HARDY AND NORTON
MAY PLAY HERE ON
WAY FROM MEXICO
Famous Tennis Stars Stop
in City Few Minutes
Monday Night.

eve viii stop over a few days in
San Antonio on our way back from
Mexico and may play a few exhibition
matches here" Sam Hardy, veteran
Davis Cup tennis layer told Manager
Writ of the local Spalding store,
while stopping over q few minutes
Monday night in San Antonio on the
way to the Mexican national torrna
ment which will start next week in
Mexico City.
Hardy is the Spalding representative
out of New York and travels all over
the country in the interest of tennis.
He is a former Davis Cup man and
80 years ago won the Pacific Coast
tennis championship at the age of
10 years.
B. /. c. Norton. who is travelling
with Hardy, is the little South African
who, paired with Bill Tilden, won
the national doubles championship this
year at Forest Hills, n. Y.
Hardy said that there will be
large invitation tournament in Austin
about November 3 and 4 and, besides
himself and Norton, a large number
of other well-known players who are
taking part in the Mexican tourna-
ment will enter. The Kinsey brothers,
Tilden, Alfonso and others are likely
to play in Austin, according TO Hardy.
San Antonio has been invited to send
over a team and probably will be
represented.
Hardy and Norton played in Dial.
las and Austin on their way South.
In the doubles match at Austin Mon.
day Stacy Gillespie and Lewis White
of Austin defeated these stars. 81:
Ga. In the singles, Norton defeated
White, g., 10-S, in a well-played
match. Hardy was high in his praise
of White. whom he regards as flu
ture champion. he regarded the Tex
MS combination of White and Thai
heimer as having accomplished some
thing remarkable in winning the ma
tional intercollegiate doubles cham

"BIG THREE" TEAMS
NO LONGE RSUPREME
IN FOOTBALL WORLD
"Upstart" Eleuens Every

Some Stuff.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York. Oct. 23.-Gone is the
supremacy of the big Three in
football. Although last Saturday
games rushed Yale's stock away up
to the top of the trio so far as
scores 60, they also widened the gap
by which teams like Notre Dame,
Penn State and Syracuse seem TO be
striding away from elevens that in
the old days led the football process
sion.
With Princeton defeated by Notre
Dame, % to .. and Harvard Just
barely pulling through against Holy
Cross. q to o. il loooks as if it |uld
be well nigh impossible for Roper or
Fisher to bring anything like order
out of the chaos aud making scoring
teams out of their material.
Then as to the backsliding Of the
old leaders in comparison with the
new. there is Notre Dame running
first over West Point and then Prince
ton, Syracuse defeating Pitt, a team
that had beaten Bucknell, 20 TO o..
Yale had its hands full in winning
from Bucknell, 20 to IA, and Penn
State smothering the Navy, 81 to 3.
Saturday had a few other reyela-
tions TO offer. Iowa. which beat
Yale last year, went down before
Illinois, 8 TO G. Michigan simply
outclassed Wilce's recognized Ohio
State team and Nebraska could get
ONLY scoreless tie out of Kansas.
Vanderbilt, after holding Michigan TO
3-to-0 score the week previous, fell
before Texas, 16 to o, and Georgia
Tech swamped Georgetown, 20 to U.
The writer has been preaching the
remarkable versatility of Rockne's
Notre Dame team and its individual
initiative SO that those who have fol-
lowed him probably were not sur
prised at Princeton's downfall. Com
ment also has been made on Dobie's
methods and the relentless drive he
gets into his teams, so Cornell also
ran to form in downing Colgate, q
TO Z. 1t is the phenomenal speed
with which every backfield man drilled
by Dobie reaches the line that wor
success for Dobie in the Pacific
Northwest and later at Annapolis and
that is winning for him now at Cor

Wagner set the mark at II years

of many TINT that was one mark that
would stand 70 the credit of Wagner
for all time. This belief was based on
frequent reports that Cobb was about
to retire and the fact that in 1920 his
batting average dronped to .33i. That
mark, the lowest Ty had hit since
1905. gave him n string of fifteen con-
Sccutive marks of better than 900.
