In some ways we have lost by this change, and in other ways we have gained. This series of articles is not in any sense a ‘“confession.” My vears of inside information e convinced me that, on the whole, college foot ball in America is surprisingly clean. 1 can recall some pretty shady bus iness back in the old days, but I know that virtually all of this raw professionalism has now been done away with. 1 am not in sympathy with the agitators who are attacking the game «and starting an outery against it. But—and on_this qualification whole story hangs—the last vears have transformed hoth the in- side and outside of foot ball, and it is my firm belief that the real friends of the game ought to answer the agitators by putting all the facts in the open and taking their stand on them. Grid Muckrakers Warm Up. The argument between the foot ball standpatters and the muckrakers has been warming up considerably the last vear or two. The trouble with both of them is that they are looking too closely at foot ball as something apart from the forces, conditions and tendencles which are increasingly affecting it. Some of the alarmists apparently are agitated about foot ball merely hecause the game involves big e penditures and commitments for stadia and equipment, with the re sult that there always is a desperate drive for & winning team. I quote Dean S. W. Beyer of Towa State College in his report to the Na tlonal Collegiate Athletic Association: “Competition in stadium building generally results in athletic governing bodies incurring large indebtedness. This indebtedness can be removed only by subscriptions and increased zate receipts. Both subscriptions and gate receipts depend on winning teams. The emphasis is, therefore, on the win. In the minds of many in coun tion the entirely uates easygoing athletics of almost my people abllity to win depends on the | number of star high school athletes who can be secured.

WOMEN’S NET FINAL IS° INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK, August ranking English player and the American titleholder will meet in the final round of the women's na- tional tennis champlonship this after- noon at Forest Hills. For the sixth time in three seasons, Kathleen Mc- Kane and Helen Wills will face each other in championship play. Three times they have met in the Wightman Cup matches with the Berkeley girl the winner twice; Miss McKane de- feated the other in the final at Wim- bledon last year, and this afternon they will face each other for the second time in the national champion- ship. Miss Wills won the match in 1923, the vear she captured the title for the first time. . Having scored two legs on the championship cup, Miss Wills will at tempt to win the trophy outri afternoon. She faces a fa® stiffer test than she did in 1923 in taking the crown from Mrs. Mallory or lust vear in defending it. If the English kirl plays the tennis this afternoon that she did in overcoming Miss Ryan and Mrs. Mallory, the champion will need to be at the peak of form to defeat her. 24.—The Miss McKane has almost as many backers. The manner in which she fought her way to victory over Miss Ryan and Mrs. Mallory after dropping the first set to each has shown that the invader is a fighter to the last ditch and most to be feared when she is_trailing. Miss Wills, too, has shéwn the same ability to rise to the greatest heights and stem the tide when near defeat. Both Joan Fry of England and Elea- nor Goss took the first set from her in | her Jast two matches and in each in- stance she played them to & stand- still in the two following sets. Miss Wills chances of victory today depend much upon her ability to break up the net attack of Miss Me- Kane. With each succeeding match the English girl has developed her net play to a stage of greater effective- ness and it was her volleying that brought about the defeat of Mrs. Mal- lory after the' New York woman had constantly brought her rushes - to naught with marvelous passing shots. Miss Wills has not shown the in- clination to seek the net this year that she did last season and seems to have lost some of her con- fidence overhead, but her work in the doubles match on Saturday showed that she is capable of brilliant work within the service court. In the mat ter of service the Berkeley girl has an advantage over her opponent. She has much more pace on the ball, places it better and is not as inclined to_double fault as Is Miss McKane. Miss Wills after meeting with Miss McKane, will then go on the courts again with Mary K. Browne against Elizabeth Ryan and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy in the final of the doubles. |WOMAN NET STARS | MARSTON UNLUCKY LABELED “SNOBBISH” | BY LAWRENCE PERRY. | W YORK. August 24 —Woman | tennis stars are the most snobbish | crowd of women in the world. So| at least avers a woman who used to | beat most ofgthem when they were in | their early stages of development, and then retired from play for several vears. She returned to tourney play this vear, and while she did not get any father than she expected, she plays very good tennis and is satisfled that next season she will go higher in the national tournament than she did this year. “Coming back to the game.,” she said, “I noticed many things that did | | not “obtain when I was in the full| swing of things. There used to be a | kindlier spirit on the part of the blaz- ing stars for the younger aspirants, a helpful attitude. “But now the clannishness—you may call it snobbishness—of the out. standing women players is really rather amazing. They stick together like a crowd of mandarines and never seem to see the smaller fry. This is hardly helpful, or encouraging for the young and ambitious tourney girls. | _“But then the whole atmosphere is far more business-llke and snappy than it used to be. One of the amaz- ing things is the present system of rub-downs and massaging in the dres. sing rooms, as though our present | generation of lady rs were prize | fighters or foot ball players.

Marston of Philadelphia be. came amateur golf champion of the United States in 1923 after eight vears of competing in the event. Today he is an uncertain factor in the coming champlonship at the Oakmont Coun- try Club course. Marston is a most interesting links- man. There was a time when he used a long sweep of the club on the short est pitches with remarkable accuracy, but in recent years he has changed the style somewhat, until it more nearly approaches that of other golf- ers of note. Bob Gardner, veteran Chicagoan bas been Marston's nemesis in the search for the amateur crown, elim inating him in the early rounds and semi-finals three successive times. Last year at Merion he progressed to the semi-finals, putting out C. O. Hezlet of Ireland, J. Wood Platt and Dexter Cummings on the way, but he played poorly against George von Elm and was beaten, 7 and 6. MISS COLLETT-HAGEN CAPTURE GOLF MATCH RYE, N.

His score was 76. Miss Collett's 84 was largely due to her exceptional work with her driver, supported by accurate putting on the greens.

Houghton and Shorey won in a close finish, as they were 1 down at the seventeenth tee. Houghton won the seventeenth and Shorey won the eighteenth to annex the match. The winning team had a best ball of 74, against 75 for the losers. Even though they are not as well known as the pair who went from Washington to French Lick last year te play in the championship of the Professional Golfers’ Association, Dave Thomson of Washington and Ralph Beach of Burning Tree doubtless will give a splendid account of themselve: when the tilt gets under way at Chi- cago late in September. Thomson and Beach led a fleld of 27 players in the preliminary qualifying round at Columbia last Monday. Leading at Columbia, however, means only that they will represent this section in the title chase. At Chicago they will have another qual- ifying ordeal, for 64 will go to Chicago and only 32 will start in the match | play rounds. Another medal round is held at the venue of the P. G. A. event, with 32 to qualify. If Thomson | and Beach surviye the second qualify ing round they will have done well, indeed, for, even though they are both WOMEN I olf committee, Chairman Murphy of L. Crabb, the club professional. splendid golfers, they can hardly be expected to win against such a field as will compete at Olympia Fields. Thomson is a product of Scotland, a little, wiry chap who weighs in the neighborhood of 125 pounds. He hits a golf ball with the best of them, but hasn't quite the length of some of the far rangers of golfdom. In these days of the heavy, lively ball, how- ever, given u fast course, even the short hitter can very nearly hold his own with the siege guns of the game. Thomson from 150 yards away takes on the mantle of a Fred McLeod, for he is accuracy personified with « mashie. With his putter, however, Thomson is the king pin of profes- sional golf about the Capitai. It is doubtful, indeed, if any other profes sional about the city can equal the rare and consistent putting the Wash- ington mentor shows. He did not putt exceptionally well at Columbia, but ordinarily he gets around with fewer than 36 putts. Such a short game is hard to beat Beach is just the opposite of Thom son. Tall and lithe, Beach hits a ball as far as any pro in the country. He is famed for his long driving eyen from the days when he was a caddle at the Washington Golf and Country Club. Beach’s game, since he became instructor at the Burning Tree Club, has progressed by leaps and bounds until today he is a good and consist ent performer. Although Bannockburn’s new club- house will mnot be completed in time for the scheduled club Fall tournament, which is to be held Sep. tember %, 10, 11 and 12, additional locker room facilities will be ready for the throng of golfers expected to play in the event to be staged by the Cabin John Club. The clubhouse in its en. tirety is expected to be completed about November 15, according to W. R. Garrett, president of the club, whose firm is building the new struc- ture. It will be & much more com- modious structure than the present house. Bannockburn plans to dig up and reseed several of its greens after the tournament, planting them with vege- tative bent to insure a strong stand of grass next year. In the meantime work is proceeding steadily in the three new holes, Nos. 10, 11 and 12. A new tee has been constructed for the second hole near the first green, adding 50 yards to the length of the hole. The second hole at Bannock- burn for its entire length is almost straight up hill.

Griffin, he won the Casino doubles final from Ray Casey of California and Norton, 6—2, 6—I, 5—7, 2—6, 6—1. Johnston had little difficulty with Norton, although the former South African Davis Cup star started off in fiery fashion and took the first two games. Thereafter Johnston was su preme as he steadied, became the ug gressor and dominated the situation. He played brilliantly at crucial points when Norton was dangerous, but that was not often, and the battle re mained one of long range. As the match wore on, Johnston had little to do but to let Norton beat him self, except when the ¢ it necessary to finish off a for the point The progress of the championship doubles was peculiar.

The Marylanders earned the decision last vear and in 7923, when the annual encounter was Instituted. Playing without the services of Eddie Jacobs and Bob Elliott, their two outstanding stars, the Baltimore racketers were considerably handi capped and proved easy prey for the pick of Washington's coterie of mu- nicipal parks racket wielders. The visitors were outclassed, both in singles and doubles, the District players taking seven of the ten singles matches and triumphing in | three of the five team clashes.
