1t was a merry dance that Suzanne
led them and when at last they got
her on the courts as an opponent To
Molla Mallory, whom she had beaten
in Europe earlier in the Summer
they were filled with a sense of clever
accomplishment.
The outcome of that match at the
West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills
bulks among the important annals OF
international tennis. Mrs. Mallory
took the first set easily and after she
had won the first game of the second
set the French girl, who through
coughing and gestures had shown
signs of physical and mental distress
in all games after the first three or
four. resigned and left the court,
weeping.
1t has always been q moot question
whether SuZanne's indisposltion was
due to a recurrence OF q. bronchial al
fection or whether she developed
megrims as a result of the trouncing
she was getting.
However that may be, she recov-
cred and played remarkable tennis as
a partner in mixed doubles. Then
she went home and the Americans
who had had the task Of arranging
for her general comfort here as well
as for her play in matches looked
and acted like men from whom
great burden had been lifted
Now they want her to come again.
For. of course. the French federation
with which the L. S. l.. I. A. is In
correspondence, would no more think
Of sending q team of woman stars
here without Lenglen than a French
general would order his troops TO at
tack Arabs with blank cartridges.
Whether the French star will be
willing to listen to inducements de
signed to lure her to this country is
extremely dehatable. Just before she
departed in 1921 she intimated that
wild horses would not make her come
here again.
But maybe the passage of time has
worked the miracle with her that il
has worked with the tennis authori
ties. But if she does come, with Mile
Didi Vlasto and Mile. ConstavlOs. it
is extremely questionable if any team
of women we could muster would
turn the French girls back.

University of Maryland plans a So
rIeS of triangular track and field
meets for next year instead of the
usual dual competitions each week
end. The number of open dates IN
track season are 50 few that it is
impossible to get into competition
with as many different schools as IS
desired, if only dual events are listed,
and it is felt that not only will the
track and field season have a wider
range from standpoint of oppo-
nentS, if triangular meets are Sched
uled, but it also will be made up of
a more interesting series Of events.
In this section, at least al present,
dual meets, unless linked up with
some other athletic event, are not
particularly interesting. With the
possible exception of dual events be
tween Virginia and North Carolina
and between Virginia Military Insti-
tute and Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute, meets of that kind in this sec
ton are hardly worth spending the
time and energy in preparation for
them. Some of the events have only
two entrants, some three, and seldom
are theI- more than four in dual
meets, NI'r~eAs Il a triangular meet
is listed there should be men enough
in every event to guarantee an inter
esting race between at least two of
them.
Two Of the meets Maryland has
asked about would be with Virginia
and North Carolina. and with Wash
ington and Lee and Virginia Poly
teChnic Institute. Meets of this kind
would be worth far more in every
way than the ordinary dual affairs,
unless such affairs We're to settle a
long standing rivalry.
