This year should be no exception, even though Pittsburgh opens the season minus Gib- by Welch, its outstanding player. Aleck Fox, captain and guard, is a stellar lineman. Parkinson, fullback, and Ed- wards, quarterback, are veterans. While last year’s Pitt team had a lot of seniors, the Freshman team was unusually strong. Hood, from Bellefonte Academy, will bear watching. E On paper Harvard seems to have better material than for several years. For the last two seasons Eddie Casey has been turning out high-grade Fresh- man teams, having lost only one game in two years. This material, seasoned by a year or two of varsity experience, should make itself felt this year. Capt. French at halfback is a fine gxlnyer, He is supported by Guarnaccia, arper, Porter, Gilligan, last year’s Preshman quarterback from Exeter, and Batcheler, halfback on last year’s year- lings. with a splendid record from Milton Academy. I understand that Putnam, quarterback of two years ago, is eligible this Fall. In the line, Bell, last year's center, possibly may return.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. ITTSBURGH, September 17.— Down in a hole in the ground, where lies the Carnegie Tech gridiron, the Tartan gridiron warriors, Walter P. Steffen, tors are working with three dates in mind. Ail of them lie in 1926. ‘The first was_a nipping cold Saturday early in Deccmber when the Skibo laddies tumbled forth upon the gridiron to give battle to the all-conquering Notre Dame outfit. Lying behind the South Bend outfit were the following victims: Min- nesota, Northwestern, which tied with Michigan that year for the Western Conference title. Indiana, Penn State, Georgia Tech, Beloit and Drake. The South Benders came to this city, bringing with them all their vic- torious assets except one—their coach. That day, with a great season lying behind them and no thought that Carnegie Tech would give his team anything more than a fairly stiff work- out, Knute Rockne sat with two emi- nent colieagues, Tad Jones of Yale and Glenn Warner of Stanford. They were through with coaching for the season. They were no longer coaches; they were newspaper reporters, assigned to write the Army-Navy game, which was be- ing played in the Soldiers’ Stadium in Chicago. Rockne Is Jolted. It was a great game to see and Rockne was enjoying it as much as any one wken a telegraph operator in the rear handed the writer a dispatch, ask- ing him to give it to Knute, who sat in the front row. ‘That message contained few works, but it is likely that no ong ever got a greater jolt out of a sentence so short. It read: “Final score—Carnegie Tech 19, Notre Dame 9.” Carnegie, Which Engages G. U., Is Due to Have Great Eleven THE EVENING, STAR. WAS'HINGTON’: D. that year lle in November and marked victories over Pittsburgh and West Vir- ginia. That year against Notre Dame the coach practically threw his left tackle away, so far as inside defense was concerned, sticking him out with the end: and the Irish knew not how to adjust their attack to the specially de- vised defense. And besides, the Tartans had wingmen who were designed by na- ture to perform brilliantly in the end- around attack for which Judge Steffen has always stood as chief exponent. Since ihe close of that 1926 season, the coach has been looking for a pair of ends such as he had that year, or at least one wing artist who approximated the ability of the great Medford. Last year his search proved vain. But this season ramping about on the Carnegie gridiron are two prospects who struck the writer as destined to merit a lot of attqntion from the critics as the com- ing’ season progresses. One of them bears the potent name of Alanagan; and the other is named Rosenzwiz As Coach Steffen views these two sophomore ends his smile is expansive. They are going to gccumulate a lot of Tarian yardage this Fall. It would be too much to ask of them that they develop this season into Medfords. But all the probabilities are that they will remind Carnegie enthusiasts of that gifted young man. There is a third promising young end named Sweet who may also be heard from. Has Clever Backs. Also there is one of those backs, two of them in fact, that occasionally ap- pear to gladden the heart of the most exacting coach. One is Karcis and the other Eyeth. The latter weighs 175 pounds and is rugged, fast and elusive. He will be heard from nationally before the season is over. And Dreshar, an- other sophomore, holds great promise at center. In brief the prospects are that Tech will have this year her greatest eleven. Notre Dame, who plays host to the Skibo team on Nevember 17 at South Bend, is hereby warned and so are New York U., Georgetown, Pitt, West ‘The other two memorable dates of Virginia and others. NNAPOLIS, Md., September 17. —Naval Academy foot ball coaches are not; by any means, expecting an easy job in their opening game, which will be played here September 29 against Davis and Elkins. On the contrary, they have reason to believe that this team, which has fre- quently given elevens of high rank an unexpectedly tough encounter, is mak- ing special efforts to make a good show- ing against the midshipmen. Davis and Elkins, according to in- formation received here, has been at work for three weeks, which is about 10 days longer than the Navy squad has been engaged in practice. Davis and Elkins also will have the advantage of a previous try-out, as it meets the University of West Virginia on the preceding Saturday, while the game will be the first for the Naval Academy. Under these conditions, everything possible has been done to bring the Navy team along, but the work of the past week, during which four scrim- mages have been held, has not been en- tirely encouraging. Two members of the squad, Cass, a fine back, and Fojt, a promising end and tackle, have met with accidents which will incapacitate them during most of the season, and an X-ray of Spring, one of the best backs, who broke his collarbone in a lacrosse game last California Offense Baffles Opponent Last _year Wesleyan won the “little three championship” from Amherst and Williams, Bill Wood, the coach, is hopeful he will repeat. | Charlie Caldwell, fullback on the Princeton team for three years, is coaching Willlams. “Dad” White is back at Ambherst.

The Army also has a wealth of vet- tern material. Harry Wilson is gone, but there are a lot of other good backs to take his place. Sprague, tackle and captain, is the outstanding Army line- an. i1 know of no team in the country playing a more colorful schedule than the Army. Yale, Harvard, Notre Dame, Nebraska and Stanford touch pretty much every section of the country. Coach “Biff” Jones faces a real test in keeping the Army team fit for its gruelling schedule. Columbia is an unknown quantity. Charlie Crowley is a splendid coach. If his material comes through he will | produce a strong team. Dobie.at Cor- nell has been handicapped for the last tWo or three years by lack of time and inexperienced material. Cornell is like- 1v to stage a comeback, and no one is E;‘V":r qualified than Dobie to get re- racuse and Colgate have outstand- ine teams. Both have excellent pros- pects. Hugo Bezdek had a good team At Penn State last Fall, and should have a better one this year. Princeton Squad Good. At Princeton we have some first-class, string material, but few capable shbstitutes. Of last year's eleven, Capt. Howe, center: White and Barford, tackles, and Stinson and Lawler, ends, are back. Our problem is to get two guards. In the backfield Miles, Ed Wittmer and Norman are available. Baruch. quarterback, has left college. Strubing, who alternated with Baruch, is back. Bennett, halfback on last year’s freshman team, who comes from Kiski, will be tried at quarter, The Princeton schedule is a hard one. We have departed from our time-hon- ored custom, and meet the Navy after the Yale gume. This is an experiment, and I have 1o idea how it will work out, Prospects are ro: the University of Pennsylvania. Coach Young has a great player in Capt. Paul Scull, a hard running ‘halfback and the best drop kicker in this section of the country. In Western Pennsylvania, W. & J. loses Amos, a great back. Carnegie Tech had a championship freshman team last year, and should be strong this Fall. No team in the East has been more BY SOL METZGER. “The science of offense,” thinks Dick Hanley, Northwestern:foot ball mentor, ‘“consists in keeping the other team guessing.” California does it. For example, from her semi-punt formation you would nat- urally expect passes, punts and plays off tackle and around the end 10 be the main dependence. There is no mass of backs for plunging. Navy Fears Davis and Elkins, First Foe for Grid Campaign Spring, shows that he is not ready for active work. ‘These drawbacks have been over- come to some degree by the excellent work of a number of the old players and recruits from the plebe squad of last_season. Clifton and Lloyd, the mainstays of the attack last year, look good. and sev- eral of the less-experienced backs are doing even better than had been ex- pected of them. ‘The situatioin in the line is rapidly clearing, particularly as to the ends, where weakness was feared. Beans and Moret, change ends of last year, seem to have the edge at present, while Byng, with the plebe eleven last year, and Ricketts are pressing them hard. There are several other good end candidates. ‘The practices of the week have de- veloped the fact that the plebes, who were very strong last year, are likely to have another fine team this season, under the tutelage of Tom Hamilton. With an earlier start than the varsity by about two weeks, the plebes have a considerably greater variety of plays and appear to be in better physical condi- tion. In the two scrimmages against the varsity they have had rather the better of it, though this condition is not likely to last. Among the new varsity backs who have been doing particularly good work in practice are Kohlas, who has been on the squad one season, and Toth, Crane and McCracken, who were plebes last year. McCracken is a stocky line !l:ilfr, and the others are running acks. SANDLOT GRIDDERS DO LOT OF TOILING Sandlot foot ball squads had a busy day yesterday, many engaging in scrim- mage for the first time. Scrimmage sessions will be regular from now until the season opens and several coaches have listed drills tonight and tomorrow night. Coach Orrell Mitchell has scheduled practice sessions for his Southerns to- night, Wednesday and Friday at 7 o'clock on Hoover playgrounds. Mitchell thinks he has some classy material to work with this Fall. Northern Preps will hold a long ses- sion on Park View Playgrounds tomor- row night at 8 o'clock. Charlie Fen- wick, who is doing the coaching, gave his charges a real drilling yesterday. _ Tonk Dalglish will meet with his Na- tional Prep players Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock at his home. Plans will be made for the season. Preps plan to make thelr presence felt in- 150-pound ranks. National Press Building Cardinal players will be given uniforms Wed- nesday night at the weekly meeting. A meeting of the advisory board of the club is listed tonight at the home of But when an offensive line is grounded in sound fundamental play no mass of backs is needed to puncture the defense. 'Quick open- ings, rapid thrusts ahead of a back who need not have to worry about getting the ball and can, in con- sequence, devote his entire, atten- tion to picking the best opening and eluding defensive backs, are all that seem necessary. 8o, just when you think the Gold- en Bears are set for a wide run or pass one of the halfbacks will cata- pult himself through the line. Such a play is diagramed above. The quarter, No. 4, receives the ball from center and turns to his right, faking a pass to No. 3, who tears to the left. ‘The quarter continues his pivot and jams the ball into the belt line of back No. 2, who does not have to worry about getting it. He closes on it with both arms while driving ahead and centering his at- tention on the hole in order to break free for a gain of 5 yards or more, If lineman No. 5 can get through in time to cut down the defensive | fullback the play goes fine. The | hope is that this defensive back will | be fooled by the fake of No. 3 and | thus delayed in rushing to back up | the point of attack. Diet often siands between victory and defeat.

BIG TEN ENDS GIVEN LATITUDE IN RULING By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, September 17.—Western Conference coaches have completely changed the new rule pertaining to the shift so as to prevent offensive players | from having too much of an advantage over members of defensive elevens. At their interpretation meeting the coaches changed the rule whereby any player on the end of the line, but no other man, may move laterally but not forward without penalty. The rule, which will be invoked only in con- ference contests, does not apply to backs. ‘When the 15-vard penalty was placed on all shift plays in which players do not halt for aporoximately one second, the rules committee desired the offensive eleven should lose its momentum.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO. September 17. — Tal- ent, qualitative and quantita- tive, has rallied to the aid of Coaches John W. Wilce of Ohio State and Burt Ingwerson of Towa, who have been the ‘targets of alumni criticism for their failure to turn out winning foot ball teams during the 1927 season. Eighty candidates responded to Wilce's call, while 60 turned out at Iowa for the Initial practice of the 1928 season Saturday, and the prospects in both camps were more than bright. Dr. Wilce, who has anpounced his retirement next June to practice medi- cine. said he was going into his last season with the single interest of mak- ing it a success. “Considerable criticsm has been lev- eled at me during the past year, and this season I am going to give it every consideration as I try to whip up a winning eleven. My single interest is success, and I believe my boys are with me and have the stuff in them to win.” ‘Wilce's first move was to bar all spec- tators except newspaper men from the workouts. No reason was given for the order, which is usually withheld until late in the season or a day or two be- fore a crucial contest. The first line-up Saturday indicated the Buckeyes would have a powerful line and one of the fleetest backfields in the Big Ten. Return of Eby, Cory, Kriss, Huston and Fouch and other speedy backs: Leo Raskowski, All- American tackle in 1927, and other vet- eran linemen, have given Wilce a strong nucleus to work around. Among the Iowa candidates were 15 veterans and 28 freshmen, numeral win- ners of 1927. Coach Ingwerson’s great- est hope, however, rested on the brawny shoulders of Mayes W. McLain. Indian fullback, who piled up 253 points in 13 games at the Haskell Institute in 1926. McLain, who weighs 210 pounds and stands 6 feet 2 inches tall, is a powerful driver and a fast broken field runner. Coach Ingwerson, who has the sup- port and confidence of the athletic de- partment, has been pointing to his 1928 eleven as the answer to the criticism that broke with such fury last Winter. Morning and afternoon practice was resumed at all conference camps today. VIRGINIA TO START DEVELOPING ATTACK UNIVERSITY, Va., September 17.— |; ZUPPKE WILL SPRING MULTILATERAL PASS 1lL, September 17 the multilateral Bob Zuppke, coach of the cham- plonship University of Illinois foot ball team, has wrought the multi- lateral offense—whatever it is—to spring on elevens opposing the Illini’s path to its second conference title. But just what that offense entails Zuppke refuses to divulge. While refusing to talk at length on the Tllinols ™ gridiron prospects, Zuppke said_he would have something real to offer in new plays. D. C. PEOPLE SCORE IN RESORT SPORTS i, ‘Washingtonians scored heavily in ath- letic competition during the season nearly ended at Sherwood Forest, Md. Charles Coles of this city won the in- vitation golf tournament over E. K. Car- penter, another local entry. Lawrepce Sherfey, also of the District, defeated his twin brother, Raphael, to take the junior tennis singles title and paired the brothers won the junior doubles event. J. O. Shumate of Washington, with D. V. Owens of Baltimore, captured the mixed doubles tourney and the men’s singles winner was Henry Baggs, an- other local resident. Mrs. F. A. McNey and Mrs. S. S. Car- penter were other Washingtonians to win laurels. They were members of the Marian Hill team, which won the ladies’ bowling tournament. WORCH’S BIRD WINS LYNCHBURG FLIGHT Gloria Louise, from the loft of Lester A. Worch, yesterday led a field of 310 birds in a 150-mile race from Lynch- burg, Va., to this city, staged by the Washington Racing Pigeon Club. Lib- erated at 10:45 o'clock, Gloria Louise homed at 2:47, beating D. R. Mathews’ entry by just a little less than a minute. W. S. Hixon'’s entry was six minutes be- hind to finish third. The first return to the last loft was at 4:34 o'clock, making the difference in the homing time of the first and last lofts unusually long. Worch won the first club diploma, Mathews the nobby prize, and F. W. Heine the single nomination. Following is the average speed in yards per minute of the first return to each loft: ‘ A. Worch.. Virginia's varsity foot ball squad will |5, M. Non begin the third week of practice today by concentrating upon the plays that are to be used in the early games with Randolph-Macon, South Carolina and | ‘ot Princeton. As each day passes it becomes more clear that the success of the Cavaliers this season ,will depend in a great measure upon the reserve strength that can be developed. Capt. Luke will head one team composed almost entirely of veterans, but outside of a handful of men good substitute material is lacking. For example, Faulconer, who won his letter last Fall, is going to make a good fullback for the first team. But a sub- stitute fullback is lacking. Dick DeButts and John Janney are showing up well in their new positions. Both are heavy, and their experience in line play has made them good at block- ing and tackling. But they must learn to carry the ball. There is a similar situation in regard to ends, and Ivey, Davenpost, John- stone, Orrick and Bill Paxton have been tried as understudies to the men who were regular ends last year. ESPEY’S LAUNDRY TEAM IN NEW BASKET LEAGUE John K: Espey, who formerly attend- ed to the publicity and business details of the Washington Palace professional basket ball team, and who now is as- sistant manager of the Chevy Chase Laundry, is working on plans to repre- sent Montgomery County, Md., in the local basket ball field next Winter with a quint to be known as the’ Chevy Chase Laundry team. A league comprising eight clubs and embodying many of the most talented tossers hereabout has been proposed. The Anacostia Eagles, Jewish Com- munity Center and Knights of Colum- bus are some of the organizations heart- ily in favor of the circuit which would provide court competition not only in the District, but in Montgomery County, as Espey plans, and Hyattsville, Annap- olis and Alexandria. The Silver Spring Armory has been suggested as the site for the home games of the laundry tossers. 100-MILE AUTO EVENT IS CAPTURED BY KEECH AMATOL, N.

TEAMS URGED TO SIGN FOR NEW COURT LOOP Earle Moser, acting secretary of the proposed Washington Inter-Suburban Basket Ball League, has requested that all teams interested in securing a fran- chise get in touch with him before Sep- tember 30, in order to promote rapid organization. The only requirement is that an en- trant possess a home gymnasium, re- gardless of size and location. Moser may be reached at 816 Fifteenth street or phoned at Franklin 2947. STAHL'S HIT WINS GAME, BUT HE FRACTURES LEG ANNAPOLIS, Md. September 17— Huck Stahl, Washington boy playing with Eastport, hit for three bases yes- terday in the twelfth inning with two mates on the sacks, thereby giving his team a 7-t0-5 win over Annapolis and the champlonship of this section. Stahl's blow proved costly, however, as he fractured his right leg in sliding into third base and is confined to the local hospital. WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER. OMORROW the final junior swim at the Chevy Chase Club pool will be staged, the swim- mers taking the tank at 4 o’clock. Entry is open to any girl 18 years old and under who desires to par- ticipate. Events will include back stroke, side stroke, breast stroke and Australian srawl races; diving and life saving dem- onstrations. ‘Thursday afternoon, following the wind-up of the senior series, which has been run in,conjunction with the junior swims, the high point scorers in each class will be named and awards made. Seniors will hold their swim at 4 o'clock in the afternoon also. Katherine Armstrong of Kenilworth playground passed her tests for the sil- ver athletic badge symbolizing the sec- !ond degree of athletic efficiency on the local playgrounds last week, and has been awarded her button by the director of the ground. Bronze buttons were won last week by the following girls at Kenilworth: Rita Waskom, Helen Gibson, Mildred ‘Waskom, Eloise Lingeback. Bronze button winners on the Willow Tree and Johnson playgrounds this past week included Estelle Pendleton, Lottie Brodus, Addie Jackson, Lessie Wash- ington, Pearl Ward, Kathleen Norris and Elizabeth Freeland of Willow Tree and Josephine Martell of Johnson. Given a handicap of two points on every game, Helen Wills could be beaten at will by men of the caliber of Francis ‘T. Hunter or George Lott, according to William T. Tilden, 2d, in an article appearing in the October issue of Plain Talk. ‘The woman's game is not in the same class with the , according to him. And he is right. No matter how much power, court craftsmanship, subtle strategy or what not a woman might command, there is still that difference of physique which, makes it impos- sible for her to cgmpete on an even footing with men’'of her own caliber. Her strength will not permit of the speed required to beat the pest of man players. Her build will not permit of the court covering necessary to superi- ority over them. She may cover court amazingly well, but not well enough to check the volleying or net attack that a man like Hunter can uncork. Nor can she control their speeding drives sufficiently to drive her male opponents to the corners and thus make con- sistent openings for her own net ad- | margin. vance. Comparing men and women's tennis “would be like attempting to compare Wagner’s operas to musical comedy,” says Tilden. “Each has its class and place and one need not have any in- fluence on the other, although both are music. Hunter and Lott could give two points each game to either Miss Wills or Mrs. Mallory and beat them as they pleased. This is not said w detract from the ability of the women. So far as their game goes in its class, they are just as great artists as Hunter or Lott, but the physical limitations of height, weight, speed of foot and bodily structure prohibit women ever attain- ing a skill equal'to men in tennis.” Continuing his discussion on women's tennis, Tilden says some very interest- ing things about the relative ability of Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills. “An interesting question of a few years ago,” he writes, “was the relative ability of Helen Wills and Suzanne Lenglen. I am forced to admit that un- til her retirement from amateur tennis, Mlle. Lenglen was supreme among women. Miss Wills is a marvelous play- er of great power and stamina, yet even her marvelous force could not quite overcome the machine-like perfection and subtle court craft of the famous French girl. Suzanne Lenglen by her victory over Helen Wills on the Riviera several years ago stood forth unchal- lenged as champion of the world. She played, she won and to her went all the credit for a splendid victory. But Helen Wills, by her magnificent defense and sturdy opposition to Lenglen, proved that there is but a single step in the future between her own and the ckiil of her French rival.” I MONDAY.

Scores of the opening matches indi- cated that close races may be expected this season. Results and team standings of these two leagues follow: AGRICULTURE INTERBUREAU LEAGUE. Team Standing. W, Shops . Plant . Interbuteaus Blister Rust Economic . Accounts .. Central Sto Kems . High team set —Plant Bureau, 1.587. L e et 382, ndividual s ., 352 Hikh {ndividual kame—F. Donaldson, 149. Shops team, cellar champs last sea- son, inaugurated the 1928-29 season by demolishing Joe McKericher’s So- Kems shock troops, taking all three games and mounting to the top of the ladder. Lyons and Costello did the best bowling for the Shops team. while Moeller's set of 326 was high mark for the So-Kems. Plant Bureau, by taking two of three games from the last year's champion Economics five, succeeded in one night in winning as many games as they took from the Economic bowlers the entire 1927-28 season. Mike Gorman’s work featured for Plant. He compiled a set of 352 which included six strikes. Rose at anchor for the winners gave a re- markable exhibition of sharpshooting but low counts on his marks kept his set to 321. Hevener and Dixon led the Economics team with counts of 330 and 329. Accounts and Interbureau staged a hot match and tied on total pinfall, each team registering a set of 1,507; but the Ints managed to take two of the three games. Tucker was the star performer for the Interbureaus, while Ruppert and Raake both topped the 300 mark for Accounts. Blister Rust succeeded in taking the Central Stores outfit for two of the three games, after the latter team had won the first contest on the strength of an opening game of 149 registered by Frank Donaldson. Frank, incident- ally, had the best set registered by the two outfits, 344. Hopkins and Moller led the Blister Rust team, a final box rally by Hopkins, when he picked up 19 pins in his ninth and tenth frames, gave his team a victory by a 12-pin REALTORS' LEAGUE.

ARTILLERY POLO TEAM LOSES ON FREAK PLAY BALTIMORE, September 17.—The 16th Field Artillery polo team of Fort Myer, Va., lost an overtime 9-8 battle yesterday to Maryland Polo Club here through a freak shot, coming when the willow glanced from the mallet of Lieut. R. B. Bosserman, playing back for the Artillerymen, and rolled between his own goal posts. It was a real battle all the way with,| the Marylanders scoring two goals in the sixth chiikker to even the scope and make the extra period necessary. PO SPORTS Goss Gives Lesson On Concentration PAR LT = BY SOL METZG! My golf was unusually poor the other day when playing a round with Arthur Goss, professional at the Everglades Club of Palm Beach and of the Bedford Springs course during the Summer. Arthur knows his onions about the game and is a splendid instructor. Going to the eighteenth tee he told me I was not concentrating. The question arose as to a cure for a lack of concentration. “I'll tell one way,” he said. “Take your stance for every shot on this hole and just before starting the club back close your eyes and keep them closed all through the shot.” I imagined he was kidding me. But it was a novel idea and I tested it. My drive was the longest and straightest T had made that day. My mashie-niblic pitch of 50 yards to a green on a cliff 20 feet above the level of the fairway was 10 feet from home and my putt stop- ped 6 inches to the left of the pin on a steep sloping green. The sec- ond putt fell in. A par 4 resulted. If you can't get your mind on your :hots try the stunt. You can- not do anything but concentrate upon hitting the ball. When you do that you-hit it correctly and you give it quite a ride as a result. Furthermore, it straightened out my game. The next day ] played a bet- ter round than I had in several months. The commonest of all faults of the average golfer is slicing. Sol Metzger has analyzed these faults and sug- gests ways of curing the habit in a fine illustrated leaflet.

NEW YORK, September 17.—Johnny Farrell and Walter Hagen were all square today in their series of five matches for the “unofficial wdrld golf championship.” Farrell, holder of the national open champlonship, defeated “Sir Walter,” the British open titleholder, in the fourth 36-hole encounter at the Siwanoy Country Club yesterday 1 up, and thereby evened the series at two vic- tories aplece. Hagen won the first two matches, at Detroit and Chicago, while Farrell took the third, at Philadelphia. The fifth and deciding match now is to be staged, although the date and scene have not yet been selected. Hagen lost his chance to capture the title without the necessity of another mat-h by running into difficulties on the inst five holes. Hagen jumped into the lead on the first hole of the morning round and never was down until the thirty-fifth in the afternoon. He was 2 up at the end of the first 9, 1 up at the end of 18 and 2 up after 27 had been played. and only twice during that time could Farrell square the match. After taking the thirty-first, to be 2 up, Hagen took a 6 on the thirty- second and a 5 on the thirty-third, while Farrell was down in 4 on both. ‘That squared the match. A 4 on the thirty-fifth made Farrell dormie 1, the first time he had been in the lead. The match ended at the home hole, which was halved in 5s. Each scored 72s in the morning round, one over par, but Hagen took a 77 in the afternoon to 73 for the national open champion. 19: COCHET 15 PICKED T0 DOWN HUNTER ;Frenchman Is Seen as Too | Steady for Yankee in Tennis Final. September Francis T. Hunter tween France an: t victory in Jnited States national si tennis champlonship. The New Rochelle newspaper pub- lisher, Davis Cup veteran and No. 2 in the national ranking meets Henri | Cochet, ace of the invadi French forces, in the final r 1t is the first time either has been a finalist in this tournament In Paris odds of two and three to one are being offered that Cochet will | succeed Rene Lacoste as American champion. Over here the odds are shorter, but Cochet is none the less a decided favorite, Against the Frenchman'’s brilliant all- around game Hunter must depend largely upon his tremendously powerful forehand drive, backed up by the ade- quate but far-from-pertect fo Tt game he displayed during the past week. Hunter already has played the part of a giant-killer in the curren urna< ment, defeating Jean Borotra and George Lott, third-ranking players of France and America, and his supporters are hoping he will repeat the role to- day. But even the opli are doubtful whether a player of H s somewhat limited stroke equipmen defeat Cochet, whose mastery of stro and court generalship approaches per= fection. Against Lott in the semi-finals on Saturday, Hunter won by combining his regular game with his new-found ability to volley and play the center court. The stocky New Rochelle star covered the court well and sent over his sizzling placements from the net as well as the base He forced his opponent into errors at the driving game and held him in check when Tott tried to draw him-.away from his favorite position. g 5 Cochet, however, has the steadiness and sustained ability that is lacking in the young Chicagoan, able to beat the world’s best players on one of his good days. Lott is subject to lapses when he can be cut down by players la g | his capabilities, and the steady Hunter never failed to take advantage of these brief spells of peor play. The French star is at his best when he has to pull himself out of a hole, &s he demonstrated against Frank Shields in the other semi-finals when he won the second set from the youthful New Yorker after losing five successive games. Hunter certainly has a chance, but it is scarcely more than a slim one. MAY PERMIT GIRLS IN TITLE GOLF PLAY By the Associated Press.

RICHARDS AND KOZELUH TO PLAY NEXT SUNDAY NEW YORK, September 17 (#).—In the first step of his campaign to popu- larize professional tennis in Americs, Vincent Richards, former ranking ama- teur star, will meet Karel Kozeluh of Czechoslovakia in a match here next Sunday. Kozeluh, the professional champion {of Europe, recently defeated Richards |in two similar matches on European courts How he turned my failure into success “'B.O."—my trouble? For a moment 1 saw red. . But Atkinson was a decent sort and I knew he was talking for my own good. Besides, I was slipping. 1 worked like blazes. I had plenty of good leads—but no orders. It just seemed that every time I called and had a prospect warmed up, he'd suddenly lose interest and want to be rid of me. It had me worried. But I never suspected the truth until Atkinson tipped me oft. Today I'm not handi- u;p:d by “B.O."—you know, Bady Odbor. Let me tell you the little secret that changed my whole future and helped me win success. No fear of *B.O.” now Like every normal, healthy person, 1 perspire. But I never noticed any unpleasant odor about me, so I just assumed I was all right. That's where I was fooled. When we get used to an odor, we don't detect it. Unknowingly, I id offend. But since I've changed to Life- buoy, I've said goodbye to "B.O.” worries for fiood. A Lifebuoy bath certainly makes me feel clean and fresh. Its antiseptic lather deodorizes pores. And now that I've gotten rid of “B.0.", I'm getting ahead faster than ever. Great for skin, too! 1 like the way Lifebuoy lathers and keeps the skin so nice and smooth.
