Foot Ball Is Beéoming Nationalized : Australians T hrea‘te'h in Title Doubles SEMI-FINALS ARE REACHED MIGRATION OF GRIDIRON MENTORS IS RESPONSIBLE Many Who Learned Game and Got First Tutoring Expeneme in East Now Handling Squads in All Parts of West. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. N thing particularly noteworthy. cance in But EW YORK, August 21.—Not in the mere fact of Gil Dobie going East from teaching foot ball at Illinois and Dr. Wilce going West from his sporting lectures at Columbia University is there any- there is much interest and signifi- the nationalization of foot ball methods which the sectional migrations of these and other distinguished teachers are surely bringing about. Just now Glenn Warner is about to set plans on foot for bringing about a resurgent foot ball prestige at Leland Stanford. Warner has made his way West via Cornell, arlisle and Pittsburgh. Andy Smith of California is a product of Penn State and Pennsylvania. Since the Middle West has been responsible for many of the more recent offensive trends in foot ball, it might be interesting to inquire the source of these shrewd tactical minds. At the present time in the Western conference there are four head coaches from the East. . The other six are all products of the Middle West, although only three of them are big ten graduates. Stagg of Chicago is a Yale grad- wvate. Yost of Michigan is an alumnus of West Virginia and Lafayette. Zupke at Tllinois is a Wisconsin graduate, and so is Dr. Wilce of Ohio State. Ingwersen of Illinois, who succeeds Jones at Iowa, is an Illinois product. Jess Spaulding of Minne- sota, owns Wabash as.his alma mater and Thistlethwaite of Northwestern holds an Earlham diploma. Phelan of Purdue is a Notre Dame graduate, Ryan, Wisconsin's coach, comes from Dartmouth, and Ingram, the Indiana mentor, played for the Navy. From Varfous Sections. Notre Dame has one of her own distinguished sons as coach, Knute Rockne. Nebraska works under the instruction of Dawson, of ‘Lgrlmwlon Henry, the Missouri coach®¥s from Southwestern; Clark, of Kansas, is trom 1llinois; Bachman, of Kansas Aggies, is a Notre Dame man: Willa- man, at Towa State, is from Ohio State: Pedden, of Ohio University, is an Illinois man: Maulbetsch, of Okla- homa, played foot ball for Michigan. Butler has Pat Page, a Chicago graduate; Cincinnati has McLaren of Pitt and Marquette, and Murray 'of Tufts. Hanley, the Haskell Indian coach, is from Washington State. In the East, among the more im- portant institutions, the tendency al- ways is to secure alumni as coaches wherever possible. Harvard, Prince- ton and Yale have never had other than alumni head coaches, although both Harvard and Princeton have used Maj. Graves of the Army in an advisory way. Cornell, in fact, is about the only prominent foot ball playing institu- tion in the East that does not have an alumnus as head coach. To which may be attributed the fact that in recent years the spirit of progress has laid in other sections. In the South Georgia Tech stands as the leading exemplar of alumni coaching.

Tilden. national tennis champion, will meet Manuel Alonso of Spain in his opening match in defense of his title at the national singles 2d. of Philadelphia, championship on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills next week. “The luck of the draw brought Tilden against the only man who has defeated him at singles this year, Alonso turning the trick at Indianapolis carly in the Summer.

HE most remarkable finish T ever saw upon a golf course came in an exhibition match at Lake Mahopac years ago. It was a four- I have forgotten two of the contestants, but the other was Jerry Travers, four times national amateur champion, and once holder of the open title. Jerry and I were playing each other. It was a bitterly fought contest all the way, but, unfortunately, my partner and I were trailing when we came up to the last hole. It was only by stubborn effort that we won it and squared the match. This gave us the honor, and when we went to the fir:t tee I led off. The first hole at Mahopac at that time was a short hole of 140 yards, calling for a mashie shot. The green was a half blind one. A great yell went up from the gal- lery when I laid my tee shot two feet from the cup for what looked like a sure birdie 2. A birdie ought to be able to end the match right then and there. That was the prospect until Jerry played. But Jerry stunned every- body—for a brief moment before they broke into a s; of applause—by making a hole. one. Years ago in a national amateur tournament Robert: A. Gardner of Chicago beat Tom Sherman early in one round by holing his tee shot after Sherman had laid his ball for a certain 2; but I don't believe I ever heard of a match being brought to an end in such a way except on the occasion I have described.
