VOLS NEW COACH PERCHES HIMSELF
 ON SHOOT TOWER

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 30.- Tennessee's new football coach, Bill Britton, has always favored an ele- vated post from which to observe the game,
 When Maj. Bob Neyland, his predecessor, was sitting on the bench with the Tennessee squad during home games, Britton retired to the press box where he watched enemy plays and telephoned them to Neyland. ae
 Now. as head coach, Britton has erected a nine-foot tower on the playing field from which he watches practices and scrimmages.
 The movable perch says, Brit ton, will be a fife spot to observe scrimmages and pick out the false moves of backs and linemen as they are drilled"

the end of the first set is shown by the
statistics which reveal string OF 10
consecutive games which were won by
Welsh and McElvenny. After break
ing the 9-9 tie in the first set, the
repeating champs romped through six
straight games in the second and the
first two games of the third before the
losers broke McElvenny's service. At
this juncture, they aroused the hopes
of their supporters by alternately TAX
ing and dropping games, gaining q
lead Of 80, but from then on they
never were ON better than even terms.
After Markey tied the count at 6-6
on his service, Welsh gave his side a
rs advantage and when Dooly's last
public parks service fizzled the match
was over.

Crowd Pulls for Mitchell.

THE second set went with service for
the first six games, the new champ
breaking service for the first time in
the seventh game for 4-3 advantage.
She passed Bobsey with burning
placement two games later for the
match point.
Mitchell and Markey were blasted
almost off their feet by bomblike shots
which exploded at the toes of their
white sneakers and were on the de-
fensive all afternoon.
Judging from the reactions of the
200 in the stands and the countless
others looking over and beneath the
canvas that hid the court from public
view, the sympathies of the crowd
were with Mitchell. Probably realizing
that the perennial favorite was play
ing his last match in public parks
competition, the most applause rang
out when the conclusion Of point
favored Mitchell or his partner,
Markey.
And on one occasion, Dooly showed
strikingly why he has held the af1ec-
ton Of local fans as the perfect gen
tleman of the courts" when he forced
Umpire Hugh Lynch to over-rule a
decision of hnesman which favored
his team but which Mitchell insisted
should have been called in favor OF
Welsh and McElvenny. The point in
question was replayed and won by
McElvenny.

He consistently runs sos and 9:o6 ir

Firms Rule In Javelin.

TN THE hammer. there is Henry
l. Dreyer Of Rhode Island. Coached
bv the eminent Fred Tootel, 1878
OLYMPIC winner, he did 1915 this year.
No foreigner who figures to beat him
Is in sight.
The q. S. A. will be lucky to land
third in the javelin, in which the
Firms still excel. And that German
COD, Schroeder, is doing 174.2 2s-lo
with the discus. Anderson of Sweden
is about as good. We are way behind
with the platter.
Metcalf of Australia is doing 81
in the high Jump, and Paraesaalo. the
Finn is doing Sc. George Spitz and
Cornelius johnson will have hard
competition from these boys-unlcss
Johnson's hairline failure to do $40
last Spring means that the colored
boy has taken new wings. Walter
Marty, world record holder in this
event, 6.9H, may recover from an
operation in such form as to retain
his prestige next year.
No need to worry about the broad
Jump; but the pole vault, which also
seems secure, may be complicated by
the exploits of Nashadi, the Japanese.
On the other hand, that Dixie boy,
wilkins, who has been hop, step and
jumping so feet, may give the jap
anese some concern.
