And he wants his own hits. related that once when he had pitched a fine game he bemoaned the fact that the day had not been kind to him be- cause he had not made a wallop. That's the kind of a fellow that does no ball club any harm.

With champlonship prospects bright at almost every camp, conference coaches marshaled their hopefuls to- day for the initial Fall practice of the campaign, which promises to be one of the hardest fought in more than a decade. It was the first time in the history of Western Conference foot ball that the teams reported for practice an the same day. This was done by agreement of all mentors to equalize training sessions. A record number of candidates, 100, reported, principally because of the new policy of reserve teams. ‘Bob Zuppke, whose fighting Illini up- set all predictions by winning the cham- pionship last year, had a great chancce again this season. He had at least a dozen letter men available and two or three more if they successfully hnrdle scholastic tangles. From Ann Arbor came “Bear” stories, but those who are familior with the mighty Maize and Blue machines again looked for & powerful eleven. Michigan will miss the great Bennie Oosterbaan and Gilbert, but there is another big supply of talent from the sophomore ranks and Coach Fielding Yost will be back again to aid with his genius.

RISCILLA WOODLEY won her way to the title round of the interplayground quoit tourna- ment_yesterday when she de- feated Katherine Doomis of Towa avenue in straight games, 21—11, 21—16, at the Happy Hollow center on Eighteenth street. Miss Woodley was scheduled to meet Margaret Burke of Garfleld, the winner of the lower bracket, for the title this morning. According to Maude N. Parker, di- rector of girls' playground activities in the District, some 900 girls have com- peted in the quoit championships this Summer, elimination ground events be- ing run off at the various centers provious to the opening of the city-wide tourney. Georgetown swimmers will participate in a playground tank pageant this afternoon in the Volta place pool at 2 o'clock, marking the close of the official swimming season for the play- grounds.

Squads in Big Ten Begin Work With Bright Prospects Starting his_thirty-seventh year as the coach at Chicago, A. A. Stagg had the best prospects In five years. In con- trast with other years, his foot ball material at the University of Chicago will be stronger in the backfield than in the line. Sixty-one men, including 14 letter men, were to report to Coach Dick Han- ley at Northwestern. The Purple has its hardest schedule in years this sea- son, but Hanley expects an eleven to meet the call. Wisconsin reported its strongest team since the days of Rollie Willlams Lack in 1923. Coach Thistletheaits had 19 letter men back and a promising squad of candidates. The Badgers will rush preparation for the Notre Dame battle Madison, October 6. Minnesota’s problem was to find a capable right tackle, center and left guard, but the outlook was bright, as a wealth of material is available, The knee injury to Raymond (“‘Pest”) Welch, star halfback, has clouded Pur- due’s prospects. Capt. Bill Moss and| Buck Weaver are the main cogs in In- diana’s machine, which Coach Pat Page sald will be faster than last year. Towa and Ohio State teams are out to, win for their coaches, who have been under alumni fire. Coach Jack Wilce has considerable material at Ohio State, as has Coach Ingwerson at Towsn. N SPORT Commodore W. E. Longfellow of the American Red Cross impersonated the deep-sea monarch yesterday and gave an amusing account of the history of swimming, declaring that the sport was first developed more than 50,000 years ago when the cave men in their re- treat from wild animals took to the water. In their efforts to run under water they developed the first swim- ming strokes. Wine merchants, he declared, pro- duced kicking strokes similar to those used in the crawl and for treading water, for while they supported their kegs by their hands they propelled with their feet. Roman soldiers are credited with developing the side stroke, according to the commodore, while David Cavell in- vented the crawl without the use of the feet. Rosedale girls demonstrated old and new fashioned types of swimming, wearing some “period” costumes of the seashore as a feature of their demon- stration. Those taking part were Ger- trude Haigh, Rufina King, Hazel Mar- tin, Shirley Davidson, Helen Courtney, Catherine Harrls, Helen Harris, An- gelina Statsuli, Hazel Wolfe, Margaret Callizon, Margaret Mansey and Jane AArnold. I for not in all the lengthy history of the game have the amateur champions of the two great golfing countries ever met in the final round for a national championship. Boston Is groggy with the excitement of it. realizing that to the Hub has come the greatest honor of all, and is betting scads of money on Jones to retain his championship. And well the residents of the land of the sacred cod might, for Jones has at last found his stride. The Killer Instinct in the bronzed Atlantan is on top once more, and he is very likely to bruisc the British enirant badiy before Perkins finally takes off his cap and shakes the hand of Jones in con- gratulation somewhere along the bunk- ered route today. Voigt Bows to Perkins. Perkins is in the final round by virtue of a 6-and-4 victory over George J. Voigt in one of the finest golf matches ever played, a match in which the Britisher survived the gun-fire of Voigl when the barrage grew hottest and only increased the pressure as the match wore on in its middle stages to close Voigt out on the thirty-second green. Jones crushed Phillips Finlay, the young Harvard student, under the driv- Ing power of a game that put the At- lanta lawyer around in 70 over the first 18 holes of the match and enabled him to go to lunch 9 up on the long- driving entrant from Boston. Finlay hardly gave Jones a match, for again the Boswon entrant was wild as a hawk irom the tee, and where he made the most marvelous recoveries to beat Har- rison R. Johnston in the quarter final, | Fownes, the 1910 champion, had been | against the super goli of Jones, his bril- hance did not avail, Nine up over the first 18 holes, Jones won the first three in the abbre- viated afternoon session, closing Finlay out on the sixth green. Bobby puts them away close to the clubhouse where the gallery wont have far to walk. The Per- kins-Voigt affair ended in a Scotch mist far out on the fuorteenth hole, where | match which was halted with the score i 4 4 4 H ke 3 i £ Total. 3 Total. 3.516 Grand total—6.054 yards, 72 par. | | too late. as he played a bad chip shot | to lose the thirteenth and become dor- 5 down when Perkins snugged a mashie shot alongside the pin and ran down the putt for a birdie 4, after half topping his second shot. .

The Jones-Finlay thing was just an- | other characteristic Jones walk-away. | Although Finlay drew first blood by winning the second hole, Bobby bore down and reached the ninth 3 up on| the Harvard lad. That was that and Bobby turned executioner at the eigh- teenth by sinking a 25-footer down hill to win with a 4 and turn 9 up. ‘The afternoon session was just another one of those things, for Bobby won the first three holes and then played for halves.

Mangin Is Nervous. Nerves quite obviously handicapped Mangin, a 20-year-old sophomore at Georgetown with a national tennis ranking of only 26, but nerves also secmed to bothe: Cochet. Whereas Mangin's trepidation came from a more or less sleepless night resulting {rom realization that he had a chance to beat the great Cochet, Henri let such an accident as the posting of a wrong score on the board and the consequent hooting of the crowd disturb him to such an extent that he lost a game on his service at love on four successive errors. Cochet won, however, because he made fewer errors than the hard-work- ing youngster and because Mangin let some of the sting die out of his game in the effort to improve his control. Bowman Beats Helen Wills, In an exhibition match. Helen Wills, the national woman's champion, was beaten by Herbert L. Bowman of New York. 6—2, 6—4, and in the concluding set of the quarter-final round match between Hunter and Jack Crawford of Australia, Hunter won, 7—3, 3—8, 6—3, victory N. Whether or not it was because this putting of a feminine star against a masculine one has lost its novelty, a gumber of persons in the gallery of 7.000 walked out after the first set. Miss Wills was able to put up little opposition against the more varied game | of Bowman, who is rankad No. 13 among the country’s man players. Hunter and George Lott were favored 2lmost equally for their semi-final jround tilt at 2:30 p.m. today. but Shields was conceded no more than s fighting chance against Cochet in the other match an hour later.
