whole matter, which does not bear a
pleasing aspect, will be cleared up.
In the meantime the attitude of the
Navy in refusing to become involved
in misunderstanding is commenda-
BILE.
AS rule college athletic authori-
ties manage to conduct the delicate
task of schedule making without
hitch or error. Which is well, since
so many elements aside from the
mere agreement to play foot ball are
involved. 1t is hardly creditable that
Colgate made definite engagement
with Lehigh and then threw it over
when an opportunity came to hook
up with the Navy. If so. it was ut
terly an uncharacteristic act. The
chances are, however, that the whole
situations arose out of misunder-
standing.
Agreement of Princeton and the
Navy to play their 1928 foot ball in
the new Baltimore stadium indicates
that this amphftheater is destined to
play significant part in intercol-
legiate sport from now on. 1t is so
situated as to afford neutral battle
ground for teams from the north and
the south and all the chances are that
coming seasons are going to see many
interesting intersectional struggles

more than two miles.

Largely speaking, it is a non-pro-

According to DR.. Helm, the stadium

VIRGINIA SHY VETERANS
FOR R|NG-MAT TEAMS

CHARLOTTESVILL Va, January
l3.--With few veterans on hand for
either the wrestling or The boxing
teams these two minor sports at the
University of Virginia are facing
hard problems. Consequently neither
of these teams will open their sea
sons until February.
For the wrestling team, Capt.
Graves and Manning are the only
letter men of last season who are
back ar work on the mats.
John Clark. who was elected
captain of boxing, did not return and
Mike Hubbard probably will be kept
out of the ring by the bad knee
which gave him trouble during the
foot ball season. Consequently this
team will have to De built up around
Falk and Lefkowitch.
o. A. Kirkman. manager of wrest-
ling, and II. L. Bennett, manager Of
boxing, both have had trouble ar
ranging their schedules because
these sports are still so new in inter
collegiate circles that it seems hard
to settle engagements.
In wrestling Virginia will meet

that a trip south may be taken.

matches tentatively arranged for the

Such a man is Dwight +. Davis,
nominated for the presidency of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion and donor OF the cup which
stands as the blue ribbon trophy OF
international lawn tennis. He will
succeed Julian T. Myrick as head of
the association.
When Davis learned that the pres
ent leader of the L. $. l.. T. A. would
retire and was apprised of the deter
minatlon of the nominating commit
tee Of that body to name him as pres
luent. he expressed doubt as TO his
ability TO accept the office. He is
chairman of war finance and felt for
q while that the operous duties of the
highest Office within the gift OF the
tennis association would be too much
for him. But now. il is understood
Davis finds that he will be able to
swing both vocation and avocation.
Great Figure in Game.
His ascendancy to the presidency
will be fine thing for lawn tennis
because of all men he stands as the
great American figure in international
circles. This not alone because the
cup emblematic of supremacy among
nations bears his name-fifteen ma
lions were represented in the Davis
cup competition in 1922--but because
he was one OF the first to gain fame
in international tennis. He has the
deepest love for the sport and in the
past has been actively concerned in
its welfare,
1t was DIR. James Dwight who first
originated the idea of international
tennis competition along lines of the
present Davis cup matches. but il
was Davis who put tho project
through, who gave the cup which now
bears his name. Not only this. he was
a member of the first American team
that competed for the trophy. This
