SPORTS. CAVALIERS FIEURE TONAKEADVANCES Driver Effects Order Out of Chaos—Competent Men Now Head All Sports: BY H. C. BYRD. NIVERSIJY OF VIRGINIA people have about come to the conclusion that they now have managing and coaching their reorganized system of intercollegiate athletics a group of men unsurpassed in any other university in the South. In fact, it probably would not be stretch- ing the situation any to enlarge the territory thus covered to in- clude the entire East, so confident are the Old Dominion alumni and students in the ability of their leaders. As one of them said this morning: *“We have abcut com- gleted our reorganization, are in ne shape, and just watch us move ahead.” At the head of Virginia athletics, of course, is Jimmie Driver, and it been his problem to evolve from the chaotic state he found when he took charge a well ordered system. It has not been an easy task, despite the fact that Dr. Alderman, president of the university, has given him whole-hearted help. Finding men to coach athletic teams is not an easy task, even when a school has plenty of money with which to pay high salaries, as can be attested by all those that know the situation in the colleges. RIVER, at the head of athletics at Virginia, is exceptionally cap- able. Likable, a fine personality, he has with these assets real ability as 8 business man. Driver knows what he wants and how to go after it, and nearly always he attains his objective. Virginia’s _organization right now lines up with very competent men at the head of each sport. Fred Dawson, generally recognized everywhere as one of the country’s best foot ball coaches, is to_coach the gridiron squad. Daw- son it was who, as head coach at Ne- braska, gave Notre Dame a couple of He has as his "assistants backfield coach, and “Butch” Slaughter, line coach. Tebell came from Wisconsin and Slaughter from Michigan. Tebell was head coach at North Carolina State and Slaughter his assistant before they took the jobs at Virginia. Gus Welch, former Car- lisle Indian quarterback and head coach at Randolph-Macon, is to have charge cf the ressrves in foot ball and be chief scout. This makes a line-up to handle foot ball that stands out for its ability in every detail. 'EBELL is to coach basket ball and base’ ball. as he has been doing successfully elsewhere for years. He unquestionably is one of the best men handling basket ball #h the East, and he also can do a good job on the diamond. Gus Welch, besides being assistant in foot ball, will coach the lacrosse team. The twelve was last year by Dr. Voshell, whose duties as a member of the faculty really did not allow him to give the time to lacrosse he would have liked ive.” “To him, however, 5 the credit for ‘:22 m'flnl‘e;er ‘work. Was necessary 4o .ge sport at , and it will be ‘Welch's job to build.on the foundation Dr. Voshell laid. <= Archie Hahn, o Jimmie Driver characterizes as oné of the finest fel- lows he has ever met, will coach the track squad agd #et as trainer for the foot ball team. “ Actually Hahn has been working for nearly a year at Virginia and thinks he is getting somewhere in developing some real athletes. As a matter of fact, when Hahn found that Virginia would not be esble to get a place on Navy's dual meet schedule this coming Spring because Navy's schedule was in such shape it could not make the necessary- changes, he asked Driver to get in touch with Maryland to find out if the dual meet between Navy and Maryland at College Park on May 2 could be made a triangular af- fair, with Virginia the third team. That arrangement was effected, Navy very | courteously giving assent. Hahn there- by gets what he wants—a chance to beat Navy. And if Hahn thinks he has developed a squad good enough to whip N;;]\' then he must have a team worth while. Virginia alumni especially are show- ing enthusiasm about the reorganized system at Charlottesville. In one way or anothey an attempt has been made at times to create an impression that Virginia people do not care whether or not their teams are victors, but such is far from representing the true fact. Graduates of the Old Dominion school | take just as much pride—a little more, if anything—in the successes attained by their school as the graduates of other universities. Virginia has not been saying much, but hes been doing 2 good deal of wood sawing, determin- ed to reorganize its affairs into such shape that it may take its place in the front ranks in intercollegiate athletics as well as in other things. F the weather permits, Catholic Uni- versity and Maryland will get out this afternoon to begin Spring foot ball practice. The Brooklanders are due to take out the entire squad they wil] have available for next Fall, while Maryland is to have in togs only mem- bers of last season's freshman squad and the varsity men who are not tak- ing part in regular Spring sports. Catholic University intends t> run its | practice about 10 weeks, while Mary- land has not set any quitting time, al- though it will not run anything like as long as the Brooklanders Dorsey Griffith, coach of the Catholic | University track team and manager of the indcor track games, was a proud chap at the finish of the meet Sai- urday night and had every right to be Not only did he put on a highly suc- cessful affair, but his men took the open events trophy and two relay races from the University of Maryland. It was a b.g night for Catholic University, a testi- monial to Griffith’s ability as a coach and as a manager. The Brookiand school made no mistake when it got Griffith into its athletic organization, and as time goes on he should play a big part in the success that undoubtedly lies in the future. ST)UTCH” BERGMAN, foot ball coach at Catholic U., is not one of those that think Spring foot ball is harmful in any sense. Having had his_gridiron experience at Notre Dame, Bergman naturally leans to Spring practice, but he has some views about it that are rothing if nct com- mon sense. Says Bergman: “It seems peculiar to me that some ple howl about overemphasis on foot m\ because we have Spring practice and at the same time cry for more general athletics to bring more boys | into competitive sports. Spring foot | ball gives from 50 to a hundred men development of this kind and takes| them out into the open in competitive | athletics when they would not be out | were it not for the Spring drills,| ©Of course, it can be overdone, fust as| anything else can be; it is simply a| problem of administretion in each uni- | vVersity to see that it is not.

Eastern, Central and St. John's have chief hanors. In the ;l.lb high school group Eastern and Central tied for the flag, there was little difference in strength -t;n-‘lm' them ;d Tech. 1In Cent gained place deadlock as thé result of a forfeit awarded it over Tech because of the latter's use of an ineligible player. Western and Business also showed plenty, but the latter was handicapped in the late of the title series by the loss of Bobby Lucas, its ace. . St. John’s has come forward with a rush after a mediocre start. The Kay- det’s two wins over Gonzaga have J\utl about established them .as the class of the prep school group. St. Albans also has had a fine season, while George- town Prep has done rather well. Emer- son has had its worst campaign in years, as has Devitt, while the remaining prep school quints on the whole have not shown much. Landon and St. John's quints are | slated to face in the Epiphany Church | gymnasium tomorow afterncon at | o'clock in the last secheduled game of | the scholastic court season hereabout.” TICKNOR FdND OF GRID Urge to Play Again. Ben Ticknor, Harvard's great center, isn't glad he has finished his foot ball ;clreer, He says: “Of course, during a hard season the strain_does get a bit heavy and right now I'm a bit relieved the season is over. But within another 10 days I know I'll be wishing I could get back into the game again. The mental strain is no greater than in base ball.” B R, ORIENTALS RING STARS.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer, ¢ HAMPAIGN, 1, March 98— Track and field stars from the Midwest, South and East will come to Champaign next Sat- urday to continue their attack on rec- ords in the fourteenth renewal of the University of Illinois relay carnival. The event, one of the classics of the indoor season, will include four relays for universities, the 1-mile, 2-mile, mediey and 4-mile; a mile relay, med- ley and 2-mile event for colleges, and an open 320-yard high hurdle shuttle relay. Special events are the 75-yard dash, 75-yard high and low hurdles, 300-yard dash, 1,000-yard run, 1,500- meter run, broad jump, high jump, pole vault and shotput. One of the most attractive events will be the all-around championship largely because Pennsylvania's great Barney Berlinger will attempt to win 1t for the third straight year. Set Record Last Year. Berlinger last year set & rec: of 6,070 points and with competif is figured capable of establishing a mark that will stand for a long time.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE By WALTER HANGES being made in the lay- out of the Princess Anne Coun- try Club, where the champion- ship tourney of the Middle At~ lantic Golf Association will be played June 4, 5 and 6, will stiffen up that course considerably and in the opinion of the chairman of the Greens Com- mittee will make it a stroke or two harder for the golfing gents of Wash- ington and surrounding territory who g0 there early next Summer to com- pete for the premier sectional title about the Capital. The course at present is 6,208 yards long, without a great many traps to catch a ball off the line. In the future, as in the past, the main hazard at Princess Anne will be the columns of tall pine trees which flank the fair- ways on almost every hole of the course. But to this hazard, which is almost certainly a lost stroke if the ball into the woods, will the coming Spring something like 15 new traps, placed around the putting greens to make the l&%mlches far more difficult and add a stroke or two to the scoring. Detalls of the trapping plan for the course on which the cham- plonship will be played were revealed today by 8. Y. ddy, chairman of the Princess Ann Greens Committee, 'HE first hole—a par 5 affair of 487 yards—will be considerably stiffened by traps at the right and left of the green. The green can be reached wif two spanking wooden club shots, but it takes two real wal- lops to get home. Heretofore the put- ting green has been wide open, but Priddy explains that it will be trapped on bcth sides. Into the face of the green at the fourth hole other traps are to be built, while the sixth hole will be stiffened by the construction of a trap at the right side of the green. The seventh hole, where Walter Hagen took a !231 an open tourney, will not be changed. It is a difficult par 3. But the long eighth will be trapped at the green to make the approach harder. No changes are to be made in the ninth and tenth, but into the face of the green at the eleventh will be built a pair of traps laid out like steps to make necessary a pitch shot across the road- way to the putting surface. The thir- teenth hole, one of the best drive and pitch holes on the layout, also will be trapped at the green. No er changes are to be made until the six- teenth, which is a par 5 affair of 476 yards and can be reached with two well hit wooden shots. A big trap is to go in at the right side of the green, similar to the one on the left. The last two holes will remain as they are, consti- tuting two strong finishing holes. seventeenth is a drive and pitch and ;—he eighteenth a drive and & medium ron. ACK in 1921 the Princess Anne Country Club, then quite new, held the Middle Atlantic title event over In those days the brush had not been cleared out along the edges of the fairways, and to go into the woods meant not only to lose a hio | stroke, but frequently to lose the ball.

The putting greens are of ample size and will hold well hit pitch shots. The fairways at Princess e, sown to juda grass, are usually excellent and will be at their best in June, ac- cording to Priddy. Princess Anne will entertain two big iplonships this year, for on the after the Mid- atlantic event the women’s southern championship will be played over the Vi ia Beach course.
