DIXIE FOOT BALL COACH
GETS TIPS FROM PREXY

BY the Associated Press.
Here is a college president for the
book
Not often is there a learned educator
who can discuss inside foot ball and
team problems on an even footing with
the head coach, and rarer yet can a
college president attend foot ball prac-
tice and drop the coach a useful hint
afterward.
DR.. John ]. Tigert. president of the
University Of Florida, is the exception.
Coach Bachman of Florida lists DR..
Tigert as among his foot ball assets.
He can watch practice a few days
and then tell me exactly how to handle
each boy" said Bachman. He Is a
keen psychologist and knowing the game
as he does, he Is a great help to the
foot ball establishment. During the
game he sits quietly by and watches
the play-and afterward find he is
struck by points that only coaches
usually are concerned with"

MEH[HORN VICTOR
IN MET GOLF PLAY
"WiId Bill" Turns in Score
of 288-McCarthy Leads
Amateur Golfers.
ONGBEACH, N. Y. July 20 up.
Wild Bill Mehlhorn, who was


not wild today, played great
IL round of golf when he needed it
to win the Metropolitan cham
pionShip today with a 72-hole score OF
2S8-a magnificent achievement over the
difficult Lido course, hard by the sea and
subject to the vagaries of every wind
that blows from the bounding surf
To slip in ahead of Wilfred (Wiffy)
Cox, brilliant, but somewhat cratic
his final round in &c. giving him a
three stroke edge. Cox had previously
compiled a highly creditable 29l for
the four rounds
Cox, who shares the honors of the
competition with the no longer wild
Mehlhorn, placed himself in the fore
front Of the picture in the third round
this morning, when he covered the Is
treacherous holes of the Lido course in
81 strokes, new course record. It
developed when Metropolitan Golf
Association officials disqualified Arthur
d. Potter, who reported score of I'd
yesterday.
1t was announced before Potter had
completed his final round that he had
been disqualified for returning an in
correct score" His playing companion
Harry Hunerhoff, who yesterday at
tested the score OF 81, told Metropolitan
score was really in the neighborhood OF
80. PotterS tlrst, round was an ever
80, and he was in the SOS in both
rounds today.
Secretary John A. Ladds of the
Metropolitan Golf Association said, in
making the announcement, that nc
entry from either Potter or Hunerhof1
would be accepted TOR future Metro
politan Golf Association competitions
Mehlhorn had a great chance to tie
the record which clipped three strokes
from performance OF 10, two by Mac
Donald Smith and one each from Bobby
Jones and Jack Forester. Bill came up
to the home hole needing par 4 for
81, but he fell victim to his putting
nemesis. which had not raised its head
until it was too late to do him any ap-
preciable harm. We'll on the green with
n great No. / iron shot, his approach
putt went 10 feet past the cup and he
missed coming back.
Henry CiucI, finishing with a great
10, slipped into third place with score
of 294, and Leo Diegel and Jim Barnes
tied for fourth at 298. Bracketed at
300 were Gene Sarazen, Macdonald
Smith and Craig Wood.
Maurice Mccarthy, jr., led the anna
teurs with a total of 302. Mike Brady
and Bobby Cruickshank tied for tenth
place with scores of 304.
Mehlhorn succeeds Tommy Armour a.;

fend his title.

williams has put more upon the
record books in the course OF the last
year than any other Splinter. But
Williams and Simpson would have to
meet in more than one race before
the sprinting supremacy could be off,
cially awarded.
TT Is to be hoped that Jess Sweetser
will find time and opportunity to
make the trip to Pebble Beach for the
next amateur golf championship.
Sweetser proved that he had come
back to his old stride when he stepped
around Sleepy Hollow at an average
of II for three rounds. His last two
rounds Of 70-6S were up to anybody's
best.
Sweetser is a fine match play COM
petitor. He is one of the NOSE deter
mined golfers in the hunt, a golfer
with a lot of fiber who is always hard
to discourage. He hasn't had the
chance to play much golf since his
return from the British amateur Of
1925, but he has apparently picked up
most of his old form. Sweetser's fine
iron play makes him double formidable.
He has little bend or break in his
wrists at the top of the swing, and that
seems TO give him better control. The
simplicity of his swing is one of its
leading features Sweetser would be
a factor at Pebble Beach. He isn't
sure that he can take the time away for
a California jaunt, but he has had SO
little time off in the last few years
he may decide that he needs a vaca-
ton.
THE French can wait for the verdict
i in the final zone round Of the
Davis Cup without any active tremors
of dismay. AS long as they have
Cochet and Lacoste still under 80,
with a Borotra and a Brugnon to call
on, there will be little to worry about.
They occupy about the same position
that Tilden and Johnston held from
1921 through 1925. They are fully
as hard to beat There is almost no
such thing as the impossible in sport,
but stopping Cochet and Lacoste Is at
least near the impossible. Both are
young and around their peak. Thee
may start slipping soon, but they
haven't started yet. Either would have
been a tough match for Tilden when
Tilden was at his best, and Tilden

T|LDEN UNLIKELY
TO QUIT j. S. PLAY
Believed He Will Continue to
Figure in National Title
Journeys.
TT Is not believed that william TIL

i donment of national tourney play

L Is not believed that william TIL
den's announced retirement from
international tennis includes aban-
i donment of national tourney play
although, of course, it may.
But the official idea Is that Big Bill
will participate in the nationals this
year and perhaps for several years TO
come. It is hoped in any event, that
he will, in as much as Tilden, even in
these days Of waning form, is still an
inspiring competitor to watch, is color
full and hence drawing card.
Tilden will be So years old next Feb
rIary. But his career as an outstand-
ing world figure has not been so lengthy
as his age might imply. While his ex-
perience of lawn tennis began when he
was Z years old, Tilden came into his
own at comparatively late age.
At ages when Vincent Rogers, Helen
Wills and Maurice Mclaughlin were
internationally prominent, Tilden was
player Of merely local reputation and
not top flight performer at that.
It was not until 1916, when he was
%, that he began to impress observers
with an idea of potential greatness.
The impression was strengthened the
next year, but 1t was not until 1915
then in his 25th year-that he won for
himself place on the Davis Cup team
and ranking among the first ten of
American lawn tennis specialists.
That year he was rated No. 2, and III
1919 he was again SO ranked, after a
somewhat surprising defeat by William
Johnston in the national of that year
But in 1920, after he had fought his
way up through field of 100 contend
ers in the all-comer at Wimbledon and
then in the final defeated Gerald Pat
terson, 2-6, 6-3, 60, Ga, he took
rank as the worlds greatest and
clinched this reputation later that year
by routing William Johnston at Forest
Hills.
Then Lacoste and Cochet came along
and Tilden, still at the peak of great
ness, beat them at first. Then their
youth and his years at length told, Sc
that, while he has won blazing in
ternational match in the past three
seasons at occasional intervals, the
story of enhanced years has moved in
exorably toward Ito inevitable con-
clusion. *

CARR FINDS FORM

Pole Vault Champion, Out for
Season, Unable to Reach
Own Mark.

NV he Is likely to find, If busi-
ness occupies him exclusive
ly, that short year suffices
10 rob him Of that form, that ability,
that stuff Of genius which made him a
champion.
Last Winter when Fred Sturdy, the
Yale pole vaulter, did IA feet he gave
every promise of going over the stick
at greater altitude than any one had
ever done 1t before. This meant that
Sabin Cars world record would go I .
the boards. And In addition to Sturdy
there were Jim Williams of Southern
California and Ward Edmonds Of Stan
ford, aiming to break Cars world fig
ure If the Yalensian did not.
Now world record Is priced pos
session. 1t means something to have
held 1t, to have been the earth's out
standing performer in any particular
speciality, even II in course of time
another hero has come forward to clip
seconds from a track event, to add
inches or feet to field feature. How
much more valuable, therefore, is a
record that stands intact. that remains
unbroken over a year or a span Of
years in the mind of the man who
holds 1t.
Hearing of the exploits of Sturdy
and the rest, Carr. just a year out of
college, immersed In affairs at his home
in Iowa. decided that he would go into
training, participate in the national A.
A. u. meet in Denver and convince
the world that he was still its out
standing pole vaulter.
He ordered equipment from the East
and set to work as earnestly as though
he was still striving for Old Ellis seat
of learning at New Haven. And then
after all his effort, Carr did not go to
Denver Why? He was never able
to lift himself over the stick at a dis
lance higher than H3 feet. And he
knew that would not do. So he stayed
out.
1t will be recalled that Fred Sturdy
won the A. A. u. title at Denver, doing
IS feet 914 inches. This was a rec
ord for the meet; but Cars world
record remains intact for another year
at least.
