MALLORY| 10 MEFT DECEMBER 2 Scored by Vice President of French Federation, Who Resigns, and Whose Statements Are Backed Up by Treasurer of U. S. Association. By the Associated Press. Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen, the French tennis player, to the United PAR!S, November 28—Capt. Albert R. De Joannis, who a¢companied States last summer, has tendered his resignation as vice president of the French Tennis Federation an tion. M. De Joannis resigned in protest against the federation's “order of the day,” published in_the newspapers, blaming the directors of the “United States Lawn Tennis Federation for unjustified commentaries upon the sporting spirit of Mlle. Le: ‘The resignation of M. De Joannis 1s the climax of a controversy that has been going on inside the tennis feder- ation since the return to France from the United States of Mlle. Lenglen and her party. M. De Joannis was accused f having urged the French plaver to engage in tennis matches while physically unfit to do so."” M. De Joannis told the Associated Press that thus far he had refrained from commenting on the criticism lev- eled at him owing to his delicate po- sition. and in view of the fact that s woman's name was at stake. Was Ready to Play. “Mlle. Lenglen,” said M. De Joanni; “was perfectly fit when she met M Molla Bjurstedt Mallory at Forest Hills. Mlle. Lenglen was defeated by # player who on that date showed a better brand of tennis. 1 blame her for absolutely refusing to continue. _“Suzanne’s’ attacks agalnst the United States lawn tennis officials and the public are absolutely unwarrant- ed. She was received like a little queen and treated with the utmost courtesy. Her every whim and mod was satisfied. She knows how to win, but she does not know how to lose xracefully. “The attitude of the United States lawn tennis officials and of the Amer- ican public in the face of the repeated defaults of Mlle. Lenglen was very lenient and above all blame. Carpen- tier is a hero in America, despite his defeat, because he showed grit and went down fighting, while Mlle. Lan- glen placed France before the Amer- ican public as preferring to quit than lo face defeat. France never quits.” American Backs Statement. PHILADELPHIA, November 28— Joseph M. Jennings, treasurer of the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, declared that “everything that Capt. De Joannis sald in regard to the actions of Susanne Lenglen, during her visit to America is correct. “And,” he added, . De Joannis did not say half that could be said. “Mlle. Lenglen suffered no physical collapse while here. In her first match against Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, I talked with her myself just before she went on the courts. We were particular to inquire regarding her health. She had been prancing about in high spirits. There was not a trace of a cough. She assured me she never felt better In her life. Says She Simply Quit. “Then, as she saw she facing defeat, the coughing appeared when- ever she lost a point, and, in face of defeat, she just plain quit. In the evening she danced for several hours. ‘The next day she, came to me and apologized. She was not ill and pro: ised to go ahead with the program ar- ranged for her. She quit cold on every engagement. We Kept track of her and found she continuously dis- played great activity and strength ex. cept when called upon to play tennis.” Beckstine . 104 82 110 D 113 109 94 ) Totals Stoner.... 1 8 Otterback. 78 79 88 Som'kamp 99 100 109 Towles... .. 101 99 Totals.. 439 465 495 Garage. e 107 253 8| szzes % 94 McQuinn.. 129 86 Handicap. 16 18 16 Totals.. 482 486 490 Totalx.. 315 487 469 | Registry.

J., November 28.— Princeton basket ball this year will be established on a completely new baais, under plans drawn up by the board of athletic control, For the first time in the history of the sport here the team will be supervised by & committee of former playeis, act- ing under the name of the graduate basket ball committee. This committee is composed of the following: H. H. Salmon, °15. chair- man; J. E. Butterworth. ‘1 . ereux, J. N. Hynson, ‘20 2 McGraw, ‘19, and Dr. J. E. Raycroft, dlrector of physical education. Creation of & definite coaching sys- tem is the main feature worked out by the committee. which, however, has not yet submitted its ideas to the board of athletic control for approval. In previous years the quints have been trained according to the ideas of an individual coach, and as the coach was changed, as often happened, the system changed with him. The com- mittee has decided. therefore, that the besg welfare of the sport lies in es- tablishing a precise and well planned coaching system. In forming this the new coach, J. H. Zahn, has co-operated with the com- mittee, and an agreement has been reached concerning the general lines on which the coaching will be based.

The student body of nearly 2,400 re- turned. on four sections of special trains, and forming by battalions marched from the station to the academy grounds. The main demon- stration did not take place until after |arrival of Capt. Larsen and his team- nfates over two hours later. They were met by the regiment at the Martin street entrance to the gov- ernment inclosure. The players were | literally pulled off the cars and borne on shoulders of their enthusiastic comrades to Bancroft Hall. The demonstrations for Capt. Lar- sen, “Steve” Barchet, Quarterback Conroy, who scored the touchdown and who looms up as next season's captain, and “Benny” Koehler, were | especially prolonge: 3E ann 92 85 117 Totals.. 485 442 481 TYPOTHETAD LEAGUS.

NEW YORK, November 28.—Fresh evidence was avallable today to give color to the suspiclon that Gibson. Leonard and company, that well known firm of shock producers, never do anything on impulse, but have a reason for every move they make. For example, Leonard’s meeting against Georgle Ward, at the Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Georgie is a welterwelght and yet Benny I8 Aghting him on the basis of nothing at all for his services, while Georgle gets $7,600. Why? Simply because Benny is priming himself for another battle with Jack Britton, for the wel- terweight title. He wants to see how it feels to give away weight at his 8! If Benny gets by Ward nicely, and there is no one in the city who has any idea he won't, then the public can stand by for a big title match in New York between Leonard and Brit- ton. —_— CITY SOCCERISTS IN VAN WHEN RAIN HALTS GAME Soccerists of the Washington Club and the British armament conference delegation, contesting on the Monument Lot fleld yesterday, were halted by rain just as their game was becoming most interesting.
