Third Rebuff
Given Famed
Tennis Player
By Bill Wolf
Copyright, 1852, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

THE FAILURE OF the Eastern
Lawn Tennis Association to rank
Jewish star Dick Savitt was the
third major blow the New Jersey
player received this season. 1t
came on the heels of his being
omitted from the Davis Cup match
es against Australia and his being
ranked number three in the U. S.
Lawn Tennis Associations national
listings. The reason the Eastern
Association gave for omitting Saw
lit was insufficient E. L. T. A.
data"
Sidney Schwartz of Brooklyn
was ranked number three in the
mems singles division by the E. L.
T. A. Schwartz was teamed up
with w. Donald Mcneil. !. Irwin
Dorfman was given third place with
Jack Tuero in the mems doubles.
Sidney Adlestein captured the
number three spot in the veterans
singles and shared the number one
position in the veterans doubles.
The criticism of the failure to
play Savitt in the Davis Cup match
es has brought efforts of defense
from those responsible for the de-
cision. Frank Shields, captain of
the U. S. Davis Cup squad, claims
that he didn't play Savitt because
it was strategically smarter to use
Schroeder and Seixas. Stanley
Woodward, veteran sports writer,
reported in his column in the N. Y.
Daily Compass:
"Shields' defense of his action in
by-passing Savitt, Wimbledon and
Australian champion, in favor of
Ted Schroeder and Vic Seixas in
the Cup singles, was deft. The on
ly way to beat Sedgeman, Shields
stated, was by playing four-court
game and volleying against him
Schroeder and Seixas were better
at this kind of game than Savitt. "
Nevertheless, the fact remained
that Savitt had beaten Australian
star Frank Sedgeman in 1851 to
take the Australian crown.

Especially interesting was the
game between Crow Agency and

Spring Training

II won't be long before the football fields
throughout the nation will be resoundng with the
frunts and groans of thousands Of young men, beat
ing themselves into shape for the coming autumns

These young freely commit themselves TO
an exacting regimen. They change their manner Of
living considerably They will do themselves bodily
violence They'll ache and pain. They will lose
weight
If some OF them have been smoking, they will
stop that They will keep regular hours They will
regulate their diet
All Of this is done with reason They and their
coach know how vtally necessary this exacting
training Is They know that il it not for this
training and conditioning boy could not last
quarter let alone play whole game. They realize
that without this period of training the risk of injury
would be probability and not merely possibility
These young men submit themselves freely TO
this gruelling regimen. No one forces them TO play
football No is shocked decries the spring
practice. You bet your bottom dollar though
that many would be shocked into decrying such
training if IFS name was changed 10 Spring pen

There are many persons today who obey the laws
OF the Church and do penance And the penance
they do is in no way drastic and difficult as that
done by the footballers. The young hopefuls at

am sorry that the features of the
communists of today are not
what they used to be before the

ed due to many foreign concep-

our party"
While this could be taken as
an indication that Tito has not
yet been able TO crush religion
in Yugoslavia, despite all his re-
pressive measures, it also furnish
ed him with an opportunity to
announce harsher measures for
those who disagree with him.
He seized the opportunity in
the next sentence. He said, "A
communist today is no longer
considered fighter and an ex-
ample to others. Consequently,
we have resolutely decided to
return to the old practices"
Other party functionaries have
interpreted his return to old
practices" as an Iron fist" pol

Lord returned TO Capharnaum, and then went to
Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. After the
festivities on this occasion He gave proofs of His
divinity to the Jews, who then tried to stone Him.
The Gospel of Passion Sundays Mass tells of this
incident, ending with the statement that Jesus hid
Himself, and went out of the temple"
We know that this is time to join with Christ
in His sufferingS and DEATH endeavoring to die to
sin that we might in consequence rise with Him
to newness of life. There is plenty of evidence to
conclude that the whole human family is at present
going through "passionde" the result of separ-

sefishness. If a sufficient number of individuals of
that great family die to sin that they might live in
Christ, then the world can expect to come through

Job Well Done

1t would be difficult to overestimate the value of
the National Catholic Family Life Conference whose
Goth Annual Convention held in Columbus this
week. The successful meeting is over, but its far
reaching influence for good will just begin to be
felt throughout the nation.
The delegates and participants have returned TO
their homes taking the results of the convention
to every corner of the country. They returned in
spred and with the straning impulse to put into
action what they had learned at the convention. They
left Columbus full of that contagious enthusiasm
which only be the result of such conference

the present healthy interest in the most important

1t will be some time before all the reports and

A. Above all the saints we
turn to Mary, the Mother of God,
whom we know to be a true
mother to all of us as Christ
wished her to be John 1925,
but we know her power is from
God. God alone is omnipresent,
but the saints, and especially
Mary with her privileged posi-.

seeing God she sees in Him as in
a mirror all that happens upon
