Kappa key, with heavy" major in

Before she discussed how she played
in her championship matches she
gave ten points for the use of would
be champions of the court as follows:
"Ffrst-Get plenty of practice
"Second-Choose a variety of OPP
ponents.
"Third--Get fun out of your play
ing.
"Fourth-Have good equipment
this means good racket we'll strung;
good balls. decent court and COM
Portable clothes.
"Fifth--Watch good players and
tournament matches, not to copy,
but to unconsciously absorb the
rhythm of the game.
"SiXth-Play with players better
than yourself
"Seven-Develop your footwork on
the court.
"Eighth-Dont fool on the court;
concentrate on doing your best.
"Ninth-RelaX completely before
and after games.
'Tenth-And, most important, never
give up"
Never Plans Matches Ahead.
How do you face a championship
match?"
Il never plan ahead for matches,
| and l never remember them after
ward. l play all my tennis on the
| court. While l am playing l am en-
| joying the fun of the game and the
excitement of the match, and l am
| looking ahead no farther than the
next point. | find them exciting
whether ! am winning or losing. and
no more nerve racking at set point
| than at first point. / never make a
| fetish of training. / merely so to
| bed early during tournament weeks,
eat simple food and take care not
to catch cold-that's about all. And
/ repeat that / don't worry about
the matches have never felt any
| of the terrible tension so often de
| scribed. | think / enjoy the game too
| much"
How do you plan your attack
| in different matches?"
TT is impossible to do much plan
ming ahead of time. One cannot
| tell what the opponent will do. One
| can't even tell how the match is
| going when 1t is going on. because
| it goes back and forth, teeters from
one side to the other.
Mistake to Alter Game.
! lIllIlh d payer makes q great mis-
| take to try to alter her game in at
lacking particular opponents. She can
vary her pace, but not change her
game. To do SO is an impossibility
and will wreck the steadiest game
1T also is important to remember
to use ones head. Young players
usually forget to. Older ones, more
experienced at the game, become
craftier. In that respect / have q
great admiration for Mrs. Lambert
Characteristic is one of the most
heady players I ever have known"
Can you remember certain matches
that have been more than usually
thrilling to you?" Miss Wills was
asked.
Il think Wimbledon two years age
thrilled me more than anything else
I've ever taken part in. It was the
first time I'd played there and / went
to the final match of sets-any one
who has been there knows the excite
ment Of Wimbledon-that zest In The

quite hard trying to perfect 1t. But
I did not do this by serving a lot or
balls over the net at once, l dld II

mot at all | played a good deal
with men, as all girls should, because
by doing SO they will harden and pull
up their game. Then, too, men play
the game harder and better and 1t
is the best thing any one can do to
play against players better than her
self and to play against players play
ing at their best. That is why match
play is such a good thing besides
being more exciting than ordinary
playing"
Earns Strength and Grace.
one does not have to observe Helen
Wills long to realize that tennis has
given her at once physical strength
and grace of movement. Then, too,
since her recent trip to Paris the
world has learned of her love of
pretty clothes and the good taste with
which she dresses her youthful good
looks.

mastery of the courts, she presented

The oval of her face is slightly
thinner since the recent operation for

denies her vigorous life on the courts.
Her we'll formed figure and excellent
carriage foretell, in the grace of her
movements on the court. something of
the beautiful ease and economy of eff
fort noticeable in her game.
All Have Same Chance.
Her story of her development in
tennis, she believes, can become the
story of any American girl who will
combine fun" with earnestness in
playing the game. Her story con-
tjnues:
"All young tennis players should
quickly get into tournament playing

kress was then ranking fourth or

When Helen went to college, she
continued to play almost daily after
she finished her classes. The fact
that she did not enter into college
athletics or outside activities probably
was responsible she admits, for the
fact that she continued to win tennis
tournaments and still was able, by
her Junior year, TO win Phi Beta
