BY VINCENT RICHARDS. HE first open tennis championship in the history of the game will be held in Australia during the month of January. This statement will surprise the tennis world. For some time the Australian Lawn Tennis Association has been nego- tiating with Karel Kozeluh and me to tour that country during Jan- uary and February. Following the successful completion of these negotiations comes the announcement that the association plans to hold an open championship while we are there so that the amateurs and professionals can match their skill in competitive play. Just who among the amateur stars will be invited to compete is not known, but it would not be at all surprising if such well known players as Cochet, Borotra, Lacoste, Tilden, Van Ryn and other out- standing amateur court figures will be on hand to compete in this memorable tournament. 5 ‘Unquestionably, the Australian’ association also will endeavor to have most of the leading profes- sionals take part. Kozeluh and 1 will be there on tour, and more than likely such well known pros Practicing on Snow-Covered as Howard Kinsey, Harvey Snod- grass, Njuch, the Burke brothers, Rammillion, Richter, as well as a number of other European pros, will make the long journey to compete in this first open tennis championship. he example of the Australian asso- l‘l;{flon in h%ld\ng such an event un- doubtedly will be followed by every other country in the world during the season of 1930. England has already announced plans for an open championship next Sum- mer and there has been considerable talk here of holding a similar event at the West Side Tennis Club in 1930, although nothing definite has been an- nounced by either the amateur associa- tion or the professional organization.

BY J. H. ANDERSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. ANSAS CITY, November 22 (#).—Sub-treezing temperatures and snow-covered gridirons may be the lot of Big Six gridsters tomorrow unless a drastic mod- eration occurs in the weather. As a cold wave swept into the Mis- souri Valley from the North and West, faithful foot ball fans recalled the 1923 Kansas-Missourl game, which was played at Lawrence on a snow-covered field, and the Nebraska-Kansas Aggie game last year in Lincoln played in a snowstorm, and wondered if similar con- ditions were to mar this year’s contests. ‘The weather threat not only worried those who plan to attend the Kansas- Missouri game in Lawrence, and the Nebraska-Aggie struggle in Manhattan, but brought a thought of overcoats and galoshes as far South as Norman, Okla., where the Sooners tackle Oklahoma tremendous help to the game in every A S lawn-tennis-playing country in the ‘world. It will answer the long-drawn-out argument that tennis followers have been having for the last four years: whether or not such players as Karel Kozeluh, Kinsey, Snodgrass, the Bure brothers and some of the other pro- fessionals can take the measure of men lke Cochet, Tilden, Lacoste, Borotra and other famous amateur stars. From all accounts, the Australian association intends to run its first open championship along the same lines as the golf championships, where the professional, if he wins, receives a monetary prize and the amateur the customary silver cup. This does not in any way impair the standing of the amateur, Will Take Year to Settle. The most important thing in con- nection with the holding of an open event is the tremendous changes that will have to be made in the schedule of tournament play. 'Zach country has & regular list of tournaments through- out the Summer, which means that the open tournament must be sandwiched in-between. I think this will cause much con- fusion during the first year of open champlonships, since the tournament schedules are already pretty well filled up. However, these details can un- doubtedly be ironed out in the course of a year's time, and the tremendous interest that will be immediately manifested in open tournament play will more than repay those who are responsible for this drastic change in the game. It is my contention that the minute open ‘ournaments become a permanent fixture in the game lawn tennis will take its place in the sun of sport. In this country it will add just the im- petus that has been sadly lacking in the game since the Davis Cup left these shores in 1927.

ALBAN’S SCHOOL St. Alban's School is now looking around for a coach to handle aspirants for boxing and wrestling honors at the school. It is hoped to begin work in these sports soon and candidates for basket ball also are to begin preparation shortly. Drafting of a schedule foi basket brll now is under wa: Iowa State alone was unworried by the weather, as the Cyclones are idle this week. The last hard workouts for the week end games were finished yesterday. Unless a miracle occurs, Clair Sloan, the Nebraska backfield ace, will not play against the Kansas Aggies. There still is doubt whether Capt. John Waldorf will lead Missouri or the powerful Jim Bausch compete for Kansas. Injuries have struck down these three backs when they were most needed. Kansas Aggles and Oklahoma appar- ently will have all their regulars fit. The games at Norman and Lawrence will be more in the nature of traditional struggles than the Aggie-Nebraska game, but the latter is the most important from a titular standpoint, as the Aggies can cinch the Big Six title by a victory over the 1928 champions, who have not ylet lost in the conference. MRS. ALLEN IS WINNER OF A-N-M GOLF EVENT Mrs. Harvey Allen won the weekly handicap golf tournament at Army, Navy and Marine Corps Club yesterday with & net 44. Mrs. G. W. Thompson's net 45 won runner-up honors. Mrs. B, T. Merchant, Army, has been re-elected general chairman of the woman’'s committee of the club. Mrs. W. A. Angwin, Navy, received the vice chairmanship and also chairmanship of the golf committee. Mrs. R. R. Glass, Army, will serve as head of the house committee; Mrs. E. Coxe, Navy, as Navy team captain, and Mrs. R. T. Phinney has been re-elected secretary and treasurer. RIVALS IN GRID BATTLE COME FROM SAME TOWN | CHAPEL HILL, N.

George Taylor, Virginia center, and Ned Lipscomb, Tar Heel pivot man, oddly enough, both hail from Greens- boro. Both men rate among the South's best centers, and to make it even more interesting, they are just about the same size, both standing slightly over ]fl !:et. Lipscomb weighing 182, Tay- lor 185.

HICAGO, November 22, — Big Ten foot ball will close one of its most sensational seasons to- morrow with three inter-league games and two contests involv- ing teams from outside the conference. Purdue, rated in September as just a good team, wrecked the dope and won its first Big Ten title, and will close its season against its old rival, Indiana, tomorrow at Bloomington. Indiana, defeated by Colgate, Chicago and Minnesota and tied by Ohio State, hardly ranks as equal to the job of trip- ing the championship Purdue eleven, Bitbatter last week's upset triumph over Northwestern, may have enough punch to make one scratch on the Boller- makers' slate. g The only game involving important position in conference standings will be played at Columbus, Ohio, where Ohio State and Illinois, tied for second place, will meet. Each team has two victories, one defeat and a_tie. At Ann Arbor, Jowa will make its last stand of the season against Michigan's improved Wolverines. Losing their opening game to Ohio State, Towa never was any more than just in the race, but managed to ruin Minnesota's chances for a share in the title. Iowa also gave Purdue iis closest battle of the season, succumbing, 7 to 0, last Saturday. Michigan started poorly but got going in time to defeat Harvard and Minnesota. Just Another Game. ‘Wisconsin and Minnesota will fight out their ancient rivalry at Minnesota with nothing at stake except the result of the game itself. Wisconsin never was in the battle for the title, and what Jowa started two weeks ago by dropping Minnesota was finished last Saturday by Michigan. ‘The big attraction of the day will be at Evanston, where Northwestern takes on Notre Dame's great eleven. The Wildcats have not beaten a Rockne team in recent seasons, but always have managed to give the Ramblers plenty of trouble. They hope to be the team that spoils Notre Dame's perfect record. A capacity crowd of 50,000 will witness the struggle. Stagg Field at Chicago will provide the intersectional game of the schedule when Chicago meets the University of Washington eleven. The Huskies have one of the biggest teams in the coun- try, and in their last two battles fought Stanford and California to the limit, only to lose by one-touchdown margins, Chicago, noted in the past for its line- crunching attacks, will depend on a wide-open game, the bid to add a vic- tory over Washington, to its triumph :‘! Princeton, in intersectional competi- lon. VIRGINIA U. YEARLINGS SEEKING EVEN BREAK UNIVERSITY, Va., November 22.— Virginia's first-year team hopes to win from the North Carolina freshmen to- morrow on Lambeth Field. The youn(l Cavaliers need a victory in this game to even their record for the season. Coach McConnell's youngsters got off to a bad start by losing to V. M. I, 6 to 0, and to Maryland, 19 to 13. Then they played a 7-to-7 draw with Wash- ington and Lee. Much better form was shown when they defeated V. P. I, 13 to 6. Last week the Tar Babies lost to the Maryland frosh. This seems to indi- cate that the first-year Cavaliers have an even chance. Cores in_Stock Nortl ...

Di out in large numbers and, even though conditions are far from ideal for low scoring, the gentis who hope to grace their Thanksgiving HAT turkey tournament at Ban- nockburn is bringing the golfers course are doing rather well. Luther Florine, the southpaw golfer, who scores so well and is said to have a decided edge on his fellow competitors because of a hearing defect, is far in the lead today, as the competition draws near its close. The tourney will end on Sun- day and Florine found a day consid- erably to his liking, for he shot a 76, which isn't so far above the record for the course and certainly is as well as any golfer at Bannockburn shoots in the excellent conditions of Midsum- mer. Why Florine has a handicap of 9 is a puzzle, for he scores lower than some men whose handicaps are lower than his. But his impost, as posted on the handicap list, is 8, and he thereby leads in the turkey tournament by at last two strokes, with a net 67. Only two strokes back of him, how- ever, is M. C. Torrey, who cracked out an 86 the other day, and, aided by a handicap of 17, is close on Florine's heels with a net 69. There will be five prizes in the tournament, and C. C. Heath and H. G. Wood are in a tie for third place, both with net 72s. has turned in an 83, with a handicap of 11 strokes, while Wood has an 85, with a handicap of 13 strokes. Harry F. Krauss, who led for a time with en 84, is far back of the leaders as the competition enters the home stretch, with a card of 84—8—76. After today there still will be two days left in the tournament, and it is more than likely that one or two of the present Jeaders will be displaced by some late comer who uncorks a streak of golf good enough to shove one of the top men anrthel' down on the rungs of the lad- er. Course construction activity at Ban- nockburn has slowed up considerably and practically all that is being done at present is the proper maintenance of the layout. There still is talk of re- building the fourteenth green, which 1 e Summer time S.

OMAHA, Nebr., November 22.—A proposed post-season game between | all-star teams representing the Missouri Valley Athletic Conference and the Rocky Mountain Conference has been voted down by the former group, it has been announced by the Rev. W. J. Cor- boy, president. Unanimous approval of the contem- plated game was necessary and the Missourl Conference vote found two u‘:::]?ol- opposed, it was learned unoffi- clally. Should Rocky Mountain Conference officials hold their offer open, Father Corboy sald, a different decision might be made at the annual business meet- LI;I gt the Missouri Conference Decem- T 6. STRIBLING AND CARNERA LIKELY TO FIGHT AGAIN LONDON, November 22 (#).—The Express says that negotiations are under way for another match, at Paris, between Young Stribling, Macon, Ga., heavyweight, and Primo Carnera, Vene- tian carpenter. ‘The match, the newspaper says, will be held on or about December 12. Stribling has agreed to terms which contain a provision that if either lose on a foul the offender shall lose his share of the purse. Stribli was disqualified on a foul in the fourth round of his match with Carnera at Royal Albert Hall here a few nights ago. BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, November 22.—At least & dozen games in various parts of the country promise spectacular contributions to the main drive down the college gridirons. Many of the remaining classics are reserved for Thanksgiving day appetites or on a scattering of sub- sequent dates, but a glance at this slate gives some idea of the action in prospect tomorrow. California and Stanford at Palo Alto, with at least 87,000 palpitating over the decisive struggle of the Pacific Coast Conference race between the somewhst favored Golden Bears and Pop Warner's Stanford Cardinals. Harvard and Yale, at Cambridge, with 58,000 partisans expecting a real battle, whether or not the sophomore battle between Albie Booth and Barry ‘Wood materializes. If Booth is in shape | the Elis will enter the fray favorites. Texas Christian and Baylor at Waco, with the Horned Frogs, if they are not handicaped by the “flu,” seeking to fortify their hold on the Southwest Con- ference lead. Purdue and Indiana at Bloomington, with the unbeaten Boilermakers heavy favorites to make their Big Ten cham- pionship all the more impressive with a clean slate. Fordham and Bucknell at the Polo Grounds, New York, with the Maroons’ unbeaten record menaced by a flock of wild buffaloes from Christy Mathew- son’s alma mater. ‘Washington and Chicago at Si Field, with the huskies from North- ‘west anxious to retrieve some prestige Kansas and Missouri at Lawrence, in an old quarrel,"with not a great deal to_choose between them. Nebraska and the Kansas Aggies, at Manhattan, with the Huskers minus their star back, Clair Sloan, in a game that may decide the Big Six race. Lehigh and Lafayette at Bethlehem in a“renewal of a rivalry involving more games than any other in American foot ball history. The Universities of Detroit and Ore- gon cover as wide a range as any out- fit in their concluding few games. After playing the n Aggies from the Far West this week, Detroit takes on George- town from the Far East the following Saturday. 2 Oregon plays the University of Ha- wall this Saturday at Portland, goes to San FPrancisco Thanksgiving day to meet the rugged St. Mary's eleven and then journeys to Miami for a battle with Florida December 7. There are seven different nationall« ties on the Hawallan team, which held Oregon to a single touchdown victory & year ago and has hopes of winning to- morrow. LIPTON PICKS SKIPPER.
