Frank Shields Has
Withdrawn From The
Match With Wood
Shields Hurt His Leg Badly in Match With Borotra and
Refused to Play Woods in Order Not to Hurt His
Chances of Playing in Davis Cup Team

the Wimbledon title, most desired of
all tennis plums, in order not to en-
danger his value to the United States
Davis Cup team.
Shields, in top shape, would have
been slight favorite to defeat the
l9-year-old Wood, who now sue
ceeds to the throne vacated by Will
nam L. Tilden, End. Wood is the
Youngest player ever to win the
championship
Shields is ranked No. 9 in the u.
S. listngs, while Wood is No. 4.
Shields play IN the tournament
was the best display of tennis skill
Offered by any competitor. His ire
mendous drives and cannon-bal
service made him appear as the log
zeal successor to the mighty Tilden,
who, for decade, kept America S
tennis colors on top.
Woods rise in the tennis world
is without equal.
| Two years ago he was un-ranked
and not until last year did he crash
through to victory in Il major tour
nament. His sensational play last
year when he won four major east
ern championships brought him
squarely into the limelight and
caused such experts as Vincent
Richards and William n. Tilden to
rate him the finest American tennis
prospect in years.
Shields withdrawal followed Il re-
quest by Sam Hardy, non playing
captain of the u. S. Davis Cup team
that the New Yorker forcgo tennis
for q week or SO in order to allow
his leg to mend. Hardy said that
rest was all Shields needed and that
he would be able to resume prac-
tice shortly.

[ANDERS READY
FOR ANGEL

Promoters of boxing at Fort
Washington seem none the least
disturbed over the chilly weather
n prospect for the Sailor Billy
Landers-Frankie De Angelo scrap
which is to headline a 34-round
card tonight.
The general opinion seems to
be that these two midget gladi,
ators will make things plenty hot
for those on hand before their
10-round brawl is concluded.
And just to warm the custom
erS before a boiling point is
reached, they have hired Henry
Irving to meet Joe Finazzo in
the semi-windup which is slated
to go eight rounds.
AS far as Joe and Henry are
concerned, they might just as
well have made it a four-rounder
for both claim it won't go over
that distance.
The Bout Extended
The Landers-De Angelo Squab-
BILE should reach a final conclu-
sion tonight. It has been pur-
posely extended to 10 rounds so
that the boys may satisfy them
selves and the general public.
Preparations have been made
to handle a capacity audience.
When these two met the last
time, the house was a sellout
and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the same mob will be
on hand to see this one.
Tony Barbara and Landers
make no secret of the fact
that BiIly's left hand will be
just as sharp as De Angeles
when the time comes tonight.
1t is claimed Billy made his
mistake by attempting to right
hand frankie to death the last
time and as a result was
thrown completely off his style.
The little Southeast italian is
in the best shape Of his career
for this shot. He is predicting
an easy win over the Norfolk

TULSA IS TASK
FOR {. v.

One of the finest games Of
the season is promised Washing
ton grid fans Friday night in
Griffith Stadium, when nocturnal
football is ushered in with a
contest between Tulsa University
and the George Washington
Colonials of Jim PiXlee.
Both teams are off to a fine
start and the game promises to
be give-and-take affair all the
way. Tulsa will be out to re-
peat its triumph Of 1880 by IA
to Z. while the Colonials will be
striving to revenge that loss and
at the same time establish
themselves in the grid spotlight.
A factor that makes Tulsa
formidable is that they'll be rep
resenting a section of the coun-
try - the Southwest - which is
establishing itself as producing
just about as good football teams
as any in the country. Carrying
this responsibility ought to make
them just thai much tougher.
Besides it's the longest trip they
ever planned, and they don't
want it to end in defeat.
Coach PixIee realizes the
strength and crusading spirit
of his foes. While he comedies
the Oklahoma eleven an edge,
yet he believes that If his team
goes out on the field and plays
an inspired game that he has
a chance of w ag.
A victory o,er Tulsa would
mean plenty to George Washing
ton, too. It would go long way
toward establishing the Buff and
Blue as one of the strongest
teams in this section to say moth
ing of the tonic effect it would
produce among the players to
go out and give Iowa a whale
Of a battle two weeks later.
Back from Boston after their

undone by Coach Pixlee and his
aids.
