Bill Tf1den was l up on the
youthful Ellsworth Vines today
after taking the fifth match Of their
professional tennis series in straight
sets, IS, 13, SIS.
Tilden and Vines stepped onto the
court here last night with honors even,
Tilden victorious in the flrst two
matches and Vines in the third and
fourth.
1t was all the 41-year-old veterans

any danger Of losing, and only in the
slightly prolonged third set did Vines
show signs Of forcing Big Bill. Seem
ingly careless errors by Vines finally
gave that third set to his opponent.
With the game score of the third
set at SIS, Tilden's strength seemed
to fail and Vines went to 40 on his
own service before reverting to a series
of errors that cost him the game. The
young Californian came to life again
and broke Tilden's service, but the old

Polo Ranking Not Approved.
"HIS huntsmans funeral in the

way, gathered today that some of the
polo-playing members Of this club do
not altogether approve Of the grouping
Of Tommy Hitchcock, Elmer Boeseke
and Cecil Smith as 10-goal men in the
polo association ranking.
They feel that Hitchcock should have
been pulled down to nine goals and that
the two Westerners should have shared
this ranking with him.
Hitchcock's game at no time last year,
1t was felt, warranted peak handicap
rating. This was due not so much to
any actual decline in his ability as lack
of opportunity to tune himself up in
high-clasS competition. 1t Is q known

the East-Wes game very lightly, believ-

KEEPS CALIFORNIA
RACING IN CONTROL
Head of Commission, Aiming
to Prevent Cheap Tracks,
Sanctions Only Two.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

Us ANGELES, January H.
Although California has le-
IL galized horse racing, the
State will never be surfeited
with tracks. Carleton Burke of
San Francisco, who is best known
in polo circles, is chairman of the
State Racing Commission and he
has been very slow in giving per-
mits for the construction of
tracks. Burke is out to prevent
the organization of cheap tracks
and does not want so many that
antagoniSm of those opposed to
betting will be aroused.
Permission has been given for the
construction Of one track in the Los
Angeles region, and another has been
approved for San Mateo County, ad-
jacent to San Francisco. Hal Roach,
the famous motion picture director,
heads the group which will finance the
Los Angeles track, and it will be built
near the old Lucky" Baldwin Ranch
in Arcadia. Peter B. Kyne. the novelist,
and his brother William are behind the
new track in San Mateo County.
The Los Angeles track will be al
lowed SO days racing per year, the meet
ings to be held in the Spring and Fall.
Roach plans minimum purses of $500
with numerous stake races. Since no
races will be staged on Sundays or Mon
days the meetings will be Of five weeks
duration.
Tanforan, the San Francisco track
which operated under the certificate
plan several years before the State
legalized racing, has forfeited its Spring
dates and may drop out of the picture.
Aqua Caliente, below the Mexican bor-
der, is having one of its best seasons in
years, under the direction Of Joseph
Schenck, and will retain a definite
place on the Pacific Coast racing sched-
ule.

YALE NEWS WANTS
ROOT REAPPO|NTED
Says Naming Outsider Would
0veremphasize and Profess
SionaIize Foot Ball.
YEW HAVEN, Conn.,, January
| 17.-Holding that it would
\ be unwise now to appoint

nj Unfolding that it would
/ Y be unwise now to appoint
an outside foot ball coach,
the Yale Daily News in an edi-
torial strongly recommends the
reappointment of Reginald Root,
foot ball mentor last year, for the
coming campaign.
The editorial follows In part:
If ever mountain were made out OF
mole hill, the national press has &C
complished that engineering feat in re-
gard to Yale's current coaching trou-
bles. The publicity accorded to what
should normally and rightly be purely
local problem has reached the point OF
absurdity.
1T is easily conceivable that the dol
lar equivalent Of the time passed by
Yale graduates, outsiders and bellhops
discussing Yale foot ball would be suf1-
cient to enable certain among the dis
contented alumni to purchase the bowl
and other incidentals conducive to WIN
nlng teams.
WET we are appreciative Of the fact
that many graduates have the
best interests of the university at
heart. as evidenced by statements ap-
pearing in yesterdays communication
column
ITO those alumni who measure Yale
foot ball in terms of winning teams
we would say that undergraduates to-
day want to see their teams win, but
nevertheless are not afraid to uphold
them in defeat. Many would be willing
to throw aside and forget our foot ball
heritage if it were to appear little more
than a profit andloss statement, with
the past balance preponderantly in the
black.
But If an outsider should now be
appointed to take over the foot ball as
signment, after the hullaballoo raised
by disgruntled alumni, we feel that it
would be first step in actually over
emphasizing and professionalizing the
game at Yale. 1t would be construed
as the necessary corollary to the double
principle of winning games at any price
and of packing the Bowl with cash Gus
toners"

The unwonted celerity with which
the rite was achieved on this oc-
casion may be due to Ruth's new
radio side line, as has been Sug-
gested, or to Mr.. Ruppert's post-re-
peal brewing activities, as may be
suspected
We wouldn't know about that,
but it did strike us as being in
congruous to find on the same sports
sheets which chronicled at length
with pictures-the pen-scratching of
G. Herman, unobtrusive little notices
to the effect Lou Gehrig has ac-
cepted terms.
THE answer to this para
i doxical situation is, of
course, the difference in
the amount of that mysterious
element known as color"
packed by the two athletes,
with the one f1guratively oozing
it at every pore and the other
possessing slightly less than a
modicum.
There is good reason for doubling
that Ruth's creaky underpinning
will permit him to get into as many
as two-thitdS Of his teams games
this year. And there is good rea-
son for believing Gehrig will be on
deck in every one, as he has for
more than eight consecutive seasons,
usually playing through 'em all.
There also is good reason for be-
lieving that Ruth's totals in respect
to runs scored, hits registered, tallies
driven in and other essentials of at
tack, in all of which he was excelled
last season by Gehrig. will dwindle.
while the latter's may climb even
higher than in '33. when, despite
an "off" year, he was topped only
by a fellow named Foxx.
