Wv WIMBLEDON, England, July 4.
Americas hopes Of win
wv ming a Wimbledon singles
championship this year are
left to rest on the slim but
capable shoulders of two girls from
California, Helen Wills and Helen
Jacobs, while France holds a monopoly
on the mems event.
For the fifth time in six years the
masculine stars of the tennis world are
on the outside looking in at the all
French final. Henri Cochet and Jean
Borotra are the rivals for the greatest
of the worlds tennis crowns this year.
Cochet reached the last round yesterday
by downing the last American hope, Big
Bill Tilden, while Borotra eliminated
Englands contender, Bunny Austin.
Tilden'S final shot at the Wimbledon
title, which he won twice in the palmy
days of his great career on the courts,
was not without glory. although he SUI
fered the worst defeat he has ever re-
ceived from the Frenchman. Big Bill
still was great in his mastery of shot
making and court strategy, but he
lacked the finishing punch to put over
the winning point. Time after time he
would go ahead only to have the I'M
IIu1IlCO NOCACI Nuk oOWtA SAAO ACoN 0AAA
win the game.
A magnificent rally in the third set
was Tilden's final gesture. Trailing by
two sets and at match point in the
third, the ,lanky American started his
great rally. From 81 in games and
40 love in points, Big Bill fought his
way through to even the set, but 1t was
too late and Cochet won two more
games to take the match in straight
sets.
Today Americas two Helens decide
whether the final Of the woman's singles
Is to be an all-American event as the
mems final is all-French. Miss Wills
meets Miss Elsie Goldsack of England
in one semi-final match, while Miss
Jacobs opposes another young British
star, Miss Joan Ridley, who advanced
yesterday at the expense of the games
grand old woman, Mrs. May sutton
Bundy. The advance predictions all
favor the two American girls as the
finaliStS.
The mems doubles, which share the
center court with the women today, also
bring hope Of an American victory
and possibly an all-American Anal.
Two teams of brilliant young PLAYERS
from the United States remain in the
running along with the veterans, Tilden
and Frank Hunter. The oldest and the
youngest are sent against each other
In one Of today's matches, Tilden and
Hunter meeting John Van Ryn and
Wilmer Allison. while the American
champions, John Hennessey and George
Lott, oppose j. C. Gregory and I. @, COL
Inns, Englands strongest pair.

Note Hagen play the shot. One
thing is apparent. Il is that his
straight left arm hit seems to be
made with the back of the whole
left forearm. Try hitting your irons
that way. Smash through as though
hitting with the entire back of the

has been hit. It will add materially

COACHES JARsDOWN
ON BIG TEN LOSERS
Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana
and Iowa Seek Causes of
Unexpected Beatings.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ HICAGO, october 14.-Foot ball
practice in at least four big
ten camps will be no picnic
~ this week, as Michigan, Wis
consin, Iowa and Indiana, all
parties of the second part in Satur-
days upsets, seek to learn what caused
them to lose to supposedly inferior
forces and to try to eradicate the trou-
bles.
Michigan, victim in the biggest up
set of the day, learned from Purdue
that its line lacks much of being the
kind of forward wall title contender
must have. The Purdue backs5 Alex
Yunevicll, Pest" WEIGH and Glen Har-
meson, tore through the Michigan wall
almost at will, in the final period par
ticularly with plenty or help from their
own forwards.
Michigan will tackle Ohio state at
Ann-Arbor Saturday, while Purdue will
get "breather" when De Paw goes to
Lafayette. Ohio snaked out a 7-to-6
decision over Iowa for another I'M
looked-for win. The Hawkeyes were
more powerful than Ohio State, out
gaining the Buckeyes by good margin:
but lacked a scoring punch. They VIII
seek vindication for the lapse next Sat
urday. when Illinois goes to Iowa City
to start its campaign for its third
straight pennant.
Easy for Illinois.
The Illini easily defeated Bradley
Tech by As to 0 in Their final warm-up
contest Saturday.
Northwestern's Wildcats. perpetrator
of another jolt to the dope which left
Wisconsin on the short end Of 7-to-0
score. will take on Minnesota's powerful
team Saturday. Northwestern will meet
Bruder, it's great halfback. Bruder's
leg was broken in helping the w Id
cats to win, and Coach Dick Handley
faces a big job in trying to develop a
replacement for his star.
The Badgers, ranked as one of the
most dangerous contenders for the big
ten title before they met Northwestern,
will meet Notre Dame in Chicago at
Solder Field SATURDAY.. The Ramblers
conquered the Navy Saturday and fig
ure to be too strong for Wisconsin. but
vindication.
Gophers Show Power. >.
The big tens intersectional offering
for Saturday will be presented at
Bloomington, where Indiana will enter
tain Colgate The Hoosiers will be hunt
ing trouble following their surprise de-
feat by Chicago Saturday. and the team
from the East will be after the big ten
scalp they failed to lift at Wisconsin
two weeks ago.
Chicago. owner of It's first conference
victory since 1927, will engage in an
other double header Saturday, with In
diana Normal and Rpon furnishing the
opposition on Stagg Field. Minnesota
got away to a good start with 15-to-6
decision over Vanderbilt. The Gophers
displayed the same powerful running
attack that has characterized their play
s.nce DR.. Spears took charge, and
Northwestern appears to be in for a
tough afternoon.
