THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1922," "STORY - OF TIGERS’ TRIUMPH ON COURTS READS, LIKE FICTION. KFEPING ATHLETES Schaefer Beats Hoppe, PRINCETON HAS MIRACLE MAN INITS BASKETBALL COACH Hillis Zahn Never Flashed as a Player, but He Transformed Tiger Five Into a Combination That Beat His Old Friend’s @ Team for Intercollegiate Championship. By William Abbott. Princeton won the Intercollegiate basketball title, beating Penn in a sensational play-off game. Not satis- fled with this feat, tho Tigers just about performed a coaching miracle that doesn't often happen outside fic- re stories. For the past ten years inceton has been blessed with ex- ceptional playing material, but fre- quent coaching changes and expert- ments usually, spoiled bright pros- pects. ’ ‘This year old Nassau decided to seek tts fortune on the court with Hillis Zahn, who never flashed as a player and attracted even less attention as a coach of small clubs around Phila. delphia, But it happened that Zahn's brother turned out successful basket- ball teams at Dartmouth, and Joe Fogarty, Penn coach, was a firm be- Mever in his coaching ability. In fact, it was undoubtedly the insistence of Fogarty that finally landed Zahn at Princeton, and tho way fate worked out it was the new coach who triumphed over his old friend In the deciding game for the championship. Hillis Zahn Is thirty-five years old, of delightful personality and an ob- serving eye for basketball talent. Back the old days of the Central League wasn't considered godd enough to make the first team of the famous Graysocks, so he held down a guard position on the junior five. He was a steady, consistent performer on the floor, a formidable clog in team work, the type that gets results without much display. Zahn's favorite sport meanwhile was rowing. Ho was a member of the old Philadelphia Barge Club, and pulled a powerful oar that helped to win many important races around Quakertown, which always has been noted for star oarsmen. Giving up basketball playing Zahn turned to coaching. He concentrated on small clubs around Philly, but his efforts didn’t encourage any rush from other Institutions for his services. For Zahn the door of opportunity re- mained bolted. Nevertheless Joe Fogarty, who de- veloped many winning teams at Penn, never lost faith in his old friend, and Zahn's big chance arrived when Princeton decided to change coaches and give him a contract. Taking hold of the Tigers, the new coach promptly reduced the size et Princeton's ninety-foot court, which was one of the largest in the country. Zahn specialized on passing and team work, without exploiting any one par- ticular star. \ The system soon earned results. After losing to Penn early tn the season, the Tigers eventually stopped the formidable Quakers, and when the regular race ended in a deadlock the Princeton five showed {ts superiority by soundly trimming Penn in a play- off at Princeton before a crowd that recalled a football assemblage be- cause of Its enthusiasm and cheering. secure sufficient funds to present a testimonial to the officials and players of the league. Most of the Metropolitan League Players did not beneflt to any great extent from a financial standpoint. Their activities were performed with a view to helping the game along rather than to secure any personal benefits. Since the Metropolitan League has had such a successful season, and that notwithstanding its recent formation, ew York fans will doubtless be ready to support it next year, The sportsmanship and tue adher- ence to good regulations In the league has made it popular in Brooklyn as well as in Manhattan. Kips Bay Majestics added another Victory to their long string by sub- @uing the Alona Club.

PINEHURST, N. C., March 30.— Miss Glenna Collett of Providence to- day stands out as one of the most remarkable women golfors in the land. Her victory over Mra. Matthew Scam- mell of Uniontown, Pa., for the North and South Tournament champlonship here yesterday, and her recent an- nexation of the Belleair women’s title, have given her a fine start for the year of 1922. Within less than a year this nineteen-year-old girl has won half a dozen championships, so that to-day she is one of the most feared players in the game. Last June Miss Collett won the Bos- ton district championship. She holds the Rhode Island women's championship, and last summer she defeated Miss Cecil Leitch, England's great play for the Philadelphia district champion- whip. Her proficiency with the wood was impressed on the large gallery that fol- lowed her match yesterday. Four protes- sionals, Hackney, Hampton, Cruick- shank and Boyd, all long hitters, were Just ahead of this contest. They had driven from the tenth tee and waited for the finalists to go through. Mrs. Scammell drove first and got off a good straight shot that carried the pond. Miss Collett then stepped up and hammered a drive down the middle of the lane and the gallery was amazed to see her ball finish almost up with those of the professionals. There was never much doubt about the outcome of yesterday's Issue. Collett had a tremendous advantage on all of the long holes and only the fight- ing spirit of Mrs. Scammell kept her in the running. Miss Collett before the match gone far was four up. Then she seemed to play loosely, almost indifferently, Mrs, Scammell kept up her pace and at the eleventh was only one down, but Miss Collett sprinted from there on and soon drew off to a safe lead again. had ch Zahn and Capt.
