Pick Ribbed Fabrics to
Set STYLES for Spring

Spring seems long way OF TO you,
bur the men and women who tell us
what to wear are already thinking
about the planning for the season OF
buttercnps and dogwood. They've De
cjded that ribbed materials will be the
highest note In the fabric scale.
ote de cheval ribs undoubtedly will
carry off several honors. Colors are
woven into those types which have
colored ribs on white grounds.
Two-tnne ribs are the result OF trick
weaving. These crosswise or ottoman
effects have one ribbed dull satin sur

time. He has to be in shape for our
matches. OF. course, there's about

Vines believes that he will have

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Big Bill Til
den is making his last stand as a
worlds tennis figure, in the opinion
Of Vincent Richards, four time mem
Der of the Davis Cup team, who is
playing a minor role in the Tilden-
Vines tennis tour.
II give Big Bill about one more
year of topnotch tennis" said Rich
ards. He's an athletic marvel but
he's nearing the end of his career"
Tilden and Ellsworth Vines will
make their seventh appearance of
their tour here tonight. Each has
won three matches, but Tilden has
won thirteen out of the twenty-five
sets they have played.
Vines, after observing Tilden
across the net in six matches, be-
lieves Tilden still is one of the
greatest players in the world for
one match, but he doesn't think the
41-year-old Philadelphia can stand
up under the grind of continuous
play.
Give Tilden plenty of rest and
he's probably still the hardest play
er in the world to beat indoors in

Star Guards
Face KautSky

When the University of Mich
igan Stars take the floor at the
Armory tomorrow afternoon to meet
the strong Kautsky A. C.'s, local
fans will see the two guards that
helped Michigan gain the recognition
as the best defensive club in the
Big Ten in 1892, Ivan Williamson
and Al Shaw.
Williamson also was an all-Amer-
lea football player in 80, when he
was captain of the Wolverines. Last
fall he was on the coaching staff
and recently was signed as fresh
man coach at Yale. His home is in
Toledo.
Al Shaw, who played guard for
the Wolverines in 80, 81 and 80 last
season, was voted the most valuable
player in the Detroit Basketball
Federation. The tipoff tomorrow is
for p. M, with a curtain raiser
at 2 D. m. between the local U. S.
Tires and the Decatur R. G. of West
Newton.

Five thousand. fans watched the
Green and White team swing into
the lead in the first half and hold
it throughout the game, despite re-
peated short rallies by the Blue
Devils.
Lineups of both f1ves were re-
vamped by their coaches as the
game started. Johnny Townsend
was switched from center to for
ward for Tech and Hair was as
signed to the jumping berth. Ken

sent Jim Birr, center, to guard
berth, and put Bryant in the mid
floor ring.
Townsend Scores
Tech grabbed the lead in the
first minute of play as Townsend
slipped under the blackboard and
Topped a field goal. A half minute
late Bryant scored for Shortrioge,
and then Townsend added a free
throw on Birr's foul. Hobson
speared a field bucket from out on
the floor and Shortridge led, 4 TO 8,
as the first quarter ended.
Dobbs evened the count in the
second period with a free toss on
Hobsons foul, and sank the second
charity pitch to put Tech back in
the lead. Hair scored from the
side, but Shortridge kept pace as
Bryant looped one from far out.
Woerner took long shot and con-
nected, Stephenson countered with
a short field goal, and Townsend
sneaked under the basket for an
other field goal to put the Green
and White out in front, IL to 8, as
the half ended.
DobbS Sinks Two
Birr tailed from the field early
in the third quarter, but Dobbs sank
two floor buckets in row. and then
picked up a free throw on Bryant's
foul to put Tech out in front Is

phenson added a point on Dobbs'
foul and came back with a field
goal to put the Blue Devils in strik-
ing distance of Tim Canpbells

Tech ahead 16 to 10.
In the final period Tech con-
trolled the ball virtually all the
time, stalling in midfoor. Berns

back in the 80s Radbourne, called
the Old Hoss, used to pitch every
day. He must have had a set of
detachable arms, or maybe he was
just a real good man. My pal,
Billy Sunday, the soapbox preacher,
wants to know where you could
hope to find better battery than
Tim Keefe and Buck Ewing of the
old New Yorks.
Almost as legendary as Jupiter
and Thor in the modern scene and
memory are John Clarkson and
Mike Kelley. who performed Olym-
plan feats in Boston uniforms.
Among the old-timers they stand
out as one of the greatest batteries
OF the period-if not the greatest.

speed and the inspirational spark.
