SPORTS MUCH 15 EXPECTED OF NEW MATERIAL Meehan Again to Build His Offensive Around One Star Ball-Toter. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. Fielding Yost has pointed cut that a star on a freshman team does not of necessity make good varsity material, any more than a fine minor leaguer is a sure bet for the majors. Nevertheless, several universities are counting largely on men who played freshman foot ball last year. Especially is this true at universities which had freshman teams above the average, such as Harvard, Michigan, Yale, Dartmouth ' and others, Michigan, for example, has a big, new sophomore fullback; Dartmouth has a whaling guard; Yale has a halfback, who played quarter on last year's fresh- man team; Harvard has.a back and a lineman. From each of these much is expected, and the situation is the same at many colleges. There seems to be no reason why Princeton should not have a grand team. The Tigers can show a fine bunch of line material, which is largely the answer to a successful season. Many a coach would like to have such tackles as Barfleld, Whyte, Hockenbury and Libby, and backs on the order of Wittmer, Bennett, Lowery, Muldar and Rein- mund will not be any handicap. At New York University, Chick Mee- han appears to be sticking to his suc- cessful system of training one man to rTun with the ball and another man to clear the way for him. Not that the other backs are not hard at work, both in ball toting and inter- ference, but Meehan likes to get not one but two backs up to the line of scrim- mage, using the leading man as a shield, steam roller, .or whatever you wish to call him. This was the manner in which Grange and Britten used to operate at Illinois, and it was the way Strong and Hill operated at New York. In order to 2t a great interferer—the greatest we ever saw was Tack Hardwick of Har- vard—Meehan has even experimented \'\;:tehlraking :w{firs‘ ; star guard, out of he line, but the chances are tl will put him back. e Tl’:ey learned at Minnesota that it didn’t pay to make a fair back out of a star lineman. With Myers in his i\:aturll W!lg:og, New York will have a m on which opponents mighty hard to SC‘(’)IPQ. v If the other team can't score, the worst you can get is a tie. Princeton won a lot of games on that theory a few years ago, but now the Tigers have developed a smashing, ripping attack. One of the finest exhibitions of inter- feren.ce, blocking and opening up a rival's defense was given last season by Stanford against the Army. Glenn Warner had some great backs on that team he coached, but he also had such powerful linemen that there were times when the Earl of Dorrincourt on his goutiest day could have carried the ball quite a distance without tripping over anything. Even the best tacklers rarely dé” their finest work while balanced on th_e‘!; ear. i ey certainly grow large young men on the Pacific Coast. Several of the Coast elevens will be seen in the East this season and it should be possible to sight fl'l:ll:l as ém‘;:das the L;lles&,playm among them up an ke their adaeave s Rooktes, T Not that the East is a pigmy country. Clarke of Harvard, and Lassman of New ‘York University were not exactly dwarfs and neither were a number of players you could name. But most of these giants were con- fined to the line. Stanford had a quar- terback who could have shaken hands with an admirer leaning out of tke top window of the Washington Monu- ment. And he was some quarterback. They appear, by the way, to have made a quarterback out of Marsters at Dartmouth. Give that@oy a line that will hold long enough for him to get started add a few brother backs who can start him down the side line with a bit of leeway, and he is likely to do some considerable running. I never saw many men who liked sideline running better than Marsters That is where Elmer Oliphant used to like to scurry. (Copsright, 1929, by North American News- paper Alliance.) MRS.

Tilden, 2d, appealed Tm: increasing roughness of the tennis galleries is becoming a to the president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association at Forest Hills to protect him from the vociferous vocal hostility of the gallery during the match nounced that if he could not have would leave the place flat. There have been other and are losing their restraint and nis gallery. I recall that at one Miss Helen Wills was a little some béoing, the first booing that ‘Then, again, at the Germantown tournament, where the United States team lost the Davis Cup in one of the most dramatic shows ever produced by this sport, the gallery had to be ap- pealed to more than once, especially in that cruclal game between Tilden and Lacoste. “Please do not applaud er- rors,” the gallery was asked. But the atmosphere was too tense. The gallery compromised by not applauding the errors of the American players. There are those who intimate that Mr. Tilden, always theatrical, has a way of irritating or exciting galleries. But the tradition of this sport is that a gallery at a tennis tournament never should become irritated or excited to the extent that it makes vocal demon- strations during the progress of 8 match. No amount of repression is supj to make ' a tennis gallery explode. = Something must be done to stop this trend or the gallery at some of these tennis tournaments will be- come as demonstrative as the occu- pants of the stands and bleachers in a national time. We may be reading some day that in-the course of a match at Forest Mills there was a shower of pop botties thrown into the courts and that a linesman was beaned and the referee chased to the exit. It might come to pass. The trend is that way. At the professional sports the crowds are unrepressed. They figure that pay- ing the price of admission carries with it the privilege of commenting ad lib., either favorably or unfavorably, and, of course, the unfavorable comment is the more vociferous. Professional athletes become accus- tomed to the roar of the multitude. Some of our prizefighters would be s0 astonished by a quiet arena that they might not be able to fight. The shrieks of the crowds do not disturb the con- centration of the base ball players. Babe Ruth probably would not be able to get his eye on the ball unless there was & tl]m;ult while he was standing at the plate. And yet Mr. Ruth is disturbed by infavorable comment as was Mr. illiam T. Tilden, 2d. I recall that when Mr. Ruth was in a bad slump sbme time ago the crowd was “on him,” as the boys say. It caused him to brood when there was no longer the wild enthusiasm when he came to the plate. The jeers became quite audible in the comparative quiet that comes with apathy. On day as Ruth came to the plate a shrill voice shouted, “Ya big bum, ya!” Mr. Ruth dropped his bat and started into the stands after his tormentor, who dashed out of the park so rapidly that he shed one of his shoes en route. It would be most distressing if the Forest Hills gallery should annoy Mr. Tilden to such an extent that he would dash-into the stands to bean somebody with a racquet. Cheering on the Links. N advance of the last amateur golf tournament it was announced that extra precautions would be made to keep the gallery quiet during the crucial moments, which are very frequent. This drew a protest from one of my corre- spondents, who evidently has no regard for that ancient geme. He pointed out that the gallery was to be charged admission. He derided the golfers who demanded the consider- ation of silence while addressing the ball. He did not see why they could not become accustomed to the roar of the multitude, as can boxers; base ball and foot ball players. Perhaps he was looking forward to the time when each golfer in a tournament would be accompanied by his band and cheering section. the course of his play Bobby Jones would be accompanied by a 30-piece band, which would march with him between ths holes, playing “Dixie” l’nd other appropriate and inspiring airs, On the ens the Jones' cheering section would gather behind their hero and shout in cadence as Jones ad- dressed the ball, “Sink that putt! Sink that putt!” Von Elm is a Californian. It would add color to the scene, and excitement, too, if he had his cheering section and band. When Von Elm stepped up to tee off the band weuld burst into the inspiring music tl was heard when McAdoo was placed in nomination at a 0000000000600 006 0000600000000 00 ne 909006 The S yles Are A little more Modern A little more Exclusive A little more Authentic late in coming into the court, there was with young Mr. Shields.

G. A. might experiment with the idea in the spirit of trylng anything once. * Infuriated Chess Fans. Tml is one relief in this period of increasing “rowdiness” in the gal- all sports, amateur and profes- sional. The gallery at chess tourna- ments still retains its splendid restraint, and the dignified a here seldom marred hy comment, favorable or un- favorable. From what I read of the great tournament at Budapest there have been no demonstrations of an un- seemly nature, even though it is an international affair. But all of this may change. The world of sport es less and less re- strained. One of these days a cable re- garding a chess match may read, “Cali- fornia, Here I Come!” “In the match between Vajda of Bosch of Czecho- an unseemly demonstration from the gallery. It seems that some of the fans ob- jected to the manner in which Bosch handled the Ruy Lopez. There was & storm of booing and in the confusion three steins were thrown ‘directly into the chess board upset- ting all the pleces. “The scenes that followed were rem- iniscent of those that transpired when the crowd broke up the chess match between Alekhine and Bogoljubow, when Alekhine's queen was knocked out of his hand, just as he was about t make the move to checkmate Bogolju- bow, by a beer bottle hurled by an in- furiated fan. “The League of Natioris is considering 2 movement to put an end to these in- ternational matches because of the in- stincts of brutality they rouse in the players and the fans.” [GIRL TENNIS VICTOR ELIGIBLE FOR 1930 Esther Jolley of McKinley High School, newly crowned 1929 District of Columbia junior tennis champion, will be eligible to defend her title next year as she celebrates her eighteenth birth- day after January 1, 1930. Loveye Ad- kins, runner-up in the lfruelln( duel which crowned Miss Jolley yesterday on the Edgemoor Club courts, is also eligible for another year’s competition. So a great battle is anticipated when these two meet in their final stand for Jjunior honors. Miss Jolley won over Miss Adkins yesterday only after the match had been carried to three sets and.the third set had been reduced several times—the final score being 4—6, 6—3, 9—7. Miss Adkins won the opening brace amd in the third stood withid three ity of match at #-4, 15 all. But ,m as near as she got to clal \ crown. Miss Jolliey battled her “way to even terms and, after each had won her service twice in succession,” the champ broke through her opponent’s delivery to gain an 8-7 edge, whicl she increased 'by lnne):mgha own service, sul itly to it final. Consistent overhead work at the g:t few of the seasoned players have com- mand in-the forecourt, but none of them can display an aggressive net to excel that of the two top- shooting juniors. In addition to annexing the singles crown, Miss Jolley shares in doubles honors, won with Goldie Crist as her rtner. Miss Adkins and Ellen Burn- am, Garfleld Playground team, are the doubles runners-up. ALEKHINE WINS MATCH. ‘WIESBADEN, September 20 (#).— Dr. Alexander Alekhine defeated E.

There are two so-called blapket shanges particularly important in effect. Under the present rules it is virtually impossible for the defensive team to advance the ball except after the inter- ception of a forward pass and after catching g’unu. A ball which has been fumbled and recovered by the defensive team after is dead at the point of recovery. of the ball is given to the defensive team which recovers a fumble, but the ball cannot be advanced. Majority Like It. Many believe that this change has detracted from the game, in that the unexpected spectacular run for touch- down by a defensive player after re- covery of a fumble is no longer per- mitted. The majority of coaches, how- ever, favored the change. Many games have been lost, particularly some consplcuous ones during the 1928 sea- son, by stronger teams to substantially weaker elevens because of a touchdown after recovery of a fumble. Another result of changes in the rules .makes it impossible for a kick- ing team to advance the ball after recovery. This applies, under the let- ters of the rules, to kick-offs. The ad- vantage of the carefully planned kick- off for recovery and run is, therefore, eliminated so far as any run after re- covery is concerned. It has been pointed out by some that the offensive’team which fumbles may recover and advance the ball. This has always been the rule, and it is apparently not the intention of the committee to change it. Prevents Pass Interference. Hergtofore the rules have been some- what indefinite with respect to what constituted interference by the offen- sive melm' I::del’ a Im;vlrd pm.w'flxi urpose of the screened pass was to_get Elellzlble offensive men down the field to be in the way of the defensive team in its attempt to intercept the forward The new rules now make it clear that members of the passing team who are ineligible to recelve a pass must clearly out of the way of opponents. Therefore, officials who are at all alert will be quick to penalize interference which was possible under the screened There is nothing, however, in these changes, which bring about any fundamental changes in tactics or strategy.
