TENNIS
By WILLARD CROCKER
XVIII. FOOTFAULTS-THE
BUGBEAR OF TENNIS

bUGbEAN UF IENNAS
Footfault during service is
the cancer Of tennis. It has
become so much of a menace
as to have a determined CAM
paign set up for its elimina-
ton. There is no excuse for
anyone making a footfault.
Learn Rules
Learn the footfault rule once
and for all and adapt all your
movements during the delivery
Of service to those boundaries
and there will be no trouble in
store for you.
The rule states that both
feet must be kept behind the
baseline until the bah has been
hit.
If it has been your habit to
stand close to the line and
swing the foot across the line
q fraction too soon, move back
The Washington times., 1931-08-17

one 5 mAm0s
1t is a good policy to keep
the forward foot a measured
distance from the line in all
cases. The second important
item in the rule book is, that
you must keep at least one
foot on the ground through
out service. That means one
thing. You are not allowed
to jump in the air. And again,
you cannot, once the service
has started. change your posi-
ton by walking or running.
These are the fundamental
rules. There are variations Of
them which fit individual cases
and cause much controversy
and trouble.
Examine your service care
fully, and if you find the
slightest shadow of doubt about
your making a footfault-take
steps Immediately to wipe out
that error. If in doubt. go to
some older player and ask If
everything you do is correct.
Primarily footfaulting is tax
ing unfair advantage of your
opponent, and that is against
every principle in the game Of
tennis.

And because he is a philosc-

"A Cartoonist's Philosophy" on
which he has been working two
years, a number of pertinent,
fOrceful observations on Ameri

least Crosby claims they are
truths. and the several book pub.
fishers to whom he has offered
the manuscript claim they are
harsh.
The authors refusal to delete
certain passages, and the pub
fishers refusal to print the book
with these non-Sugar-coated COM

Today, Crosby said he intends

Lee Sentence Stands
The acquittal of Mrs. Jones
does not alter the status of Rich

20 years for the murder of Jones.
Her acquittal was one of the
few fortunate happenings to her
family since the multiple tragedy
at HillSville. seat of Carroll

clan shot up the court.
Clan at Trial
Her brother, Friei Allen, par
doned several years ago, was in
volved in this case. Floyd Allen
