Rice's 5-Year Offer
Lures Coach NeeIy
From Clemson
BY the Associated Press.

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 1l.-Spare
Jess Nicely, a Southern gentleman
who likes to take his time, hustled
about for three days and wound up
with a five-year contract to coach
football at Rice Institute.
Acceptance of the Southwest Con-
ference schools offer climaxed q
month long hunt for someone to
succeed Jimmy Kits. who fell under
the ak after pair Of poor sea-
sons.
Events surrounding the Clemson
coach's part in the case moved too
swiftly, Nicely protested.
While no pact has been signed,
the 42-year-old coach of the Cotton
Bowl winners admitted his accept
ance was based on five-year con-
tract with power to name his chief
assistants.
He refused to divulge the salary,
but it was believed to be $500 q
| year.
Bill Wallace. freshman coach. and
Cecil Grigg, backfield coach, will be
retained on the Rice staff, but Nicely
will be allowed to name his other
aids.
1t was considered a certainty he
would bring Frank Howard, Glenn
son line coach, if that school doesn't
elevate Howard to the head posi-
ton.
Nicely will report February to
prepare for spring practice.

(This is the fourth OF series
dealing ,pith sports celebrities.)
By DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press SportA Writer.


NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-By mar
gin as thin as that of a questionable
ace that barely hicks the narrow
boundary stripe. Donald Bulge, Cali
fornias carrot-thatched comet, gets
our nomination over Britain's mar
velous Fred Perry as the man Of the
decade in tennis.
Regrettably, from standpoint Of
long competitive comparison, the
lanky Bulge scurried into the pro-
fessional ranks just when he had
polished his game to perfection.
He is without doubt the worlds
greatest player today. Only the
records of Perry and Ellsworth Vines
could challenge his over the decade
and Bulge has beaten them often
and soundly in the last year. Most
experts believe he is better now than
Vines or Perry ever were and possibly
even better than Tilden at his best.

Man Of the Decade

No man ever dominated tennis
more than Bulge did in 1887 and
1898, his final years as an amateur.
He won both the United States and
the Wimbledon singles crowns. Don
beat the best the world offered, in
cluding Germany's Gottfried Won
Cramm and Australias John Brom-
wich and Adrian Quist.
He climaxed his last year by be-
coming the first tennist ever to COM
plete the grand slam"-the British.
American, French and Australian
championships.
Bulge brought the Davis Cup back
to this country after its 10-year abb
sence and successfully defended 1t.
The United States lost it again when
Bulge turned pro.
Outside of his grand slam, Budge's
record hardly Is as impressive as
Perry's. The brilliant Briton won
seven of his eight Davis Cup matches
from 1881 through 1885. He won
the Wimbledon championship in
1894, 1885 and 1896 and the Ameri-

can championship in 1888, 1884 and
1896, beating Bulge in the final the
last year.
Perhaps Bulge could have beaten
Tlden and perhaps he couldn't but
it's conceded that Tilden dominated
the 20s more thoroughly than Bulge
did the 30s.
Not only a great shotmaker and
a marvellous competitor and show
man but also a matchless strategist,
Tlden definitely was Mr.. Tennis of
the 20s. He was ranked first in the
United States in each year of the 20s.
He won the United States singles
championship in 1920, 1921, 1922,
1923, 1924, 1924 and 1929. He was
Wimbledon king in 1920, 1921 and
1890.
He played in Davis Cup matches
each of the 10 years and was un-
beaten for six years. He won Is of
20 matches in this international
competition against such aces as
Norman Brookes, Gerald Patterson,
Jean Borotra and Jean La Coste.

By DUNBAR BOsTWICK,

Treasurer. the United States Irotting
Association.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1-OWners
and breeders of harness horses are
looking forward hopefully to the
1910 racing season.
Several spring circuits, such as the
Ohio short ship, the Penn-Jersey
and Tri-State circuit in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Iowa, will be in full
force by the end of May A new
circuit is being formed with head
quarters at Washington, Pa, and
will offer 10 weeks of good racing
in that area. The Kansas and Okla
homa circuit had its best season in
1889 and is looking forward to an
even better one this year.
Grand Circuit Card Grows.
The Grand Circuit should have a
better year than ever, due to the
fact that the Trotting Horse Club
of America is sponsoring 10 new
stakes for second flight and year.
old trotters and PAGERS. 1t also is
starting a series of 10 $4,000 (esti-
mate) races for trotters and PAGERS
on the progressive plan, classified
by the net money won.
Each race will be divided into four
divisions, which means that every
horse at the track will have chance
to start in a race for better than
average purse. Without doubt, the
peak of the season again will be at
Goshen on August Ia, when the
10000 Hambletonian for 3-year- old
| trotters will be renewed 1t promises
to be a very interesting contest this
| time, as there was no standout 2
year-old last season, though Kuno
had the best record of 2:04A.
New Barrier Favored.
A new type of barrier was intro
duced last year by Leo c. Mcnamara
of Indianapolis Since it does away
with the lengthy delay at the post,
it was received with great acclaim
not only by the public, but by the
owners and about 80 per cent of the
trainers.
The new United States Trotting
Association was able to establish
