Not the firmest supporters of the fennis plaving newspaper owner from New Rochelle, N. Y., believed it possible for the American to win after Borotra had rolled up & two-set lead. did it is the story of one of the greatest eomebacks in the history of interna- tional tennis. Hunter Is Confident. It seems that Hunter has got it into his head that he is going to win this tournament and he didn't see fit to change his mind even when Borotra had him down by two sets to love. Josing the first set at love without a single earned point to his credit, Hunter began to observe that his well placed drives were making life constantly tougher for the agile Basque. His shirt as dripping wet with perspira- tion and an occasional glaring error be- trayed a hand that shook from weari- ness ever o slightly. Borotra, who has been combining his tennis on this trip with his business of making and marketing pumping de- vices, noticed it, too. So he chose to toss away the third set and make his bid after the intermission. The set was just the toe-hold the rlggy Hunter needed. With Borotra wing down steadily, he steamed up his own game bit by bit. Under the steady machine gun fire of those whiz- zing drives, Borotra's game began to g0 o pieces after he had led at four games to two in what would have been the final set had he been able to win it. But Hunter took it instead with a burst of four straight games. Then, cutting loose recklessly, he tore the Borotra de- fenses all apart to sweep the last set with a.loss of but two games and win the match, 0—8, 5—7, 6—0, 6—4, 6—2. Faces Another Test. Hunter's strong game gets another testing when he meets Jack Craw- ford of Australia in the gquarter-final round today, the Anzac having produced an unusuaily steady and deceptive all- court game in upsetting Johnny Van Ryn, one of the leading American en- :‘3;‘ by scores of 4—6, 6—4, 1—6, 6—2, In another quarter-final match two of the strongest United States players must try to kill one another off.

RESERVES ARE NEED OF VIRGINIA ELEVEN UNIVERSITY, Va. September 13.— Thirteen is not an unlucky number for the foot ball squad of the University of Virginia, for 13 letter-men of last season reported for practice on Septem- ber 13, Thursday, not Friday. These 13 veterans are all that may be expected back this year. Capt. William C. Luke, tackle, heads the wearers of the “V.” There are seven other linemen—George Tay- lor, center: Wallace W. Symington, Garland Daniel and Floyd Harris, guards, and Howard Turner, Harry F. Flippin and William E. Byrd, jr., ends. Five returning backfield men are: John K. Sloan and Bledsoe Pinkerton, quarterbacks; Oscar T. Close and Augustus Kaminer, halfbacks, and Hun- ter Faulconer, fullback. With this baker's dozen of experi- enced men In uniform, Coach Earle Neale knows what he may expect and what problems of training and tactics must be solved before the eleven is ready to open the season against Ran- dolph-Macon on September 29. Virginia has expected all along to have an experienced team this Fall, and 10 letter-men of last year probably will start the season together. But re- serve strength is greatly needed, and Coach Neale is combing his squad, picking out second-string men for var- sity replacements. After the opening game the Cavaliers have not a rest in sight. Seven South- ern Conference teams are to be met r|and, in addition, Princeton is to be|: played on October 13. And whether October. 13 will be as lucky as Septem- ber 13 is another question. ", TIP FOR FISHERMEN. HARPERS FERRY, W.

W. It appears that George Washington University's foot ball team will be an- other eleven of “iron men” this season. Last Fall, despite an unusually limited squad, Coach H. Watson (Maud) Crum’s charges showed sturdily. Indications are that they will have to get along with another small squad this year and one which will not be so strong as in 1927. There are now 19 men on the Colonial roster. On the offensive team he used yester- day in the squad’s first scrimmage Crum had all seasoned men except for Davis, an end, who, however, has shown much promise and appears likely to make the eleven. In the backfield were Clapper, Lopeman, Barrows and San- ders, the last mentioned holding forth at quarter. Sanders weighs only 125, but whenever he played last year showed strongly. Berkowitz, a member of the Colonial 1927 freshmen team, also is being tried for a backfleld job. Carey, end; Rollins, member of the G. W. freshmen team last Fall, and Allshouse, tackles; Frazier and Cox, also a 1927 yearling gridder, guards, and N Clemens, center, comprised the | rd- mainder of the offensive combmatioh YEssteerdl}', veral of the players yesterdhy were at posts different than they oc'cupmrd last year, Crum believing that by doing some shifting he might be able to strengthen his team. = Allshouse, who showed well at tackle, played end in 1927 and Clemens, a back last Fall. may develop into a successful center, Socks Sallenger, tackle, weighing more than 200 and standing six feet two, reported yesterday and promises to prove a fine addition to the squad. Van Meter, another tackle, is expected to be on hand Monday. | Today’s o ow Cost of - Rubber Affords Greatest Saving For All Tire Users ODAY’S favorable tire price situation extends to all car owners the advantages of running on the best rubber. With the price of crude rubber down to production cost, tire prices are proportionately N ow that the market OW even the top quality affords the best for so little, few car owners are satisfied to worry along with short-lived rubber. Few. are hesitating to join the big swing to quality — a nationwide swing so tremendous that it has carried the General tire factory to the greatest sales gain of all rubber companies, millions ahead of all during the past season — the only real gain among the big five rubber factories of Akron, the rubber cen- ter.
