SPORTS — LIPTON CHALLENGE 1S COLORFUL TOUCH International Classics Mark | Program for 1930—Grid Feud Bows Out ’29. BY ALAN GOULD. Assoclated Press Sports Eautor, EW YORK, December 31.—The old year, with all its thrills in sport, fades today vefore the new, with the promise that 1930 will furnish greate rinternational rivalry, keener competition for the rul- ing champions, larger crowds, bigger and better arguments. At the outsst, onc of the main de- bates left over from 1929 for settlement is the East-West gridiron feud, the fin- ishing thrusts of which will take place at San Francisco and Pasadena tomor- row. In these, the unbeaten University of Pittsburgh team and the Eastern all- stars will seek to reverse the scales which already have been turned in the West's favor by Stanford's conquest of ‘Two other items of unfinished busi- ness, bequeathed by the old vear to the new, are the case of Iowa, outcast of the Western Conference, and the selec- tion of a world heavyweight boxing champion. The betting seems to be in | favor of Iowa's ultimate reinstatement and the elevation of the Boston sailor, Jack Sharkey to the post vacated in the Summer of 1928 by Gene Tunney and unoccupied since. Internationals Revived. ‘The first 1930 test for Sharkey is slated in Miami, February 27, with ‘Tuffy Griffith as a likely opponent. The final test for the winner of this engage- ment probably will be against Max Schmeling, in June or September, but there is still some fear that the elim- inations again may eliminate all the contenders. By far the most spectacular outlook for the new year centers about the re- vival of international classics in golf, polo, yacht racing and horse racing. in addition to such hardy annuals as the Davis Cup contest. In picturesque touches, the challenge of the famous Irish sportsman, Sir ‘Thomas Lipton, for the America’s Cup tops the list. This million-dollar ven- ture will find Lipton’s Shamrock V seeking the classic for the first time in 10 years in a series of races against the American defender to be sailed off Newport, starting September 13. In competitive interest, the invasion of Britain’s links again by Bobby Jones will be one of the year's high spots. Besides leading the American Walker Cup team. Jones will campaign all along the English golfing front, seeking to repeat his triumphs of 1926 and 1927 in the British open as well as to win the British amateur for the first time. At home, the great Georgian will de- fend the national open and try to re- gain the amateur title, now held by “Jimmy” Johnston, in one of the most strenuous seasons of the Jones era. America’s youthful polo forces will be rallied under the leadership of Tommy Hitchcock to meet the chal- lenge of Great Britain after a three- year lapse. In addition, Argentina is & team of riders who will start their invasion on the Pacific Coast. Horse racing has the prospect of a $100,000 international spectacle at Ar- lington Park, Chicago. Tilden Missing. ‘The Davis Cup war, co far as the United States is concerned, will be fought without Big Bill Tilden for the first time in 10 years. Tilden’s retire- ment leaves to youth the battle against FPrance's well-fortified tennis ramparts. ‘The French won without Lacoste in 1929, and they figure to keep the his- toric trophy for at least another year. As Helen Wills Moody, the American queen of the world courts is expected to continue her tournament career, and Tilden, even though out of team play, ‘will be a factor once more in the men’s championships of France, England and the United States. Connie Mack’s Athletics, having crashed through to the world cham- plonship of base ball after a long wait, figure to stick around the top in 1930, ‘The Mackmen have the talent and equipment for a prolonged term at the , but the dethroned New York Yankees will be primed for a come- back under their new manager, Bob Shawkey. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs face formidable chal- lenges for the pennant from Pittsburgh and New York. Altogether, 1930 should be an interesting base ball year, follow- ing shake-u fn the management of 8 of the 16 league clubs. The youthful talent was not quite enough in 1929 to break down the jers erected by many of the old- timers; not quite accomplished enough to remove the crowns adorning the aged brows of Ruth, Tilden, Walker, Hornsby, Hagen, Diegel and others. Few of the main titles changed hands in the closing year, but the campaign of 1930 will see the old guard up against keener competition, under high- er pressure from the youthful brigade. Nineteen-twenty-nine closed the ‘bright gridiron chapter of Red Cagle of the Army, but the story-book career of Alble Booth of Yale has just begun. ‘With all the sprightly grace of little Alble, Kid 1930 picks up the battle where Old Man 1929 left off. RUMOR THAT LIEB MAY COACH AUBURN 1S HEARD SOUTH BEND, Ind., December 31.— Southern Conference foot ball leaders were speculating today on the validi of reports in the South that Tom Li assistant foot ball coach at Notre Dame, ight take over the coaching reins at Alabama Poly next Fall. Reports from the South indicated that Auburn was bargaining for the coaching services of Lieb, who directed Notre Dame's successful campaign dur- ing the season just completed through & grueling nine-game schedule while Knute Rockne, head coach, was dis- abled. Straight Off Tee | j Leo C. Pagel is the latest member of the hole-in-one club at Rock Creek Park. Like so many other aces that have been made in recent weeks, Pagel scored his ace on the fifth hole, a short pitch of 105 yards over a creek. He was playing in a match with T. C. Thompson, W. E. Smith ond U. Seltzer. Some people call Harry S. Welch a golf fanatic, but he is so much enam- ored of the game of golf that he be- lieves he acts only in rational manner when he keeps mementoes of the red- | letter days of his golf carcer. One day last Summer Welch scorcd an ace on the eleventh hcle at Bannockburn. The | ball with which he made the scors now | Teposes in a glass case in his office, and over it are clippings from newspapers recording the feat. Hard by the ball which made the ace is a framed score card which re- cords how Welch shattered 100 on a | great day during the past golf scason. This score—a 99—is one of Welch's most prized memento: t time we hear a star “iickinz” hocause he shot a “rotten” 75, we are going to refer him to Welch. | THEY’RE CELTICS ARE GUESTS AT BASE BALL FEED ALEXANDRIA, Va., December 31.— St. Mary’s Celtics base ball stars were guests at a banquet last night at Hurshy’s Salon, 400 King street, in observance of the Celtics triumph over the Naval Hospital nine of Washington, t’l‘:{ the Washington-Alexandria diamond . Jack Tulloch, sports editor of the Alexandria Gazette, presided. Among those who spoke were Capt. Joe Judge, Trainer Mike Martin and Coach Nick Altrock of the Washington American League club; Sylvester A. Breen, president of the Cardinal A. C. and “grand old man of local base bal Charley Corbett, manager of the Celtics; Player-coach Brownie Lemerice and Mrs. Kidwell, mother of the Celtics’ catcher, Russell Kidwell, Bill Langford, captain of the Celtics, was presented with a coat sweater; “Doc” Dreifus, leading slugger who hit for .495, was presented with a gold base ball while “Buddy” Zimmerman, out- flelder, was awarded a silver trophy for general all around work. Plans for a game between the Vir- ginia Midgets and the Cheslottesville fives, claimants of the national 109- pound foot ball title, have been call-4 off. The Charlottesville team has disbanded. Knight's flve has been scheduled by the Skinken Brothers' Eagles for a contest in the Armory at Silver Spring, Md., Sunday. Alexandria’s acquisition of Potomac and several other communities from Arlington County at midnight tonight will mean that Alexandria High School is to have a rival for the local sports championships for the first time. George Mason High, now in Potomac, will come into the local school group.

NORTHERN GRID TEAM ATLANTA, Ga., December 31 (#)— | Gene McEver, Tennessee's halfback ace, will lead the Blue squad from the Northern region and “Stumpy” Thoma- son, the mite from Georgia Tech, will captain the team from the South as.the elevens clash here tomorrow in the | Shrine Southern Conference charity gridiron classic. ‘The Northern team is the favorite, having a decided weight advantage, both in the line and the backfield. Neither coach has decided definitely on the starting line ups, but team “A” of the North formed with Hug and Brandt of Tennessee, at ends; Lepo of North Carolina State and Hawkins of W. and L., at tackles; Drury of Ken- tucky and Gunnells of Clemson, at guards, and Grow of V.

Farrell Mastered Iron Play By Controlling Wrist Roll This is the first of a series of articles written by famous amateur and vrofes- sional golfers, telling how they overcame outstanding faults in their play. BY JOHNNY FARRELL, National Open Champion in 1928. ©O man ever won an important tournament against first-rate opposition unless he knew how to hit his irons. can't score well— barring extraordi- nary luck—if your iron shots are not being played ac- curately. I counldn't win until I learned the art, and it is an art. The best golfers are those who can poke their iron shots close to the hole. If you can do that you don’'t have to be continualiy trying to drop impossible putts. For a 1ong While Jonnny Fa T wondered why I couldn’t control these shots. Other golfers told me I had a pleasing swing, and 1 seemed to hit the ball crisply enough, but it was always something of a surprise to me when the ball went where I wanted. That wasn't right. Sports writers frequently spoke of me as a fine golfer who couldn't seem to win. Then I found out why. I discovered 1 was laying too much stress on wrist roll duced a stroke plensing enough to the eye it didn't help me with my scoring. You simply Though it pro- | As a matter of fact it was my greatest | handicap. | When I learned the cause of my | trouble, I set about correcting it, I did | this by taking the club back with a | rigid left arm, and not allowing my | hands to go any farther than on a| level with the right shoulder. This eliminated the wrist roll and gave me | | more of a hit and less of a sweep | stroke. It also gave me the feeling | that the club was under control at all | times—a most necessary factor. | It took hours of practice to eliminate | my bad habit. When you get used to doing & thing it's hard to break away from it, and when it's a bad habit it's | even harder. | I worked hard at correcting that | fault. For a dozen strokes I'd keep | that wrist roll away, and then when I | let my concentration diminish I found myself doing it again. But the prop-r | sort of practice will correct anything. Soon I found myself hitting the ball properly without consciously thinking | of it, and then I knew I had won the battle. - 1 | _ You can't afford to get discouraged. ' It takes a lot of sticktoitiveness to be- « ome & good golfer. Every one develops aults. Even the greatest players make oad shots at times. Truly, golf is an ‘umblin’ game, but the troubles thlli crop up can be corrected by intelligent | diagnosis and hard work. i If you are having difficulty with your fron shots see if the cause isn't the‘ same that bothered me. Try keeping the hands no higher than the right | shoulders at the top of the swing, and | with the left arm straight. I'm con- | vinced you'll get better control and a crisper ‘shot by doing this just as I (Coporight. 1920, North Ameriesn Newspapor Alliance.) (Next: George Voigt). FAVORITE AT ATLANTA! HAWKS ANNEX FIRST HALF IN LOOP PLAY | HYATTSVILLE, Md., December 31.— | Brentwood Hawks today have a lead of a game and a half and have clinched the first-half series crown in the Prince Georges County Basket Ball League. ‘The Hawks' path to first-half honors | was cleared last night when Company | F, National Guard quint, which had | been just & game behind the leaders, bowed to Berwyn A. C., 26 to 30. In another Jeague game last night Dixie Pig A,/ C. drubbed Hyattsville Southern Methodists, 44 to 11, to gain fifth place in the flag race. Fine battling marked the Berwyn- Company F game, with the former team coming from behind in the late stages to triumph. Getting an early lead the soldiers led at the first quarter, 10 to 8; at the half, 17 to 11, and at_the third quarter, 22 to 18. In the final quarter Paul Brown, former Tech High mainstay, came through with a floor goal to tle the score at 24-all. Then Johnny Devlin, who used to ylly for Company F, found the cords for a 2- pointer that gave Berwyn the lead, which it held. Brown and Devlin, along with Bill Werber, Duke . University player, and Rich Reeley, another former Company F player, scored all except one of Ber- wyn’s points. Rufus Vincent and Wil- bur Wright, with 9 and 8 points, re- spectively, were high scorers for Com- pany F. No Shot as Exact As Perfect Iron BY SOL METZGER. No shot, according to no less an authority than Audrey Boomer, re- quires more exactness than the iron. Its contact with the ball must be exactly as desired else the result is far from what is planned. These old adages about head down, eyes on ball, no swaying, straight left arm and proper leg bracing and balance throughout mean more on an iron shot than in HEAD DOWN-LYES L ON BALL-NO SwAY INC: ) OF BODY: OR CIVING AT KNEES-ELSE YOUR IRON MAY TAKE TURF FIRST = e 122 playing the wood. Timing is every- thing with th=s> clubs. One reason is shown. Any one of these faults leads to some slight error in bringing the clubface into the ball. If it is not exactly swung into the right position, face taking ball and then turf, if it happens to come in too low, face meeting turf first, the :hot is missed as the turf forms a pad between club and ball that takes all the crispness out of the contact. The iron is played compactly and with crispness be- cause it is made for thai purpose. You do not slug with it, neither do you swing it gently. nless you understand the pivot you cannot hope to shoot good golf.

NY number of smart foot ball people have said repeatedly this last season that Pittsburgh had a much stronger team than even the scores showed, and most of the scores were decisive enough. The point has been made that Pitts- burgh won most of its games quickly and then rushed in reserves without attempting to show full strength for noon. men mentioned on various all-America selections, the list including Donchess at end, Uansa at halfback, Parkinson at fullback and Montgomery and Dim- oleo at guards. Pittsburgh now has its chance to prove its full strength, for Southern California is as stout a test as any team could ask to meet, especlally so with better climatic conditions for the training needed to get shaped up for the Eastern invasion. Pittsburgh hasn't played a game since ving day and has had little decent weather in which to work out doors, Southern California had a hard game with Carnegle ‘Tech in December and is now all set, with at least two frst-class ams. Southern California has a big, fast line, two fine ends and a flock of star backs, headed by Saunders, Duf- fleld and Musick. And Southern California is naturally anxious enough to put a few of Pitts all-America entries back in line. Timing is a big part of foot ball, and it remains to be seen how Pittsburgh can hold her timing after more than a month’s inaction in actual play. Pitts- burgh’s timing on attack was a big g:n. of her season’s success, and it may that so many veterans can still carry out the old order. If they can, Pitts- burgh should win, for there have been few foot ball teams as strong offensively and defensively combined as Pittsburgh LADIES' DISTRICT LEAGUE TEAM STANDING. | Recreation Jonn _ Blick adia . & Pin . 26 1 Sreyer e 31 20 avis. 2] Lucky Strike.

HIS Pittsburgh-Southern California meeting should bring about one | of the best contests of the season, dat- | ing back to last October. Southern | California and Notre Dame finished only a point apart. Pittsburgh is better equipped with reserves than Carnegie Tech ‘was, and reserves are needed when Howard Jones begins to feed in his extra | men, who are just about as good as his | regulars. Neither team will have any advan- tage in this respect. Sutherland has Clarke and other fast backs ready to replace any tired athlete on a warm day, and he also has two or three high- class line reserves, although none of them can match Montgomery and Di- moleo. up to form the West Coast will look at two of the best guards in foot ball, on a par with the Post-Robesky combina- tion Stanford sent into action a year ago. West Coast fans have been hearing about Dochess, the Panther end, for three years. Naturally they want to see how he compares with Tappan, the Trojan star, who was also picked on many teams. They want to see how Saunders compares with Uansa, the fast, elusive Panther back who ran his way into eight touchdowns on gal- lops over 50 yards. They also want to get a line on Montgomery, as compared to Bar- rager, an early season star, who slumped and then came back to his top form. There will be enough all-star com- parisons to keep comment buzzing for some time. But a lot of things can happen in one foot ball game that might not happen a week later, as the breaks must play a big part when two such well matched teams happen to bump head on in the same corral. B So far as combined weight, speed and power go, no one field has shown more to date than the Pasadena fleld will show on Wednesday. But you can ble that it will take a lot of foot ball to beat the Pittsburgh team of 1929. First call for arnica to apply to crocked resolutions for 1930. About 2,000,000 golfers should resolve | to throw away their old swings and try a_ new set of calisthenics for 1930. They know any change could not be for the worse. Horton Smith seems to have his tour- nament game grooved around 280 for 72 holes. Which is eight under even 4s. Which also is too swift for most | of the boys to follow without getting dizzy down the stretch. Nineteen twenty-nine's bid for histor- ical fame is that it refused to bring out any heavyweight champion to act as a bulwark against tottering civilization. Now the world knows that great trage- dies can take place without speeding up the decline of the race. (Copyrizht. 1929.) Guards’ Positions Tell Type Defense BY SOL METZGER. Styles change in sport. Some 13 years ago Len Jourdet, coaching a Penn basket ball squad, hit upon a new defense that caused his five to sweep the board in the East to an interccllegiate vietory. It became known as the five-man, man-to-man gr{;‘nsfl. It revolutionized basket all. There have been many develop- ments and variations of the original product. But today it is coming into its own again after a craze of zone defensive systems and combinations of the two. Washington used it last year in its two-line style, the three ferwards and center meeting the at- STANFORD 20NE DEFENSE — GUARDS SHIFT LATERALLY TO MEET ATTACK-ONE FORWARD DROPS BALK tack jus, back of midcourt, the two guards lying further back. They had splendid results with it in the Pacific Northwest. The scheme they worked was to have the two guards cover the first two opponents to break through the forward wall, Nos. 1 and 2 in the diagram, the other three teammates taking the next three men as they appeared. Such a defense can be distin- guished from a zone defense by the fan if he watches the guards. In zone defensive play the guards will not leave their zones. In man-to- man they hug to the first man they cover wherever he gocs. Tomorrow —Western Conference combination defense, (Coprright, 1920.)

Witnesses of Harrison's feat who can speak with authority say it | is doubtful if a more brilliant ex- hibition of duckpin bowling ever was given. His accuracy and not breaks due to peculiar alleys, they say, was responsible for his heavy pinfall. But if the alleys were not regulation this would be all forgotten in the future and Har- rison’s marks, if accepted, would ever be under a cloud. A year or two ago Ray Von Dreele of Baltimore rolled 756 for five games in a doubles match, a score 42 pins better than Harrison'’s, yet Von Dreele's mark ‘was ruled off because there was no foul- line judge. The congress’ officials were quite aware that Von Dreele doesn't | foul once in hundreds of matches, and refused to accept his score, even with affidavits by witnesses that he didn’t foul on this occasion. It was hard medicine for Von Dreele {and for the congress authorities, yet they took it, and the reaction was healthy. George on the Job.

Apropos of strict rules enforcement, Nick Tronsky, who bowled against the Grand Palace Valet, Harrison's the other night, lost the National Duck- pin Bowling Congress all-events cham- })tomhlp two years ago by making one foul. Bill Tato of the Connecticut team, which shoots at the Coliseum here Sat- urday, is the smallest star in the game. He has to rubberneck to reach 5 feet.

Dispatches from Hartford say the alleys on which Harrison rolled were not strictly standard and that the ins were set closer together prevai? in Washington. If this is true the records must be ruled out if the congress is to licy and effective in the long run in standard- with greater effect with round than with square gutters. ‘The Washington bowlers were well pleased with their treatment by the Hartford fans, and particularly with the ovation given Harrison after his 187 game. This was the winning punch in the team match, but Ollie Pacini’s pinch bowling at the finish, when vic- tory was in doubt, called for a share of laurel. Ollie got a fat spare in each of the last three frames. Up to that point he had been struggling. ‘The Hartford drives are older, and therefore probably inferior to those on which the Washington games will be rolled—the teams and doubles at the Coliseum and the singles at the Lucky Strike. Strangeness of the alleys, how- ever, was not much, if any, handicap to the Washington bowlers, because the drives were strange, too, to several of the New Englanders. Howard Campbell in the singles was hampered by a loose board. It was on the spot where he drops his ball regu- larly, and he was forced to loft over it. An effort was made to nail it tight, but it persisted in protruding. Next Saturday's games will draw the season's record crowds, no doubt, with the singles at the Lucky Strike at 2:30 o'clock and the doubles at the Coliseum at 6 o'clock, with the team match im- ediately following. Tourney Resumed Thursday. Bowlers in The Washington Star's tournament at Convention Hall seem to approve unanimously the scheduling of two to an alley instead of five, as last team, | year. According to Arville Ebersole, secretary of the Washington City Duck- ?in Assoclation, who assisted in hand- ing the 1928 tournament, there are fewer scratches in the current event, which will be resumed Thursday night. The second half of the field will go to post hopefully. There are 20 prizes for men, and thus far only six sets in the 600 class have been rolled. There are 10 prizes in the women's section, and only four sets better than 300 havc been made. It is a safe wager that Tony De Fino’: 632 won't stand up for first place, al though a powerful score. Last year the winning total was 654. Tony'’s would have got him second place. Bess Ackman has probably a better chance to win in the women’s class, with 344. That Gulli girl has yet to roll, however, and if Lorraine is in a charging mood the 344 won't be formi- dable. Another dangarous contender is | Rena Levy.
