THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, JANUARY 3. 1927. SPORTS., SPORTS. Politics Apt to Vie With Compelition for Public Interes SCHOOL FIVES TO START COLLEGE RELATIONSHIPS TO BE AFFECTED VITALLY Yale Likely to Adjust Sch edule to Offset Break Be- tween Harvard and Princeton—Pro Tennis and Foot Ball May Fare Poorl BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, January 3.—Ama- teur sport in the vear of 1927 holds much for those who in addition to - loving _contests well fought have a philosoph- jcal, if not more vital, interest in fol- lowing the devious trends of athletic politics as well as the various mani- festations of human nature, collective and individual, which mark the com- petitive as well as the diplomatic as- pects of national pursuits on field, track and stream. Developments in the relationship of the colleges which made up the Big Three of the East will be well worth watching. As the situation stands, Yale will be called upon to balance Harvard and Princeton, while Nassau and the Crimson will be able to proceed without reference one to the other and yet be commonly joined in their allegiance to Yale. It would not be surprising if the year saw changes in the triple agree- ment under which athletics were con. ducted at New Haven, Princeton and Cambridge. For one thing, the ab- surdity of expecting foot ball pla ers to report for practce on Septem- ber 15 and then .in October face the sort of opposition they are called upon to meet is likely to be recog- nized. Permission for an extra week of preliminary practice may well re- sult. In the matter of schedules a point may come up in which Yale may feel it fair and just to her two ancient rivals to decide whether she shall con- tinue to play her last game of the year with Harvard or have the final contest alternate between Harvard and Princeton. Nothing is likely to be termined this year, and in the end the character of opposition which the Elis come to expect from their two great rivals may be the decisive factor. In the Middle West the forthcom- ing convention of the Big Ten presi- dents, athletic directors and coaches may result in some radical changes in the practical conduct as well as the spirit of this organization. The question of intersectional games will in particular be a very important issue. So will the matter of schedules. Down South the decision of the Southern Conference to continue the foot ball season to the midéle of De- cember, with important, not to say crucial, games coming after Thanks- giving day, will give Dixie foot ball new significance, and critics from the East and West will not overlook these struggles. Upon the way the inno- vation works out will depend whether the season will be carried to Christ- mas in 1928. ° The fate of the lawn tennis play- ers who turned professional may have rather a pathetic cast when Spring comes and all the good little amateurs are foregathering under the kindly and generous aegis of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. Pro tennis, with Mlle. Lenglen here, has by no means been an unqualified suc- cess in the late Fall and Winter, and ‘what it will be when she returns home is not difficult to determine. There will be plenty of thrill to the amateur tourneys, and while Richards and Kinsey and Mary Browne will be missed, their absence will not affect the game at all. Preparations for the Olympic games in 1928 in Holland will be going for- ward, of course. Just how effective they will be, now that the National Amateur Athletic Federation and the Nationdl Collegiate Association have withdrawn from the Olympic body, remains to be seen. We shall see, in all probability, conflicts of dates and more than a little bad temper. If as a net result American athletes make a comparatively poor showing in the great international meeting in 1928 it will be no more than the so-called fathers of track and field sport in this country deserve. Partisan politics and national causes are not a happy com- bination. Some of the promoters of profes- siona] foot ball in 1926, even those who lost huge sums of money, are holding a gamely deflant stance just now. In spite of their losses they are going ahead with the game next Fall, they say. If they do they are likely to find that the market for college players is extremely tight, since it now appears that bond selling and other pursuits are more stable if not 8o quickly productive in a financial ;fl,\' (on paper) than mercenary foot 11 In golf there will be an interesting test of the ability of the British open to stand up with pristine prestige, in spite of the absence of star American pros and amateurs. For the first time since American golt amounted anything, the dates of the English and American open tourneys practi- cally coincide, and if the reports com- ing from England represent the gen- eral attitude over there, this fact is not viewed with equanimity by the golfing enthusiasts of the tight little tsle. Probably the United States Golf As- sociation had the best of reasons for its action in setting the open at an early date, but it does seem that any- thing that interrupts the splendid athletic relations between the Uniteg States and England which recent | years have seen should be viewed in- tolerantly as nothing short of per- nicious. Alabama showed her class from the standpoint of national foot ball in the game she played against the strong; Stanford team at Pasadena on Satu BOWLERS GET PRIZES IN COLISEUM EVENT| Florence Reamy and Virginia Yar- nell, with scores totaling 584, took first prize in the women's section of | the bowling tourney at the Coliseum. Mae Hart and Pauline Ford took the second prize, while third prize went to Elizabeth Kerlin and Miss Jarvis and fourth prize to Florence Rembold and Catherine Morlarty. The special prizes for woman bowlers were won by Elizabeth Kerlin, who had high game of 131, and Florence Reamy, with high set of 312. In the mixed drawing, prizes were awarded as follows: son and Mrs. Martin, 632; second, Mr. Glekas and Mrs. Mischou, 612; third, Mr. Bailey and Miss Head, 611 fourth, tie between Mr. Galeher and Mrs. An- derson sand Mr. Kay and Miss Cox, each 59§ In the men's saction Pappas and Hendley and Darnell and Hurd were to | B First, Mr. Wat. | day. As the writer suspected would be the case, the Cardinals had the more versatile and elusive offense, but the Dixie eleven was able to offset this superiority by superb defensive play, especially in the tackle positions. Hoffman's forward passing was un- canny in its accuracy; every one was thrown into the receiver's hands, and Wallace Wade of Alabama advises the writer that his screen pass thrown to a runner behind a_mass of inter- ference was very effective. Wade thinks Hyland is one of the most graceful runners he ever saw on a gridiron. ITH the holiday season a 2 thing of the past, bowlers will resume their league activities on a great scale. Practically all of the cir- cults of the city that suspended com- petition the third week of last month will be on the drives tonight. A few of the duckpinners, however, kept going during the past week. Accounts of the work in several of the leagues follow MASONIC LEAGUE.

To the onlooker who never has played the game might appear one of chance from the beginning to the end. But close watching reveals that |a good club has plays which fit into practically every situation pn the floor.

Some- times it is a number, as in foot ball. Generally, on account of the excite- ment in the stands, the signal is a certain position of the hands on the chest. One signal might be an arm up- raised. Seeing this, the center knows his right forward is coming in for the tap. He jumps and hits the ball slightly in such a way as to place it in the hands of his forward. The bal then goes to an inrushing guard, while the center avoids his man and cuts for the basket. Once in a position to shoot, he re- ceives a quick pass from the guard and scores two points. This is an ex- tremely simple play. More complicated plays take place while the game is actually going at top speed. These are innumerable. the | ITH both the public high title series and the 135 pound preparatory school championship games get- ting under way and a num ber of other tilts carded, this week will see local schoolboy basket ball Igeninz into full stride.

My mother went down with me and we took a house. I bought a horse and spent most of the day on horse. back. The Virginia Military Insti- tute Athletic Association had been pretty hard hit by the loss of revenue, due to curtailment of the foot ball season on account of the typhoid fever epidemic. As they did not have a base ball coach and as I was right on the ground I offered my services. I had played some base ball at college. While this was my only experience coaching the game, T would say it was easier to coach base ball than foot ball. Possibly 1 make this statement be- cause our ball team at V. M. I was much better than either of our foot ball teams. There isn't the mental element in base ball that one finds in foot ball and it Is much easier for one man to handle the practice sessions I had a lot of fun with the ball team. As 1 was a volunteer coach, I did not feel quite the same responsibility 1 did when I was coaching foot ball. We won all the important games on the schedule. Loses Most of First Team. When the Fall came around I was much better equipped to handle my job intelligently than I had been in my first vear. Unfortunately, I did not know the material, as the last Fall our foot ball had stopped in mid season, I had only beon able to get a line on the playing ability of the first team and they had all, with one or two exceptions, been seniors. We did not even have a captain when the squad got together. I was at a bit of a loss how to proceed. It seemed to me it would be a mis- take to hold an election at once, as there was no line on who would make the best man. Some suggested that I, as coach, appoint a captain, but I was not in favor of this plan, as I always have been of the opinion that the foot ball team, and the team alone, should elect its leader. I do not be- lieve in the coach taking any part in the selection of the captain or giving any suggestions on the subject at all. The choice is distinctly a team matter. 1 decided to put off the selection for two weeks, at the end of which time T called- the best 22 men together and had them vote for the captain. They selected a cadet by the name of James, who was the ranking cadet officer at the academy. He never had played foot ball until the last Fall when he played on the scrub. On the whole their cholce was a wise one. James ‘was a born leader and absolutely fear- less. While not very big, he prob. ably was the strongest man on the squad, with a great personality. He took hold in fine shape and played a very creditable game all Fall, though he was injured rather early, I think because he played so hard. Plans to Stress Defense. When the season opened I was a bit uncertain as to the style of attack I would give the team. The fact that Princeton in the Yale game last Fall had discarded the offense we used when I was a player, and the further fact that Poe had used with consid- erable success at Virginia a modifi- cation of the Yale tackleback, had shaken my confidence in my offense of last Fall, which was what we had at Princeton during my own playing days. 1 decided to look the material over before coming to any decision as to style of attack. After a careful survey {t seemed to me that we might get together a fair defensive team, and James, the captain, was a very good kicker. Outside of this, it didn't Took as if we had much, so I gave the team a few simple plays and put most of my time on the kicking and defense. ‘We had a very hard schedule, par- ticularly so in view of the material. ‘The third game of the year was with the Naval Academy at Annapolis, while the following week we went to Charlottesville to play the University of Virginia. These games were two pretty hard nuts to crack. The Navy game greatly stimulated general in- Institute. The authorities there justly prided themselves that the institute ranked as the West Polnt of the South and everyone from the superintendent down was anxious to see our team make a good showing at Annapolis. I could tell from the zest shown at the early practice that the entre squad, from the captain down to the lowest “rat” on the squad (they called the first-year men rats), was straining every nerve every minute of the time. I was greatly surprised to receive word from the commandant, Col. Strother, the week before the Navy game that the foot ball squad would be excused from drill. This was un- heard of at the institute. X The V. M. I. team put up a greaf game when the day came. We held them to a 0.0 score the first half. Our team got a great hand from the crowd when we came off the fleld. The Navy team was much bigger and stronger and was a better foot ball team. Everyone could see that, but the V. M. I. cadets fought their heads off. In the second half superior re- | serves told. The Navy had three teams of nearly equal strength, while we had only one eleven. Our substitutes | were much smaller than our first team and goodness knows our first-team men were small enough. Every man on our team played as long as he could stand up, and each had to be literally dragged from the game. The Navy managed to push over two touchdowns in the second half, but they had no easy job doing it. We were a_tired lot that boarded the Southern train that night. I think 1 was as tired as any member of the squad. That game showed me what fight and spirit could do against supe- rior odds. Effects Felt All Season. ‘We never recovered from the effects of the Navy game all season. I did not realize at the time how grueling a game it was and how much it took out of the team.

ROPER, HEAD COACH PRINCETON 'NIVERSITY DON LOURIE, Developed into an All-American quar- ter by Roper. - our stand against the Navy being the only redeeming feature. 1 was rather discouraged after my first two years of coaching. I wasn't very proud of my record and thought I had better get out of the business as soon as possible. I liked the associa- tion with boys and the open-air work, but I did not like seeing the other fellow win all the games. I turned again to my horse and in my daily rides over the Virginia moun- tains played each game over several times. That Winter I had an accident that might have turned out rather serfously. That it didn’t I attribute to my foot ball training. One cold ‘Winter day I was riding down a steep mountain road when my horse sud- denly reared and fell. I admit I had not been watching him as closely as I should. The fall threw me over his head. In an instant my horse was up on his feet and had started down the rocky road on a dead run, drag- ging me after him, my left foot having caught in the stirrup. There was a deep mountain stream at the foot of the hill, full of rocks. In an instant I realized I must keep my head up off the ground or it would be knocked to pieces and that some- how I must get loose {rom that stir- rup before my horse got to the stream. I put my hands behind my head and raised it up as far as I could from the ground. I kept my body as re- laxed as possible. I always had coached the members of the foot ball team to do this when they fell. I am glad to say I managed to kick my foot loose from the stirrups after I had been pulled about half-way down the hill. A couple of hours later some farmer going to town found me and gave me a lift to my home. I was in bed for four or five weeks, but luckily escaped without permanent in- jury to my back. When I got well again I made up my mind to study law at the University of Virginia the coming Fall. I had lived out of doors for over two years and felt much stronger and better for it. Returns to Princeton. In the late Spring, much to my astonishment, I got a wire from Princeton asking me if I would coach the ends the next Fall. I wired back I would like to very much if I could arrange to enter the University of Virginla Law School after the foot ball season. I was glad to continue coaching, as T needed the money to send myself through law school. For- tunately, the Princeton season was a short one. I found I would not miss very much at law school, provided I would study during the Summer, so I wired my acceptance to the Princeton authotities. I had enjoyed my stay at Lexington. The V. M. I is a great school, but, of course, I was delighted to be going back to Princeton. And so ends the ‘‘cut-back’ to my earlier life, the later days having been given in previous installments of my story. (Copy: 1926.) WALLACE MoTor Co. NASH New and Used Cars 1709 L Street N.W.

Tommy Armour, professional of the Congressional Country Club, Wash- D. C. victor in the Long Beach event, which closed yesterday, collected $750 and turned toward Los Angeles. The former British amateur cham- pion, with the most brilliant and con- sistent playing of the field of 66 golfers in the championship flight, emerged from the 54-hole grind with a gross card of 207. His three rounds were 69—71—67, the last breaking par by four strokes. Macdonald Smith of Great Neck, N.
