Tribune photos. LESTER ADDS ACCURACY TO FAST GAME Bv HELEN HULL JACOBS WASHINGTON. C. April 7 -Suddenly, out of the early tournament season. Lester Stoefen has emerged as a winner over most of the players who were considered certainties for positions' on the American Davis Cup team.

His success in Bermuda and the national indoor championships will probably mark the beginning of a rapid climb to first ranking in this country. With all the physical attributes of a champion that were so marked in the case of Ellsworth Vines, Stoefen might take up where Ellsworth Vines left off. Nqevelops accuracy Apparently he has eradicated the one outstanding impediment to success in his game of last year unsteadiness. Watching him play in the past season, one had the impression that there were great poten tialities in nisi. fame tout that Ins frequent inacctacy cost him lar too many crucial points.

His game, spectacular, unreserved, has acquired the elements of accuracy the same quick development that established both Tilden and Vines as champions almost overnight. Perhaps the exodus of Vines from the amateur ranks, which left the field more or less open, has been incentive enough to Stoefen to perfect his He was for a time the most lethargic player I have ever seen. Seldom did he appear to exert hiiWJJkor to give his best to any match. This could not ave been the case In his recent tournament' matches. It is significant that the national men's champions since the reign of Tilden have had great heighth to their advantage.

John Doeg, who succeeded Tilden for a year, was over six feet. Vines, who succeeded Doeg, was several inches over six feet, and Stoefen, I believe, is taller than Vines. AID IN FORE COURT Inasmuch as men's tennis is moving more and more into the fore court, tallness plays a great part In success. Obviously a player of Stoefen's heighth will be difficult to lob over or to pass at the net, and will require' fewer steps to cover the court than the player of average heighth. In a long match, this conservation of energy is bouna to be good for several points.

I should imagine that the men who compete against Stoefen must feel somewhat the same as the women who compete against Hilda Krawlnkel. To the women Hilda seems, and it, so unusually tail that one constantly feels the necessity of lobbing especially high to clear her racket, and of placing the ball Into the very corners of the court to force her to run as much as an ordinarily Well-placed drive would force most women to run. Stoefen's margin of superiority over the other American boys has lo far been fairly wide. Aside from Fred Perry and Bunny Austin or England, who, if they continue to play as they did last year, might be expected to beat Stoefen, there is really no one for him to fear, save Jack Crawford. The outcome of a match with Crawford would depend very much upon the Australian's acclimatization.

He finds It difficult to become accustomed to foreign courts without sufficient practice on them, and even on his own courts Fred Perry has been able to win a majority of matches from him. PLAY INCONSISTENT Of course it is difficult to predict Just how much Improvement has taken place in the games of Vivian McGrath and Adrian Quist. Potentially, they are great, but their tournament tennis has been inconsistent. Few of the critics hold much hope for America in this year's Davis Cup matches, but they forget two things: that the matches are to be played at Wimbledon, where our1 men always seem to play their best; and that neither Perry nor Austin has ever reached the peak on the center court.

Lazear and Emerson top the list of hoop stars, with Supervisors P.ob Ilolman, Gordon Bain and Harold Quayle entitled to a share of the glory as the coaches under whom the sniall cnuers made such nn impressive showing. SLQCOIA HIGH CLASS Sequoia, it was expected, would, close the tournament with flying colors. It was the grijup of small lads from this playground who made a four-weeks tour of the courts demonstrating how basketball should be played and terminated their exhibition jaunt with a three-game series at the Oakland Auditorium during the I. A. A.

finals. They were given a thunderous ovation and almost stole the show. Lazrar has been competing in tournament sports for only three seasons hut in that short time have proven a foe to be reckoned with among the top-notchers in all sports. The Athletes cleaned up in basketball and they are expected to do the same thing on the diamond. And Emerson? Well reduced to facts and figures, this Westside playground probably has more championships to its credit than any other local elementary school.

And the main reason for the enviable record may be directly traced, we suspect, to the support arid enthusiasm of W. A. Bonner, principal. RKVERTS TO SPORTS Principal llenner at one tune was a physical education instructor and through the years has maintained his contact with the playground and by virtue of his training and experience is been able when occasion decreed to submerge his title! role of "head man" into that of an equally efficient referee or i lost loyal rooter in the stands.
