Women 'sTennis
Deemed Below
Old Standard
Elizabeth Ryon Says
Powerhouse Hitters
Forget Strategy
BY STANMORE CAWTHON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. 28.-
Today's top-ranking woman tennis
players, says veteran professional
Elizabeth Ryan, fail to approach
the greatness Of such stars as
Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills
Moody because they don't use their
heads.
They're fine girls, of course"
said the attractive redhead, who
won 10 Wimbledon championships
before turning pro in 1885, but for
the most part they have no idea
of what the phrase tennis strategy
means. They just powerhouse the
ball over, and, except for Sarah
Cooke, they seldom seem to have
any particular plan.
Thinks War Will Help Sports.
Pauline BetZ, for instance. hits
the ball well enough. but she lacks
Lenglen's ability to judge her oppo-
nent's weaknesses and play to
them"
Miss Ryan, resident professional
at the Miami Biltmore Hotel here,
believes the war will put more
women into sports and she is hope
full that if enough young women
take up the game new stars of the
Moody-Lenglen caliber will develop.
II think more women will play
tennis and golf to become strong
enough to handle the tasks the war
has put on them" she explained
She's seen the masculine and
feminine internationalists come and
go for more than two decades, and
she doesn't mind telling you that
she considers the present American
first 10 much below the standard
Of previous years.
Says Netmen Have Slipped.
"It's the lack of international
competition that's done it," she said.
Since Bobby Riggs turned profess
sional there isn't a player in the
country who could give Tilden or
Vines or Bulge a run for their
money when those players were on
top.
IF you put our top three anna
teurs today against one Of Austria
las last Davis Cup teams. with men
like Jack Bromwich, Adrian Quist
and Jack Crawford, our boys simply
would be eaten alive"
