athlete is a promising athlete,

seven out of ten cases they will
be wrong, the athlete will be

disappointment on all sides. At

alumni it is entirely possible
that they will not have chosen

Another football man actually

sidizing athletes, more particularly
football players, comments:

us suppose they furnish him with
$500 to go to Charlottesville and
to pay his tuition and his room

that just as the prospective star
arrives at Charlottesville he is

Frank Frisch received the report
that baseball critics throughout

Cardinals to win the National
League pennant.
He shook his head in mild pro
test, and then said with a laugh:
"Well, for four years they've

won once, and then carried
through in the series. We fin

CHICAGO, March 25.-By the

Chicago held the Golden Gloves

As matters now stand, Murray
is practically certain to stay at
Charlottesville for five years, the
time it will take for the Virginia
alumni plan of proselyting and
subsidizing athletes to reach full
bloom.
The Virginia alumni plan Of
proSelyting and SubSidizing ath-
leteS, lest you do not know Of it,
contemplates the financing of six
athletes annually on the basis OF
$500 per year per athlete, which
means that Murray will have "a

big test, and the only honest one
which may be given him, thus will
not come until the grid season OF
that year.
Men wise in the ways of high
powered football fear that the Vir-
ginia alumni plan will not lead to
gridiron victories Immediately, as
some Virginia enthusiasts think
it will.
Dangerous Procedure
One football man, who knows
his proselyting and subsidizing
from A to z, has this to say anent
the Virginia alumni plan:
"It's q dangerous procedure
in that it Will be unOrganized
and therefore haphaZard. / Seri-

the prize ring when one of the
principals is being beaten beyond
all decency. .
Before the match, Tilden, whose
adverse remarks had stirred Perry
to the point of active resentment,
told an interviewer that he had
wanted to play the Briton because
maybe he's got something that
I haven't been able to discover
from the sidelines." He knows
one thing Perry has now. He's
at least got a pair of legs.
And that's all he needed last
highland not too many of them,
at that. For Tilden turned up so
obviously spawned that he couldn't
chase the simplest shots across the
base line and, if he did get up
to the ball, he was so desperately
out Of balance that often he ap-
peared to be playing billiards off
the gallery.

Every American and National

OSHAWA, Ontario, April l9.-Spread
Of the General Motors strike to the
United States within a few days was
expected by United Automobile Work
ers Union leaders today as Premier
Mitchell Hepburn warned of more
drastic action" to halt invasion" of
Ontario by the Committee for Indus
trial Organization.
1t was learned from the union high
command that officials expected to
order a walkout from General Motors
plants in the United States unless the
Oshawa strike, which has made 1900
workers idle. is settled.
Leaders Of the Automobile Workers
Union, an affiliate of the John l.,
Lewis Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, were known to have dis
cussed spreading the strike below the
border yesterday after the collapse OF
Hepburn's second major effort to set
tie the walkout with c. I. O. organizers
barred from the negotiations.
Say 2 Agreements Are Broken.
Union officials said they felt Gen.
eraI Motors had broken two agree
ments with them in not settling the
OshaWa strike, which entered it's
twelfth day today. The first was the
FEBRUARY agreement in Detroit that
settled the prolonged Michigan Sit
down.
The second, union leaders said, was
reached last Thursday in Detroit to
cover the Canadian situation. It
