MD. TAG BILL
CONDEMNED
BY R|TCH|E

BALTIMORE, April S.-Governor
Ritchie will veto the bill passed by
the legislature assigning to the
clerks of the circuit courts of the
counties power to issue automobile
licenses and transfer automobile
titles, it was announced last night.
The announcement followed re-
ceipt by the Governor of the recon
mendations of a committee he had
appointed to study the measure. The
committee called it irnpracticable,
principally because no provision was
made in the budget for it, and ad.
vised the Governor to veto it.
VIII Frame Report
Another recommendation Of the
committee, asking that the Governor
appoint a committee to study the
whole question involved in the pro-
posed legislation and frame report
for the next legislature, also will
be followed, the Governor said.
The committee that studied the
bill was headed by Allan McLane.
president of the Automobile Club
of Maryland. Other members were
A. III. Bishop. president of the
Automobile Dealers Association of
Maryland: William C. Walsh,
former judge of the Maryland
Court of Appeals; John w. Stayton,

son, attorney-general.
Walter n. Kirkman, who aided
Governor Ritchie in drawing up
the budget; e. Austin Baughman,
commissioner of motor vehicles,
and d. Marshall Schroeder, deputy
commissioner Of motor vehicles,
participated in the meetings yes
terday.
Counties Handicapped
The bill as originally introduced
in the legislature provided for the
appointment and assignment of a
deputy commissioner in each of the
counties, except Baltimore county,
with the power of issuing and
transferring the licenses and titles.
1t was amended to its present form
by the Senate.
Proponents of the measure main.
tained that counties are severely
handicapped by the fact that they
must deal directly with the office
of the commissioner of motor We.
hicles in Baltimore in obtaining
licenses or transfer titles to their
automobiles.

r-s1l D. c1-4o I;4


NEW YORK, Sept.~16-Having
sung his swan song some months in
advance of his ultimate triumph in
the national tennis championships,
there seems nothing for Bill Tilden
to do but live up to his promise and
retire from competition.
Tilden won the singles title at
Forest Hills, toying shamelessly
with Frank Hunter in the finals,
but Bill is good enough trouper
to know the old act isn't going over
as it used to.
The U. S. L. T. A. even had to
call in couple of professionals to
bolster up the show on Saturday
when TiIden and Hunter, to the &C
compartment of soft music, went
through the farce of competing for
the national singles championship
Winnie Richards and Jan Kozeluh,
summed for so long by the tennis
authorities, took the court in a
doubles match with Dick Williams
and another perfectly spotless anna
teur. AS far as the spectators
could observe, the professionals con-
Quoted themselves blamelessly. They
didn't spit on their rackets for luck
nor did they serve when their op-
ponents were not looking.
TiIden is now 81, and and has won
seven national singles titles. But
as a gate attraction he is getting
passe, and those who do not think
organized tennis is designed with an
eye to the receipts have another
guess coming.
The champion took time by its
forelock some months ago and an
nounced his impending retirement.
THE fact that he sold the announce

I other good backs, in fact, in Bru-
der, he will have one Of the star
backs Of the year.
The Purdue back field will match
any in the Big Ten. However, the
big problem at Lafayette is line
material. Jimmy Phelan lost most
of his last years line with no out
standing line candidates in the
freshman squad. However, any
back field that has such men as
WEIGH, Caraway and Harmeson,
with a freshman coming along by
the name of Yunevitch, is going to
be dangerous. But the lack of line
material will hurt in the long cam
paign. 1t is rumored Phelan may
try Caraway at end.
Indiana's prospects are the same
as last year, possibly better in all
round strength, but the loss of
Bennett will be severely felt. Pages
line from end to end looks unusually
good with the back field more or less
of a gamble. Page will win some
football games this fall and particu-
larly when it is least expected. Iowa,
under Bert Ingwerson, would have
had fine prospects but for the loss
Of McLain at full back and Schlens-
ner, the giant tackle. The latter was
lost by ineligibility recently. Ing
VERSIONS big job will be to develop
tw new tackles and full back. If
Bert can do this, he will have a
pretty fair team, but hardly of
championship caliber in circuit
where the competition is as intense
as the Western Conference.
Buckeyes Need Talent
Ohio State was dealt several hard
blows this summer. First Of all,
some freshman guards and tackles
were f1unked out, and Holman, star
quarter back, was declared ineligible.
Ohio State will be strong at center,
ends and the back field. But no
football team can go very far with
out guards or tackles. The Ohio
State folks will have to wait an
other year before Coach Willaman
will have any real chance to see
what he can do. This fall they will
just have to hope that it won't be
too bad.
Stage at Chicago starts out with
very discouraging prospects. I would
like to see the Old Man trot out
this fall with some real material
so that he could put on the closing
touches to his coaching career with
a finish that would do him justice.
AS far as 1 know, everyone I have
ever talked to would like to see the
same, but I guess it isn't in the
cards. Athletics at Chicago will be
strong off and on, but never again
will she be up among the great as
she used to be.

BY KNUTE X. ROCKNE,
Member All American Football Board


reg. y. s. Patent ONCE
A perusal of the canned publicity
sent out from most of the middle
western universities would seem to
indicate that practically every school
is looking forward to the football
season with unusually bright pros
poets. That is, every school with
one or two exceptions. In these
days Of strenuous schedules, uncer-
taintieS regarding injuries to star
men, and nip and tuck competition,
1t is well night impossible to state
that any team, regardless Of how
promising its outlook, will come
through with an undefeated season.
1t just isn't being done any more.
In the Big Ten it looks like a
three-cornered fight for the cham
pionship between Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, with Northwestern
and Michigan the dark horses. In
diana, Purdue and Iowa will have
good teams and will give a good ac-
count of themselves sixty minutes
every Saturday afternoon, but just
now their prospects do not seem to
indicate championship possibilities.
Ohio State may show unexpected
strength later on, but her prospects
are very ordinary Chicago just has
not the material and that's all there
is to it.
Veterans at Illinois
I pick Illinois, Minnesota and
Wisconsin to be the leaders because
they have the material. Illinois has
a fine veteran squad back and of
last years men will miss only Cap
tain Nowak at tackle and couple
Of ends. If Zuppke can replace his
ends, and he already has one good
one in Jolley, he may again grab
the Big Ten championship, especial
ly as he is not playing either Min
nesota or Wisconsin.
Crane and Weitz at guards and
Gordon at tackle are as fine a trio
Of star linesmen as you will find on
any eleven in America. Zuppke still
has the same fine collection of backs
he had last year with the addition
of Lanum. This chap is an eXcep-
tional punter and paSser. The only
thing that can stop Illinois serious
ly is overconfidence. Wisconsin and
Minnesota have fine groups of
rugged material, with weight, speed
and versatility. Which ever of these
two comes through their annual
game unScathed will challenge I'LL
noiS for the honors.
Weight at Michigan
Michigan had the finest freshman
tea in the middlewest last year and
indications are that this fall they
will be represented by one of the
heaviest lines in the Conference.
Roach, a new freshman tackle, is
said to be a phenom who can we'll
take Pommeraning' place. The only
man lost last year from the back
field was Rich.
If Michigan can get by the Pur-
due game, which comes rather early
in the season, they may prove more
dangerous than can generally be
expected of sophomore material.
Northwestern had some fine heavy
freshman line material with Moore.
a good full back prospect, to replace
Holmer. If Dick Hanley can replace
Holmer. Northwestern will be a real
dark horse, but I suspect that re-
placing Holmer will be a consider
able job. However, Hanley has some

ment to a magazine should not have
made it any less binding.
Tilden, Of course, is still so much
better than Hunter that the finals
at Forest Hills fell as fiat as the
welcome on the club house mat, at
the VIGOROUSLY hospitable West Side
Tennis Club. Bill could have won
in straight sets, but he allowed
Hunter to take two. This failed to
fool any one.
1t may be that Tilden will hang
on until he totters off in defeat at
the hands of one of the youngsters,
who will have lots to learn from the
old master. Certainly, Bill has cried
wolf" on the subject of retirement
so often that his announcements re-
ceive scant attention.
