THE national singles are at Forest

Americas leading municipal tennis
PLAYERS will compete in the fourth an
nual championship tournament on

That was before the interest in in
ternational Women'S tennis was
awakened. The Wightman Cup, with
Its invitation for competition to the
English players, started the ball roll
ing, and with this impetus, and with
the experiences that such COMPETE
ton has brought, women'S tennis in
America can be said to be on a level
with that of the English and French
The winning of the Wightman Cup for

with two wins on the cup for each.
But this becomes an unimportant
point beside the real meaning of the
event.
The credit of winning the Wight
man Cup is due to Miss Elizabeth
Ryan and Miss Mary X. Browne,
'ooth of California, and to the third
and fourth members Of the team. Mrs.
John Jessup and Miss Eleanor Goss.
Great Doubles Player.
From watching Miss Ryan's play
at Wimbledon. | would say that she
is one of the very best doubles play
ers in the woNd. with very little to
choose between her own and the play
Of Mile. Lenglen. In past seasons
she has won four times against Mile.
Lenglen in mixed doubles. Her vol
leying is her main asset in doubles;
her spin, also, is a valuable factor.
She is very fast on the court, reaches
the net quickly and covers the back
court most effectively for high, deep
shots. AS a ''poacher" at the net. she
is most effective. The receiver of the
service must angle his shots sharply
in order to place them out of the reach
OF her accurate and dangerous volleys.
Miss Ryan had, in the singles at
Wimbledon. very good chance of
winning the title, and yielded only to
the marvellous play of Mrs. Godfree.
1t was a close struggle which might
have gone either way but for the ex.
traordinary lasting qualities of the
English player.
Those who had watched Miss RYAN
play in the past seasons were disap-
pointed in not seeing her use her IA

TWO NOTED GRlDDERS
SPURNED BIG OFFERS
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July 29.-The story of
how Andrew Oberlander and Billy
Tully, Dartmouth's famous forward
passing combination of 1925 turned
down tempting offers to play profes.
sional foot ball for comparatively low
paying coaching jobs was told today.
Both men were approached i'm
mediately after graduation by a
representative of c. c. Pyle, organizer
of the American League of Profess
sional Foot Ball Clubs and manager of
the redoubtable Red Grange.
Oberlander was offered guarantee
of $4,000 or 10 per cent of the net
receipts of the games he participated
in, which a correspondingly lucrative
position was placed before Tully. In
addition Oberlander was to receive a
5000 bonus on signing.
Olfarlander told Pyle's representa-
tive that he would stick to his agree
ment to become assistant coach at
the Ohio State University for $4,000
a year.
FULLY preferred to become assistant
to Jack Ryan, Dartmouth captain in
1910, who is now coaching at North
western.
