Last week in the Delaware State
championship, at Wilmington, Seligson
got the surprise of his life when he was
beaten by Bradshaw Harrison, Univer-
sity Of Oregon. Harrison Is only one OF
half dozen youths who are going to
be tough in the Intercollegiate.
The others are John Doeg, Stanford
University, who ranks eighth national
ly; Berkeley Bell, peppery little Texan;
Gregory Mangin, Georgetown, and Har-
ris Coggeshall, finalists in the Eastern
intercollegiate championship; Ben Cor
chakoff, Occidental College, runner-up
at Merton the last two years, and En-
NETT Pare, Georgetown.
Besides these seeded stars there are
Bruce Barnes, Texas, who will bear
watching; Eddie Jacobs, University of
Pittsburgh, who beat Doeg at Whining
ton. and members Of the Oxford Cam
bridge team.
All Are Closely Grouped.
All these youngsters are so closely
grouped that there isn't one who stands
out above the rest, so it is difficult to
try TO pick the winner. I think Seligson
has as good an opportunity as any
put the chances are against his coming
through so fine field, just as they are
against any other player.
II DoegS ground strokes are better
ne Will be serious contender, and
have heard that he has made con-
siderable progress with his ground
game, despite the fact Jacobs beat him
at Wilmington. That was Johnny's first
play on grass this year, and any one
who has played on the hard courts of
California knows you can't put up your
best tennis the first week you change
to turf. One Of Doeg's biggest jobs will
be to get by Barnes in his first match.
Berkeley Bell is bulldog who doesn't
know how to quit and the man who
beats him win have to be good. The
same can be said Of CoggeshalI and
Mangin.
Any one who looks over this great
field Of college youths and says Anneri-
can tennis IS in the doldrums must be
suffering from astigmatism. We never
had finer bunch of college gamecocks
In them lies the United States hope of
regaining its lost laurels.

their ability to win-such golfers as
Jones, Hagen, Horton Smith, Mac
Smith, Mehlhorn, Diegel, Armour
and Sarazen.
The first championship is always the
hardest, yet few ever win as many as
two. OF those now entered, Hagen has
two and Jones has two. Farrell, Sara
zen, Barnes, Armour, MacFarland and
Mcleod have only one. It has been
seven years since Sarazen won at Skokie
and he has never been able to crowd In
another.
Yet Farrell may flnd the strain light

After completing their long day at a. m.. the platoon, if un- der orders to parade, would be lc- qulred to report at 9:30 o'clock, march from 10 to 12:3O and then rt- turn to their homes. reporting again for duty at 6 o'clock.

 Despite the enormous wealth of the princes and other potentates of India the masses of the people live in poverty. The average individual income of India's 300. 100000 people is estimated at less than the equiva- lent of $25 annually. British rule has brought two blessings to India, the building of railroads which avert the regional famines which, in the past. dealt death to thous- ands, and protection of her north- west border against invasion by ma rauding tribesmen."

 Although lacking in quality and quantity of jewels. the retainers of the rajahs, in their voluminous tur- bans and richly colored coats, are almost as picturesque as their rul- ers.

Their tusks arc cut off and bound with brass rings. In some states they are provided with solid gold ankle bands, and arc tattoed with shawl effect on their forheads and ears. One ruler has a solid gold pavilion mounted on the back of his favorite elephant, and others gild these howdahs and hang them with gorgeous trappings and tapestry curtains

Washington. D. C., May II - The recent report of the Indian States committee opposing the federation of the Indian native states and the British administration in India. tends to perpetuate the picturesque rulers of the hundreds of little and big states in the giant peninsula Of India.
 According to a bulletin from the Washington, D. c. headquarters Of the National Geographic Society. these rulers. although they have adopted western dress and customs for many occasions, still are among the most colorful potentates of the east.
 Fortunes in Jewels
 Consider the Maharaja of Patiala in festive array it you would have 2 true picture of eastern splendor and color" the bullentin continues. "He wears a diamond tiara from which hang loops of diamonds, pearls and emeralds. Around his neck is & three row pearl collar and, on his breast. an emerald breast plate. His coat is of rich brocade, and his hand rests upon a diamond -hilted sword sheathed in a velvet scabbard stud ded with diamonds. On his fingers are diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pearls.
 "Patiala's Maharaja is outshone by other princes in the splendor of their jewels. One ruler has a car- pet of pearls. eight by ten feet. Maharaja Holkar of Indorc has 4 carpet of gold in his throne room and tall gold chairs. The Gaekwar 1 (Prince) of Baroda's treasure in- cludes gun-carriages and cannons Of gold. White bullocks, with silver capped horns and brocaded trap pings, convey these cumbersome carriages through the streets in of- ficial parades.
