Eastern Gains Its Second Major Title of Year When It SCORES 50 POINTS 10 BEAT TECK'S 48 First and Second Place in Javelin, Closing Event, Decides Issue. ) | | | | | i T has not been at all a bad vear athletically for Eastern High. The Lincoln Parkers vesterday won their second major championship of the school Year when for the first time in Eastern's history they captured the Spring track meet, triumph- ing over Tech in dramatic style Eastern scored 50 points against 43 for Tech and 24 for Central Business and Western did not score. Eastern's victory put the Light Blue and White even with Tech for the season, each having an- nexed two titles in ranking sports. Eastern also recently vanquished Tech in base ball. Tech won the foot ball and basket ball crown: In conquering Tech in the meet yes terday Eastern defeated a team .which had won the affair for the past five vears. Victory came to the Lincoln Parkers when Conrad Allison and Ev- erett Oxley finished first and second. respectively, in the javelin throw, the last event on the program Entering the javelin leading by 6 points, Tech had high hopes of another championshi). but neither the McKin- ley nor the Central entrants in this meet could prevent Eastern from gath- ering its vital 8 points, Jake Edwards of Tech and Grover Fverett and Frank Miles of Eastern were the outstanding performers. Ed- wards came through to win four events the 100, 220 and 440 vard dashes and the shotput, to take individual scoring honors with 20 points. Everett, slim 16-year-old sophomore, gained first place | in the 120-yard high and 220-yard low | hurdle races and second in the broad | jump, while Miles had the distinction of shattering the only record broken | when he covered the mile in 4 minutes 40 2-5 seconds.

ILLINOIS NINE AIMS TO HALT MICHIGA By the Associnted Prars. CHICAGO, May 25.—Illinois' hard luck base ball team was out to do to- day what no other team in the Big Ten has been able to accomplish—defeat Michigan. The Wolverines were at the peak of the conference. today, undefeated in five games and apparently certain of a second title. Ray Fisher's men yester- day thumped lowa farther into the middle of the standings by squeezing out a 2-to-1 victory at Towa City. For- rest Twogood held the Wolverines to five hits. but bunched hits and a wild pitch aided Michigan to the winning Tun. Wisconsin was safely located in sec- ond position with a record of six won and two lost, following a 4-t0-0 win over Northwestern yesterday. Indiana took the Hoosier crown by whipping Purdue, 5 to 1. in 10 bitter innings. The game was scoreless until the over- time session. Chicago invaded Jowa today for the only other game on the Big Ten siate, BETHESDA PILOT SOUGHT. The manager of the Bethesda A. C. nine is asked to call Lincoln 3370-W between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. to make final arrangements for the game Sun- day between Phoenix A.

IS THERE NOTHING ELSE FoR HIM To PLAY WITH P MADE HISTORY BY WINNING HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TITLE s e THE SPORTLIGHT y GRANTLAND RICE It Doesn’'t Always Follow. HERE are bound to be better [0 fighters today than ever be- fore.” a spectafor writes in, “because there is so much ! more money to be made in | the game. And higher pay always means a better piece of work, no mat- ter what the line.” Yes, Homer had to beg his way most of the time, so consider what a botch he made of the Tliad and the Odyssey, because there was little money in either. Keats and Shelley probably made $100 a month from their verse, which accounts for the poor quality of “Ode to a Nightingale” and “Ode to the West Wind." Beethoven drew something like $12 for one of his best symphonies, which explains why mod- ern song writers, some of them making $1,000 or $2.000 a week. stand so much higher in the musical scale. What a lot’ of money has done to most of the fighters has been to make them quit fighting. | Cornell and Poughkeepsie. EAR MR. RICE: Would a word from a chap who has sat in racing shells on both the Charles River and Carnegie Lake be of interest? As you may have guessed from the introduction, I'm a Cornell man. Years ago I learned rowing from the past master of all—the Old Man. Then I coached a crew which made a mark | on the Schuylkill which has yet to be | beaten or equaled. On top of that, I've covered sport events of all kinds, and my copy has appeared many times in the Herald-Tribune, as well as other New York, Chicago. Philadelphia and Boston newspapers. There are many in- cidents where T know from experience that comparative times and scores mean | about as mauch as what a doughnut surrounds. But to get down to brass tacks and to be reallv fair, your column on Sunday declared that Columbia seemed to be about all that stands in the way of California. Columbia has a fine crew and a wonderful coach—all credit to both. But— rowing over a Charles River course when the going is tough is & whole ot harder than anything Carnegie Lake can show. On_ Saturday Columbia rowed one nd three-quarter miles at Princeton in 4! which is good going. The seme day. on a worse course, Cornell turned the same distance in 9:20 3-5, according to vour news columns. Does | that difference of 1 minute and 24 sec- | onds mean anything? Wait until thev fire the bembs at Poughkeepsie. We'll | both know more about it then, but it | looks now as if at least two of the old guard of the rowing association will be in there upholding the reputation of the big classic at Poughkeepsie. B. L. CRANDALL. Nothing would look like old days more than to see Cornell come back on the | water and take away another intercol- | leginte at Franklin Pleld. No univer- | sity in the country suffers a greater ath- letic handicap than Cornell from swi- dent work that leaves but little spare time for sport. It is doubtful if any universit; had such a combination working | gether as Courtney and Moakley in| ! their prime. ,DoN'T " TAKE on 50!

Illinois was expected to collect a big share of the points in the half-mile, mile and two-mile runs, although Mar- tin of Purdue appeared to be the pick | of the 880 men.

PITT of Manor now has won two tournaments in & row. and apparently is headed toward the same winning streak he uncovered last vear.! Whatever reason there may have been for Page Hufty's let-down in the final round of the Indian Spring tourna- ment yesterday. the fact remains that Pitt stuck to his knitting when the go- ing was toughest, and when Hufty faltered, the Manorite stepped in to push home the winning shot. Hufty had beaten Leroud Sasscer of Indian Spring by 5 and 4 to go into the semi-final, while Pitt had taken the measure of Charles W. Cole, jr., of Indian Spring to win his penultimate round. In the final round the match was all{ Hufty for the first six holes, for Pitt was wild as a hawk from the tee and was unable to push home those shots from the rough that had gained him victory in the morning, when he | romped over the first nine holes in 35| strokes. Hufty won the first two holes with 4s, halved the third when he lald | Pitt a’ stymie and won the fourth. The fifth was halved when Pitt topped I his second shot and Hufty overap- proached, and Pitt secured his first par | of the round to halve the short sixth Pitt won the seventh and eighth when Hufty missed wooden club shots, and Hufty won the ninth after Pitt had ! sliced to a trap. But Pitt took 3 putts on the tenth green to go 3 down again, and when he topped his tee shot {at the eleventh it looked as if Hufty was to gain another hole. But_here Pitt rammed home a long jron shot, while Hufty retaliated with a gallant effort that ran 3 feet past | the pin. Pitt then sank a 20-foot| | putt around a partial stymie for the | half in, 3. The twelfth was halved | !in par 4s and Pitt was 3 down with | 6 to go. And here, without any warn- | ing and with dramatic suddenness. | | Hufty's game eracked. just as it did | | three years ago in the same position | | against George Voigt in the final round of an Indian Spring tourney. | The Congressional champion took three putts on the thirteenth to lose the | hole and Pitt. then won four holes in a row—all in parz-—to put, the match on ice. | For some unexplainable reason Hufty was not. able to secure a par from the ! twelfth hole to the end of the match. | His tee shot to_the short fourteenth was pushed and Pitt won the hole with a par 3. Hufty missed his approach | | shot at the long fifteenth, enabling Pitt to win the hole with a par 5, even though he was in the rough from the tee and still in the rough after the sec- | ond shot. Hufty was in the rough all the way i to the sixteenth green and Pitt won the hole with a par 5. That left Pitt ' 1 up with 2 to go, and he pushed home | the shot that won the match when he | lald a long iron shot 25 feet past the pin_ at the seventeenth, where Hufty padly sliced his spoon tee shot. Hufty played into a trap at the right of the green. accidently grounded his ‘club and picked up his ball, giving Pitt the hole and match 2 and 1. There must have been some reason for the cracking of Hufty's game, but whatever it was. there was a complete collapse. We know the lad had & bad headache all day. but up to the twelfth he was playing’ fine winning golf and looked like a sure victor. Then sud- denly he cracked and lost a shot at each hole to the end. Pitt made a HE LINE WITH W. 0. McGLZHAN. t An Unhealthy Sport.

Susan Hacker won the French High Commission Cup for women yestercav at the Chevy Chase Club. defeating Mrs. Harrison Brand, jr. in the final round. 2 up. Miss Hacker conceded Mrs. Brand seven strokes in the final round and was 1 up going to the last hole, which she won. Hudson Gruenewald. a guest of Vie- tor Kauffmann at the Chevy Chase Club yesterday, killed a rabbit with his tee shot on the fourth hole. Just as Gruenewald hit his tee shot on this short hole a rabbit popped out of the grass and the ball, struck low, hit the bunny on the head and killed it. Teeing Off Left Heel Is Mistake BY SOL METZGER. One gains no inside information as to where to tee his ball by watch- ing the stars. Jones plays his off his left instep, Barnes off his left heel, others more toward the right foot. The off-the-left-heel theory is wrong. Take Hagen, with his wide stance, and Jonse with his narrow one. Were each to play the drive off their left heel. Hagen would be meeting the ball as his clibhead was rising. Jones at the lowest point of the arc of his swing. This lowest point of the arc of one's swing is just out from the left JOHES® STANCE FOR wWooD 0 7 =) BALL OFF LEF{ | ] [ INGTED, \Y ) USED 1O\ \ A oo d, Limeee B ~<®o @0 PolI1IOM BALL WAS HIT ON DOWNSWING AND SOMETIMES SMOTHERED shoulder.
