Until then Junior was not known out- side the United States, although he had gained some fame in boys’ tournaments as a protege of Big Bill. The fact that Tilden had seen signs of greatness in Coen had not convinced many people that he had a big future. Indeed, the fact that Tilden praised him so was all the more reason critics shook their heads, because the lanky Philadelphian had had other proteges who had proved flashes in the pan. When Junior was chosen there were many who said he didn't deserve the honor, but there was his record in the test matches at Augusta, Ga., to back the selection. Junior not only played against China in the American szone ties at Kansas City, but he also went to Europe with the team. Almost two years have passed since, and Coen has not made any considera- ble progress. But it is too early to de- cide what the future holds. Last year he went to Europe with his family in the Winter and did not come back until Summer. He went straight home to Kansas City and played in only a few tournaments. In the national championship he won | his first two matches without losing a set, and then went against Frank Hunter. The diminutive prodigy from the West had the gallery cheering as he took the first set from Hunter, and it was only after the score had gone to 7—5 that Prank took the second set and went on to win the match. Prematurely Chosen, Perhaps. It is possible the selection of Coen in 1928 was premature, and that it would | have been better for him had he been |left off the team until he had more seasoning. He still has a great deal to learn, and he can't be expected to come into his full powers until he has reached Western held the whiphand over Raleigh all the way.

When the other team has control of the center tap it's high time for the opposition to do something about it, especially if it is resulting in scoring. When this is the case the astute coach counters with a different de- fense. He figures that the way to break up such plays is to drive a preponderance of men into the area Triangle Defenses Tip Off 84 = s, where the ball is tapped. To this end be switches to the “Y” defense, named from the letter the line up forms. Two forwards line up each behind one of the two centers. What is the Tesult?

But this kind of service is difficult to master, and Coen's control over it is none too reilable, with the result that he has to fall back on a soft service. 1 should say the thing Coen must work on most to gain the top and live up | to all the predictions made for him is | his service. Because of his shortness, Junior can- not hope for much success at the net unless he sprouts.

He already has a superb forehand, and by concentrating on his backhand and his service he may per- fect a game difficult for any to beat. ‘While a sound net attack is a big help, the lack of one is not a hopeless handi- cap by any means. Rene Lacoste, France's great player, is almost entirely a baseliner, though he can volley bril- liantly when he chooses, which is seldom. I do not look for Coen to make the | team this year. He may surprise us, | for he has been hiding his light under a bushel for the last year, and he may have improved considerably since 1928. | But I think the wisest thing for him is to get all the tournament experience ne can and hold off another year wo. = lEle is only 18, and there is plenty of time for him to win international honors. If his development takes a natural course and the association keeps a watchful eye over him and en- courages him, Coen should be one of our big hopes. | Next—W.
