JACOBS NET HOPE
Helen Is HaIf-Cripp|ed as
She Launches Avenging
Quest at Wimbledon.
BY SCOTTY RESTON,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

WIMBLEDON. England, June 2l-
Hidden on obscure courts among the
unseeded players. Helen Jacobs today
started the saddest Wimbledon tour
nament of her tennis career.
Five times in the last eight years
she has reached the final on the his
toric center court. Three times Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody beat her; one
Dorothy Round beat her. and once lin
1886 she was successful.
This year Of all years she wanted to
be at her best. Instead, she started
with a half-crippled arm.
Eager to Avenge '35 Defeat.
In Helen's l6 years of tournament
tennis one match stands out-the final
here against Mrs. Moody three years
ago. Twice before Mrs. Moody had
beaten her in the last round. but this
time the other Helen led, So and
3o-15 in the final set.
On the next point Mrs. Moody hit
a drop shot which Miss Jacobs rushed
in and returned. But the umpire
ruled it had bounced twice and the
score stood 800.
Even now they are talking out here
about that point and how it led
eventually to the greatest rally in
Mrs. Moody's career and one of her
greatest triumphs.
Regardless of any other reasons
Miss Jacobs might have for wanting
to beat Mrs. Moody. she naturally
wanted to avenge that defeat. Mrs.
Moody did not return the next year,
when Miss Jacobs won. nor did she
come last year. But now she is back.
Miss Jacobs is not fit for plav and
not even lucky enough to be drawn
in the same bracket.
Brides In Trophy Fight.
The injured nerve in Miss Jacobs,
right arm is not SO painful now, but
sne has played virtually no COM
petltlve tennis for months and she
will have to go easy the first round
or two. She was drawn against
Mary Whitmarsh for the first round
this afternoon.
Miss Jacobs is not the only player
who wants to win for personal rea-
sons Both Anita Llama, the Chi
lean girl. and Jadwiga Jedrzejowska
OF Poland would like the trophy for
wedding present. Dorothy Nav
Bundy would like to take it back
and show it to her mother, May SUIT
ton Bundy. who won it in 1905.

Boat Wrecking, Keel anchors
Once We're a Part of Strategy
In Harvard Yale Cre1u Racine

In 1874, Harvard Steered into the
Yale shell and cut &way the rudder,
thus eliminating any chances of
Yale's winning.
In 1882 Yale experimental with
67-foot boat. with the oarsmen
grouped in pairs In 1888 Yale erected
big wind sail on the bow, but Har-
ward won by 20 lengths.
Tried to Scare One Another.
For while. around the turn of the
century, the rival teams had camps in
full view of each other at New Lon
don. Thus Yale rowed past the Har-
ward crew, and vice versa. The idea
was to impress the opposition so thor
oughly it would be frightened to death.
The history Of the Harvard-Yale
race is full of interesting details, aside
from the strategy used by the crews.
The first race was suggested not by
Yale or Harvard, but by an enterpris-
ing railroad manager. who wanted ex-
cursion train business and advertising
=. First Harvard uniforms featured
blue, Yale wore crimson! Both
original crews were made up, entirely
of members of the class of 1853, ex-
cept for Charles A. White of Yale.
White furnished Yale its boat.
The regular varsity eight-oared
races at miles tthe series that is
continued today began in 1876, and
have been held at New London, Conn.
ever since 1873.
There were 81 races from 19O0-37
inclusive. Yale won 2l, Harvard l6.
The last Yale victory was in 1895.
Can't Match This Boat
Lastly, although the Harvard-Yale
races are always spectacular, there is
record for sheer rowing color they
never will equal. The exhibition they
never will duplicate was staged in so
B. c. by Cleopatra.
Cleo's oarsmen were not SO prof.
cient as those of today, but they had
a barge adorned with gold. sails of
purple. 20 oars set with silver. and
they kept time to the music of flutes
and Tyres.

the Middies have the power and the

There were some strange
sights out at Columbia Country
Club last Friday and Saturday
sights of the local stars unmis-
takably holding back.
Barney Welsh played with as much
concern as if he were playing an un-
seeded entrant in the first round of
District tournament. Hugh Lynch
would burn over placement and
then, on the next point 1--WE wouldn't
swear it was Intentionally, net a return
and then turn around and grin. Up
and down the range of Columbia's
courts, Washington players probably
were doing the same thing, in order
that the result wouldn't look too bad.
If they hadn't, it's not hard to believe
that they could have won every match
in straight love sets.
Time Takes Toll of Visitors.
Again, if they hadn't held back, the
visitors might have grown so dis
couraged that they wouldn't send
teams to future Hotchkiss Cup matches
until Washington's present generation
of top-notchers had grown too old to
play any more.
Which brings up a rather ex-
planatory reason for the futility
of the recent vain quests Of the
Richmond, Norfolk and Balti-
more teams.
Most Of their players are "old men, !"

but they didn't look it. There's diff
ference. A tennis players only as old

If Baltimore hadn't ruled the
