One step nearer the prize she has been seeking for three years, Helen Wills, the 17-year-old California girl, faced another battle today against Miss Eleanor Goss, the New York star, In the sem!-final round of the American women's tennis champion- ship. Like Bobby Jones, the youth- ful prodigy of golf, who threatened for three years, and reached the |champlonship by meeting the most exacting test, the pretty Berkeley miss has fought her way into the | sem{-final'round over the hardest op- [position faced by any player In the tournament. In defeating Miss Kathleen Me- ne, England's greatest player, lit- M Wills played tennis yester- that has never been equaled, even by the great Mile.

With the gamest heart and the | prettiest tennis, Miss Wills advanced | thru the tournament by beating Miss Martha Bayard, Miss Ceres Baker, | Mrs. Helene Pollak Falk and Miss “Kitty” McKane, and in today’s match she will face perhaps the hardest test of all against Miss Goss, who defeated her in the Seabright tournament, While interest is centering in the drive of Miss Wills for the champion- ship, the other match of the semi- finals between Mrs. Mallory and Mrs. R. C. Clayton, the lone survivor of the British team, may also develop into a real feature. The British woman displayed a dangerous game yesterday in run- ning away from Miss Deslle Ban+ croft, the second ranking American player. ARMY’S NEW COACH READY WEST POINT, N.
