Ut rs not often that eagles are scored
on the golf courses about WaSn-
inpton. even in these days OF the
lively golf ball and the lengthy
wallop from the tee. But yeSCer-
day, on two widely separated courses
two Of these elusive birds were baggeo,
one coming at washington from the
dock of the Washington ball CUPS
outfield, and the other from the trench
ant blade of G. C. Todd. Rice made
his eagle on the eighth hole at Indian
Spring, holing a spade shot OF LAD yaroS
for the deuce on this par analr anu
thereby becoming little less than q
pain In the neck to Bill Smith, Joe
Judge and c. F. O'Connen.
Todd's eagle was an ace on the plIlCh
hole at the washington Golf and Coun-
try Club, hole on which not mort
the hole was opened for play ABOUT
seven years ago. 1t came, strangely
enough. from q full shot played with
a No. 1 iron into the bank short OF tne
green, the ball bouncing up with JUST
enueh force to roll over the elevated
edge of the green and into the cup.
Todd was playing in a game with Dr.
E. E. Huffer and DR.. w. j. snow. Ihat
ninth hole at Washington has oeen
singularly unproductive OF aces, perhaps
because of its character, for the hole
rates as one of the most difficult one
shelters about the Capital, even though
it is but 100 yards long. The front
edge of the green is raised above the
fairway and q ball struck on the green
itself often goes over, while Dali
which hits into the bank stops short.
Todd's ball had just suflcient run left
to hop the short bank and roll into
the cup.
Rice's eagle 2 on the eighth hole at
Indian Spring came at time when the
ball player, who probably Is the best
of the many southpaw golfers about
washington, was not going SO gooo.
But Rice got himself all peppeo up Dy
the, deuce and proceeded to make a
par on the ninth hole to get out In
35. and finish the round with fine
card of 70. Rice's ball hit about 10
yards short Of the pin and rolled true
to the hole, dropping In without any
Question of the merit of the shot. The
hole is 385 yards long.
And day before yesterday John Leo
Coontz scored an ace on the thirteenth
hole at Rock Greek Park. Playing In
a two-ball game with James J. N. MIL
Ter, Coontz holed his iron tee shot on
this 174-yard affair. The ace did not
aid his score very much, however, for
he played the last nines holes III 46
strokes just the same.
That fifth green at Rock Creek Park,
which has been a trouble maker for
many years because Of inadequate
drainage, has been entirely rebuilt and
made into q green which would delight
any greenkeeper's eye. The green's
force yesterday completed resodding the
putting surface and today are filling
with sand deep and large bunker

Iowa Is Better Tested.

II has been a better passing team than

With no intent to put poison on Pur-

that Iowa has been tested in tougher
contests. Purdue has defeated Michi-
pan. Chicago and Wisconsin. Iowa has
met Ohio State, Wisconsin, Chicago, u
linois and Minnesota. Iowa Is the f1rSt
of the topnotch teams this season that
Purdue has met.
GOphers Are Powerful.

I wish we were as certain Of winning

TILDEN FINDS 4
 GOOD AUDIENCE
EntertalnS Late Diners at One Of
 LOndOn'S Smart Restaurants

London, Dec. 2G R)-Bill Tildcn, restaurant entertainer at last has found an audience to suit Bill Til den. sometime tennis player.
 Big Bill likes the job of entertain ing late dinners at one of London'S smart restaurants "vcry much"
 He admitted it is all very differ cnt-having those he is cntertaning almost on top of him instead of at , careful distance in bloachcrs bchinr q wire screen. But he accust omcd himself to it and even learned 10 cn joy the presence Of the bcautifu, lady sitting at q ring side table under his left elbow.
 They were very nice. these people who came 10 eat and rcmaind to listen to my monologuc," said the recent acquisition to the ranks of Narety. "They were quiet and inter- ested, and gave mo their full atten- ton.
 Personally l think they are the best audience I have ever found When l did q long swing on the vau- deVille circuit at home l found the audience very hard to work with. They were gathered from too many varied sources; they weren't as so- phisticated as these, and a onc-man act like mine has to have one-pur- pose audience to play to for the best results"
 A tennis crowd. said Bill was simply an accidental adjunct to a good match. They just happened to be thCrc, like the center court and the hot dog stands around the grounds.
 "When you play tennis. the game is the thing he said. mot the show you arc putting on. If the audience is pleased, that's fine. But if it isn't pleased, weIl--thats just too bad.
 With this job your sole purpose is to please the audience and to eu- certain them with what you have to offer"
 Tidcn's legitimate theatrical vcn- turc was brief and rather unfortu- natc, but he thinks it was great fun. Even though the play ran only four weeks in the provinces and was ncv- CT brought to London. he figures that he gained a lot of valuable cXpcri- cncc and will be Il better actor for 1t.
 With the conclusion of his Lon don engagement q few days ago, Bill the entertainer returned to his old role of Bill the tennis idol. He went to Paris, where he is to take part in the covered courts Christmas cup tournament, beginning today. With Charles Kingsley of England as his partner. he plans to go to the Ri viera in February to spend q couple of months playing at Monte Carlo with his young protegc Junior coen.
 With sudden Vehemencc Bill be- came the Tilden of tennis as he re- iterated his assertion that under no circumstances would he become q member of the 193O Davis Cup team.
 Absolutely not" he declared. The suave actor had vanished and there was the Tilden of international ten his fame.
 There are lots of younger play CTS who could be groomcd and could be backed pretty confidently 10 bring the cup back 10 the United states. Right now l could name part of the team I would sclect--Allison Van Ryn, Lott and Junior Cocn, for a start"
 Then, 'by the way, did you sec my show" the actor came back.
