SPORTS.' COUNTRY IS LAUDED ‘FOR SPORTS SPRI Dominion Team This Year Is to Offer Yanks Keener Fight Than in 1929. BY VINCENT RICHARDS. This is one of a series of stories in which Vincent Richards analyzes the chances of countries other than the United States in the Davis Cup competition this year. N TEXT to the United States N the strongest nation en- tered in the American zone Davis Cup matches is Can- ada. Through the draw, Canada will face the United States in the first round. Last year the United States and Canada met in Montreal, and the United States and had no great difficulty winning, although Can- ada proved far from a set-up. This year, with Canada’s added experience, its representatives should be all the worthier oppo- nents, though I do not look for 1y upset. The Canadlan team in all probability will be picked from a squad including Jack Wright, Willard Crocker, Dr. whur Ham and Marcel Rainville, with 1ght and Crocker as the singles players. There is a possibility Wright will not play, s he said last year, fol- lowing the tie with the United States, that he was going to retire from Davis Cup competition. ‘Wright Best in Canada. has been for some years. Jost both his singles to John Hen- and John Van Ryn last year, he carried. Hennessey to four sets and almost. to five, and during the Summer he defeated some of the best young United States players in the Canadiin el ionships. John Doeg and Frank Shields, both members of the first 10, fell before h{m!in the semi-final and final, respectively. A On the form Wright showed in win- ning the championship of Canada he should be a dangerous opponent for the young players from the United States who will bear the brunt of the Amer- jcar. zone ties. Crocker, while not as good as Wright, can nevertheless play irst-class tennis when he is on top of his game, and he has given Wright many a close battle. He isn’t quite as aggressive as his teammate, and hasn't as much stuff on the ball, but his strokes are clean-cut and made with good form, and he is capable of making trouble for any one who takes him lightly. Rainville and Dr. Ham were both members of the Canadian team last year, and are likely to make terious bids for a wxu:m again, particularly in the event Wright should not play. Dr. Hi represented Canada in the matches year, teaming with Wright against Van Ryn and Hennessey, and taking a set from them. There are some who think ‘Wright and Crocker make a better team THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

HOYA RINGMEN BID FOR HIGHEST PLACE Four Preliminary Victories Give Hilltop Chance at Championship. Dispatch to The Star. HILADELPHIA, Pa., March 22— With four victories in the pre- liminary round of the finals of the Intercollegiate Boxing As- sociation to six for Western Maryland and five each for the Naval Academy and Pennsylvania State, Georgetown than any other Canadian can muster, but .the Dominion officials know their own business. Dominion Deserves Credit. Regardless whether Canada defeats the:United States, she deserves a great deal of praise for her support of the Davis Cup matches. A country shows real §) ing spirit if she enters when the ‘e against her. This loyalty by Canada should have its reward, for the experience her players are gaining against those of other nations is bound o improve them. Remember that Lacoste and Cochet of France were once regarded as only fair players and that today they rule the tennis world. The French associa- tion kept challenging and sending her players to the United States year after year. . They knew they were going to be beaten, but they knew also that unless they got the experience they would never reach the top. Garnett H. Meldrum, Ross Cleveland and John M. Miller are the men who are keeping Canada in the Davis Cup picture. The excellent manner in which they ran the Davis Cup matches last year helped stimulate interest by Can- ada in tennis, and as long as the game 18 in the keeping of such men, there is no question Canada will take her place in the not distant future among the leading powers in international play.

Golf, tennis, swimming and work are included i the 1t of sports in still appears to have a reasonable chance to take the highest honors. Its three musketeers, Tardugno, Fish and Bordeau, were all winners in their classes, while Murphy turned in-a neat victory over Bruno of Syracuse in the 135-pound class, and has a chance q( ldv:llnl a point or so to Georgetown's total. Georgetown’s chances for first honors rest upon its turning in two firsts d in the final rounds, which take place this' afternoon and evening. Tardugno, Fish and Bordeau all have good _chances to go through in the way they have started, but if one should drop a peg, two firsts and a second would still yield 13 points, and with the firsts as well distributed as they seem likely to be, that number of points could very easily take the match. ‘Western Maryland, which stands out as the leading contender on the show- ing of the first evening's boxing. was very fortunate in two decisions. Many thought that Wallace (Navy) defeated Crosby, intercollegiate cham- pion at 135 pounds, and Stauts of New York University had the better of the extra round against Barnett in the 175-pound encounter. The Navy also did as well as it had expected and has still an excellent chance, and the same can be said of P e Ehe Navys one. great dissppolntment e Navy'’s one great disappointme was the decision in the Crosby-Wallace bout, and its greatest triumph of the evening was when Fitagerald l;nocked out Epstein in the 125-pound ght., Epstein, Penn State, was the only in- umlu,lm champion to totter from his position last evening, and he fell at the hands of another champion, Fitz- gerald of the Navy. Epstein essayed the next higher weight, where he met Fitzgerald. For two rounds there was little advantage, but in the third, the Middy penetrated the skillful defense of the Penn Stater, and had him practically out at the end. ‘The general verdict was that the in- tercollegiates of this year are bringing wtether a much finer and more skill- ful set of boxers than on any of the six previous occasions.

State Still Without Grid Mentors BY H. C. BYRD. College still are without foot ball coaches for next year, and neither is making any statement about its lans. Efforts to VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE and North Carolina State find out just who will be in charge of gridiron activities at Blacksburg and Raleigh when practice begins next September have been just about as fruitless as a pe: ach tree in February, all of which s due, according to a man who was assistant coach in one of the two schools last Fall, to the fact the two schools are up a tree, so to speak, and do not know themselves “¥You know what the situation is in foot ball, and how hard it is to get coaches,” said this man while on & visit here yesterday, “and at this time of V. P. I, or any other school, may be expected to have its troubles to @il a head coach's job. I was asked if I would_consider a proposition to take over the work at our place, but I simply have not time to give to it. That would mean not only the three months in the Fall, but also two months of Spring practice, and I just could not give two mfll\klha in the Spring to that kind of work.” C. P. Miles, athletic director at Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute, says flatly that he does not know what will be the outcome of his efforts to find the kind of man he wants. As Miles puts it: “There are plenty of men who think they are good foot ball coaches, accord- ing to the 70 or 80 applications on my desk, but when I look over their rec- ords and consider their experience I am of a differing opinion.” Gus_Tebell's defection to Virginia is a real loss to North Carolina State. That school will have to search far and wide | before it gets an all-round man as capable as he is and who will do as good a s)nh in three sports. And chances are that after it searches far and wide it will not get a man anywhere near as valuable. And not only was he capable professionally, but Tebell's permmll(]y is such as to make him popular and well liked. Tebell coached foot ball, base ball and basket ball at the Raleigh school, and in few institutions in this day does any man attempt such a diver- sified jobh. Bill Raftery at Virginia | Military Institute is about the only other | Go0r! one in the South that is in the bigger schools. Changes in the foot ball rules for next year are just about as probable as | - snow in July. Even the foot ball coaches’ assoclation at its meeting last Winter was overwhelmingly against alterations in the rules, and the rules committee, which holds its annual meeting tomor- row, has already announced what was a foregone conclusion, that its work of codifying the rules was occupying it€ entire attention and that proposed Needs Golf Breaks, Gets Them, So Ralston Conquers Cramond IOR many months C. E. Ralston of | Bannockburn has been predict- ing that he would hand his friend E. D. Cramond, also of Bannockburn, a trouncing on the golf course, and for many months he has been pursuing this will-o’-the-wisp, hoping he might catch Cramond a bit off while he was on his game and ac- complish the wished-for result. Itcame two days ago at Bannockburn, but how it came and why it came makes a yarn that banishes all other tales of golfing luck far into the limbo of forgotten things. To beat his friend, Ralston had no fewer than four lucky breaks, all of them almost miraculous. He admits it himself, but he really thinks, according to Tony Sylvester, the rotund and enial Bannockburn pro, that these eaks should come to him and that they are all any man should expect. Here is the way the match was won: Cramond and Ralston were playing in a syndicate game with C. B. Des Jar- dins and Frank J. Pickett. On the fourth hole Cramond was on the green in the regulation two shots, while Ral- ston was in the rough at the right side of the green in three. He took a putter and holed out from the rough for a 4 and Cramond took three putts. That was miracle No. 1. At the thirteenth Cramond put his ball on the green from the tee—the hole is a mashie shot of about 160 yards down a hill—and Ralston then stepped up to do his stuff. unsuccessfully as regards direction, for the ball flew off at a angent to the right. The errant sphere, however, hit a limb of the oak tree which overhangs the ditch in front of the green and bounced merrily out on the to_rest about four feel hol e.d Ralston did not but he gof le green, com- t from the hole the put for t a half with Miracl 0. 2. On the fifteenth, which is also a short hole, Cramond put his tee shot on the green, and Ralston topped his ball into the grassy swale about 30 r |Posed to.cure the claimed misconcep- | He did it, but quite | poo; mashie niblick and almost holed out for a 2. The ball stopped only an inch from the cup, and he got a half with Cramond, who got his par 3. By this time Cramond and the other members of the match were wonder- ing what would happen next. They thought this series of miracles must have an end somewhere. But it was not to come yet. At the seventeenth tee Ral- ston stood 2 up on Cramond, and when he topped his tea shot it seemed that Cramond, who had already put his ball on the green from the tee, was to have a chance to square the match. But again that perverse fate which governs golf balls stepped in and gave Ralston a friendly pat on the back. His topped ball bounced around among the rocks in the ditch and finally landed on the putting green, where he got the half he needed to win the match from his friend. The upshot of the game was that Ralston won five syndicates and Cra- mond won three. And now Ralston declares that he was entitled to all those breaks.

OWN FEAT STIRS ATHLETE MORE THAN PUPILS’ ACTS “Country” Morris, former Tech and Maryland Star, Got Greatest Thrill in Playing and Coaching Career Out of Run Against Hopkins. ¢ S the greatest thrill in an ath- lete's life something he has done himself or is it something he has ‘watched one of his pupils do? If the athlete is a coach in later life, you might think he would get his kick out of an unexpectedly good performance by some hard-working youngster who hadn't been able to click until then. But if Coach Bill Morris of Albany Academy is any criterion, the greatest thrill is something you accomplish your- self,” sald Joe Mahar, sporting editor, writing in the Times-Union of Albany, N. Y., recently. Mahar was referring to William C. (Country) Morris, former Tech High and University of Maryland athlete, whom H. C. (Curley) Byrd called the best all-around performer ever to wear the Old Line colors. He also undoubt- edly was Tech's greatest sport product. Continuing about Morris, Mahar sald: “Bill_has had thrills galore. As & foot ball player, a base ball player and a runner, and as a foot ball, base ball and track coach, and, whisper this, as a foot ball scout (for Maryland) he has seen his labors crowned with the laurel wreath of victory. But his big moment came in the Fall of 1912, when, as a University of Maryland halfback, he ran 70 yards through the Johns Hop- kins team for his first intercollegiate touchdown in his first intercollegiate game and on the second play of the game. Real Star at Tech, “Coach Morris prepped at Tech High School in Wash! D, C, and was graduated in 1913, having . been one of the finest all-around athletes in the history of that school. He won foot ball, track and base ball letters un- til he didn't have room for more. He was captain of the foot ball and base ball teams in his senior year and won the title with his ball players, but took a tie for the championship with his gridders. “From there Bill went to the Univer- sity of Maryland, where he played foot bail and base ball in the next two years and got his greatest thrill. Maryland and Johns Hopkins are hated rivals. ‘They would rather beat the other than eat, and in Bill's first year they were an evenly matched pair of foot ball teams. “Bill was playing his first big game and a little nervous. Not so much shaky as I?mehenulve. ‘They kicked off to Maryland and the ball went into play deep in Maryland territory. “Maryland tried a play, but didn’t get very far with it. The ball 1l then was on the 30-yard line. The Maryland quar- SPORTS terback called for a kick formation, with Morris back. Johns Hopkins opened its defense and got ready to block the kick. But it wasn't blocked. Runs 70 Yards to Score, “Morris took the ball and started around his left end. He slipped past the charging Hopkins forwards and tore for the side lines. When it was all over he had traveled 70 yards and was over the line for one of the most stun- ning crashes a Johns Hopkins team ever suffered in a Maryland game. “Later on in the game Morris scored another touchdown on a 4-yard buck after his teammates had rushed the ball through a stubbornly strong Hopkins team. That was all Maryland and at that they missed one of the goals, the final score being 13 to 0. “Coach Morris has been coaching Albany Academy teams since 1924 and has turned out some of the best teams in the history of the school. The Cadets don't go in for championships, so the fact that they haven't any to sport doesn't mean a thing. If there is no title to win you can't very well win it. But his teams have been marked by their hard playing, clean playing and | sportsmanship. And that is one of the nnes;; tributes you can pay to any coach.” Morris was too modest to mention the great defensive work he did that day and how, when Hopkins got ncar the goal and was striving to use its pet scoring play, he threw the ball carrier for losses of from 2 to 4 yards on three successive plays. In a letter to & friend, inclosing the clipping from the Albany Times-Union 1wh'l:h had been requested), Morris wrote: “I am mot sure if the run in the Hopkins game was 60 or 70 yards, but it might just as well have been 200 as far as Hopkins was concerned. You know the first 10 yards are the hardest and I got Elemy of help. I don’t be- lieve a Hopkins man touched me during the run. “Mike Stevens gave me a great thrill in the 1926 Hopkins game, which Mary- land won, 17 to 14, after trailing, 14t0 0, at the end of the first half. I always considered Mike a great athlete, but I don't believe great described his per- formance on that day. He was. just about perfect to my way of thinking. “I had quite a visit with Biff Jones (former Washingtonian, who played for Central while Morris was at Tech and who later starred at West Point and coached the Army team) while he was here recently. He looked natural, talked natural and acted natural. Being coach of Army for four years didn't get the better of him.” Lame Back Handicaps Benson In Defense of Bowling Crown BY R. D. THOMAS. AME-BACKED Sam Benson will defend his national all-events championship tonight at Water- bury, The Georgetown Recrea- tion ace shot 381 with his team, 427 in the doubles and 333 in the singles to win the title last year at Richmond with a total of 1,141. ‘When the gang pulled out for Water- bury Sam wasn't more than mildly con- fident he would be a high scorer .ag‘m. “If this rickity back of mine'll be- have I reckon I ought to have a chance,” he said.

The game proceeded evenly for 28 moves, when Hesse captured a pawn, which three moves later cost him a pawn. Thereafter pawns and pieces were ex- changed and by skillful manipulation Byler made his extra pawn_count.. Un- able to stop a pawn from queening, Hesse resigned on his fifty-seventh turn. In his game with Bishop in this round Walker also opened with P to Q4, which Bishop responded to irregularly, the game later developing into a queen's gambit declined opening of the Pills- bury type.

Bet- tinger on the second evening won a pawn and Knapp started an attack, which proved successful, and finally won a game full of complications in 56 moves.

HIS time two years from now Business High, or Roosevelt High, as it will then be known, will be in its fine new building at Thirteenth and Upshur streets. A feature of the plant will be & stadium and gym sufficiently large and modern to take care of the needs of the Roosevelt athletes. There will be ample provision for base ball and foot. ball activities and tennis courts. There also will be a rifle range. Thus, Business long-suffering through lack of adequate facilities for its ath- letes, will at last have room for expan- sion. It will be interesting to note just what the Stenog teams then will do. With the new Roosevelt High open, all the public high schools here will have adequate facllities for sports activ- Western's new plant is expected lable about a year from now and Tech’s facilities are expected to be in full use in the not distant future. Central and Eastern’s athletic accom: modations are, of course, adequate, & least for the time being. Except for three games the Business High 1930 base ball schedyle has been completed by Manager Sammy Cohen. Fifteen contests have been listed, in- cluding the public high matches and various other attractive tests.

The objection of the McKinley officials to the new plan is that activities in the Tech gym will necessarily be greatly curtailed. Flashy work by George Groff and Victor De Mott was a big factor in the 36-18 swimming victory scored by Woodward over Devitt in the Central “Y” tank.
