MOODY SUCCUMBS
TO CALL OF DOUGH
Former Tennis Queen Will
Tour as Pro-SuitabIe
Stooge Is Sought.
By the Associated Press,

~ eAS fAoooCldCcQ fTeSSs
n YEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Helen Wills
nj Moody, whose longtime reign
v as queen of the worlds tennis
courts covered a period from
1923 to 1885, has agreed to accept a
professional contract and make a
countrywide tour this winter.
Final arrangements, the Associated
Press learned today, hinge only on the
question OF obtaining suitable oppo-
nent for the famous Californian.
The prospects are that Mrs. Moody
will make her professional debut in
Madison Square Garden early in Janu-
airy. and that her playing rival will be
Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, the husky Polish
girl who was runner-up to Anita Lii
zana of Chile for the United States
singles title.

Guarantee Probably $4,000.

MEANTIME the promoters, headed
by Francis T. Hunter. former ma
tional doubles championship partner
of Big Bill Tilden, have decided to
withhold any definite announcements.
Hunter declined today either to deny
or affirm reports that Mrs. Moody al
ready was under contract.
1t is believed Mrs. Moody has been
guaranteed a substantial sum, prob
ably $4,000, in addition to a substan-
tial percentage of gate receipts. Esti-
mates of her potential earnings for a
single professional season range from
S50,000 to 100000.
Her venture will mark the first time
a feminine champion has taken the
pro spotlight since 1925, when Suzanne
Lenglen, the great French player, was
the main attraction of a troupe or
ganized by C. c. Pyle.

HAGERTY HOPEFUL
OF CHANGING LUCK
West Virginia Backers See
Dire Things for Hoyas

BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

stars, Coach Jack Hagerty to-
day pondered the benching of five reg
ulars for the West Virginia game Sat-

Praising the morale of his squad. Of
which he said "the spirit was willing
but the flesh weak" G. US alumnus
coach singled out five veterans, includ-
ing Capt. Red Hardy, as bing in no

In addition to Hardy. the Hoyas'
nominee as al-America center, Hagerty
would relieve Quarterback Tommy
Heating, Halfbacks Mellendick and
Dooly, End Snyder and Guard Shuker.
Tell 'em to forget football for the week
end and report back Monday morning
All, he said, have played too much and
too hard and need short breathing
spell.
BY no means are these the only
Georgetowners disabled, but only the
ones who were expected to start the
game despite their various ailments.
Indeed, an inventory of the Hoyas'
cripple list reveals IL men who might
form creditable first team, but who
still are hobbling about as result of
injuries in recent games.

Pay Tribute to Koch.

TULSA admittedly was overpowered
and outplayed from start to finish
by the Buff line, and Southwestern
critics are content to give great credit
to Koch, their neighbor at Baylor not
so long ago. In the last two seasons
"Botchey's" charges have made every
game bitter battle, particularly
against Southwest elevens.
While Alabama was able to outspeed
the G. w. flankers in the first two
periods of the Tide George Washington
fuss, Kilgrow e. Co. were unable to
penetrate the Colonial line for an inch
from tackle to tackle and Frank
Thomas saw fit to praise Koch's work
in this regard.
With G. w. admittedly better than
average "up front" and Ole Miss rat
ing among the top Southern teams
in the line, the tide of tomorrow nights
fracas easily may swing with the su-
perior line. And Rebel folk are con-
tent in the thought that Kinard will
provide the margin of superiority.

Excellent Pro Prospect.

I IKE Battles, he is tabled q great
professional prospect and it is
believed that several National League
scouts have their eyes on him. Not
only is Coleman star runner but his
punting exhibition here last year was
exceptional. His kicks were averaging
better than so yards and his accuracy
was amazing.
Most Of the Wesleyan team are vet
erans from last years squad which
jolted Duquesne out of championship
aspirations and possible Rose Bowl
bid. George Mike, 212-pound tackle;
Ash Broadwater, senior end and Jack
La Bay, great blocking quarterback are
the key men of the team.
Strangely, West Virginia Wesleyan
