DON'S COACH CONFIDENT

In the mail one day recently was a
letter marked personal" It was sent
from San Francisco. The author, "Spud'
Lewis, is head football coach Of the
played Montana University in Butte
on Nov. 81. A personal letter maybe
should never be made public, but I'm
going to give "Spud's" letter a ride in
this column. Here it is:
Dear Joe:
I'm not going to tell you how to
run your column any more than you
would try to tell me how to run my
team, but make a memorandum to run
a story in your sport Tales" five or
more years from now, how I predicted
not only the result of the Montana
Don game of 1896, but also that I
called the turn on two players, n from
each team.
Peterson Real Star
Il predict that the Dons will beat
the Grizzlies in a close game. I also
make Montana fans forget Popovich
as the best back to show his stuff in
your state this year.
II have had the Montana team
secuted in three games. The reports
show that the Grizzlies are gradually
hitting their stride. And that is true
of the Dons. You saw how we held st.
Mary's. We lost to Santa Clara, which
team is almost as good as Washing
How, I don't know. In succeeding
weeks, we take on a pair of tough
games. Texas A. & M, possibly the
best team in the southwest will be our
opponents on Nov. II. The week follow
ing we play in Butte.
II am willing to spot the Grizzlies
any advantage so far as altitude and
cold weather is concerned. It will be a
new thing for my team to play in the
may be the toughest we will hit, but
the Dons can play football in any kind
of weather, in any altitude.
Real Rival for Popovich
"Candidly. I think Peterson is one
of the best backs in the west coast Sec
ton. He punts exceptionally we'll, can
pass with accuracy and when given
the ball has n objective-to gain
yardage. They tell me Popovich is good,
the best Grizzly back since wild Bill
Kelly. Keep your eye on Ray Peterson
and Popovich. You'll have to give the
decision to Ray, when the game is over.
Along with Peterson, Alec Schwartz, Sal
| Seemo, Joe Gerradin, Guy Swanneck,
Bias Miatovich. Fred Jackson, Johnny
Swanson, Charley Haggerty, Lou Be-
doni, Merry Leroy, Roy Burkhead and
Tiny Cervelli, will show you some foot
ball.
The Dons are looking forward to
the Butte game. My aerial circus will be
working smoothly when we hit the
| Grizzlies. I know it's going to be a hard
! game, but I can see the Dons having
the long end of the score when it is
all over.

son, Gerradin and Cervelli-in fact,
watch the Dons. The team is really
going after the Grizzly contest.

| years O'Donnell played. Like ODonnell,
Bowman elected to go to Denver uni
versity. They both made the varsity
team. In practically all Of ODonnell's
tries for goal, Bowman held the ball for
placement, and should be given credit
for assists.
Romney Needs Him Again
Last season Romney's Brigham
Young team lost a tough game by one
point, IS to IL. A friend lamented that
the game was lost by such a narrow
margin.
i've been nursing goal kickers for
20 years." said OFT, land if I do say
it myself, I developed the worlds great
est in my first years of coaching. Since
then, I've not been able to find a boy
with half the accuracy of ODonnell
I can recall many games that my teams
would have won with some of those
ODonnell kicks. He was one in a mil

Some 35 Members of Hen

club attended the inter-divisional
meeting of Kiwanis clubs held at the
Washington Duke hotel in Durham
last night. A. Copeland Callen, of
Urbana, ILL.,, president of Kiwanis In
ternational, was the chief speaker
Those who went from here said
around 500 Kiwanians, many with
their wives or ladies, were present
from some 20 clubs.
Other outstanding officials of XII
wants nthe State who were present
included Joseph T. Sewer, of Hend-
ersonville, president of the Carolinas
district, who introduced Ralph G. Bar
ker, of Durham, past president, who
in turn presented Mr.. Callen. The
meeting was presided over by G. T.
Council, president of the Durham
club, which was host to the gathering.
Walter Basser, Greensboro Kiwanian,
led in the singing of Kiwanis songs
and himself sang several solos. His
wife accompanied him. A group of
musicians from Duke University pro-
vided orchestra selections.
President Callen's address was
broadcast over the Durham radio sta
ton WDNC. He pleaded for emphas-
is on the value of human personality,
declaring the value of a mans worth
is measured by his service to his
community. He declared that a civic
club could render no more valuable
service to a community than the sal
vaging of the underprivileged chill
dren and others. He called on Kiwan-
ians to consider human and spiritual
values above the material and to
make their lives contribute something
positive to the community in which
they work. He said success, in the
final analysis, is the liberal giving OF
ones self and ones talents to his fell
lowmen rather than monetary accu-
mutations.
It was said today that the local club
will hold a meeting Friday to enable
members of the local club who could

Perry-Vines Test
Likely 10 Draw
By LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Jan. Ellsworth
Vines, the professional tennis
champion of the world, and Fred
Perry, until recently ruler of
equally comprehensive amateur
territory, went into the last stages
of training here today for their
match at Madison Square Garden
Wednesday night, with a record
breaking crowd for pro tennis
assured.
While they trained on separate
courts against an assortment of
Sparring partners, the white.
painted tennis set could scarcely
wait for their meeting, with the re.
suit that interest was more or less
epidemic and the gate approximat-
ing $4,000 for Vines meeting
with big Bill Tilden three years
ago already has been passed.
Authority for the optimistic
financial statement is Francis T..
Hunter, the old Davis cupper, who
has a share in the promotion of
this meeting and others to follow.
He predicts a $4,000 turnout, not
withStanding the fact that Perry
is not expected to do much better
than hold the score close.
