The luck of the “blind” draw has destined that William T. Tilden, 2d, champion, of the Quaker city and William M. Johnston of San Fran- cisco, twice winner, shall meet in the fourth round, providing, of course, they survive the early stages of the competition. -2 That Tall Bill and Little Bill will edge again, and nature has equipped CALIFORNIANS ANNEX NEW YORK, September 7.—Robert Kinsey, San Francisco, won the met- ropolitan - championship in the final of the tennis tournament at the Cres- cent A. C. here. He conquered Wil- s E. Davis, San Francisco, in five sets, 6—2, 4—6, 6—2, 2—6, 6—2. Kingey at all times employed foro- ing tactics. He kept the ball going back to his opponent, who made frequent nets and outs as he stormed the barrier. In the doubles, Robert and Howard Kinsey won the title. They easily defeated Gerald Emerson and Harold Taylor, New York, 6—4, 6—2, 6—4.

BYRD. - HE stability and development of foot ball in the south is not shown in any better way than by the strength of and infrequency of changes in the coaching systems at most of the larger institutions. Uniyersity of North Carolina, North Carolina State College and Of the backfleld men of last 's _varsity there were out Caj rdwer, Plassnig, Semler, Groves and Bosley. Andy Nisbet was the only wgular lineman of 1920 who was on the field, notwithstanding four others are due to return. Brewer and McCeney, second string linemen of a year ago, were out. From last years freshman outfit, Jack McQuade, fullback: Anderson, halfback, and Newland and Stoll, lineman, showed ; up in togs. George Luckey, a mem- ber of the squad in 1919, who was not in school in 1920, came back, but not in time to get in uniform. Very light work was done and while the men wore foot ball trousers and shoes, their other dress consisted of track jerseys and thin white stockings. ~ Practice will be held every day at 2:30 o'clock.

SPEED BOAT REGATTA CLEAN-UP FOR WOOD DETROIT, September 7.—The fast- est speed ever made by s water craft marked the close here yester- day of the 1921 gold chp-Harmsworth trophy regatta, Miss America II of Detroit setting the mark at $0.567 miles an hour in capturing the Lake George trophy for the one-mile speed boat championship of North America. The victory of Miss America II gave Garfleld A. Wood’s hydroplanes a clean sweep in the regatta that be- gan August 27.

Almost Sure to Clash. However. despite these formidable obstacles in their paths, the cham- pion and the player picked as the one most lkely to usurp his crown doubtless will battle on the second or third day of the classic tourney. The next question, of course, is Who is_going to win? The fact that they may meet at such an early stage in the tourna- ment should work in favor of John- ston, who will be stronger physically at that time than he would be if the players were in oppositc haives | and would not meet until the con- cluding match. Weighing only pounds for his five feet eizht an one-half inches of height, Little Bill cannot wade through such a for- casily Johnston has to make an ef- fort to get, and in a series of matches like the national singles, where all are the best three in five, this counts tc_no inconsiderable degree. Johnston, it is generally agreed, is the greatest player for his size in At North Carolina University, Ellll Fetzer, who successfully handled the Nofth Carolina State aggregation last season, is expected to turn out a win- ning team. Fetzer undoubtedly is a good coach, as he had much success elsewhere before he took up his duties at Raleigh and later at Chapel HIill. Australian champions, in an exhibi- tion, 6—3, 6—3, 6—2.

Little Biil, too, has two legs on the famous championship trophy on whih are inscribed the names of Bill Larned, Maurice McLoughlin, Norris Williams_and_Tilden, and the Cali- fornian has been grooming himself carefully to take the measure of Tall Bill and to gain the needed third win to carry the trophy to the FPacific coast. And we believe he will do it. Whether it is Tall Bill or Little Bill who wins in their match, he will have rather smooth sailing afterward to the final in the lower half. Williams, who also has two legs on the trophy; Ichiya Kumagae. R. Lindley Murray and J. O. Anderson. the Australian, are the most formidable players in the upper half, with the first-named favored to come through. However, should Williams .reach the final, it would take one of the days when this rilliant but erratic player 1s at his best to give him a chance to win ver either of the Bills Harry Hartsell, an old North Carolina State man, is back at his alma mater as chief mentor, and is looked upon a very worthy successor to Fetzer. Raleigh people think Hartsel will do almost, if not entirely, as well as Fetzer. Clemson has Stewart, a man who coached fgot ball and basket ball in several schools in the west and middle west. AllL Are Well Satisfied. In short, the three schools mention- ed think the arrangements they have effected in regard to these three men are more or less permanent, 50 con- fident are they that good results will be obtained this fall. The same men will handle the reins in other blg southern schools, al- though there may be some changes in the matter of assistants. Sutton, Cub- bage and Younger again will handle the squad at Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute, Bill Raftery is in charge at Washington and Lee, Pinky Spruhan at Virginia Military Institute and Rice Warren at Virginia.

Guenn T NEW HAVEN, Conn., September 7. More than fifty candidates for the Lyale varsity foot ball team reported to Head Coach T. A. D. Jones yesterday for the opening practice. The first drill of the season proved to be more strenuous than is customary, the men having two hours of active work.

Practice has been started by college squads all over the country, and the first game in which a col- lege team is involved will be played at Orono, Maine, September 17, when the University of Maine eleven meets the soldiers from Fort McKinley. Only a few minor changes have been made in the official intercol- legiate rules. Suggestions were advanced last spring for restrictions on the forward pass, and many other reforms which would have necessi- tated radical changes in the rules were outlined. The rules committee decided, however, that the day for rules tinkering had passed, and the changes they adopted clarify rather than alter the various rules. One of the principal changes pro- vides that in the event of the scoring of a safety the side which has made it shall put the ball in play by scrim- . mage from first down at any place on its 30-yard line. After a touchback the ball still will be put in play on! the 20-yard line. 5 In rule 23, section 5, a subdivi has been made. Division A provides that the offenses of tripping, tackling out of bounds or throwing the player | to the ground after the ball, is dead or any other unnec ary roughnes shall be penalized 15 yards from the spot of the foul.

This installation of as permanent as possible systems in southern uni- versities undoubtedly is largely re- sponsible for the growth of the game in this region. Men, instead of being disposed of if they fail to accomplish wonders in a single season, are being given opportunities to organize their activities and work out their prob- lems to a successful conclusion. Most of the coaches are making good, and, happy to say, all of them are high- caliber men, who possess such per- sonalities that they are influences for good in the institutions they rep- resent.
