Would Welcome Visit From Former Net Queen. Pathetic as Pro. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. sume play as an amateur in lawn tennis. This information comes to the | writer today from a foreign source whose knowledge of European | tennis is from inside. The French girl’s five-year period of proba- tion following her dip into profes- sionalism has now been completed | and her application for reinstate- ment as an amateur will shortly be submitted, if indeed it is not already in hand. Suzanne played quite a bit of tennis last Summer and Americans Wwho watched her in action—they were all excellent judges of tennis form—were amazed at her proficiency. She moved about the court with ail her pristine resiliency and grace, and her stroking revealed no flaws. N speed she was obviously off and in| éndurance also, but these were de- fects that intensive practice would remedy. Talk abroad is that she will appear in many tournaments on the Riviera this Spring as well as in the hard-court matches at St. Cloud— | with Wimbledon, of course, in the offing. | What after that? Will she come to this country? If she becomes an ama- teur and is thus eligible to play in our women'’s national at Forest Hills, you may be sure that any influence the U. S. L. T. A. could wield to bring about her appearance here would not be spared. Lenglen vetsus Helen Wills Moody? Would that pack ’em in if Mrs. Moody goes abroad this coming season, or were the French girl to come to this coun- try? The answer is obvious. S to the relative merits of the )\ two girls, even those who were | most enthusiastic about Suzanne’s ability would not be inclined to favor her over the present world champion, were the two to meet. has been too long.out of the game, and so much 15 im; in the matter of qualities essary to an athlete who would tri- umph er the world that Mrs. Moody would Rave to be favored. Of course, in event of her applica- tion for restoration being made, the French Tennis Federation might hold her up a year before granting it. Feret, the French male player who p!rflcl- pated with Lenglen in the C. C. Pyle! hippodreme, has already been restored to amateur standing, but the writer's| impression is that he was obliged to wait several months, if not a year. On the other hand, Suzanne has not played a 8pot of pro tennis in four years and this fact might stand her in stead so far as rushing through her reinstate- ment is concerned. As for lawn tennis authorities in this country, the writer thinks he is in a position'to say that the former cham- pion's return to amateur status would be welccmed t.he ful] sbcry, of Suzanne Lenglen’s hée of professicnal lawn ten- nls could b>_.written i would stand as a forlorn object lesson against ill- considered™®fitrance into the merce- nary sidebof the sport. If she made any money all, it was by no means the *expected to make, and a re- um or all the things that went wrong E" professional career would make tiowreading. Meanwhile Jean Borotra, in indoor singles in France, his vis ctg once more that he is through - with singles play, !ndudlnl that involved in the Davis Cup. the accepts Rene Lacoste's humurvus suggestion in the French mageazine, Lawn Tennis, that Jean get in his an- nua) ret'rement announcoment early so that he will not have that to worry about as he fits himself for another s:ason of singles match play. But this time it may well be Borotra is serious. He suffered so greatly in popularity when the French publio—which has no more uge for losers than we have— thought he was all in as a champlon, as to be pretty well disillusioned about the duty he owes to the tennis en- thusiasts of his country.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 9.—The lead- ing exponents of the most grace- ful and one of the most exacting of all sports, figure skating, meet to- morrow and Saturday to compete for the North American figure skating championships at the Ice Club. Perhaps not the best of them, but the leader in the eyes of casual observers is Robin Lee, a 13-year-old youngster from Minneapolis who has been skating for nearly half his short life. Robin, who passed test No. 7 in the fancy skating manual with its 10 difficult school fig- ures yesterday to advance a notch in the | skaters’ ranking, is considered as the one to beat despite his Years. He won the junior championship ldst year and captured the Midwestern title at St. Louis a short time ago. Other skaters entered in the three divisions, the men’s and women'’s cham- pionships and the pairs event, include the brilllant Canadians, Montgomery Wilson and his sister, Mrs. Constance Wilson Samuel, and Mrs. Edward Gooderham, the former Cecil Smith of Toronto; Lester Madden and Suzanne Davis of Boston and Willam Nable and Dr. Hulda Berger of New York.

ASSOCIATION TO HEAR| GOLF TOURNEY BIDS SHAUGHNESSY NEXT CHICAGO GRID BOSS Selection of Loyola Coach Expected to Be Okayed by Board Today. By the Assoclated Press. . HICAGO, February 9.—Clark Danjel (Shag) now coach at Loyola of New | Orleans, today was recommended as the | man to pick up where Amos Alonzo Stagg left off on the University of Chi- cago foot ball fleld. Shaughnessy’s appointment as grid- iron coach on Chicago's Midway needed only the approval of the university’s board of trustees at its meeting this afternoon. While not mandatory, the trustees were expected to follow the recom- mendation of Thomas Nelson Metcalf, new athletic director, that Shaughnessy is the best man on the long list of ap- plicants for the job which the 70-year- old Stagg was forced to relinquish. Chicago returned the compliment to the University of Minnesota, which now has two alumni as gridiron coaches in the Western Conferénce. N 1930 Minnesota took Stagg’s star pupil and first assistant, Fritz er, as its gridiron coach. Shaughnessy, who starred as tackle, end and fullback at Minnesota from 1911 to 1913, becomes head man for the Maroons, who for 41 years were sent into the gridiron wars by Stagg. Crisler has moved on to Princeton, | and Minnesota’s coach is Bernie Bier- man, another Gopher star of the old days. Like Minnesota, Chicago’s choice made his reputation as a grid tutce &t New Orleans. Shaughnessy and Bier- man were contemporaries there, at Loyola and Tulane. Nearly 30 years Stagg's junior, Shaughnessy has held but two jobs. From 1915 to 1926, inclusive, he was athletic director and coach at Tulane. gw:lhhe transferred to Loyola of the uth. IS records are impressive. lane his teams won 58 games, tied 6 and lost 27. Loyola squads under his tutelage won 38, tied 5 and lost 16. Foot ball is Shaughnessy’s specialty, but at Minnesota he won his letter twice in basket ball and once in track. went to high school in St.-Paul. Metcalf, drafted from Iowa State Col- lege to take Stagg's other job as ath- letic director, had the names of dozens of coaches who wanted the task of building a winnin, g team at the midway. His selection of Shaughnessy came soon after a meeting of Stagg’s former players, who wanted the job to go to | one of their members. Forced to retire because of his age, Stagg refused to quit foot ball and has signed as coach at the College of the Pacific, Stockton, Calif. DIEW OELEANS. February 9 (#)— Clark Shaughnessy, Loyola Uni- versity coach, who was selected as foot - ball cmh at the Univem!y of Chicago, is ,in Baton Rouge, La. and could not be reached -early today for comment.

Shaughnessy, a graduate of Minne- sota, has indicated he would accept the new coaching position. = SIGHT HOCKEY RISE PEEEEY Bisons Would Improve League Lead at Detroit’s Expense.

ENVER, Colo., February 9.—Herb Dana, recently named commis- sioner of officials of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Association, be- lieves the National Rules Committee meeting in Philadelphia tomorrow should give the referee authority in foot ball games to send an injured player from the field. Dana, visiting here en route to Philadelphia, said many times a player badly hurt will conceal the fact from the coach to avert his re- moval. Dana’s plan would permit the player to re-enter the contest as soon as the team’s trainer approved. Dana is a member of the Advisory Colinmlt%e of Officials on Foot Ball Rules.

Ronkin probably will be out for the remainder of the season. The loss of Ronkin, former University of Maryland standout, is a severe blow to the Lusnics, who are in the midst of a battle with the Aero Eagles for the semi-pro championship of the met- ropolitan district area. With either Frenchy Cohan or Bob Gaylor in Ronkin’s place at forward, the Lusnics tonight will play the Get- tysburg Fleetwings at Haverford, Pa.
