EW YORK, March 20.—The drive to bring back the Davis Cup to the United States this year got under way today with the re- appointment of Bernon S.

ICHITA, Kans, March 20— Challenging the supremacy of the Durant, Okla, Car- dinals, 21 girl basket ball teams are scheduled to launch the an- nual National A. A. U. tournament here tonight.

In addition to the College for Women, the Sooner State has three other teams bid. ding for the two-zone championship.

Ring, Mat, Basket Ball Net $5,000. BY H. C. BYRD, HE three Southern Confer- ence tournaments, boxing, basket ball and wrestling, held recently not only did not finish in the red, as has every previous tournament, but were so successful, financially, that after all expenses were pald nearly $5,000 in cash was added to the conference treasury. This is the first time since the con- ference was organized that the events have “paid out,” and apparently, what- ever else may have been lost, the North- ern end of the conference is faring far better financially by the split that took place at Knoxville than the Southern end. And it was thought by the South- ern end that just the opposite would be_the case. It is understood that neither the box- ing tournament nor the basket ball panned out so well for the far Southern section that split away from the old | conference. According to a statement |made by & man identified with far Southern athletics, both tournaments were disappointments, especially the boxing. 'HIS is rather a remarkable situa- tion, too, inasmuch as the chair- man of the tournament group that split away from the old conference is reported to have stated prior to the tournaments this year that it was ex- pected that the tournaments would prove much more successful, as the heavy e entailed in previous years by the Northern section going to Atlanta would not have to be borne, the intimation being, so the Northern schools felt, that the Northern teams contributed very little to the tourna- ment and yet entailed the biggest ex- tourney preliminary to the national|lic today.

But whenever I think of | scoring and scoring well, I think nbout; chipping and putting, and I find I have been knocking those chip shots close | to the hole and slipping the putts in | I twon't be far away from par. | “Look at Paul Runyon. That fel- Jow has been winning tourna- ments all over the South this Winter because he has developed the chip shot to a fine art. I haven't seen him play many shots, but I understand he is not a long hitter. Therefore he must be a fine chipper and putter. Yes, | & chipping and putting is by far the most important department of the game, in my opinion.” George Diffenbaugh used to be known #s one of the longest hitters around ‘Washington, back in the days when he was grQwing into the game in which today is one of the foremost players. a little man he walloped & golf ba! long, long way, and even though tod¥p he has cut down on his distance somevhat in favor of keeping the ball straight, he still is plenty long from the tee. Ros We have a_distinct recollection of | N'wm: standing on the sixth green at Con- gressional one day and watching a ball Toll past the pin. It came from the driver of George Diffenbaugh, who had hit that pill onto the green, 375 yards from the tee. Of course, he had a | Ff following wind behind the sphere, but even with a wind, that was a mighty wallop. And yet the same chap who can pole a ball as far as that admits | that chipping and putting is the most | iroportant part of the game. ¥ IKE most small men Diffenbaugh himself is an outstanding artist of the chip shot. He stands with feet close together, back well bent, eyes over the ball, and he usually plays the shot with a No. 3 or No. 4 iron, claiming that he can keep better control of a running ball than of one which has both to pitch and run as it would do if played from a mashie or a spade. “Of course it depends on turf and | ground conditions, as to whether you | should play a straight-away running shot or & pitch and run,” says George. “But whenever ground conditions are favorable I prefer to hit the ball with only a short pitch and with a lot of run. I find T can keep better control if the ball isn't pitched very far. “Most of the greens here at Indian Bprings are fairly open and many of the chip shots are run-up shots. So I have found more success with that type of shots than the shot which calls for a fairly long pitch with a little run. 1 think all golfers would find themselves scoring better if they practiced a little more with the chip shot, and particu- larly the running chip shot.” 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

It was the boxing tournament, so successfully managed by Jimmy Driver, athletic director of the University of Virginia, that produced the largest share of the revenue. After expenses of all teams and expenses of actual op- eration of the tournament, were paid, considerably more than $3,000 was turned over to the conference treasury. ‘The basket ball tournament also turned | over a considerable fund, after paying all expenses, and the wrestling tourna- ment finished ahead with just a small | profit, HIS is the first year since the Southern Conference held its first organization meeting back in 1921 that all teams in boxing, wrestling and basket ball tournaments have received all expenses of their trips and never | before has there been a surplus. Prior to this season the teams have received from 60 to 75 per cent of their expenses and footed the balance of the bill them- |selves. This year they got all expenses paid and the conference treasury was enriched besides. ‘The Southern Conference lp‘!‘nm has every right to give itself a good lv.-hole-h pat on the back. \'T'HERE is hardly much MNkelthood that the conference tournaments next year will be moved from their | present locations. Boxing is very popue lar around Charlottesville and the re- sult of the bouts this year, from s financial standpoint, leaves nothing to be desired. With the conference adding to its coffers from that source, he would be a brave man who might suggest a change. Some rather definite efforts have been made to get the basket ball tournament for Lynchburg, which, of course, would take it away from Raleigh, where it was held this year. However, the financlal results so far exceeded anything expected of the North Carolina capital, therefore, the | chances are the tournament will stay there, unless some definite guarantees are made by the Lynchburg people. Holding the conference basket ball tournament, and boxing tournament, too, for that matter, at any place entirely dependent on adequate facilities. These Raleigh has in its new a 8uditorium and Virginia has in its big gymnasium. Possibly neither of these places is as well suited for taking care of big crowds as the new field house at Maryland, but it is not likely that either tournament at Maryland would pan out as well financially as at Raleigh Charlottesville. a4 R MUD CANCELS TURF CARD Precedent Set in England When Rain Floods Track. LINCOLN, England, March 20 (P).— For the first time in history the open- ing program of flat racing in England was canceled today owing to the water- | logged condition of the famous Lincoln |race course which has been flooded with heavy rains in the last few days.
