EASY VICTOR ATHOLIC U C IVERSITY invaded the George Washington gym- nasium last night and handed the Hatchetite five a setback in a game that at times was a good exhibition of the court sport, but at other times resembled a foot ball contest and once or twice took on the appearance of a three-ring circus The final count was 42 to 31, but it was not until the second half when Coach Fred Rice yanked his first team that the home five made any sort of a showing.

The visitors were outscored 26 points to 10 during the second half, but the rally of the Buff and Blue players failed to carry them within hailing distance of the enemy. Kendall of George Washington and Harvey of Catholic U. ran a close race for first honors in scoring. The former accounted for 13 points with & goals from scrimmage and 1 free shot. of foul tosses. Foley also had a big night and contributed five court goals to the winners’ total.

The fans looked on in rather a bored manner while Suzanne was over- whelming Miss Wright, allowing her only 12 points in the two sets, but they were asking one another, “What | will she do against Miss Wills?" == Record Is Uniaue. The French star's record in this tournament is believed to be unique. In the singles she met five players, some of considerable stréngth, but not one was able to win a game. Her victims were Miss Heffely, Mile. Mar- Jolet, Mrs. C. F. Aeschlimann (the for- mer Leslie Bancroft), Mrs, R. E. Hay- lock and Miss Wright. In her mixed doubles match today Miss Wills played superb tennis. She showed great improvement -in her overhead game, which hi8 been weak, and altogether the match went far to refute the dictum of the experts that Miss Wills could not play doubles. This victory insures a meeting - to- morrow afternoon between Helen and Suzanne, although only in mixed dou- bles. The other finalist team is Mlle. Lenglen and Baron Henri de Mor- phurgo, and the Nice fans will be treated to the first exchange of shots between the two champions. Tomorrow morning Miss Wills and Miss Efleen Bennett of England will play Miss Wright and Mrs. Haylock in the finals of the women's doubles. Seem Certain to Meet. Georges Simmons of Monte Carlo, called the Mussolini of Riviera ten- nis, who handles every tournament during the Winter from Mentone to Marseille, completed the draw for next week’s Carlton tournament this evening. The seeded draw is expect- ed to make it certain that Miss Wills and Mile. Lenglen will meet in the finals of the singles. Mile. Lenglen in the upper half of the draw has only one serious opponent to dispose of, Mlle. Henriette Contoslavos. The others drawn against her include no one capable of giving the French champion even the shaddow of an argu- ment. The American champlon will have a harder road to travel. She must dis- pose of Mlle. Didi Viasto, France's second ranking , and Mtss Har- vey, one of the firgt 10 in England. The bettors at Monte Carlo today were laying 7 to 1 for Mlle.

DICK HARLOW, Foot B Boxing Coach at Colgate. T HE Willr and boxing made Gene ‘Tunney one of the world's bgst known athletes. Tunney is the fellow. who went overseas just ome of a few million and came back a champion boxer. Today he is the logical challenger of | k Dempsey for the heavyweigh championship of the world. He betame a great boxer in the | Marines and won the light-heavy; weight interallied championship at Paris, France. He fought vafiantly with the Marines and later in the ring. #And today he is one of the| best liked boxers of all time, because he is a gentleman, a good sports- man and a splendid boxer. ‘Any boy who learns to box and en- joys the give and take of it, is bound to come out a better fellow than he was before. Every real manly boy should know how to box. Yesterday 1 told you about the left jab, easily the most important lesson in boxing. Today I'm going to give you several pointers. A “lead” is when you attempt to land cleanly with either glove. It is always well to precede a lead with one or more feints. A feint is a bluff at leading. . Shadow box a lot. Alwsys keep the Teft foot ahead of the right and your itwo feet far emough apart so as to maintain a good balance. ‘When hitting with one hand be pre- pared to block or follow up with the other. Aim your blows af the side of the chi Don’t try to make your | blows punishing by aiming at your | opponent eves, ears or_nose. The success of any blow depends upon its speed and unexpectedness. | Don't telegraph a blow. To telegraph | means to draw back efther glove and | pause a fraction of a second—long enough to give your opponent an idea of your intentions. Aggressiveness is the best defense. | Keen s0 busy vour opponent won't | have a chance to hit you. Keep moving at all times—it is | harder for your opponent to hit you then. A moving is always harder to hit. Tomorrow—Some other follow the left jab lesson. BOY BUILDERS. Stand erect, hands on hips, chest out and chin in. Throw arms out and then bend elbows and let finger tips rest on shouiders; sway body to left and then to right, repeating several times. This is great exercise for the muscles of the arms, shoulders, back, chest and stomach.

The club buttons' made their appear- ance on the streets a few days ago and the number of wearers is growing steadily. 7 Boxing is the subject of today’s dis- cussion, again being handled by Coach Harlow. The lessons are very popular with the members of the club, as the sport always has been with the boys of all time. The manly art of self-defense is as old as man and has existed in some form, how- ever crude, since the beginning of time. It {s the personal contact phase of the sport that has made it popular. The members of the club, like all American boys, are partial to sports in which there is a personal-contact element. This is distinctly American, although, to repeat a saying, Welling- ton had this in mind when he said “Waterloo was won on the rugby fields of Eton.” Which was a way of saying that the rugby of England played a large part in making the British soldier what he was. - Boxing is one of the best loved of sports, although its popularity is a bit dimmed by its confusion with the commercial -phase of the sport. The Evening Star Boys Club {s indeed fortunate to be able to acquire the services of such brilllant_coaches as Dick Harlow and Spike Webb. Coach Harlow will tell us some more boxing tomorrow and then Spike Webb will return for a day. After that, perhaps, w&'ll have some sket ball. There are many good things coming, boys, so read your calumn daily and clip these articles. You will want to refer to them at some future date. ST.
