Of opinions.
No ranking ever will be generally
accepted as perfect. but the work
Of the tennis committee last year
was as near as humanely possible 10
perfection.
Fear that the game OF William
Tilden would be impaired by the
Rnputat1on OF part OF a finger on
