HELEN WILLS CHOICE

R.-Helen Wills, the Californian
tennis star, emerged triumphantly
from the Kent tennis championships
today with the women's title in her

free out of seven clashes on the

Miss Wills now is the prime favor
lite for the women's title in the

1t was the California girls first
victory over Mrs. Godfree in this

ticuIarly after reports reaching Eng
land from the Riviera this Spring
that Mrs. Godfree would defeat Miss
Wills easily this year, makes the
American star a new Lenglen in the
eyes of the British tennis fans.
At least she is new Helen Wills.

U. S. OLYMPIC TEAM
TO HAVE NO SPARES

The American Olympic committee,
says an official bulletin, hopes to "cut
out a great deal of the friction which

testants for the 1928 games to a bare
working minimum"
In other words, no substitutes will
be taken and the competitors will be
limited to the number Of actual start
ers in each sport.
Substitutes have caused no little
embarras sment in the past to Olympic
officials, especially when the ''spares,"
by the time their events roll around,
happened to display bit better form
than some of the regulars.
Such situation caused some feel

ROME, June 11.-F'resh from his
victory over William t. Tilden in the

court championship at ST. Cloud,
Rene Lacoste today defeated the
Italian national champion, Baron de

opening game of the Italian-French
Davis Cup elimination play
The French ace, however, only
pulled the match out of the fire in
the fifth set. the score being 2-6,
Go, 6-2, Go, G-1.
Much cratic playing coupled with
splendid work on the part of Baron
de Morphurgo gave Lacoste hard
run.
Henri Cochet, who defeated the
youthful Giorgio de Stefani, 6-1,
6-3, 6-3, had little trouble in dis
posing of the match.
A brilliant audience, including
Minister of Finance Volpi, many

the matches.
With two victories scored, the
French need only to take one of the
three remaining matches to elimin-
ate Italy from the Davis Cup play.

A NNAPOLdS, June II. - The
~ graduation of the class of

4 q not only the largest in the
history Of the institution, but
one of great athletic ability, will
cripple most of the teams severely and
make it difficult for the athletic Off
Gals to maintain the standard in all

The situation is made more difficult
by the fact that next years gradual
ing class is very small, containing
ony few over 200 members, and can
not begin to take the place in ath-
letiCs of the class which has gradu-
ated. There is such a dearth of ath-
letic material in this class that some
teams have had to so to lower classes
for their captains next year.
Grid Squad Loses Many.
The situation as to foot ball was
anticipated. and every effort was made
to develop new material, particularly
from last years plebe class, during
Spring practice In foot ball and
other sports, reliance will be placed
largely on the material which this
class, fortunately a good one in ath.
letics, will yield.

by graduation than any other team,

ANN ARBOR, Mich, June II R).-
A duplicate of the Oldest known foot
ball illustration is sought by Fielding
H, Yost, director of athletics, for the
eastern facade of a new University
of Michigan stadium.
The bas-relief which Yost wants
copied is a panel on block of marble
in an Athens museum, showing six
youths playing foot ball. Forward
passes are older than the Caesars.
The marble shows player catching
the ball and preparing to throw it.
Two forwards are about to follow
the throw with a charge.
Scholars do not know the exact age
of the carving, but it is older than a
wall built before Ats BIC. into which
it was set. Its presence in the wall
indicates the truth Of Herodotus'
statement that ancient builders, when
material was scarce, used in their
structures any old tombstones or
statue bases they could find.
