WOMEN IN SPORT

Her strength will not permit of the
speed required to beat the pest of man
players. Her build will not permit of
the court covering necessary to superb
ority over them. She may cover court
amazingly we'll, but not well enough to
check the volleying or net attack that
a man like Hunter can uncork. Nor
can she control their speeding drives
sufficiently to drive her male opponents
to the corners and thus make con-
sistent openings for her own net ad-
vance.
Comparing men and women's tennis
would be like attempting to compare
Wagner'S operas to musical comedy"
says Tilden. Each has its class and
place and one need not have any in
f1uence on the other. although both are
music. Hunter and Lott could give two
points each game to either Miss Wills
or Mrs. Mallory and beat them as they
pleased. This is not said TO detract
from the ability of the women. So far
as their game goes in its class, they
are just as great artists as Hunter or
Lott. but the physical limitations of
height. weight. speed of foot and bodily
structure prohibit women ever attain
ing a skill equal to men in tennis"
Continuing his discussion on womens
tennis. Tilden says some very interest
ing things about the relative ability of
Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills.
IAN interesting question of a few
years ago. he writes. was the relative
ability of Helen Wills and Suzanne
Lenglen. am forced to admit that un-
til her retirement from amateur tennis,
Mile. Lenglen was supreme among
women. Miss Wills Is a marvellous play
er of great power and stamina, yet
even her marvellous force could not quite
overcome the machine-like perfection
and subtle court craft of the famous
French girl. Suzanne Lenglen by her
victory over Helen Wills on the Riviera
several years ago stood forth unchal-
lenged as champion of the world. She
played. she won and to her went all the
credit for splendid victory. But Helen
Wills, by her magnificent defense and
sturdy opposition to Lenglen. proved
that there is but single step III the
future between her own and the skill of
her French rival"

These drawbacks have been over

work of number of the old players
and recruits from the plebe squad OF
last season.
Clifton and Lloyd. the mainStays of

eral of the Inexperienced backs are
doing even better than had been ex-
pected of them.
The situation in the line is rapidly
clearing. particularly as to the ends.

Moret, change ends of last year, seem
to have the edge at present, while Byng.
with the plebe eleven last year, and
Ricketts, are pressing them hard. There
are several other good end candidates.
The practices of the week have de-
veloped the fact that the plebes, who
were very strong last year, are likely
to have another fine team this season,
under the tutelage of Tom Hamilton.
With an earlier start than the varsity
by about two weeks, the plebes have a
considerably greater variety of plays and
appear to be in better physical condi-
ton. In the two scrimmages against
the varsity they have had rather the
better of it, though this condition is
not likely to last.
Among the new varsity backs who
have been doing particularly good work
in practice are Kohlas, who has been
on the squad one season, and 10th,
Crane and McCracken, who were plebes
last year. McCracken is a stocky line
hitter, and the others are running
backs.

~ Coaches John w. Wilce of Ohio
State and Burt Ingwerson of
Iowa. who have been the targets of
alumni criticism for their failure to
turn out winning foot ball teams during
the 1927 season.
Eighty candidates responded to Wilce's
call, while 60 turned out at Iowa for
the initial practice of the 1923 season
Saturday, and the prospects in both
camps were more than bright.
DR. Wilce, who has announced his
retirement next June to practice medi-
cine. said he was going into his last
ing it a success.
considerable criticism has been lev
eled at me during the past year, and
this season 1 am going to give it every
consideration as l try to whip up a
winning eleven. My single interest is
success, and I believe my boys are with
me and have the stuff in them to win"
Wilce's first move was to bar all spec
tators except newspaper men from the
workouts. No reason was given for the
order, which is usually withheld until
late in the season or a day or two be-
fore a crucial contest.
The first lineup Saturday indicated
the Buckeyes would have powerful
line and one of the fleetest backfields
in the Big Ten. Return of Eby, Cory,
Kriss. Huston and Fouch and other
speedy backs: Leo Raskowski, ALL
American tackle in 1927, and other vet
eran linemen, have given Wilce strong
nucleus to work around
Among the Iowa candidates were Is
veterans and % freshmen, numeral WIN
ners of 1927. Coach Ingwerson'S great
est hope, however, rested on the brawny
shoulders of Mayes w. McLain. Indian
fullback. who piled up 253 points in 13
games at the Haskell Institute in 1926.
McLain. who weighs 210 pounds and
stands 6 feet inches tall, is powerful

Coach Ingwerson, who has the sup
port and confidence of the athletic de-
partment. has been pointing to his 1923

FARRELL WINS; TIES
SERIES WITH HAGEN
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 17.-Johnny
Farrell and Walter Hagen were all
square today in their series of five
matches for the unofficial world golf
championship"
Farrell, holder of the national open
championship, defeated "Sir Walter"
the British open titleholder, in the
fourth 36-hole encounter at the Siwanoy
Country Club yesterday l up. and
thereby evened the series at two vic
tories apiece. Hagen won the first two
matches, at Detroit and Chicago while
Farrell took the third, at Philadelphia.
The fifth and deciding match now is to
be staged, although the date and scene
have not yet been selected.
Hagen lost his chance to capture the
title without the necessity of another
mat-h by running into difficulties on
the iast five holes Hagen jumped into
the lead on the first hole of the morning
round and never was down until the
thirty-f1fth in the afternoon. He was
2 up at the end of the first 9, / up
at the end of 18 and up after 81 had
been played, and only twice during that
time could Farrell square the match.
After taking the thirty-flrSt. to be 2
up, Hagen took a 6 on the thirty
second and 5 on the thirty-third,
while Farrell was down in 4 on both.
That squared the match. A on the
thirty-fifth made Farrell dormie l, the
first time he had been in the lead. The
match ended at the home hole, which
was halved in SIS.
Each scored TBS in the morning
round. one over par, but Hagen took
a n in the afternoon to 10 for the
national open champion

VIRGINIA TO START
DEVELOPING ATTACK

UNIVERSITY, Va, September IT.
Virginia's varsity foot ball squad will
begin the third week of practice today
by concentrating upon the plays that
are to be used in the early games with
Randolph-Macon, South Carolina and
Princeton.
As each day passes it becomes more
clear that the success of the Cavaliers
this season will depend in great
measure upon the reserve strength that
can be developed. Capt. Luke will head
one team composed almost entirely of
veterans, but outside of a handful of
men good substitute material is lacking.
For example, Faulconer, who won his
letter last Fall, is going to make a good
fullback for the first team. But sub
stitute fullback is lacking.
Dick DeButts and John Janney are
showing up well in their new positions.
Both are heavy, and their experience in
line play has made them good at block
ing and tackling. But they must learn
to carry the ball.
There is similar situation in regard
to ends, and Ivey. Davenpost, John
stone, Orrick and Bill Paxton have been
tried as UNDERSTANDS to the men who
were regular ends last year.

BIG TEN ENDS GIVEN
LATITUDE IN RULING

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 17.-Western
Conference coaches have completely
changed the new rule pertaining to the
shift SO as to prevent offensive PLAYERS
from having too much of an advantage
over members of defensive elevens.
At their Interpretation meeting the
coaches changed the rule whereby any
player on the end of the line. but no
other man, may move laterally but not
forward without penalty. The rule,
which will be invoked only in con-
ference contests, does not apply to backs
When the 15-yard penalty was placed
on all shift plays in which players do
not halt for approximately one second,
the rules committee desired the offensive
eleven should lose its momentum.
Under the new Big Ten interpreta-
ton the player at either end of the line
may be in motion before the ball is put
into play, but he must come to an alb
solute stop before the center passes the
ball.

In Paris odds of two and three to
one are being offered that Cochet will
succeed Rene Lacoste as American
champion. over here the odds are
shorter. but Cochet is none the less a
decided favorite.
Against the Frenchman's brilliant all
around game Hunter must depend
largely upon his tremendously powerful
forehand drive, backed up by the ade-

game he displayed during the past week:
Hunter already has played the part OF

are hoping he will repeat the role TO-
day. But even the optimlstS are
doubtful whether player Of Hunters
somewhat limited stroke equipment can
defeat Cociet, whose mastery OF strokes
and court generalship approaches per-
lection.
Against Lott in the semi-finals on
Saturday, Hunter won by combining
his regular game with his new-found
ability to volley and play the center
court. The stocky New Rochelle star
covered the court we'll and sent over
