HELEN WILLS
EARNS REST
RAY JOYCE

NICE, March S.Miss Helen Wills
entered enemy territory today, when
she arrived here to play upon the
courts where Suzanne Lenglen has
reigned queen for SO many years.
Miss Wills will play in the sin
gles on the Nice courts, for the
first time, but Mile. Lenglen is
absent and the hopes that these two
would stage another great tennis
battle here have long since oeen
dashed.
Today the American girl is taking
q well-earned rest, and she has no
match scheduled. She makes her
first appearance tomorrow when she
plays in the mixed doubles with
J. III. Van Allen, of New York and
Philadelphia.
Some of Miss Wills friends fear
that she is going stale, for her
game yesterday against Senorita
Alvarez, of Spain, was not up to
her usual standard. She slowed Up
her pace considerably. played a
base-line game and refused to go to
the net and was generally listless.
1t is hoped that the rest today may
bring a return to form.

Stq!ndPat
on Course at
lOWn and
Country
By ROSS CoNKLIN

The 3, 100 yards OF terrtaln that
separates the first tee from the
ninth green at the Town and
Country Club is very satisfactory,
thank you, and no changes are
being made, contemplated, or pos
sible.
Albert Steinem, chairman of the
golf committee, and A. B. Thorns
club professional, believe they
have as sporty little course as
there is in captivity and they in.
tend to sit on their hands and
enjoy the present lay out. Ana
that when all others are changing
their courses.
For one thing, the older mem.
beers OF the club are just getting
used to the traps and green's and
fairways, and to change the course
would be similar to dropping some
of them on a new one.
They are fond of each bunker
and trap. They know. the bitches
by nick names. They careSs and
fOndle the trees, and they know
the birds and rabbits and lost
ball Ravens" thoroughly.
Last year when Town and Coun-
try held it's invitation tournament,
many played the course for the
first time. 1t was short. not over
and splendidly kept, and
the boys had visions Of tearing par
apart.
When they began their work,
they found things very different.
Town and Country is one very
tough course. Its fairways are
narrow, the greens are small,
though very well kept, and the
bitches that parallel some Of the
fairways are anything but alOOf.
Then, the borders of the course
are out of bounds. and the nearby
farms reaped a harvest of sown
balls this winter. Town and Coun-
try has an enjoyable course and
the club is satisfied.

Buddy .Myer, largely due to inn

ready for the season to begin. He

supply that aid.
Marberry still has some weak.
ness to shed and is working man
fully TO that end. He stayCI out
of doors most Of the winter and
really looks well. However, right
now he is not ready to do much
pitching, though he warmed UP at
st. Petersburg Saturday when the
Griffnlen threatened to tie the
count in the eighth.
Ogden is puzzle. He says his
arm does. not bother him and he
has loose, carefree motion in
delivering the ball. AS soon as he
has worked off excess baggage
more will be known about him.
Manager Harris is counting on hav-
ing Ogden in pitching condition by
the time the season opens and is
not .hnrrying him.
With Johnson, Bush, Ferguson

| first string quartet, Ogden will
probably share relief duties with
Marberry, having a penchant for

One of the best State college foot
ball games of the day Saturday, is
expected at Lafayette where Pur-
due and Wabash meet in their an.
nual battle. Purdue, ranking under
the sting of a 1877 defeat at the
hands of the Little Giants last year,
will enter the game favored to win,
but critics are willing to admit any
thing can happen when a Boiler
maker eleven exchanges punts with
Wabash.
Notre Dame started out auspi-
ciously last Saturday with a TO vic
tory over Beloit. Today the Irish
were in Minneapolis ready for their
first game with a major team Min
nesota, Saturday.
The Gophers lost a 1877 decision
to the Irish at Minneapolis last year,
but with both teams seasoned by a
year of experience, Minnesota should
put up a real battle before falling,
as they are doped to do.
Butler, with two rout victories
over Hanover and Earlham to its
credit, meets Illinois at Urbana, and
although the Bulldogs promise vic
tory, the Illini are the choice of
most critics Last year the Orange
and Blue defeated Butler by the mar
row margin of 16 to 10.
A special train at $50 a. m. Satur-
day will carry Butler rooters to the
game. The team left Indianapolis
this morning and was scheduled for
a workout this afternoon at Urbana.
Indiana will play it's second game
of the season, with Kentucky invad-
ing Bloomington to furnish opposi-
ton. Pat Pages men showed un-
nistakable signs of strength in trip
ping De PAW last week and are
favored to trim the southerners.
De Paw will send it's Tiger grid
ders to Hanover to meet the Hill
Topper eleven there. The Tigers are
in good shape and believe they will
be able to topple the. Hanover elev-
en-. which appears weak this year.
A good game is expected when

peat this year.
