EW YORK, January 1—Big Bill Tilden—professional tennis champion—that was the possi- bility that faced tennis fans to- day with the announcement of the s move in Big Bill's retirement. thot he had left the amateur ranks in order to make motion pictures in which tennis would play a big part, yesterday announced his intention of meeting Karel Kozeluh, famous Czechoslovakian professional, in & special match in Madison Square Gtarden in February. Although one match by no means| would make Tilden a champion among the pros no matter what its outcome might be, the fans who were saddened tthelouofumnolurnunzureolmu Bill from the tournament courts took hope that i m&ht lead to a series of such matches the country and eventually, Ezrhlps. to his regular competition in the professional tourna- ments along with Kozeluh and ‘Vincent Richards. Tilden, however, was inclined to put a damper on such hopes, g he would have time for only the one match before his departure for Hollywood. That the match is a tennis “natural” few fans who have scen the two stars in action will deny. Tilden, although no longer in his prime as a player, acknowledged as the “old ‘master” of the courts in skill and generalship, while Kogeluh, also a veteran, is able to beat younger players regularly by the same skill. Spring Practice. HERE are two sharp divisions among foot ball coaches about Spring practice. One group not only favors it but also feels that a e-rtain perccntage of the student bedy wonts it for one of the Spring diversions. The other group belleves that few students want foot ball in the Spring and most of them come out under pressure, The fact is that different conditions exist at different universities. In the East there is a big chance that foot ball in an organized way will soon rasuout It will be dropped by many Eastern teams, but in the West, thehrwmcnndthzscth'.hera'm be no such movement this Spring, al- A come from the student bodies.

Howard Campbell recently was signed to roll anchor and singles. Jack Wolstenholme originally was scheduled to pair with Harvison, Tem- ple teammate of Rosenberg, Tato and Frisk, veterans of the game, but with so much at stake in the match Hofenmaler obtained Rosenberg. Rosenberg, a veteran, will give to Harrison the same confidence and cool- ness under the pressure that Campbell contributes to the team as anchor man. When_the Rosenberg-Harrison duo oppose Frisk and Tato it will be a “rubber” match.

BY JOHN L. G GRIFFITH, | Commicsioners of Athletics for Western Conference. HICAGO, January 1 ®.— The past year, viewed from the angle of athletics in the schools and colleges, has been a highly gratifying one. The building programs in most of the educational institutions have gone on uninterruptedly in spite of business conditions. The tendency today is along the lines of mass competition. In most of our universities students who are subnormal physically are cared for in the ortho- pedic departments. The recreative needs of the student body are con- served by the intramural departments and the superior athletes are served through the medium of the intercolleg.- ate athletic departments. More, Equipment Helps. Only In the institutions where phys- ical education and athletics are com- pulsory are all of the students enrollcd in courses of this sort. In the others, however, an attempt is being made constantly to arouse the interest of those who are not athletically inclined. It is easier today to persuade the aver- age student that he should engage in athletic recreation activities of one sort or another than was formerly the case, because now the equipment provided him is more adequate than formerly. ‘The attendance at the foot ball games throughout the United States possibly fell 10 per cent. The receipts, how- ever, for 1930 are in excess of the re ceipts of 1928. The falling off in tendance has, for the most part, been in the general public sections. The students and faculty have attended the games this year in about the same pro- portion as formerly. The general pessimism, which is a result of ‘dissatisfaction with the pres- ent financial and political conditions in the United States, has, to a certain ex- tent, pervaded the colle ‘The cynical writers for a number of years have in- sisted that our college cpam have beex unduly commercialized.
