Beer to Revive “FILL THE STENS” TOBE SUNG AGAIN “Brown October Ale,” With “0ld Heidelberg” and Oth- ers, to Be Learned Anew. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. 113 ILL the steins for dear old F Maine, “Shout till the rafters ring.” Back with beer will come the robust drinking sengs our fathers sang during their bright college days. The newer generation is totally unacquainted with Hof- braus and Rathskellers, but the old lads will not be slow in teach- ing and again there will be a mar- ket for long-bladed pocket knives; else how can our modern colle- gians carve their initials and fra- ternity seals on the long oaken tables. The “Hey, hey, Nonpie” and “Hot Cha Cha” music of the present day will go poorly with a stein of beer, and it will surprise me none at all to hear the class of '33 learning “Old Heidel- berg,” “Brown October Ale" and “Here's to Good Old Yale, Drink Her Down,” in anticipation of the eeming of the brau. College spirit will become somet! of a brave voice again, and within s short time the famous old college drinking places will have their modern counter- 'UCH college officials as I have talked with believe the return of beer will reduce the amount of drinking done at foot ball games, which will please athletic directors who must have stadia swept from stern to stern after each| big game. Drinking at foot ball games | wlfil not disappear entirely, for at its best Brown October ale is nothing with | which to warm the feet on frigid No- vember afternoens. So bathtub gin and red likker will not be entirely elimi nated. But for the most part coll athletic heads are favorable to the re- turn of beer. Golf clubs are certain to profit from legalized beer, since it is quite certain they will be permitted to serve it to members. For almest a decade the mneiomy of country elubs have operated thelr dining rooms and restaurants at a loss. The beer will afford them a commodity en which a t may be realized. The conviviality of locker be maintained with beer th with more potent drinks and with less noise and breakage. HILE beer may not have the power of a “wee dock and doris” it can make the star and differ forget his missed putts, and 8-inch cups will be popular {p locker rooms if not on O Eie Sail magnates are another group ates a who will give three cheers when the first batch ef legalized beer is unloaded. Not alone from the possibility that it may be sold within their parks, but for the general welfare of the players. Mani even the most severe dis- ciplinariang, never have held strongly against besr. I haye heard man them that a few crocks of after a hard game was & good tonic. But of recent years, with beer of quality denied them, many players have occa- sionally frequented places where bev- erages of uncertain age but great po- tency could be obtained. And man- agers liked that not at all. Your aver- age base ball player is a contended crea- ture and with mild beer available few of them will search for the stronger vintages and managers and owners will have fewer worrles. believe the return of beer will have a noticeable effect on the enthusi- asm of the base ball fan. He can generate more enthusiasm for the home team and more rancor toward the vis- itors after a few noggins of ale than ever was possible after a batch of . The boys from the Rhine Valley in Cincinnat{ will be more nmsly be- hind the Reds, and the Blue S from Kerry Patch are going to put new en- thusiasm into their cheering for the Browns and Cardinals. In short, the followers of sports, who for the most part always have been liberal in their tendencies, will be more cheerful after the Verboten sign has been taken down and that cheerfulness will be reflected in their attitude toward their recrea- tional life. I may be wrong, but I be- leve interest in base ball is going to pick up with the return of beer.

EW YORK, March 17.—Thus far at least, the 1933 national indoor tennis championships have been remarkable, not so much because ef spectacular play as the followed form. Today, with the semi-finals in both singles and doubles reached, the four top seeded players alone remained in the running for the singles crown, while three of the four seeded doubles com- binations still were listed among the survivors. Pairing in singles for the round be- fore the final sent Gregory S. Mangin of Newark, defending champion and seeded No. 1, against Sidney B. Wood of New York, seeded No. 4, and Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, No, 2, against Prank Shields of New York, No. 3. Mangin and Shields, finalists a year ago, were favored to win, although not by any decisive margin. Shields and Sutter won in straight sets in the quarter-finals, the former eliminating George Lott, 7—5, 6—2, while Sutter was disposing of Dr. Lawrence Kurzrok of New York, 6—4, 6—3. ug:nn traveled three sets to whip Dr. Eugene McCauliff of Yonkers, 10—8, 3—6, 6—4, and Wood was similarly ex- tended by J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange, N. J., 7—5, 6—8, 6—4. In the doubles, Berkeley Bell and Mangin were to face Sutter and Mc- Cauliff, while Wood and Edward W. Burns played Kursrok and J. B. Pitman, Of these, all are seeded teams except and Shields, the No. 1 seeded combina- tion, 6—4, 6—3, yesterday. 38 BOXERS STRIVING FOR COLLEGE TITLES Syracuse, Team Champ, and Army Are Favored Among Seven Competing Squads.

WB]N it comes to putting, most stars grip the shaft quite dif- ferently than for long shots. In the first place the hands are placed 8o that they oppase each other exactly. That is, the back of the left and the paim of the right hand point in the direction of the line of the putt. Even the exaggerated style of Leo Diegel, who loyes the pendulum stroke, makes e opposition of the hands fundamental. So held, they tend to the face of the putter at right angles to the line of the putt at contact and to execute efficiently the abbreviated but necessarily ac- curate swing employed in putting.
