VINES NOW HAILED

Experts Hasten to Predict
Return of Net Trophy
Lost in 1927.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n IEW YORK, September IA
N American Davis Cup COM
/ mon, which touched a new
low this Summer when the
American team failed to get as fal
as the challenge round, has re-
bounded sharply as a direct re-
suit Of the spectacular rise to the
top Of the tennis heap Of 19-year.
old Ellsworth Vines.
When Vines conquered George Lott
in a brilliantly fought four-set duel tt
win the national singles title Satur-
day, tennis experts. abandoning all
caution, hailed the Pasadena youngster
as another Tilden and lost no time in
calculating American chances in the
Davis Cup campaign next year. The
net result was the rather general pre-
diction that the cup in all probability.
would return to this side Of the
Atlantic within the next two years.
He Has Everything.
Certainly there are strong grounds
for suspicion that, had Vines been q
member of the 1881 Davis Cup team
and played in the same brilliant form
he has displayed during the last two
months, the American squad would
have beaten England in the interzone
finals and conceivably might have
conquered France in the challenge
round.
Vines. at 49, already plays in a
style that is more than vaguely remi-
niscent Of Big Bill Tilden when the
tall Philadelphia ruled the amateur
heap.
The Pasadena youngster, 6 feet 2l2
inches tall, has full repertoire OF
strokes and the knowledge Of how to
use them. No player in the game hits
a harder ball. and Vines yields to none
in daring and courage when the going
gets toughest.
Material BOuntiful.
Assuming that his game will steadily
improve over the span of the next few
years. the new national champion
should become a formidable factor in
tional trophy lost to France in 1927.
The 1882 cup campaign still is far
distant, but there should be no lack of
material with such figures as Vines,
Frank Shidles, Sidney Wood, Lott, John
Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison probably
available.
Vines victory over Lott in the ma
tional championship finals was earned
on merit alone, for Lott, playing per-
haps the best singles of his career,
made few mistakes. The Philadelphia
won the opening set at 81, but could
not cope with Vines blistering drives.
and the Californian won the next
three, 6-3, 81, IS, and with them
the match and title.

A favorite play of Rockne's was
delayed straight drive through the
line by Joe Savoldi or Marty Brill
from the No. 4 back position. The
left guard and tackle q and 81 dou-
ble-teamed the opposing guard. The
left end co. boxed the opposing
tackle-an important tackle block
by one end that only Knute's wing
men mastered.
As in all Of Rockne's plays, there
was plenty of interference for the
runner. once he got by the line of
scrimmage, as well as plenty of de-
ception. In this one, 3 would break
to the left in order to draw out of
position the opposing right halfback
backing up the line. Right guard 90
would go through the line to take
the deeper defensive back on that
side, while right end go upset the
defensive full. Back % blocked the
charge of the defensive left tackle.
The ball was snapped to 2. who
first stepped to his left to carry out
the end-run fake No. 2 then hand
ed the ball to the No. 4 back, driving
forward and past him as in the dia-
gram.
