NEBRASKA MENTOR

IntramuraI League Will Be
Grid SChooI-varsity
Faces Hard Year.
BY J., HI. ANDERSON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

T INCOLN, Neb., September 49,
Nebraska freshman gridironers--
the boys who will uphold Corn
IL husker foot ball prestige IN the
next four years-win not be
sighted in a program outlined by the
new head coach, Dana X. Bible.
There will be a regular freshman
squad, and in addition an intramurai
league for the others. AS a player IN
the league shows ability he will be
transferred to- the regular yearling
squad; If a squad member needs more
experience or fails to play up to stand
ard, he will be ''farmed out" to the
league.
Two games are down for the freshmen
this year under a new Big SIX ruling:
Missouri will be played at Lincoln and
Oklahoma at Norman.
But while the freshman coaching
staff is drilling husker foot ball into the
high school stars, Bible and his assist
ants have more vital task. They must
mold a Cornhusker team to defend the
Big Six title and maintain Nebraska s
excellent record in interSectional con-
fiictS.
The first three games on the schedule
bring the CornhuSkers against three
strong teams from other sections
Southern Methodist. Syracuse and Pitt.
Then the Big Six schedule begins with
Missouri, Husker nemesis for the three
seasons preceding 1928. and continues
straight through against Kansas. Okla
homa, Kansas Aggies and Iowa State,
with only one open date.
Nebraska this year hasn't blue

many critics thought deserved ALL

tire center of the line-Ted James,
center, and Elmer Holm and Dan Nc
Mullen, guards Three tackles, another
guard, a reserve center, an end and a
quarterback of last years team also
were lost by graduation or ineligibillty.
Capt. George Farley and the triple
threat back, Clair Sloan, head an i'm
posing group of ball luggers, which also
includes Willard (DutchD White, Clark
(Bud) Mcbride, Harold Frahm, Claude
Rowley, Robert Young and Harold
Peaker. Morris Fisher, Adolph Lewan-
dowski and Clifford Morgan are avail
able as ends and Marion Broadstone
and Raymond Richards loom as the
most likely looking tackles. But neither
the closest followers of Nebraska foot
ball nor the coaches want to hazard a
guess as to who will be at center and
guards for the 1929 Scarlet and Cream
machine.
Coach Bible. an exponent Of the open
game. does not plan to do away with
the favorite Cornhusker plays Of the
past seasonS-plays which pounded at
the opposing line until it was shattered
wide open. He will use both styles and
a team from the State he left to direct
Nebraska foot ball-Southern Methodist
at Dallas, Tex-will be the first to test
out the results OF his teaching.

along with some other French players, is
about to start on a world tour.
The absence Of the French players
made the entry list Of the National
Championship about the same as In any
of the local championships. 1t was
simply a question of whether or not
big Bill" could stand up physically in
four or five hard matches and this he
conclusively proved he was still able to
do.
Whatever worry the tall Philadel-
phian had in the tournament came in
the early rounds against the younger
players. for am quite sure that in his
own mind he knew that he had cap
tured his seventh national title, when
he conquered Doeg in the semi-finals.
Pro. Tourney u Next.
With the amateur tournament tennis
history, the deck is being cleared for
the National Professional Champion
ship that starts week from today on
the Stadium Courts. The tournament
Is being run under the auspices of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
and the professional body and marks
the second annual professional cham
pionShip held in this country.
With such famous stars on the entry
list as Karel KoZeluh, recognized as
the European professional champion;
Howard KinSey, former Davis Cup star;
Harvey Snodgrass, former first 10
player; Walter Westbrook, California
star; Charles Wood, well known local
pro; George Agutter. dean of the pro-
fessionals in this country, and host
of other well known professionals.
fully believe that the standard of play
will be as fine as has been seen on the
stadium courts this year.
Kozeluh seems TO be playing better
tennis than he did here last year, which
is saying a good deal for the great
Czechoslovakian player. During the
last year he has coached the English
and American Davis Cup teams prior
to the championship matches in Eu-
rope, and it is said that the COMPETE
ton against the various members of
each team has improved his game at
least Is per cent.
Watching him in practice matches
since his arrival in this country, have
seen a marked improvement in his net
play. He has always been essentially
q base-line player, much on the same
order as Rene Lacoste. But during
the last year he saw the need of a
good punching volley, and he went to
work to develop one. That he acquired
it in less than a year is an indication
of the natural aptitude Kozeluh has
for the game.

finger of the left. Then, as he closes
on the club with his right hand the
hams of his right completely cover
the left thumb and hide it from
view.
This right thumb passes bit over
the shaft and exerts its pressure on
the left side, same as does the left
thumb on the right side. This pres
sure of the right-hand hams against
the left thumb gives a feeling of
snugness to Tolley and enables him
to make the two hands work as one.
The difference between this grip and
the overlap is that in the latter the
little finger of the right fits over the
joint of the first finger of the left
hand. Tolley likes it better than the
overlap, as he claims it gives him a
greater feeling of security and free

title round yesterday, when they downed
Helen Philpitt and Peggy Keyser, Id,

Thrills a-plenty we're crowded into

in each brace at one time, and the ulti-

least six times before claiming the VIC

Three straight games went to Helen

the opening set. Misses Crist and Jolley
took the next three with equal decisive
ness. Then began a marathon which

make that statement in all SIN
certify, because I really believe that
nothing but a fighting heart won the
title last week. Naturally Tilden backed
it up with all the little tricks that only
he can call upon at crucial moments
in match play. But on the whole MS
game lacked the sting it had a few
years back.
In his match with Shields and Van
Ryn he was indeed fortunate to settle
the outcome in four sets, because had
he been pressed to do five sets against
those two boys his semi-final round en-
counter with Doeg would have been
almost an even bet.
As it was, had not the California boys
service cracked wide open in those last
two sets, final round of the champion
ship might have been an entirely diff
ferent story. Also had the entry list

Hunter fought with bulldog de-
termination throughout the entire
five sets, but he never was within
striking distance of the title at
any time during the match. 1t is
my opinion that had Tilden really
wanted to take the match in three
straight sets he could easily have
done so.
However, it must be remembered that
big Bill" did not have very easy
path to the final round. He was forced
to four sets by Frank Shields and John
Van Ryn, and his match with Johnny
Doeg in the semi-finalS must have sap
ped a good deal of his reserve strength.
That Is probably the reason the final
round went to five sets before the final
issue was settled.

l
M Bill Tilden, at SO, has won his.
seventh national singles tennis
crown, but only after the hard
est fight of his career.
A glance over the tall Philadelphian's
six matches in the championship would
indicate that several of the youngsters
whom Tilden defeated should gain;
enough in experience to be able to turn
the tables on the old master should he,
elect to try for the title again next year.
Except for his final round rival,
Frank Hunter. IS years old, Tilden's OPP
nents were drawn strictly from among
the younger set" of American tennis. =
Against Hunter, John Doeg of Santa
Monica, Calf; John Van Ryn of East,
Orange. N j.: Henry Culley of Har-;;
ward. Frank Shields of New York and
Donald Strachan of Philadelphia. TIL.
den won 10 sets and lost six; won $50
games and lost 1902. =
Two of his opponents, Hunter and ,
Doeg. carried Big Bill to five sets.
Against Van Ryn and Shields Tflden was
forced to play four sets. He beat Gull
ley in straight sets, two of which were
deuced. Only against Strachan did the
veteran score in easy fashion.
A comparison of this record with that
which Tilden compiled in winning his
sixth national title in 1925 reveals just
how much the Philadelphia has faded
in the interim. In that year Tilden con-
quered Carl Fischer. Lucien Williams,
Sadakazu Onda, Wallace Johnson, Vim

won IT'S games as compared with IS
