In fact, the team is nursing five

The latter is the key-man in
the attack, the boy who makes the

only sophomore but he looks

He is quarterback az the old

passes in addition to calling the
plays. He does everything well and,
in spite of the fact that the. veteran,
Laird, is ready as an understudy, I
think It would go very hard with
Pennsylvania if it lost Murphy, even
for a half game.
Rogers. however, is another ideal
triple threat and probably the

season.

theme of her discourse was
HYPOCRISY" Once upon time
a well-known sportsman was asked
to describe an amateur. and he
made a reply that since has gone
down the corridors of time.
IAN amateur" said this sage and
philosopher of sport, lis one who
will not accept a check"
Suzanne, the Superb, feels that
even in tennis they do not restrict
their professional bent to the extent
Of dealing in nothing but cash.
"Why not be real" said this
queen Of the nets, East, West. North
or South. why not come right out
into the open and be a bona fide
professional, instead of making a
professional nature, professional ac-
tons and professional ideas behind
curtain OF alleged amateurism.
Il became tired of finding out
that every new country l visited
had a different conception of an
amateur. In England an amateur
is one thing, while in France and
America there is something else.
"Take Great Britain for I'm.
stance. There yOm can use
certain racket and profit from
the firm making that racket
using your name to advertise il.
Another firm making shoes will
do the same thing, and England
still maintains that you are an
amateur nevertheless.
But In my country nothing like
| this is permitted, although they
permit an amateur to write stories
and receive money for their publica-
ton. Now when you come to the
United States you find that every.
thing banned in France is barred
here, and, in addition, writing stories
OF matches in which you compete
stamps you professional, too"
Mile. Lenglen says that she does
not feel a single regret because
she listened to the financial lure of
Cold Cash Pyle and turned profes.

ut is such relief to play profess

tress Of the courts, "where every
audience before which you play is
just lovely to you instead Of sneering
at you. The professionals have found
audiences that appreciate them, that
come to the matches to see how well
tennis can be played. and not to con.
fine their time and attention to
making hideouS remarks and derd-
