. Jofies Dominates Go QUITS COMPETITION " WITH GRAND SLAN Glenna Collett Keeps Wom- en’s Title—Sarazen Tops Pro Brigade. T is extremely doubtful if golfers will ever see another year such as 1930. Dwarfing everything else in importance was the performance of Robert Tyre Jones, jr., in capturing the four championships of the season, the first and only “grand slam” the game ever has known or ever again may know, the British open and amateur and the United States open and amateur. Add- ing the final touch of drama came the announcement from Jones in- dieating that he had selected the moment of his quadruple con- quest to retire from competitive golf. If nothing else of consequence had occurred, the aura attending the ris- ing to its szenith of the sun of the brilliant Atlantan would have been more than sufficient to etch the drop curtain of the 1930 season in the most flamboyant coloring. Opening his campaign at Hoylake in the British amateur championship, Jones steadily fought his way to the k through round after round of E:n-nre-unl matches. From the first to last he had to fight, or, at least, until he had cut his way clear of the 18-hole matches and found him- self at last in the final with Roger ‘Wethered. Strongest bulwark of British goifing m though Wethered may once have , he proved no match for Jones over 36 holes. Only the first nine holes actually were close. After the turn in the morning Jones piled up such & margin on the incoming holes as to make the second round merely a for- mality. Voigt Gives Jones Scare. It was George Voigt, scratch player of the Metropolitan Golf Association and former Washington resident. who gave Jones one of his hardest battles of the British amateur. The pair met in the semi-final. Facing defeat as he teed up for the last five or six holes, the Atlantan finally eked out victory on the home green. ‘There was something of a coincidence, %00, in the fact that in the British open champlonship two players from his native 'land chased Jones home. The pair who no more than failed to make the grade were Macdonald Smith of Lakeville and Leo Diegel, attached to the Agua Caliente Club. Later, in the United States open, Smith came within two strokes of tying Jones for the title. tle. < For his third major tournament suc- cess Jones can thank a round of which he sprang upon his advetsaries round of the play at the lis—this cut down the margin all save two strokes by one of the best rearguard actions seen in years. ‘That tournament at Minneapolis was marked by perhaps the most torrid weather in which the open champion- &hip ever has been conducted. Jones got that brilliant round of 68 in the yht spot, for he was feeling the effects the hot weather on his last 18 holes and his play then was decidedly ragged. Had Bobby taken three putts instead of one from near the edge of ‘home lnenmsmlth would have abreast of him. However, as in British open, Jones’ fortune held. The door in both events was open for those who pursued, but such was the tension that neither at home nor abroad eould the professionals quite cateh up. Jones Takes Amateur Easily. ‘With three of the four championships n his hands Jones still had the Ameri- | can amateur to win to attain his goal. | Because of the fact that he was de- feated in the first round of last year's amateur at Pebble Beach, Bobby was considered by many to run a good | ¢hance of taking the count in the 18- hole rounds at Merion. All fears ed to be groundless, however, for Jones never had an easier time winning & title. Defeating the Canadian cham- C. Ross Somerville, handsomely the opening round, Jones passed the two 18-hole rounds easily, and also won with consummate ease in the subsequent three matches of 38 holes. Altogether Jones ‘beat his five oppo- nents by 33 up—this in two 18-hole and three 36-hole matches, In the | semi-final Bobby squared a long- | standing account by - defeating Jess | Sweetser of New York by 9 and 8, and | he was little less severe against Eugene | Homans in the final. This latter | bracket he won by 8 up and 7 to play. | Sweetser had beaten Jones in the na- tional amateur champlonship of 1922 by a score of 8 and 7. Miss Colleit Wins Again. Completing his competitive career | with 13 major championships to his credit, Jones left a record that prob- ably never will be touched Miss | Qlenna Collett, however, apparently does not feel that such a string of con- quests is entirely beyond her reach, even if she can never expect to win | more than the British and United States women's in any one season. At Los Angeles this year Miss Collett | cut the fifth noteh in her mashie by | successfully defending the title won the | previous season at Detroit. And for| the second time since 1928 Miss Collett overwhelmed Miss Virginia Van Wie of | Chicago in the final. Sarazen Tops Pro Brigade. Gene Saragen of New York won most | of the money among the professionals, | getting start by taking first prize | money of $10,000 in the $25000 Agua | Caliente open, but Tommy Armour of | Detroit won the most glory. The “Black Scot” carried off the Pro- fessional Golfers' championship, the Canadian open, and helped his purse bagging first prize money in the $10,000 St. Louis open.

FOT BALL CLIVBS ASSPORTFORALL 1930 Sets Record for Com- petition, Interest and Number of Players. HE foot ball season of 1930 sur- passed all others in widespread competition and in public in- terest. The number of students, college, preparatory school and high school, far exceeded the total for any other year. In the colleges the en- couragement of junior varsity 150- pound and scrub teams added many participants. While the total number of spectators in many of the large in- stitutions, especially in the Middle ‘West, dropped from the peak figures of 1929, there was no dropping cff in the interest or the attendance of the tra- ditional contests. ‘The season witnessed & decided swing toward the forward pass as a major offensive weapon in the game. Teams tended to lay over-stress on the attack or defense and in many instances there was not the balance between the two which is most desired in & well balanced foot ball team. Schedules Are Longer. ‘There was the usual public clamor and tumult over intersectional contests and there was a tendency toward longer and harder schedules. The game, as during the last few seasons, was in- flated beyond its normal importance and academic influences are striving to bring it back to A sane basis. The typically American desire for ons and championships was again _rampant and the country has been flooded with all-star players and all-star teams. The outstanding team, as in 1929, was Notre Dame. It played 68 |the most difficult schedule and came through undefeated. The South Bend foot forces of 1830 stood high among the best that the gane has de- veloped. Co-ordination of efort and spirited aggressivenvss were prominent assets of this successful team, Game Better Understood. Followers of the game each year are coming in closer touch with the sport and the recodification of the foot ball rules has made many of its finer com- ications more understandable. The game becomes faster in execution each season And the last year found more intelligent foot ball pisyed than usual. As a college sport it es its place at the top of all games, not only for its advantages in physical development of the players, but as & sport of strategy and virile sportsmanship. ‘While Notre Dame was generally re- garded as the country’s best team, there also were many high-powered teams which Notre Dame did not play. The matter of determining the coun- try's best team is, of course, & matter of opinion. The best team on the Pa- cific Coast was Washington BState. Michigan and Northwestetn shared the honors among the Big Ten, while Alabama and Tulane were the best in the Southern Conference. Utah was anked first in the Rocky Mountain Conference, Kansas in the Big Bix and IM‘Untv!rsfl.y of Texas in the South- west, Army Meets Navy. ‘West Point and Annapolis played for the first time in three years, Lhe game be arranged by Washington authori- tes for charity. Army, with 0. ' of the best of the Eastern teams, m the game. The contest, however, brought the service academies no closer to ce- menting thelr broken athletic relations. The situation among Eastern college teams was unusual, inasmuch as there Wwas no outstanding team, but several teams of marked efficiency. Fordham, Army and Dartmouth all had good foot ball teams. Colgate lost only one game on its schedule, to Michigan State, a team not in its own section. Army's only defeat was was a 7-t0-8 contest against Notte Dame, the best of the achievements against the strong South Bend organization. Fordham lost none of its games to Eastern rivals, its only defeat in two seasons coming in the game with St Mary’s of California. Dartmouth lost to no Eastern rival, bowing only to Stan- fort at Palo Alto. Ancient Rivalry Maintained. The traditional games of the East were, as always, high moments of the Eastern season. he Yale-Princeton game, for instance, proved to be one of the year's best contests, in spite of the fact that Princeton, up to -hat game, has experienced, its most unsatistactory season in years. Yale was a decided fa- vorite, but the Elis were fortunate to win against the serappy, inspired Tiger team, 10 to 7. A week later a Harvard team which had suffered cefeat after defeat rose to its highest peak to defeat Yale. Willlams cartied off the honors in the Little Three competition between Am- herst, Wesleyan and Williams, a series which furnishes a found of true inter- collegiate athletic controversy which comes close to the ideal. New York University’s team just missed the mark in its important con- tests. Columbia foot ball made a new #ll‘l with a major victory over Cornell. he traditional game bétween Lehigh and Lafayette was won by Lafayette. ‘There was an abundance of intersec. tional ga during the season, coi tests which aroused public interest to high pitch.

C, DECEMBER 28 1930—PART F LEADERS IN VARIOUS LINES OF ATHLETIC ENDEAVOR IN PAST TWELVE MONTHS BILLY ARNOLD DUAL AUTO RACING CHAMP Youthful Chicago Driver Wins 500-Mile as Well as National Speed Title. ‘The 1030 automobile racing season saw the rise of Billy Arnold, 23-year- ) old Chicago driver. both the 500-mile Indianapolis Speed- way race on Memorial day, as well as the national speed championship. In both cases he was followed by “Shorty” Cantlon of Detroit. Arnold won the sreed championship by piling up 10275 points in e eight meetings, and Cantlon amassed 653. In the Memorial day race Arnold led the fleld from the start, and before a huge crowd of 170,000 persons drove over the finish line several minutes ahead of Cantlon. The race at In- dianapolis was marked by a series of accidents and smash-ups, only 14 of the 38 starters finishing. Louis Schnei- der was third, Lou Meyers fourth and William Cummings fifth. With the new types of cars prescribed late in 1929 came new champions, and the standing for 1930 shows many new names. Some well in front last year are either far behind or off the list entirely, and some who ranked twelfth to twentieth in 1020 are found among the first 10 for 1930, In the dirt track races Wilbur Shaw won the 100-mile event at Toledo and William Cummings the race of the same distance at Syracuse. There were no speed trials to speak of which could rival the efforts of Sir Henry Segrave in 1929, but Kaye Don set a new American record for the five-mile route at Daytona Beach, Fla., in March, when he traversed the | 1:58.715, an average o(‘ distance in 151.623.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE By WALTER R. McCALLUM over a water soaked course last Janu-| ary. On January 3 and 4 will be held the amateur-pro best ball tournament at Santa Monica with prizes totaling $1,500. ‘The motion picture industries are playing around with the idea of holding a match play tournament the third week in January, whose -prize money, if the tourney is held, probably will total $10.000 or more. ‘That event will wind up the California season, and the pros will then move on to Texas, where the San Antonio open, with $6,000 in money prizes, awaits them, beginning Febtuary 1. Then will come the Har- linger open with 3,500 and there are two tournaments pending during the balance of E‘ebrum;{ Florida has scheduled a flock of open tournaments, but with the exception of the La Gorce, with its $15,000 prize money, none of them come up to the standard in prizes of the California open events. The Florida season runs through February and most of March, and here is the list of tournaments al- ready scheduled: Pensacola _open. $3.000: St. Petersburgh open, $1500; Orlando open, $3,500; La Goroe, $15.- 000. Then comes the North and South open at Pinehurst, with $6,500 in cold cash, on March 26 and 27, and the Boutheastern gpen, at Augusta, with prize money totaling $5.000. Bob Harlow, who runs the tourna- ment bureau 61 the P. G. A., has been rather busy for the past two or three months fixing up events, but there is ho doubt there has been some dissen- sion in the matter of paying 10 ger cent of tHe net prize money to the bu- reau before the tourney is played. How- ever, Albert R. Gates. business adminis- trator of the P. G. A, Is backing Har- low to the limit and denies that the erstwhile manager of Walter Hagen is through. Gates has come out with a statement that the situation regarding the 10 per cent will be eliminated, and expenses incurred through operation of the bureau will be taken.care of in some other way, Harlow is working hard, and if the tournaments which are pending are ac- tually held the professionals, through the whole Winter season, will have had something like $130,000 to shoot at. Four or five years ago, when the La Goree open, with its $15,000 ptize money, was announced, people gasped at the amount. But nowadayvs the La Gorce is only one of thrée big events, and the minor tournaments are boost- ing the ante, too. The professionals, after all, do not have a bad time of it, even though it costs considerable money to tonr the country and play golf. If an individual wins first money in any of the tournaments, he is assured of his expenses, and if he is consistently in the first five or six, as Horton Smith was last Winter, he will show a nice r&o:b.

RACK and field sports had a dis- tinguished career in this, & mid- Olympic year in which athletics are presumed to be most quiet. There was no lessening of interest in schools, colleges and clubs. Men and women athletes, in their endless con- flict with Father Time and the record books, harvested a large crop of new standards. The competitive calendar was fea- tured by an international meet bétween the United States and the British Em- | pire, the first of the Anglo-American track and fleld series to be held on this side. Presented under floodlights in Chicago's Soldier Field, on August 27, the games attracted 45,000, 4 record at- tendance. America maintained its su- premacy, conquering the British, nine events to five. Ever on top in the fleld eévents, America made a clean sweep of all six _contests in the weights and jumps. The calibér of the competition all year was reflected in this meet, in which eight mest records were shat- tered, thé majority by Americans. Outdoor Campaign Prolonged. The colorful international duel pro- longed the outdoor cam beyond its usual early July closing. meet with the British was made the year's ob- jective, and the National A. A. U, cham- plonships were moved back to late August. Among the record achievements of 1030 undoubtedly the most significant were the 100-yard sprints of Frank ‘Wykoff, Bouthern California soptomore, who twice ran the “century” in 9 2-5 seconds without sta blocks or aid of wind. His startling feats, moreover, were recognized as official, and the blond Californian thus becorés the first “Ninie-two” sprinter in history. George Simpson of Ohio State ran 100 yards in 9 2-5 seconds in 1929, bt he useéd starting blocks, Which weré disap- proved by the International Amateur Athletic Federation in May. Wvkoff did not compete in the na- tional ehampionships, but he. désérves ranking as the No. 1 speed d>mon of 1930, for he won all the big 100-yard varsity championships from the Aflan- tie to the Pacific. Simpson was only slightly behind Wykoff at 100, and.was the fastest furlong man in the country, setting an N. C. A. A. mark of 20 7-10 seconds and an A. A. U. mark of 21 3-10 | seconds (for 220 yards around & tum). Jessup Sets Discus Record. Paul Jessup, University of Washing- ton giant, who made & world discus | record of 169 feet 87 inches (beating 163 feet five times in the nationals): Jimmy DeMers of the Los Angeles A C., who set an American javelin fec- ord of 222 feet 63 inches, and Her- man Brix of the Los Angelés A. C. who pushed the American shotput rec- ord up to 52 feet 5% inches, were other outstanding athletes of 1930. Harlow Rothert of Stanford ranked almost on A par with Brix in shotputting. He was | the college king, creating new I. C. A. |A. A A and N. C. A. A. standards of 52 feet 1 inch and 52 feet 13, inches. Steven Anderson of the University of | Washington, for thrés years America’s | premier hurdler, concluded his amateur career in 1930 with a series of brilliant | performances that places him at the ?up of the timber-toppers of all time. He equaled the world record of 14 2-5 seconds for the 120-yard high hurdles on both sides of the Atlantic. He was without a peer, Ralph Hill of Oregon was given credit for a néw American mile record of 4:12 2-5, though he never has won a major race. Reginald Bowen of Pitt Froved the year’s finest quarter-miler hrough his triumphs here -and in Eu- rope, thotigh he lost his national cham- pionship to Vic Williams. Chapman College Half-Mile King. Russell Chapman of Bates, winning the intercollegiate 880 in 1:52 2-5; Ed- win Gehunf of Washington winning the national 880 in 1:532-5 and then beating Thomas Hampson, the British Empire champion (1:52 1-5), on the final leg of the international relay; George Bullwinkle of C. C. N. Y., fun- ning & front race to win the intercol- legiate mile in 4:18 4-5, the Harvard mile relay (Vincent Henniessey, Francis Cummings, Vernon Munroe and Eu- gene Record) that made a world in- door tecord of 3:20 3-5; Dr. Paul Mar- tin of Switzerland, who gave interna- ‘ional flavor to the indoor season and woh the national ‘1,000-yard title in 2:12 3-5, and Ray Conger, unbeatén in the mlle, all were headliners in somie of the year's stirring episodes of the cin- derpath and board track. Many titles changed hands. The year produced a woman sprinter sensation as well in Miss Stella Walsh of Cleveland, who is the fastest speed- ster her sex has developed. She smashed records everywheré from Dal- 1as to Prague. Intércollegiate supremacy in the sport was retained by the Pacific Coast, with | Southern California regaining the hon- ofs héld- for the past three years by Stanford. Il DOEE, WOOD, VINES AND ALLISON STAR Helen Moody Still Queen of Courts, but Betty Nuthall Is Climbin F any one had predicted, on or about January 1, 1930, that in the course of a year Henrl Cochet would be beaten in straight sets by Wilmer Allison and that Johnny Doeg would win the national singles title after de- feating Bill Tilden, astute tennis followers would have registered amazement. Yet these were the outstanding indi- vidual feats in & busy season that saw the United States lose the Wightman Cup to England’s feminine stars and fail again to recover the Davis Cup from Prance. The development of & surprising crop of potential Davis Cup material pro- vided an optimistic note. Tilden, after brilliant campaign abroad, gave signs of slipping, but such youngsters as Dnt Prank Shields, 8idney Wood, Cliff Sul ter, Bryan Grant and Ellsworth Vines showed great improvement Helen Wills Moody still reigns as the unchallenged queen of the world's courts aithough she defaulted her American title after winning in g Again the French and English championships. Betty Nuthall Scores. Il health kept Helen Jacobs from competing at Forest Hills and Betty Nuthall of England came through stc- cessfully in the absence of this country's first and second, ranking stars. Paired with Sarah Palftey, blond Betty added the doubles title. Not even the magic racquet of Queen Helen could keep the English from win- ning the Wightman Cup on their home soil at Wimbledon. Engund captured the trophy by four matches to three when Mrs. Kitty Mc- Kane Godfree and Mrs. Phoebe Watson defeated America’s two Helens in the final match. = Betty Nuthall was con- sidered not good enough to make the English team.
