SPORTS _‘ C.U. May Abandon Track Team SQUAD DEPLETED BY INELIGIBILITY Freshman Aggregation Likely to Toil in Effort to Build for Future. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY probably will abandon its plans for a varsity track team this Spring and can- cel the partial schedule it has arranged. Depletion of the squad through scholastic ineligibility is given as the reason for the action, but it also is possible that the be- ginning of Spring foot ball prac- tice may have something to do with it. It is the intention, ap- parently, to have a freshman team and L¢gia this Spring to build a foundation for the future of the sport at Brookland. Coach Dorsey Griffith said this morn- ing that he actually has in training only six eligible varsity men, so that the holding of dual meets simply is impos- sible. _Therefore, the only action left for the Brookland coach is to ask schools that have been scheduled to re- lieve them of the obligations. No doubt other schools, when they are cognizant of the situation, will be glad to ac- quiesce in helping the Brooklanders out of a somewhat difficult situation. Just what effect the beginning of Spring foot ball has had on the track squad has not been made known and perhaps it has not had any. However, in the great majority of schools Spring foot ball is carried on without any re- gard for other sports and coaches of Spring pastimes in many institutions do & lot of grumbling about it. One coach at & prominent university in the South Atlantic section recently said: “Spring, or rather Winter, foot ball is ruining basket ball here, It takes out for foot ball the very men who should make the best candidates for our teams.” In all probability, at Catholic Univer- sity, it will be found that many of the track and field men will be out for gridiron practice, which undoubtedly has come to be so important in the uni- versity mind that about everything else is being subordinated to its interests. University of Maryland teams go_out #oday to open their schedules in three sports. ‘The ball team tries conclusions with Cornell, the track squad with Washington and Lee and the lacrosse twelve with Randolph-Macon. The Old Liners figure their chances with Cor- nell should be just about even, with Washington and Lee a little against them, with Randolph-Macon consider- ably in their favor. The ball game and the track meet are to start at 2 o'clock and the lacresse game at 4. Cornell = succumbed to Georgetown yesterday” in their ball game on the Washington Barracks grounds. The Ithacans simply were not as good as the Blue and Gray and would lose four out of every five games they might play on the local field. Yesterday's victory gives Georgetown caven straight games in its won column. Good pitching by Noznesky, about the best fielding the team has done this year, and oppor- tune work with the stick were reasons for Georgetown's winding up the game with the long end of the score by a big margin, McCarthy and Dunn led in the batting for Georgetown with three hits each out of three and four trips, respectively, to the plate.

Catholic University took Vermont into camp yesterday by 8 to 4 and sent the Green Mountain men back to their home haunts without a victory to their credit on their Southern trip. The pitching of Hurley again was a big factor, the Catholic U. man turning in a mighty good performance for his team for the second time this season. He was a little wild at times, and allowed a total of nine hits, but four errors back | of him accounted for the runs made by Vermont. Oliver of C. U. hit a home run, a two-bagger and a single out of five trips to the plate. Kelly got three hits out of four times at bat.

Dartmouth beat the Marines yester- day in rather a ‘)eculhr ball game, ‘The New Hampshire men started in the first inning and before the smoke of that period had cleared away had five runs over the plate. These were the only scores made by either team and Dartmouth wound up with a 5-to-0 victory. The first inning for the Marines was almost a nightmare, with hits by Dartmouth, walks and errors account- ing for runs. Ware, Marine right fielder, was about the only one of the Quantico men who ‘could touch up Hollstrom's delivery, and he got three out of four.

However, the damage had n done and Navy could not get * enough runs to even the count, although it made a game effort in the sixth and seventh innings.

The card will start at 8:30 o'clock. INTERCITY BASKET BALL. SERIES HELD UNLIKELY It is almost a certainty that the pro- posed serics between various champion A. A. U. basket balt teams of Washing- ton and Baltimore will not materialize. Officials have been forced to post- pone, if not cancel, the series because of the refusal of the Arundel Boat Club quint, Baltimore champion, to meet Montrose A. C. five, Washington's un- limited title holder. The Arundel Club has announced that its team has played a hard league and tournament schedule and feels that it could not show to its best advantage this late in the season.

HE second cable match between London and Washington for the Insull trophy will be played next Saturday, April 12, between the hours of 9 am. and 2 pm. and 3 pm. and 7 pm., Washington time. The Washington team will play in the cabinet room of the Willard Hotel. The play will be open to the public and chess enthusiasts are invited to attend. The expenses of the cable match are to be born by voluntary subscriptions. Those wishing to participate in the fund should communicate with C. H. Mainhall at the City Club, or N. T. ‘Whitaker, 1006 F street northwest. Owing to the absence from the city of Norman T. Whitaker, captain of the ‘Washington team, no further definite information relative to the make-up of the team can be given at this time. The selcction of the team devolves on the team captain. It is believed that Whitaker, Turover, Miotkowski and Perkins, who played in the first match and all of whom drew their games, again will be select- ed. The remaining two places are to be filled, according to Whitaker, from Fox, Walker, Byler and Bishop. Fox did not play in the first match, but will be chosen if available. In case of his absence from the team, the remaining two pleces will be filled from Byler, Bishop and Walker. Byler's playing in the recent tour- nament showed him to be aggressive, able, well versed in the openings, ith good position judgment. He ap- pears to be at his best. Bishop also is well posted in the open- ings, has position judgment and is a good fighter, as shown in his game with Byler, Walker is not as well up on the modern openings, but is a good combination player and strong in end- game play. In the recent District tournament Byler wont from Walker, Walker won from Bishop and Bishop from Byler. Again, Byler won from -Walker, Walker won from A. Y. Hesse and A, Y. Hesse won from Byler. Which is the best player in these circles? Concerning these three players, the last issue of the City Club Tribune sa; “Walker's play was marked by fighting spirit throughout the tourna- ment, In fact, it was the veteran's never-say-die spirit that won his game | with Knapp and kept him within strik- distance of Byler, who led the pro- n until the last round, when he lost a viclous, hard-fought game to Bishop. Byler played some splendid chess and, lacking the complex that he is not a good tournament player. should ing _have won, In our opinion, he displayed more good chess than the other entries.

Any one W have picked up the answer The two courses at August both champoinship battlefields. , Forest-Ricker course is around 6,600 yards in length, often narrow and al- ways well trapped. There was no way of merely scraping out a good score. One had to keep hitting the ball with every club. Jones started with Gene Sarazen and A1 Espinosa, two fine golfers. He started with two 5;(.”’ But xlor kxhe ne)ét 31 holes de ook ragged. helzn:'u ‘eny o sce n this last double round why even a fine golfer might stumble and drop back. For, after start- ing with two 5s. Jones played the next 31 holes in 11 strokes under even 4s. He was putting for a birdle on prac- tically every hole. For these 31 consec- utive holes his tee shots were soaring from 260 to 280 yards down the middle, every type of iron was thumping the ball up around the pin, from a No. 1 to & mashie-niblick, and his putting over keen, sloping greens was remarkable, true and consistent. Just about all these qualities are needed if one is to play 31 holes in 11 under 4s, which is practically the same as 11 un- der par. An opponent not only has to be a great golfer to face this pace, but he must be a great golfer at the top crest of his game—a great golfer on a good day. Otherwise he will soon be melted by tHe terrific heat that is burn- ing up the course from wood and tron. Just good, average golf begins to look 100 puny, and in the effort to match this display a fine game might soon turn spotty and sour. a were ‘The Missouri Still Checks In. HORTON SMITH'S performance in this second meeting with Jones was much finer than it looked to be. In the first place, he had never seen either course. In the second place, he was finishing a hard week of all-day golf. On top of these handicaps he had to start at 7:30 a.m. the second day to fin- ish 36 holes before 2 o'clock, for a plane was waiting to take him North and cov- er the 400 miles before dark. Yet in the face of these trials and tribulations and handicaps the Missouri star led the professional fleld, which included such ranking stars as Johnny Farrell, Sarazen, Dudley, Turnesa, Es- pinoza, Whiffey Cox, Kerrigan, Burke, Manero, Cooper and many others who are well known in the upper flight. Smith’s New Niblick. MITH reported with a new type of niblick which caught the crowd's attention from the jump. It was a shallow-faced-looking instrument with a flange at the back and a curved, rounded bottom—a new invention by some Texas enthusiast. It proved to be a great club for chip- ping out of traps, traps that were not too deep. The ball came out much after the manner of a short chip and run, and it usually came out and stop- ped somewhere around the pin. It flicked through the sand easily, and as Smith handled it the club never failed. The tall Midwesterner proved lrltn that a golfer at last has come along who can match Jones at chipping and putting. Smith again showed the remarkable control and touch around the greens that has been such a factor in his con- sistent scoring. It was rare on any long approach putt from 40 to 70 feet away that he left himself more than a 2-footer for the cup, and this over keen greens with baffling slopes that he had never seen before. He has the inborn® instinct for touch that only a few have ever known — Travis, Travers, -Hagen and Jones, to name those at the top in this respect. The Joplin wanderer is hitting the ball easily and smoothly with both wood and iron, and if he doesn’t become over- golfed he. will have a much better chance abroad on his next attempt a trifle later on. Another Elimination. NLY a few weeks ago Tuffy Grif- fiths was picked as the man who might have beaten Sharkey at Miami. He was also picked as Sharkey's lead- ing American rivel. These things might have been true last week. But a young man by the name of Jack Gagnon has now removed a contender for some time to come. All of which shows that if these elim- inations are only continued long enollsh they will all be eliminated, which will about a badly complicated tangle.

D. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1930. This Year : Australian Net Team “Dark Horse” IN CHESS CIRCLES WILL DEPEND UPON YOUNG RACKETERS Crawford, Hopman, ' Moon and Willard Will Play in Cup Matches. BY VINCENT RICHARDS. This is the last of a series of stories in which the chances of countries other than the Uniled States in the Davis Cup competition this year have been analyzed. FTER a year'’s interlude, Australia is returning to the Davis Cup arena this season with a young team, which may be the dark horse of the international ties in Europe. Gerald Patterson has seen his best days, James Anderson is no longer in the amateur ranks, and Jack Hawkes seems to have fiused out of the picture, although awkes, I understand, still is play- ing first class tennis. The Aussies have decided to cut en- tirely with the past and put their re- liance in the upcoming young players, taking & tip from the French associa- tion. Before France rose to the top Australia was the strongest opponent of the United States and reached the A | challenge round in 1922, 1928 and 1924. In fact, from 1914 to 1925, Australia was in the challenge round every vear the matches were held except in 1921, when Japan was the opponent of the United States. Then, in 1925, France eliminated the Antipodeans due to the great play of Jean Borotra and since then the French and the United States have met in the challenge round. Have Played in United States. ‘The team representing Australia this year will be composed of Jack Craw- ford, 22-year-old captain; Harry Hop- man, Edgar F. Moon and Jack Willard. They are well known to American tennis fans, for they have played in the United States, competing in the big invitation tournament and national champion- ships. Crawford, a pretty stylist, is the best | player, and is regarded by some experts | as the coming brightest star in the world, though I am inclined to believe that he is not quite aggressive enough | or fast enough on his feet to get to| the top of the tennis heap. But there | is no denying he has beautiful form in the execution of his strokes, and when | he is “right” he is an exceedingly tough man to beat. Hopman is as fast as Crawford is leisurely. He has a fast service and is very active all over the court and plays more in the style of the young Ame! cans. He and Crawford make a crack doubles combination and both played on the 1928 Australian team. Moon. a powerful fellow known as “The Farm Hand,” has the endurance of an ox, and he has made great progress during the last three years, while Willard also rates among the best of the younger generation of In 1928 Australia was drawn Italy in the first round and was put D. el Schmeling’s Arrival 'AX SCHMELING will land back on American soil shortly, nccmd-‘ ing to the latest statement, and | there will be an immediate rush to see | | how the long German looks after his| long absence from direct fire. It has | been nearly a year now since Schmeling fought and won his last start and this is a dangerous interval for one who was just coming along. The general opinion a year ago was that Schmeling would beat Sharkey, | but even the German's leading sup- porters are now waiting to see how he shapes up in his training camp: how he steps around, punches and boxes. All of which may prove something, or it may prove nothing at all. A training camp work-out is nothing to bet a lot of money on. Tunney looked terrible in his training exhibitions be- fore he met Dempsey, but he was an entirely different Tunney when he stepped into the Philadelphia ring. It would be much simpler to figure out the situation if one could see Schmeling in action against some pretty good opponent. But no such risks' will be taken at this late date and the experts and on- lookers will have to fall back upon the big guess, no matter what the German's training stuff may show. Duke University gets Wallace Wade from Alabama, which indicates that Duke intends to be heard from in much louder tones after 1931 in a foot ball way. Wade was a big factor in'chang- ing the Crimson tide from a small stream into a rushing current and Duke happens to get one of the soundest system builders in the game. | You run into strange news as the days move along.

Both Patterson and Crawford fell before Baron de Mor- purgo. This match, however, was not a real test of the Australian piayers, for they had just traveled half way around the world and had not had time to be- come acclimated to get into form for s0 stiff a trial in their very first en- gagement. Will Be Watched, The showing of the Aussies this year will be watched with close interest, for there is a tendency to regard Australia as once morc the coming nation in the game. In fact, it would be no sur- prise to a great many people who know their tennis to see the Antipodians com through to the final of the Europea: zone and possibly meet the United States. Crawford will be dangerous in both his singles and he and Hopman will take a lot of beating in the doubles. So keep your eye on the Aussies. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Aliiance.)
