Grass Courts at Seabright
Declared Finest I'm America

things that ne has seen, cause the
emerald of this fawless turf to glow
with a serene tone of time.
Traditionally, Seabright tennis has
marked the time when leading players
of the country go from clay court to
turf, when tennis begins to be grim
and serious thing. when play begins
to be significant in terms Of national
ranking.
~ EFORE the days when outstand-
Is ing players were corraled by the
Davis Cup Committee early IN
the season and set about the business
of preparing for international play,
Seabright was second to none IN the
high character Of its entries.
Seahright and the RumSon country
come as near being a sportsman's
paradise as you could ind. Every
thing is done there that is done any
where with horse and dog and gun,
and the various forms of ball, from
that covered with horsehide to felt
and gutta percha, are all in expert
use throughout Spring, Summer and
Autumn.
And, in Winter, Seabright, which is
mainly a sandy peninsula, with the
ocean In front and the Shrewsbury
River in the back, spends its days
bravely trying to save itself from the
devouring Atlantic.

ELL EATON Of Oklahoma City
L. celebrated his 21st birthday an
niyersary by winning the West
ern amateur. And bear in mind that
the Western district covers almost
three quarters of the United States
and ranks just q notch below the
national amateur.
Leland Hamman of Waco, Tex,
%, won the Transmississippi. beat
ing none other than the former open
champion, Johnny Goodman, IN the
final.
Lawson Little, the Californian, who
holds the British amateur, was elm
mated in the early rounds in this
fast Dallas competition. Walker Cup
players, as well as finalists in the
national amateurs of other years,
were among contenders who fell be-
fore these youthful shotmakers.
The strange part is that none Of
these new kid champions has any
reputation behind him. They're
all newcomers. lending the belief that
the national amateur this year will
really be a wide-open affair, with
few favorites and with the possibilities
for surprising upsets from the start

Wood 2 lin nj Ninth.


vXyOoD was 2 up at the ninth and
F" / up when they had completed
the hrst 19. They were all
even by the twenty-Seventh, but the
New Jersey pro went ahead at the
twenty-ninth with an eagle 3. Run
yam squared the match three holes
later with q birdie and then started
into the home stretch up by win
ming the thirty-third.
Every good golf match has its thrills
and this one was packed with excite
ment from the thirty-fourth on. They
halved that hole as Runyan's accurate
chip from the edge Of the green left
him tiny putt which Wood conceded
But the slim margin which Runyan,
the leading tournament winner of the
recent campaign, lad fought so hard
to establish vanished when Wood hit
one Of the gem shots OF the tourney
at the thirty-fifth.
Flashing in the sunlight, his niblick
sent the ball in high arc and 1t
stopped exactly IA inches from the cup
amid thunderous applause. Runyanis
second was on the green, some 80 feet
to the right, below the hole. but after
Runyan missed his try, Wood squared
the match by holtng the birdie 8.
Almost Settles Issue.
At the home green, the thirty-sixth,
Runyan almost settled the issue. His
spoon shot trickled over the green into
the grass and Wood hooked his iron
close to tree near the scoreboard
Wood Clipped beautifully from the
bad spot II feet beyond the pin. Run
yam pitched from the grass, as the
crowd waited in anticipation, but the
bali stopped l2 feet to the left of the
pin.
George Jacobus. president of the
p. @. A., with considerable care
determined that Runyan's ball was
away. Runyan putted and the ball
swerved, but on it went into the cup.
But Wood was undaunted and he sank
his difflcult putt for a half, to keep
in the fight for the crown.
Then it was that Wood, one of
the games prodigious drivers, made
o bold bid to capture the first extra
hole with an eagle. He was on the
green at this par S, 4SS-yard hole,
with drive and mashie, feet from
the pin. Runyan was short in two
but Clipped within a yard OF the cup.
But Wood failed to hole the putt and
they halved with birdie As.
Bah Goes Into Crowd.
At the thirty-eighth Wood hooked
his drive under a willow tree and.
using a spoon on his second, sent
the ball into the crowd so feet to
the left Of the green. Runyan. driving
to the left side of the fairway. pushed
q brsssie shot 40 yards short of the
green. He had to pitch over a bunker
to reach the putting surface ON his
third, but he played q good shot and
the ball stopped feet below the pin.
Wood chipped IL feet short of the
cup and putted almost to the lip of
the cup on his fourth. Surveying the
green, Runysn then took his alumni
num-headed putter and struck the
ball crisply to- send ii into the hole
for the that won the championship.

short Pass Bafied Big Ten.

Short Pass Baftied Big Ten.
T%EACHING his short pass system,
which includes roll Of the hips
and a pivot, and which basket
ball fans in the Middle West had
never seen before, he won IL straight
Big Ten games his first year, In 1912,
and an undisputed championship.
The rest of the conference was COM
pletely baffied by his teams play.
They couldn't meet 1t. But that was
only a start. He won an undisputed
championship again in 1913 with the
loss of only one game, and third
championship, with another unde-
feated team, in 1914.
That gave him 35 league wins out
Of 36 games in his first three years In
the conference and with five straight
victories to open the season Of 1915
ran his string to 40 out Of Al for a
record probably never equalled IN
basket ball since, certainly not In a
conference that places the emphasis
ON basket ball that the Big Ten does.
Again in 1916 he won the Big Ten
championship. At the height Of his
success as q coach, however, he left
Wisconsin to become director OF ath-
letics at the University Of Missouri
In two years, not counting one which
he spent as q captain In the Medical
Corps during the war, he gave Mis-
souri, seven Of the eight major MIS-
souri, Valley championships-foot ball
basket ball, base ball and track. He
himself coached only basket ball,
winning both years, but he had a
hand in the others, for he re-organ-
lied the entire athletic department.
In 1921 he returned to Wisconsin
as basket ball coach, and again start
ed of on a spree of championships
He won in 1921, finished second in
1922, and won again in 1928 and 1924.
Gets What He Wants.
DY THIS time the defense in basket
h ball had started to catch up
with him, and he went five years
without winning another title. In his
worst years, however, he always had
teams you wouldn't care to be against.
He was that kind Of coach, even with
out stellar material. He has more
upSets to his credit than any coach In
the Big Ten. He won his last cham
pionship in 1929.
Intensely wrapped up In basket ball,
Meanwell has frequently been the
storm center of internal trouble at
Wisconsin. For years he refused to
allow his basket ball players to go out
for foot ball, with not little criti-
cism from the foot ball coaches and
alumni. He stuck to his guns, how
ever, and always defended his stand,
When the time came to build a
field house, he again exerted his
strong personality with the result
that the $4Oo, 200 building Wisconsin
now has is primarily a basket ball
arena. Again there was criticism.
But Meanwell got what he wanted.
II you may measure his success by
what he did as director at Missouri,
his should be highly successful ad-
ministration at Wisconsin.
