BRACEY FLEETEST,
ROCKNE BELIEVES
SIS a Streak" Noted Notre
Dame Coach Says-Likes
Starting Device.
BY ALAN J. GOULD,


n VIEW YORK. May 27.-Knute
Rockne, who knows his sprint
VI erS about as well as he does
i his foot ball players, casts a
ballot for Claude Bracey. the
Texas Tornado, as the fastest man he
has seen this season.
This is no scant praise from the
Rock Of Notre Dame" for he has one
Of the fastest of them all under his
own wing, Jack Elder, halfback and
conqueror Of Percy Williams, the
Olympic sprint king last Winter in
New York.
"Bracey is a streak" said Rockne,
who ofhciated at two meets in which
the Rice Institute star competed this
Spring. 'He is as good as any of them
off the marks and runs the last 40
yards Of the 100 faster than any man
ever saw.
He had the wind with him when he
did ga at Dallas, but on both that &C.
casion and the day before he beat
George Simpson of Ohio State by about
yards. You all know how good Simp-
son is"
Rockne puts his stamp Of approval
on the new starting blocks, the use Of
which in the East and West this Spring
has aroused some comment as well as
"They are practical Improvement, !"
said Rockne. They give the runner no
advantage, but they save wear and
tear on the track, besides equalizing the
actual starting conditions. Digging
holes in the track for the getaway is
old-fashioned and impractical"
There's always good-spirited rivalry
whenever representatives of Notre Dame
and Army get together, as they did yes
terday with Rockne sitting across the
luncheon board from Maj. Philip
Fleming, the manager Of athletics at
West Point.
I'VE will have a better team this
year." said Rock"
And SO will we," echoed Mai
Fleming. you know, Rock, it's our
turn to win from you next season."
Perhaps you had better worry first
about going out to play Illinois" Re
torted Rockne. They are all tough
out our way"
The tragic loss of Ed Hill. New York
University halfback, who was &C
cidentally shot and killed recently, has
upset the Violet backfield combination
for next Fall.
Hill not only was fine interfering
back, the real clean-out man, but he
directed our defense" said Chick
Meehan, the N. Y. U. coach. II am
having my troubles trying to replace
him"
Dave Myers. star Negro lineman, now
is being drilled by Meehan to fill the
big. gap left by Hills death.

range, and the japanese would not let
him get there. When he was not lob
bing over Van Ryn'S head with heart
breaking success, he was passing him
OH the side with his Slamming drives.
The American took terrible beating
in his efforts to get In his volleys, and
it was a wonder that he did not col
lapse. The feet that he was able to
come so close to victory as he did-he
was at match point in the tenth game
of the last Set-was made possible only
by the perfection Of his condition and
his great stamina.
The tennis that Ohta played in this
match was not only first ten tennis, but
it was close to as good tennis as Is
being played in the amateur ranks to-
day. I doubt whether Tiden would
against him, and had Big Bill taken
the punishment that Van Ryn did, I
don't think he could have lasted five
sets.
Is Lacking in stamina.
Whether Ohta can play that kind Of
tennis for five sets Is also question.
He was none too strong when play was
stopped on the first day, and am In
clined to believe that Van Ryn would
have won had the match been finished
that day. The "a hours rest restored
Ohta, and he was better even on the
second day than he was on the first.
In another year I look to see the
Japanese ace rank among the worlds
greatest amateurs. He is young and
he is game. He has wonderful speed
off the ground and he has great head
on him, as he showed In running Van
Ryn's net attack.
Abe also showed improvement over
last year, and II he makes as much
progress during the next IL months,
Japan will have a really formidable
pair to put into the Davis Cup arena.
Watch Japan in 1880.

YANK NETMEN PICKED
TO ROUT CUBAN TEAM

NEW YORK, May 27 OFF all
goes well, the United STAG; Davis
Cup team this week will win the
right to an ocean voyage to Europe
in general and Paris is particular.
Having eliminated Canada and
Japan in succession, the United
States squad faces Cuba at Detroit
, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in
the finals of American zone compe-
tition. A victory over the Cubans
will entitle John Hennessey, John
Van Ryn and their fellow team
members to trip Paris to meet the
winners of the European zone elini-
nations. Triumph in that series
would give the United States its Sec
ond chance in two years to regain
the Davis Cup from the defending
French. =
Although the Cubans, Gustavo
Vollmer, Ricardo Morales and Ouco
Upmann easily eliminated Mexico In
their only previous test, they are not
expected to do more than push Van
Ryn and Hennessey in the final
round. In 10 matches against Japan
and Canada the United States drop
ped only one, Van Ryn falling before
Yoshiro Ohta Of Japan in flve-set
battle.

To any one who saw Ohta in 1928 IL
was unbelievable that he could beat
Van Ryn. I saw the japanese captain
in the tie with the United States al
Chicago last June, and little dreamed
that he would turn out to be the player
that he showed himself at Chevy Chase.
During the past year, however, Onta
has worked on his game with the cnar-
acteristic intensity of his race for I'M.
provement, and he has really WORKED
wonders in so short time.
Style Like Kumagae's
I was struck at the time saw Ohta
in Chicago last year with the resem-
gae's. Kumagae ranked in our first ten
some ten years ago, and Ohta easily
belongs in that group now. His FORE
hand is made with the same western
grip that Kumagae used and Shimlzu
after him. The face of the racket is
parallel to the ground, and he uses the
same side for both his forehand and
backhand. A tremendous amount OF top
spin Is put on the ball with this stroke,
and this spin bothered Van Ryn con-
siderably. This spin usually slows up
the stroke to a certain degree; put mere
was nothing slow about OhtaS snots.
He hit with such hurricane speed tnat
the ball fairly shot across the net, and
his control was astonishing.
But what was most unusual about
the JapaneSe'S game OF all was his lop-
bing. thought that the Kinsey
Brothers had developed this stroke to
the point Of its greatest effectiveness
some years ago, but the Kinseys never
gave a greater exhibition of lobbing In
doubles than Ohta did in this singles
match. He broke Van Ryn's heart with
this shot, although against Hennessey
in the final match it was not so good
o defensive weapon.
Van Ryn had to get to the net TO
win, for he couldn't beat Ohta at Ion

TED UP ON GOLF"

N YEW YORK, May 27.-Leo Diegel,
~ who finished third in the Brit
ish open-golf championship
l. after setting the early pace. is
back home fed up on golf"
but only temporarily.
Right now I'm dead tired of golf,'
he said. I'll be all right, though, in a
week, when will begin to get in shape
for the open"
Two other members of the Ryder Cup
team, Al Watrous and John Golden, re-
turned with Diegal
Diegel spoke up in defense of his team
captain, Walter Hagen, who has been
subjected to some criticism in England
for canceling arrangements for two
matches with Archie Compston.
Walter is all in" declared the P. G.
A. champion. HE simply can't play
serious golf now. He is worn out just
as am, and the same thing applies to
the other fellows.
This steady diet of golf along the
line Of the so-called invasion is a big
order. Walter wanted me to take his
place against Compston. but couldn't
do it. Right now I need rest"

If you carefully note Bobby Jones
stance on the tee you will see that
he stands almost erect, does not
reach out far for the ball and that
his feet are closer together than
those Of any other stars playing in
the same event. I'd say his feet are
directly under the lines running
straight from his shoulders to the
ground. You'll also note that there
is a slight bend to his knees. He
says that his weight at stance is on
the balls of his feet.
His stance is almost square. That
is, the line through his toes is al
most parallel to the direction he
wishes to drive the ball. There Is a
slight, very slight, withdrawal of the
left foot, as noted in the diagram.
But what one should notice in par
ticular Is where he stands in ref
erence to the ball. Glenna Collett
says she plays 1t off her left heel.
Jones plays 1t off his left instep.
He finds that this enables him to
hit the ball with low trajectory and
impart the run to 1t that adds SO
much to his distance. It took him
many years to locate this spot.

BOARD IN
SCHOOL NEED

Blame for the failure Of Congress
to appropriate sufficient funds for
District schools was laid to incorrect
estimates of increase in students,
submitted by school officials, by Sen.
ator Arthur Capper, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, in a state
ment yesterday in reply to letter
from DR.. Charles f. Carusi, presi-
dent of the Board Of Education.
While Senator Capper agreed with
DR.. Carusi that lack OF sufficient
funds from Congress was one rea-
son for the inadequate school facili.
ties here, the blame bOomersnged
back to the school officials Ia the
Senator's statement.
Causes Confusion
"It would be unjust, however"
Senator Capper said, ito lay the
blame for this condition on the APP
preparations Committee of Congress.
They are guided in their decisions by
the recommendations of school Off
cials, the District Commissioners
and the Budget Bureau. There Is
bound to be confusion and uncer-
AaiYty under such a condition, and
the result is that the children or
Washington are deprived of the
school facilities they ought to have.
Furthermore, that Congress is
not altogether at fault is apparent
from the figures submitted by the
school authorities. When the five
year school program was adopted
they estimated an annual increase Of
pupils in the grades of 500.
Estimate Wrong
"As a matter of fact, that esti-
mate was wrong"
Senator Capper pointed out that
the actual increase in each of the
four years since the program was
adopted has averaged LAB, and that
instead of the 80 classrooms esti-
mated as necessary, ia were needed.
1T is my firm conviction" the
Senator said, that the next thing
to do is to spend within the next
year whatever amount may be
necessary to provide seats in mod
ern, proper school buildings for
every child of school age"
