Too much success is bad. It's a poor habit to get iniw—winning all the games. If you keep on winning the alumni will not have anything to talk about.

EW YORK, January 16.—Infor- mation received by the writer makes for confidence that Mrs. Helen Wills Moody will not only be placed No. 1 in the first flight of woman players by the Ranking Com- mittee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, but that she will also head the international list. ‘The feeling has been thai since Mrs. Moody saw fit temporarily to retire from national tournament tennis after her return from abroad, not defending her title in 1930 at Forest Hills—it was won by Betty Nuthall of England—she would be ignored by the tennis rankers. Deserves Ranking. But she is so obviously and by so great a margin the greatest tennis player of her sex in the world that failure to rank her in the position that is hers beyond all argument would be nothing short of gross injustice to one who has served the interests of the sport of lawn tennis valiantly and with tinction. m'IAll the chances are that Mrs. Moody will be found playing tennis on the Riveria in the early Spring and that she will be the dhg‘n(é(lve figure, man voman, at Wimbledon. “J:h:‘ Doeg, the national singles champion, is keeping himself fit this Winter by playing squash racquets at an athletic club in New Jersey, which State, by the way, he is now working hard on the advertising stafl of a prominent newspaper.
