The little Californian, who has three times held the national championship and many times won the hearts of sport lovers the world over by her modest grace in accepting victory or defeat, will be seen no more in the great arenas | where the foremost amateur stars gather to test their relative skill. | This thought brings a poignant | pang of regret to thousands of tennis followers. But, at the same time,| those who know the circumstances | leading to her unexpected decision cannot but feel glad for her sake that the opportunity has come her way to put to some good use her outstanding talent. That Mary K. actually needs the income which she will earn under her new contract with C. C.

C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1926. and Catholic University Grid Squads Begin Work Tomorrow MISS BROWNE’S STEP GRATIFIES SUZANNE| By the Associated Press NEW YORK. ptember 7. Suzanne Lenglen is delighted that Mary K. Browne is going to play pro- onal tennis against her. liss Browne's change to profes- the wind is blow- Mlle. Lenglen said in Nice when ‘med that Miss Browne had ac- cepted an offer of Charles C. Pyle 10 join the French star in a tour of Mile. Lenglen is reported to have been guaranteed hetween $100,000 and 250,000 for turning professional. Miss Browne expects to net between | $40,000 and 000. It is understood | she has been guaranteed $15,000, plus | 5 per cent of the gate receipts. Miss Browne has been national champlon three times. In 1924 she reached the finals in the national woman's golf championship and the emi-finals of the national tennis ampionship. She was a semi- finalist in the national tennis cham- pionship this year One of the features of Mile. Leng len's tour will be an offer of a purse to any opponent who wins four games in a two-set miatch with her. Miss Browne said it was a case “of business necessity”” with her, as she had to make her living, and golf and tennis were expensive luxuries. She sald her move into profes- sional tennls was “a pioneer -effort to clear the game of the taint of pro- fessionalism.” “It will help to take the hypocrisy out of American tenqis.” At Berkeley, Calif., Helen Wills made this comment: “1 don’t blame her for taking the step if she thought it desirable. I den't think ethics of the tennis court wre involved at all. TWO SESSIONS A DAY FOR 6. U. GRID SQUAD ASBURY PARK, N.

O E of the men who has been most instrumental in keeping the oppo- nents from scoring on the strong elevens put out each year by the Golden Tornadoes is their leader this Fall. This honor falls to the lot of Owen Pool, a resident of Atlanta, and center of the team. 00l 1 his fundamentals at the Boys' High School of Atlanta, where his work was outstanding. His work at college has been above reproach, he being selected by many Southern critics as the leading center in the Southern Conference, which is composed of 22 of the leading teams in the South. On defense Pool is not on the line, but is used to back up the lins, he being a wonder at plugging up holes that have been made by opposing linemen. The work of Pool in the battles that Georgla Tech has w the Hoosler elevens of Knute Rockne has been of the highest caliber. COACH. N some manner or other Coach William A. (Bill) Alex- ander has been connected with the development of Georgia Tech’s elevens for the past 16 years. It was in the Fall of 1912 that he first acted in this capacity, being an assistant to the famous John Hels- man, who had charge of the teams at that institution from 1912 until the Fall of 1920, when Alexander took over the reins as head coach. jeorgia Tech has always been noted for its great teams, and it can be Georgia Tech ely said that their best records were made during the regime of Alex- ander. He is an advocate of the off-tackle style of play, somewhat on the order of that used by Gil Doble. Some of the best men in the South have been under his super- vision, notably the famous “Red” Barron, Douglas Wyckoff, Flowers of last year's eleven and Fincher. Alexander is probably one of the busiest coaches in the country, being at the head of all the coaching staffs for all the sports in which the university takes part. His record in that capacity has been far above the aver- age, Georgia Tech being noted for its fine all-around team. Georgla Tech, which is the alma mater of Alexander, clalms him as one of the best linesmen ever turned out Owen Poole Captain The schedule of Georgia Tech for 1926 follows September 25—Oglethorpe at Atlanta.

Many golfers insist that they hold the head still during the swing and vet it bobs up just before the ball is hit. Others insist that it is not possible for them to hold the head still during the | swinging exertion. The truth of the matter for both types of such golfers is that they are pressing perhaps without | knowing what con- | stitutes pressing. | When the effort | to bring the club | forward is ap- plied with such force that the club attains a velocity that is be- vond the strength of the hands, something must give. Usually the body ylelds and the head goes up.
