SPORTS. FRENCH STAR HELD SUPERIGR TOVINES Henri befeated Because He Underestimated Yankee, Tilden Believes. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, January 24— Bill Tilden agrees with his professional tennis asso- | ciate, Vincent Richards, that the United States of America will find it very difficult indeed to | dislodge the Davis Cup from the | French this year, but for a differ- ent reason. ‘Where Richards believes the preunti policy of furnishing year-round ac- | tivity for Vines, Allison, Van Ryn and other American aces will take the edge | off their game by Summer, Tilden | sticks to an old guardsman’s belief that | the real obstacle to our success at Paris | will be Henri Cochet. | Notwithstanding Cochet’s two de- feats by Vines at Auteuil and Forest Hills and the Frenchman's subsequent displacement as world No. 1 player by the American champion, Tilden thinks it will be a different story when they | mcet again this year. Big Bill says| Cochet underestimated Vines on both | occasions he was beaten last year, but will not repeat this mistake. HERE were, of course, extenuat- ing circumstances both times Vines licked the litle French stylist. The American’s Davis Cup victgry came | after Jesn Borotra had beateli¥ilmer | Allison in the singles for the deciding | point. At Forest Hills, Cochet was | obliged to battle Vines shortly after | finishing the fifth set of his semi-final | with Allison. He was tired and a bit | disgruntled. | On that afternoon, however, Cochet | hardly would have been a match for y circumstances. Henri n though he felt he was entitled to “squawk” about the ar- | rangements. | Our boys have now missed at least | two good chances to recover the Davis Cup. Even with the French dynasty | slipping, they have no reason to be overconfident. They will do well to| concentrate their resources for the big campaign and pay no attention to the ballyhoo. HERE will be a good deal of offi- cial scofing at Gene Sarazen's radical suggestion for increasing the size of the golf cup from 4!4 inches | to 8 inches, but old John Duffer and his pals, it seems to me, will be very much in favor of experimenting with it to see whether it would really. be as helpiul as it sounds. The answer to the official scoffers is: Why not experiment with a larger cup? The esteemed gentlemen who are pledged to safeguard the sanctity of | the 1 and ancient game were suf- | ficiently radical to do a lot of ex-| perimenting with the size and weight of the ball. | Not content with that, our American suthorities defied the parental British rulers by sending up the “balloon ball.” Then they hauled it down, as a result of insurrection in the ranks, and sent uUp another one, heavier but still the “balloon” size of 1.68 inches in diameter. So, if the larger ball is here to stay, | 8s now seems likely, why not be con- sistent and eplarge the cup? E would be satisfled to compro- mise on a 6-inch cup, as a means toward ending a few of our wor- res on the greens, but Johnny Farrell thinks a larger hole would have too much tendency to standardize the pro- ceedings. As one of our better putters, Johnny | doesn't believe the larger cup would in- crease very much the percentage of putts dropping from 25-30 feet or more. As he sees the prospect. on the other hand. the player who failed to reach the green would be able to chip up more ofter to halve the hole. | Maybe so, but that also is worth an experiment to see what actually is| likely to happen with a bigger cup. SPORTS SUBSIDIES | CENTER OF ATTACK| __(Continued from Page 11 | | | | will receive from its members. It is| highly problematical just how strongly | the organization will be bulwalked by | its constituents or what shifts and ex- | pedients may be interposed. 1 It is certain, however, that the inves- | tigation in Dixie will have teeth, if only because it results from action by ath- letic authorities, not faculty men. Di- rectors of athletics and coaches, who have facts in their possession and view existing cdnditions in certain quarters with repugnance, will be chiefly involved. “We are going to clean up the whole muvat‘ion and put athletics on a decent basis.” a very important person in the Southern Conference told this writer. “We have made up our minds definitely on this point, result what may.” S to the Middle States Association the situation may be viewed hope- fully, but at the same time with doubt. Primarily what may happen is this: There will be a division of the or- ganization into three groups. (A) Cer- tain colleges which already are com- mitted to the task of cleaning up, as Washington and Jefferson and others. (B) Certain colleges which will say, “Oh, yes, we will clean up,” and then do nothing of the sort. (C) A group definitely and openly opposed to elim- inating athletic scholarships and other mzt.hodz of keeping teams up to stand- ar What then would have to be done? Well, for one thing, a campaign of visiting, in which member institutions would be thoroughly inspected as to procedure and practice. Would there be sufficient funds to defray the cost of such an investigation? Especially if opposed colleges withdrew such financial support as they now give? But before this there would have to be a definition of athletic scholarships In such way as to be sufficiently in- clusive and definite. And do not think that every college of the Middle Atlantic Association holds views in this respect that would lend themselves to the estab- lishment of a general understanding. It is a grand thing that a movement of the sort has come up in this sec- tion, but it marks the beginning of a trend rather than a promise of imme- diate accomplishment.

Only Five Playing As Cage Tilt Ends RBANA, Ill, January 24 (P).— How’s this for a basketballical believe-it-or-not? A game in the consolation division of a high school tournament near here came to an end with only five players on the floor! Homer and Allerton schools were playing, the latter team having only six lads in uniform because of a “flu” epidemic. First, one Allerton player was banished for having four personal fouls and the lone reserve entered the fray. As the game wore on two more Allertonians were banished for fouls. ‘Whereupon the Homer coach big- heartedly withdrew two of his play- ers, and the game proceeded with two three-man teams fighting it out. Then, with only a few minutes left, another Allertonian was evicted for commission of his fourth per- sonal. Homer won. BASKETERS AT NAVY PREP FOR MARYLAND Rest Follows Defeat by Penn. New Hampshire Boxers to Be Met Saturday. NNAPOLIS, January 24.—After their hard game with Pennsylvania Sat- urday night, in which the Navy basket ball team suffered its first de- feat of the season, Coach Johnny Wil- son gave his players a complete rest yesterday. He will begin special prep- aration this afternoon for Saturday's game against Maryland. There is no midweek tilt. Kastein, center, has a bad foot and | Loughlin, scoring guard, has had trouble with his hand since early in the sea- son, and the rest is expected to do them good. Practice during the week will be di- rected toward improving the defense and certain phases of the passing game so that full advantage can be taken of the fine shooting of this year's team. Another big event on the Navy's sport program for Saturday is the boxing match against New Hampshire, the first of the local season. The wrestlers will meet Pennsylvania and the Plebe basket ball five has Eastern High of Washing- ton as its opponent. The right to represent the Navy as | heavyweight in the opening boxing match will be decided between Bob Harbold of Washington and Slade Cut- ter of Oswego, Ill, in a bout to be contested early this week. WERBER IS BALKING. Bill Werber, former Tech High and Duke athlete, has returned his contract | unsigned to the New York American League Ball Club. Werber was recalled by the Yanks from Buffalo at the end of last season. He played shortstop with the Bisons, hitting .291. One for the Book BY CHARLIE WHITI O hits by a player in an in- ning is unusual, but for six players, all members of one club, to make two or more hits in an inning, is indeed a rare perform- ance and not likely to be repeated. Six Chicago players (Williamson, 3; - Goldsmith, 2; S “Billy” Sunday, 2; Kelly, 2; total, 15 hits) did this in ) the seventh inning, = September 6, 1883. - W, Two American League clubs, Phil- adelphia, on July 8. 1902, and New York, on Septem- wEmeapilil ver 12, 1921, had five players each making two hits, total 10 hits, in one inning. ‘The Chicago Nationals, in a game with Buffalo, June 3, 1883, made 14 two-baggers. St. Louis Cardinals came within one of tying the record ‘when they made 13 two-baggers July 12, 1931. Boston Red Sox, by losing 111 games in the American League, in 1932, now have the dubious distinc- tion of losing 100 or more games in six seasons, 1906, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1930, 1932. The all-time record is held by the Boston Braves, who have lost 100 or more games, in ten seasons. Two catcher§ share the record of making three assists in an inning. Ray Schalk. Chicago (A. L), eighth inning, September 30, 1921, and Bill Dickey, New York Yankees, sixth inning, May_ 13, 1929. ‘The all-time reford for outfield- ers of making two unassisted double plays in a season, belongs to Tris Speaker, Cleveland, April 18 and 29, 1918, and Adam Comorosky, Pitts- burgh, May 31, and June 13, 1931.

DODGERS BALKING AT'33 CONTRACTS Clark, Hurler," Is Latest to Join Holdouts—Yankees Sign Gomez. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 24—If Ed Barrow, business manager of | the New York Yankees, thinks he has any monopoly on the season’s base ball holdouts, he'd better take a look at the Brooklyn Dodgers. Aiready the Dodgers can point with little or no pride to a half dozen high- salaried players who are balking at ferms, And several more counties are virtually certain to be heard from be- fore many more days pass. Willlam Watson Clark, the willing southpaw, is the latest member of the Dodger cast to reject the club’s first contract. The Dodgers offered Clark the same salary he received last season, $12,000, but the southpaw thinks his work entitled him to a raise. He won 20 games, the only southpaw in the Na- tional League who reached that figure. Al Lopez, Hack Wilson and Joe Stripp are bona fide holdouts, and Glenn ‘Wright, veteran shortstop, is under- stood to be far from pleased with terms offered him. Wright insists, however, that he cannot be classed in the hold- out list. On the other side of the picture, the Dodgers have the signatures of both Lefty ODoul and Tony Cuccinello to 1933 contracts and they expect to lh'\n‘ the others in line, sooner o ter. Yankees accomplished s ne-t] stroke of business yesterday, when they announced that Vernon (Lefty) Gomez, the accomplished southpaw, had ended his brief cam- paign for more money. Gomez asked for a larger increase than the club was ready to give him, but whether he got it was not stated. ‘The Yankees also signed Arndt Jor- gens, second-string catcher, and two re- SPORTS. cruit pitchers, Russell Van Atta and Don Brennan. “Herb Pennock went into conference with the “front office” with the idea of persuading them he should not be asked to take such a slash. TEE Glants signed John C. (Blondy) yan, recruit shortstop purchased from the Buffalo club of the Inter- national League, while Forrest A rookie southpaw, came to terms witn the Cleveland Indians. TROJANS OPI;OSE GRANGE LOS ANGELES, January 24 (#).— Two of the Southern California’s great tackles, Ernie Smith and Jess Hibbs, will play with Erny Pinckett's All-Stars at Wrigley Field next Sunday against the Green Bay Packers of the Na- tional Pro League.
