Of course, the Blue and White ever ever the sport, but the fact that crown last season added an extra Defeat at the hands of Central aspirations. captured only one. In the other half of yesterday's s double-header Western contrived to squeeze out a 29-to-28 decision . *over Business in a battle that was a thriller if there ever was one. The win put Western in undis- puted possession of second place, ~ one game in the wake of Central. ‘The Red and White now has won two contests and last one. Western ~ just about ~ completely squelched Business’ pennant hopes. The Stenogs, who began the series regarded as a leading contender for the title for the first time in years, have just a Jone victory againsi three big defeats ! to show for their efforts so far. Busi- ness, after_ conquering Tech in is open- ing game, lost a thriller to Central be- fore ' dropping _that_ heartbreaker to Western yesterday. It just seems that there “ain’t no Santa Claus” so far as the Stenogs are concerned. Only Western Remains. Central, in addition to Tech, has con- quered Eastern and Business, Western alone remains to be engaged by the flashy proteges of Coggins. Whether they will also “take” the boys in Red will be determined Tuesday afternoon when Central and.Western square off in the second game of a doublé-header which will be opened with a contest between Easterh and “Tech at 3:45 o'clock. It looks like the Central-Wes{~ ern game, which will mark the end of 2 phay in the first round of the series, may, go far toward settling theé cham- pionship. & ‘Western by winning would, of course, tie Central for the lead. On the other hand, a victory for the Blue and White ‘would give it a lead that would make -+ 4t a heavy favorite to annex.the flag. Central doubtless has been. the more impressive team to date. In Jast Winter's series Western twice .. vanguished Central. The scores were . 26 to 19 and 26 to 12. Eastern and Tech both will be hot after victory Tuesday. A defeat for in either will be well nigh fatal to their waning title chanees. 5 < After the opening quarter Tech was mever in the running against Oentral yesterday. B 2 Reserves ‘Tried Out.

A nifty goal from the floor by Paul €hatlen in the dying seconds enabled Western to_eke out its triumph over Business. Earlier Chatlen had missed & snowbird under the basket. Just be- fore Chatlen scored his decisive goal, Freeman had missed a try from the foul line that would have ted the =’ score at 28-all. Scoring Honors Divided. Westérn, as its wont, started slow- ly, Business holding an 11-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second period, however, the Red and White rallled in spirited style and at - half time Business was ahead only 13 to 11. It was a great battle there- after, though Western aclfieved a slen- der lead just before the end of the third quarter and managed to stay in front until the final moments. Then in those fleeting seconds Chatlen came through with his dramatic toss that gave Western victory. Scoring honors were well divided on both tea though Capt. Thompson and Freeman, each with seven points, led Western's offense, and Lucas, Loftus “end Capt.

NEW YORK, January 18.—Jack Elder, Notre Dame foot ball star, makes his only Eastern track appearance of the year tonight in the Olympic sprins series of .the Brooklyn College meet at the 13th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn. Elder, who conquered Percy Williams, | Olympic champion, here last year, will | be a starter in tHe 60, 75 and 100 vard | sprints in which his chief opposition probably will come from Karl Wilder- muth of Georgetown and Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross.

But he seems to be even better on the boards of an indoor track, for he turned in a clean sweep of the ‘three sprint races at the Columbus Council, K. of C. annual games for the third year in a row on January 4 in the 106th Infantry Armory, Brooklyn, to open his 1930 indoor campaign in a blaze of glory. ‘The Georgetown flyer tied the world indoor record of 71-5 seconds FLYER.

BY WILLIAM “;EEKE!. Associated Press Bports Writy HICAGO, January 18.—Two of the three unmarred Big Nine basket ball slates—those owned by Illinols and Indiana—will be the targets of Wisconsin- and North- western sharpshooters tonight. The Illini, ranked as the early sea- son surprise team because of triumphs over Ohlo State and Michigan, will in- vade Wisconsin, while Indiana, victor over Chicago in its only conference start, will entertain Northwestern’s first division five, Defeat for either Wisconsin or North- western virtually would mean elimina- tion from the title scramble. Each has suffered one defeat, the Badgers having fallen before Northwestern, and the Wildcats, in turn, having bowed to Purdue’s undefeated five, Should both Ilinols and Indiana fall tonight, Pur- due would ease into sole possession of first place. The Illinols-Wisconsin game is ex- pected to develop into a defensive, low- scoring striggle. Both teams use a short passing offense and man-to-man defense, and breaks may be a big fac- ‘Wisconsin gave Ohio Sf a big- ber beating than Illinols was able to administer, but the Ilini will be strong- er tonight with the return of Capt.

Indoor Title at Chicago in April. BY FRANK W. BLANKLEY. Chairman .'mmA'“A Ogmmmn. National By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 18.—North- western University looms as a possible winner of team honors in the men's indoor swimming championships to be held in Chi- cago, April 2,°3, 4 and 5. The col- lege boys have Al Schwarts, the free- style crack: Richard Hinch, the back stroker, and also a record-breaking re- lay team. President Avery Brundage's plan of self-registration has pleased the West- ern Conference colleges, and the uni- versity tankers in the Midwest are flocking to A. A. U. competition. In two of the central champlonships, decided last week, Walter Laufer of the Lake Shore A. C. showed he was in championship form when he won the 50-yard free style and the 150-yard back stroke in close to record time. Spence Will Be There. ‘Walter Spence, the present all-around indoor champion, is in California, but he is the kind of enthusiast who will be at the championship meet if he has to swim there. Clarence _(Buster) Crabbe of Hawall is also in California and it is the ambition of this big fellow to show his wares to the indoor stars of the States. Buster, single-handed, won ‘the outdcor meet for his Hawaii club last August with 23 points. He is a combination of Norman Ross and Johnny Weissmuller in style and bulk and will make & big splash indeed when he visits Chicago. ‘The Chicago A. A. has a splendid swimming team headed by Wilcox, the sprinter, and Colbath, the diver. The New York A. C. is strong with Fissler, Ruddy, Harms and Dreyfus. When Crabbe goes to Chicago he will be ac- companied by Austin Clapp of Stanford and “Mickey” Riley and Harold (Dutch) Smith, champion divers. East, Central and Western sections are all very well represented by strong swimmers, but at the champlonships to be held at Chicago insApril it looks as though the college boys will show their | appreciation of the new working agree- | ment with the A. A. U. by walking off with the A. A. U. team championship. DAILEY IS SLATED TO HEAD NET BODY By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 18.—Samuel H. Collom of Philadelphia, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso- clation, will not be re-elected at the annual meeting in St. Louis February 15, it was indicated when Louis B. Dalley of New York was named for the office by the nominating commit- tee. Nomination is considered tanta- mount to election.

St. Paul, 2; Minneapolis, 0. Kansas City, 3; Tulsa, 1. A come, Cochet is now the world's to win at Wimbledon, to win two back home. Cochet is too well grounded in all the fundamentals of sound tennis to be stopped this season. In addition to these fundamentals he has style, speed, experience and the touch of genius that & champlon carries. Cochet only came to the heights about three years ago and he should still have two or three years left—pos- sibly more. He is now the main ob- stacle that any rival nation faces in attempting to overthrow French con- trol, and odds against any one beat- ing him in a big tournament are thin- ner than a Southern breeze. Tennis is one game where form usually runs true here there are fewer upsets than any other sport known, with possi- ble exception of polo. What About Tilden? IP Cochet, Lacoste and Borotra de- cide to stay at home this next Sep- tember the chances are quite good that g‘lil";l‘uden will be able to defend his Frank Hunter, Lott Van Ryn, Mercur, Allison, Wood and others play first-class tennis, but no one of them is s Tilden. ‘The Big Bill who won his first national title in 1920 and ruled the game for six or seven years is now getting along, as years in high-class tennis go, but he |Is no part of a set-up, certainly not in | his native domain, where the habit of winning still persists. | | The oldtimer still has a slashing serv- ice and all the fundamentals.

CHAMPIONS AND THEIR CHANCES FOR 1930, No. 3—Cochet and Tilden. 9 FAIRLY young Frenchman by the name of Henri Cochet now dominates the tennis reservation and the only one with even a chance to beat him is Rene Lacoste, another Frenchman, who seems to be out of competitive circles for some time m:L Tilden's domain restricted to the United States. It is something for a veteran around 36 to be national champion of the United States, but the lanky Tilden will have a tougher time protecting his limited crown this season than Cochet will have in stopping all comers. Cochet is good enough to win any tournament held in France, contest and to come over and win at Forest Hills, in the first three big events, and there is a strong chance that after a year’s absence he will come to America again and take another cup SPORTS. Dartmouth Attack Hard to Counter BY SOL METZGER. That the three-man attack system is a strong one in basket ball is proved by the record of Dartmouth. Last year, with & new coach in the person of “Dolly” Stark, the Na- tional League basket ball umpire, the Big Green five led the Eastern Intercollegiate League for the third successive year in the number of points scored. . ‘The Dartmouth attack from a re- bound is not unlike that employed by Indiana, the five we have been discussing in the preceding articles, The ball is fed to the middle man of the trio breaking for the basket and he dribbles down court to near the center. His two forwards, Nos. 2 and 3, precede him, going down the sides. As the dribble breaks into a pass the Dartmouth trio cross as shown at top speed. No. 1 passes to No. 2 and then breaks down court to the right, passing to the rear of No. 3. No. 3 cuts ahead of No. 2 and swings into the basket, No. 2 returning the ball to No. 1 as No. 1 nears the basket. The entire move makes for a variety of legal blocks and checks that are difficult for an opponent to counter because of the speed in- volved. At the worst one of the attacking trio may be driven to a corner of the court. RICHMOND QUINTET VISITS TOMORROW | Councillers to Be Guests of Jewish Center Tossers. Players Suspended.

'HE main idea connected with the next appearance of Phil Scott, the British champion, will be the suppres- sion of fouls or the claim of foul. For one reason or another Scott can absorb more fouls than any fighter who ever lived. Apparently, rival boxers can't keep from punching him below the belt. ‘This not only applies to American box- ers, but to those of other nations.
