SPORTS., FIRST FIVE TIMES IN TITLE REGATTA Also Has Been Second Twice. “sand” Main Requirement, Says Veteran Tutor. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, June 12—In the N 28 years that Jim Ten Eyck has been coaching at Syra- cuse the Salt City.sweep- swingers have won five varsity races at Poughkeepsie. They won first in 1904, then in 1908, next in 1913 and then twice in succession in 1916 and in 1920, when the re- gatta went back to the Hudson after the war. In that period the Orange has twice finished run- ner-up. This at first glance would not appear to be much of a record over a period of more than quarter of & century. But the fact is that it is a very fine record. No other university which will row over the 4-mile course on the Hudson next Wednesday has as good a one, with the exception, of course, of Cornell. Ten Eyck is always a coach that has to be watched by rival teachers. One never knows when he will send an eight to the line qualified to beat the world. This year there is more than a suspicion that his varsity crew is groomed to turn in an extraordinary plece of rowing. How He Picks Oarsmen. Ask Ten Eyck how he picks his men and you get no high-falutin’ talk about type and style and other technical things. “Sand first,” he SE{L “What means courage, fighting spirit. Then physique. It isn't the stroke; it's the man and don't you forget that.” When you talk about, retiring men for age in the middle sixties, look at Jim Ten Eyck. They [speak of the father of the Columbia coach as “Old Dick” Glendon. But th¢ Navy mentor is probably young enough to be Eyck's son. You cannot get any exact line upon the veteran coach's age. “Youth is as youth does,” he says, in shrugging away hinted questions as to his years. No one about the Hudson is now alive who remembers Jim Ten Eyck in his youth, and so any attempt to get at his exact age must be pure speculation. Examination of sporting data, however, places him at more than 80. For there is the record that in December of 1917 he “celebrated his seventieth birthday” by rowing from New York to Albany, a distance of 150 miles. Is Born River Man. . Trrespective of age, Ten Eyck is as much a part of the Hudson as the hills and trees that line its banks. A man like Ten Eyck in some subtle way ex- resses the great stream upon which e has spent his life, and so did his father and his grandfather before him. Even when Ten Eyck was coaching at Syracuse his father, at 85, was oper- ating & row boat ferry from the State Militia Camp at Peekskill to the West Shore of the river and back. Ten Eyck himself was & sculler. He held the half-mile sculls record for years, and, indeed, may hold it now. And he was the father of a diamond sculls winner and a three-time national single sculls champion. He an coaching at the Navy in 1900, there until 1902, when he went Arundel Boat Club at Baltimore. Call- ed to Syracuse in 1903, when Ed Sweet- land, the former Cornell athlete. went to Ohio State to teach foot ball, Eyck has been there ever since. sm; cuse confidently expects to see coaching at 90. Penn Shakes Up Crew. By the Associated Press. FOUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 12— One of the biggest shake-ups in the history of Poughkeepsie’s rowing train- ing camp history has struck the Penn- sylvania varsity. Only five days before the inter- collegiate champlonship, Coach Rusty Callow yesterday lfted four men out of the first boat, Cadwalader, Taylor, Sebastlan ana Schwartz, and replaced them with Eustis, Davis, Curtis and Callow said he was convinced the Quaker eight as originally boated lacked the stamina for the 4-mile championship race.

N'W YORK, June 12.—Britain's Ryder Cup golf team has em- barked for America with the banal expressions of confi- “I say, without hesitation, I'm sure we shall win,” sald Samuel Ryder, donor of the team match trophy, burning his verbal bridges behind him. ‘When applied to a variable game lke golf such unequivocal assurance is ridiculous. Even admitting that the British golf team is inherently stronger than ours, which it isn't, Ryder's cocksuredness would be un- justified. You can't be sure of any- g in golf. The Scotch game does not run to form, or rather form cannot be reduced to a fixed equa- tion. Compston or Sarazen will break 70 one day and barely shade 80_the next. In tennis Ryder's dogmatic as- sertion might not be unwarranted. Form on the courts can be appraised with extreme nicety. If beat.

ANOTHER GOLF PRIZE WON BY HELEN HICKS Captures Women’s Eastern Title by Defeating Mrs. Hurd by . 5 Strokes in Play-off. By the Associated Press. ROSLYN, N. Y., June 12.—One more golfing prize has fallen into the pos- session of Helen Hicks, Long Island girl, cne of the longest drivers in women's ranks. Miss Hicks captured the women's Ten | mastern title from Mrs. Dorothy Camp- bell Hurd of Philadelphia, a former na- tional champion, by five strokes in the 18-hole play-off of the tie in which they finished the regular 5¢ holes of the championship. Miss Hicks gained a seven-stroke lead on the first nine hcles, which she cov- ered in 38, two under women's par for the Engineers’ Country Club course, but she lost all but two of these at the eleventh and twelfth holes, where she used up 13 strokes. She pulled herseif together, however, halved the thirteenth and clinched the match at the fourteenth, where she in- creased her lead to five strokes, when Mrs. Hurd, visiting one bunker after another, took six to get down. Miss Hicks protected that five-stroke lead to the end. T0 SETTLE.MAT ISSUE Tragos and Caddock Arrange Fin- ish Match for Thursday.

All nine fleets were out on the Hudson at one time or another during the day, but only Navy, in addition to Cornell, attempted a time trial. The Navy varsity crossed the finish line 10 lengths ahead of the junior varsity and had the beat up to 36 in the last half mile. DALY AIS T0 ADD SECOND NET TITLE Junior Singles Winner and Willis, Whom He Beat in Final, Paired. HARLIE DALY, Honolulu prod- uct, who yesterday in an up- set vanquished Ricky Willis in a five-set ‘match to win the District junior tennis singles title, was to hold forth with that worthy this afternoon against Perkins and De Land in a doubles semi-final on the Rock Creek courts. Play was to start at 3 o'clock. The winners will engage Gil- bert Hunt, newly crowned boys' singles champ, and Nathan Ritzenberg in the final tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Daly, who learned his tennis at Puna- hou Academy, Honolulu, conquered Willis by a steady back-court game. After Daly won the first two sets, 6—0, 9—17, Willis came back to take the next twe, 6—3, 6—2. only to have Daly rally to take the fifth set, 6—3, and the match, Hunt and Ritzenberg registered the first real upset of the doubles in scoring over Henry Glassie and Joe Dial, 2—6, 7—5, 6—1, yesterday in a semi-final. Glassie and 1 were offered a default when Hunt and Ritzenberg appeared gu for the match, but preferred to ay. Pointers on Golf BY SOL METZGER. Tom McNamara, the first Ameri- can pro to break a 70 in the na- tional open, and runner-up in that event some years later to Jerry Travers, is a smallish sort of man who had to depend upon rare skill on the greens to stay with such fast company. In his playing days, before quit- ting competition to enter business, McNamara had a keen putting touch and sublime confidence upon the greens. Who is the golfer who would not swap a long drive for MOM MINAMARA'S PUTTING TARGET — A PENCIL, green’s confidence? Tom gained this confidence by a simple expedient: When he went forth to practice he avoided shooting for the cup. Instead, McNamara stuck a pencil into the greens and stroked his putts to die at this nar- row target. Try it after you smooth your stroke so that you can have utts die at the pencil you'll mighty confident you can drop them into a hole as big as a cup. Next—Travis' putting practice tip.

McCALLUM MAN golfers of Washington have three tournaments scheduled within the next two weeks, headed by the competition for the Washington Herald Trophy, presented by the mol newspaper to the Women's District Gol Association. The competition for the yed over the y Club on June 26 and will be an 18-hole medal tourney, limited to fair golfers, with handicap up to 16 strokes. There will be an entrance fee of $1 charged, and prizes, In addition to the main Frlu. ‘will be awarded for low low net scores. Entries will cl with Mrs. Frank R. Keefer, president of the women's association, at 3607 Porter street, at noon on June 24. Next Monday the fair golfers of the Capital will move over to the Wood- mont Country Club, where they will ghyl.ntnlvhnheventfiobelm y the Women's District Golf Associa- tion for a trophy presented by Mrs. Sidney Straus. The event will start at 9 am. and will be an 18-hole medal play handicap toyrney. On Monday, June 22, the Indian Spring Golf Club will be host to the woman golfers of the Capital in an 18-hole event, and on June 30 the fair players will be the guests of Gen. and Mrs. Connor and the women of the Army War College in a tourney over the War College course. Entries for the American Legion handicap tournament to be played at the Beaver Dam Country Club on June 29 are to be forwarded to American Legion headquarters in the Shoreham Building before 10 o'clock on the day of the tourney. The entries should be accompanied by the $1.50 entrance fee. Manor Club tourney next week may outshine all the other local golf events held this season in the class of out-of-town entries. The entry of Thomas Wootton of Atlantic City already has been received and the ccmmittee looks forward to receipt of the entry of J. Wood Platt, Philadel- phia star who has been a member of the Walker Cup international team. 1t Platt and Wootton both play, the tournev will have an intercity touch only shared by the Columbia tourney, with Billy Howell in the list. Both Platt and Wootton are capable of playing very fine golf. 'HATEVER happened in the semi- final round of the Columbia tour- ney today, where Billy Howell was paired against M. Parker Nolan, and Harry Pitt drew Everett Eynon, the Co- lumbia Club champion, there never can be any doubt in the minds of the hun- dreds who saw the second-round matches yesterday that Pitt is a scrapping fool, and that no matter how far down he is in a golf match he is not licked until the winning putt curls into the cup. Those hundreds who saw the Manor Club Star move over the first 13 holes of his elongated match yesterday with Gordon Wood of Richmond, apparently in a daze and quite obviously a beaten competitor, were treated to more than a mild thrill as they watched Pitt snap out of the slump which had carried him to & four-hole deficit against Wood, win three holes in a row to square the match then go on to win on the twenty- hole. That match will go down in local golf history as one of the great matches about the OCapital. At the twelfth hole no man in the gallery would have given a Eunefl Chinese coin for Harry Pitt's . He was playing difidently against & splendid exhibition by the fine putter from Richmond, and every on= thought the match would come to an end somewhere around the fiftenth - hole. But Pitt by some magic alchemy of golf snapped out of his los- ing streak, won back all the holes by which he was trailing and then, by dint of three tremendous tee shots and the same number of accurate iron shots, beat Wood on the twenty-first hole. That was a match and no mistake. ‘Wood was 4 up at the turn, and it looked as if Pitt, who has won two tourna- ments already this year, was a beaten favorite, as they say at the race tracks. At the fifteenth tee Wood was 3 up, but here ed out a 3 yard tee shot and laid his second only 6 feet from the hole to win. At the sixteenth Pitt won with & par 3 when Wood hooked his tee shot into the trap. And Pitt also won the seven- teenth when Wood put his tee shot in the ditch. They halved the eighteenth in par 4s, and went on to the nine- teenth, where Wood made a fine chip shot to halve. The gods of golf gave Wood another half at the second extra hole, where he put his second shot in the water and then stymied Pitt, who had a putt to win. But at the third extra hole Pitt boomed out it tee shot, which went over the hi hile Wood pushed his ball behind the big tree at the right, hit the tree with his second and lost the hole and the match to a 4 by Pitt. That match, if it never has been established before, established Harry Pitt as one of the great fighters of the game. Meanwhile Everett Eynon was has a hard struggle with Jack Blggsvng Argyle, but the Columbia champ finally wond on '.hep uvtnmlh. Billy Howell an T Peacoc! ged a repetition of ‘.h}:l‘;"enru‘gle of last year, wl;fh the middle Atlantic champ winning on the eighteenth green by 2 up, while Parker Nolan, the big slugger from Congres- sional, after dropping Frank Roesch, the District champion, in the first round, plowed serenely on to a 4-and-3 victory over John Holzberg of Columbia. The choices for the final today are Pitt and Howell and if they do meet, it should be a real final round. The pair never have met in competition before. Most think they are the two outstand- ing golfers of the Middle Atlantic sector, and If they meet their scrap should go a long way toward selecting the outstanding individual of this part of the bunkered land. and first WOMEN PLAY TODAY.
