so much luck with his fighting fish in
the last month or so. Three times they
have appeared before a bloodthirsty

Publicity Is Discounted.

THE time has passed, of course,
when mere big stadium headline
name is enough to carry player in
our league. Performance, not pub
licity, is the basis today.
1t isn't hard to figure why the small
college man often measures up better
In many big colleges, Joe Jones is one
of five left halfbacks in most small
colleges, Joe Smith is one of five
backs
So while Jones spends all his time
mastering one set Of assignments for
one backfield position, Smith, by force
of necessity, actually has to play two
and sometimes three positions in a
season.
I remember one night chat with
a housekeeping halfback. DO any
punting?" 1 asked.
oh, no. he explained, eve have
two good punters now" He didn't
figure it worth his while even to prac-
tice punting!
College coaches have so much to do
that often they can't smooth out minor
defects and "give-aWay" which would
be fatal in pro competition.
A center who was secuted widely by
our league last Fall was crack COL
lege player But when he was going
to pass to the fullback the tilt of his
head indicated it, just as he revealed a
'give-away" on a pass to the wing
back
Even if college coach has time to
din on those things, which he seldom
has. the best cure is the players own
work.
Spring practice is the time to get
away from give-aways. That's my
advice to college and school candidates
Study yourself. Do you glance in the
direction of your objective? Oh
moisten your fingers when you're
going to pass? And, learn to watch
for them in the other fellow.

Jack Bromwich, the new tennis
meteor now sweeping across the

shrewd followers of the game in this
country, who are accustomed to sup
port their opinions with money, are
offering 60-40 that the United States
Davis Cup team will not go to Europe

Bromwich is II years old, showed
brilliancy when he was IS and now
has been added to the team which
will play in the American zone tests
in this country next Spring.
Has Real Chance for Cup.
crawford, Quist, McGrath and
Bromwich comprise an outfit
which it is believed not only will de-
feat the U. S. A. team, but stands
an excellent chance Of taking the
Davis Cup to the Antipodes.
In the recent Australian champion
ships, Bromwich polished off Craw-
ford in five gruelling sets, at the end
OF which the famous veteran COL
lapsed
Next day he encountered Vivian
McGrath In the final and had him
down, 81, 60, before he weakened

other, is sufficient evidence that Brom-
wich Is no flash in the pan: that he is
sound, enduring and thoroughly ac-
complished. Like McGrath, he en-
ployes his left hand almost as well as
his right and in style he also re-
fleets that master Of good form. An
Australian enthusiast of discernment
predicts to the writer that BromWich
will develop into another Tilden.
Only Bulge Sure of Place.
THUS strengthened, it is difficult to
see how a team sufficiently strong
originally will fail to prevail over an
American group of which only one
player. Donald Bulge, is at present
sure of position thereon
OF other prospects, Joe Hunt is re-
garded by the tennis cognoscenti as
the best Of the lot, with Bob Riggs,
Bobby Harmon, Frankie Parker, Gene
Mako and Bitsy Grant standing with
greatest prominence among other
hopefuls.
OF Hunt, the youngest Of them all
and the best natural athlete, much
Is expected this season. Being young
he is only l7-his competitive tenn
perament is yet undeveloped. But
he plays forcing game such as none
of his young rivals have shown; he is
natural volleyer and knows all the
strokes. Another two years may be
required before he comes into his own
Riggs and Harmon, too require time

All Of which paints a future much

Carrying neat little whirlpools, Ann

established one of two new records last

Gus time of 304 seconds in the So

that distance in 302 seconds, and
shortly afterward annexed the 220-
yard, free-style championship.

tered a 4-year-old record in taking
the 300-yard race. Ernie Boggs, Paul
