NOTE—The accompanying interview with Frank Butterworth, famous old Yale fullback, who gives some of his ideas on the modern pame, is amother of the Associated Press series om veterams of aport. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, February 4— The fine “old” man of Yale foot ball, superhero of the days when Frank Hinkey, “Pudge” Heffelfinger, “Kid” Wallace and a host of other legendary figures roamed the Eli playing fields, looks down from the hills of Connecticut and isn't at all pleased with what has hap- pened to foot ball today. He is Prank B. Butterworth, “old” only in ‘that he catpained the Yale wvarsity of 1894. He played three raging years of foot ball with Hinkey, fash- joned for himself a place among the sll-time fullbacks, and could kick with any man who ever laced on a foot ball shoe. Today he roams his estate in the hills of Mount Carmel, Conn., a country gentleman with his riding horses, polo ponies, donkey and dogs, close enough to Yale to be the friend and confidant of another generation of pigskin warriors, yet far enough away 0 be able to live in the rural surround- ings he loves. Despite the gray lanes that trace through his straight black hair, he looks as though he still could play rlenty of fullback for Yale or run a fast half mile as he used to. He is tall, 9 shouldered, very little above the 162 unds he toted in those e Ell ckfields. Two of his sons, and Frank, followed in his cleat marks at Yale and Frank was a whale of & heavyweight fighting prospect.

When an-American goes to England and France to play against the British and the French I should call it international tennis. But evidently Tilden doesn’t. So, when the time comes, I don't believe he will regard the Davis cup matches as international tznnis. This isn’t the first time Tilden has said he was through with in- ternational tennis. Two years ago he was saying he had played for the last time in Davis cup match- es, but you didn’t sée him on the side lines after that, did you? I am convinced Tilden can no more give up playing Davis Cup tenni while he ‘can play at all than he can stop eating. He loves the finme too much and he likes the spotlight too much. And who, having held the spotlight, doesn't like it? 1 predict that Tilden will be on the 1930 Amerian Davis Cup team if the committee selects him.

That shows you can't please everybody, no matter what you do, and if the committee thinks it ean win with Tilden he should be. picked. If Tilden is selected his play will un- doubtedly be limited to the les. \"deck, and Georse Los ung Johry on deck, an tt: and Je Doeg, national doubles champions, also avallable, there is no need to burden Tilden with the doubles. He will be nlmch more valuable in the singles alone. 1 don't think Bill has a chance of beating Cochet, if we get into the chal- lenge round, but I would favor him over rotra, and if Lacoste returns to the fray this year, which seems doubtful, Tilden might also beat the phlegmatic Parisian. Lacoste has been '&o:fi{"’ very little playing for more than & year, and no longer has his heart in the game, Tilden's recent defeat by Borotra in the covered court championship doesn't mean & thing. Borotra's forte is indoor while Tilden has never been within 15 as good indoors as on grass or clay. Bill defeated Borotra in the challenge round last Summer, and my money would be on him to do it again en can come h with one of his singles matches there is a strong chance we can bring the cup back. We will be better than an even favorite glndlh:hgml]bles. lng the job will be to player who can other singles match. i (Copyright, 1930, by North - Paver Alffaee ) orican News (Next: Prank Hunter.)
