204 PRINCETON AVE. KODDEK FOR SPORTS FROM THE PRESS BOX HE big turn-overs this year have not been confined to Wall street or Main street, by any means. Nineteen thirty-one has turned up the biggest crop of new sports champions any campaign has known in a kug time. It was an process with long time rule such as Bobby Jones aod Big BKi TMden steppln; off their throws, but the rest of field has raught the spirit and made It salu year for the new generation of tltleholdcrs The spectacular victory of Helen Hicks, 20-ycar-old New York girl, over the five times winner of the national women's golf championship, Glenna Collett Vare, climaxed the establishment of a complete new list of golfing champions In England and America. Tommy Armour, the new British open champion, and Francis Ouimet, American amateur king after a 17- year Interval, are no strangers to the heights, but the others are all new to the rare altitudes Billy Burke, American open; Tom Creavy, Professional Oolfers' association; Brie Martin Smith, British amateur; Enid Wilson, British womcn'fl.

Ellsworth Vines, 10 -year-old southern Cfl-Iiforoia sophomore, smashed his way to the national tennis championship and will be difficult to dlslodgo for some years to come. Sidney AVood added a youthful name to the list of Wimbledon tennis victors, Helen Wills Moody alone among the tennis royalty of the past several years resisted all challenges her supremacy. On the International side, Santa Paula's "four horsemen" from the Argentine- galloped to victory In the American open polo tournament for the first time. Max Schmellng ot Germany clinched his claim to the heavyweight fighting crown by a knockout triumph over Bill Strib ling of Georgia. I HAS reached a point in college football where many if not most of tho "big league" head coaches cannot or will not take any part of tiis public Into their confidence except through copyrighted, trademark-registered outlets.

Sports writers seeking opinions and special stories have found themselves up against the reply: "I'm sorry, but my contract, won't permit mo to talk or have my name used," A fow outstanding coaches have consistently refused to tie themselves up with exclusive channels. A few colleges have taken to prevent their head coaches from capitalizing their reputations off the field, via the newspapers, magazines or radio, but most of them have either acquiesced or found themselves powerlesB to prevent such exploitation. "It's a difficult problem to handle," the chairman of a big college's athletic hoard remarked recently. "On the one hand, wo cannot blame coaches for taking advantage of the opportunities, legitimately, to make extra money by writing for, tho newspapers, spoaklng over the radio or endorsing various articles. On tho other, we know abuses exist and doubt the wisdom of so much commercialism.

"But how can it be controlled, except by public sontlment? The college with a famous coach, talents and name much in demand, may feel flattered or, if it raises objections, Djay lose the coach." Few football coaches have been able to resist the overtures to commercialize their reputations. Army's Ralph Irvine Sasso Is one of the most conspicuous who believes the coach's Job Is on the field. ELKII1S LEAD I Hold 6th Place In East; New River 7th; Only Undefeated And Untied And Unscored On In State Montgomery. W. Oct.

Scarlet Hurricane of Davis and Elklns. and tho Golden Bears of New River State, are the cgily undefeated, untied, and unscored on teams within the stato as the second week of tho pigskin season, ot 1931 has come to a close. While West A lrglnla university was losing to tho Rams of Fordham, and tho Wesloyan Bobcats were helng trampled on by tho of New York university, the Scarlet Htirrlcan was blowing over Dakota Weslcyan university, 62 to 0 to closo the Forest Festival at Elklns, at the satuo time tho Golden Beans were hammering out a decisive win over the strong Wilmington college eleven, at Wilmington, Ohio, 41 to 0. These two decisive victories placed the Scarlet Hurricane in sixth position in scoring power In the East, and the Golden Bears-In seventh place, as the leading eastern elevenB continued to win lopsided scores over the second weekend. Playing a total of three gameg the Scarlet Hurricane has run over all competition by large scores.

To open the season, St. Vlncenta was trampled on, 11 to 0, then Concord was defeated 32 to 0, white Dakota Wesleyau wag tho last victim as 62 points were holled up by the Henderson machine. The Golden Bears, although only playing two games, merely lag bo- hind the Senators by four "pints. Opening up against the Beimel college at Charleston the Boars had a romp and won 69 to 0, featured, hy long runs for scores hy Davy, Everhart, and (Rado. In the game with Wilmington, the Bears were tated to get a beating, but springing a surprise the Bears showed dazzling speed and power to completely smother the Buckeyes under a ii to 0 score, the worst drubbing that Wilmington had received In 15 years.

Again the speeding New River backs led the puck as Everhurt scored thro times, one on a Ga yard jaunt on a spinner, and Davy tiod his mark by sprinting for more points. 666 LIQUID OR TABLETS Rellevot a Headache or Neuralgia In 30 mltiutoe, checks a Cold the tint day, and check!

Hlnes, University of North Carolina, defeated John Martin, University of Virginia, here today In the finals of the third annual Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate tennis tournament. 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.

Martin started strong, getting his loop drive going consistently, while his backhand was excellent. It was near the middle of the first set before Hlnes solved this type of game, and started ills clever chop stroke, which he followed to the net well. From this on ho seemed to have full control of tho situation, and tho match developed into a question of how many games Martin could win, rather the match being in further doubt, Martin played well, but made some bad errors at critical points that cost him a few games, while Hlnes was coming through on the points that counted most. The gallery gave both players a nice hand during the play. Right after tho singles Hlnes went' into action to help win the doubles cup for North Carolina.

Paired with Harley Shuford they defeated Newell and James Delafleld, University ot Virginia, with a score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. The University of Virginia team had wonderful services, but lacking speed and control on their ground strikes and net game, were not able to offer much resistance against the continuous activity of Hlnes and Shuford.

Ens was given his unconditional release yesterday. REPLACE ENS AS Given Unconditional Release By Pittsburgh Club; New Manager Has Not Been Announced Pittsburgh, Oct. 8 Jewel Ens, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates since late In tho 1929 season, was given his unconditional release by tho club today. It was said a new manager would not be announced at this time. Tho Pirates finished in fifth place in the National league In both 1930 and 1931, tho two full years of Ens' managership.

It became known some weeks ago that ho would not he retained as the Buccaneer pilot, In which position he succeeded Donle Bush. Ens, who was born In St. Louis August 24, 19S9, served the Pirates as player and later as coach before ho was elevated to manager. He also has played with St. bouts, Dallas, Houston, Chattanooga, Providence and Syracuse.

He was once manager of the Dallas club of the Texas league for a short time. He makes his homo In St. bouls. George Gibson, former Pirate manager, camo here from hie farm near Mount Brydgea, to watch the Pittsburgh team In action during tho last, days of the 1931 season, and this gave rise to speculation that ho would he offered his old Joh. Gibson resigned as manager In June.

PITT LINE TOUGH Morgautown, W. Oct. Pitt line this year will compare favorably with the best lines that Pitt has over lied," said West Virginia university's chief scout, Ira E. Rodgers. today, when asked regarding reports that the Panthers this year have the best line la the history of the school.

"Pitt has always had good he continued," and I wouldn't want to say that this line Is better than that of the Tournament of Roses team in 1927, nor better than the lines of 1916 and 1917 when Sutherland, himself, Seldel, Herrcn and other great stare were members of the team. However, it. Is good and will compare right along with them. "Practically every man on the line is a senior, a veteran who has seen regular service before, and they're big and aggressive. Ot course I only saw them against Iowa and Iowa had a center and several guards out of the game.

But I don't think It would have made much difference It they had had all their regulars In there. When Iowa was on tho offensive, there would he three or four Pitt linemen in their waiting for the back to get the ball almost before it was snapped from center." TATE, NOWLAN SHINE Emory, Oct. Nowlan, tho boy whose kicking caused no little talk down at Richmond, Saturday, gave a ball-carrying and punting exhibition in a scrimmage today that labeled him as a sure starter against the Lynchburg Hornets, Saturday night. Injuries to Peters, Starke, and Francisco made It necessary to shift the lanky lad Into tho hackfleld. In the previous games this season he has occupied tho right end position.

Although weighing 169 pounds, he possesses abundance of drive, and Is a good kicker and passer. Russell Tate, star of the Richmond game last week is troubled with a bad arch and may not be able to play against the Hornets. He reported today for the first time this week but did not engage In any of the rough work. If Tate does not recover sufficiently the Wasps will be minus the services of four flrst- slring backs Saturday night. The forward wall, with the exception of a few bruises, is In fine shape.

READY FOR COMEBVCK Blacks-burg, Oct. 8 Although its lineup for the game with Davidson here Saturday remains doubtful, Virginia Tech's eleven is ready for a gallant effort to find the comeback trail. It is confident that It can follow in the steps of other Gobbler teams that havo come hack undaunted after defeat to scale the gridiron heights. Like the team of '96 that took Washington and Lee's scalp after bowing to Virginia of the team of '30 that was crushed by Vanderbllt yet came hack to win a championship, the Gobblers of 1931 redoubled efforts after defeat. Spirit has mn high in the Poly camp all week.

The players forgot tho sting of their 40 to 0 walloping by George in the thrill of their long gains and frequent threats to score. The Gobblers gave away touchdowns by rulsplays and fizzled scoring chances by unsteadiness in the pinch, but the sophomore backs are learning fast and are profiting by every experience. They are typical sopho more gridmen, eager and excitable but are gaining the steadiness of veterans with every gome. The probable lineup will be, Buck Chandler and Benny Palmer, euds; Harry Stark and BUI GrlnU3, tackles; Gene Hlte and Jim Swart, guards; Captain Gene Brown, Bill Porterfleld, quarterback; Carl Robison and Sam Hard wick, halfbacks, and Bunt Ottley, fullback. VILLANOVA GREAT CLUB Durham, N.

Oct. a ranking eastern team (o this section of the country for the first time since the Duke-Pitt game in 1929, Duke athletic officials are expecting one of the largest crowds of the season when tho Blue Devils meet Villanova here Saturday. Coach Harry Struhldreher of the Wildcats not only has the most formidable first eleven of his regime at Villanova, but he also has the best reserve material. It is never necessary for him to tire Ijjs first he haB shock troops and thqn more shock troops. FIN Pittsburgh, October S.

(IP) Johnny Luch, husky West Virginian, was at fullback In place of the lightweight Jimmy Clark as Pitt went through the final workout today in getting ready for the We.st Virginia Mountaineers here Saturn- day. Luch is almost certain to get a starting joh. Rip Collins, right end, will likely do the punting instead of Bobby Hogan. The Pitt lineup as it appeared in signal drill will be Hlrschberg and Collins, ends; MacMurdo and Quat- ee, tackles; Milllgan and Morris, guards; Daugherty, center; Hogan, quarterback; Heller and Relder, halves, and Luch, fullback, BACKFIELD" ADVANTAGE Pittsburgh, October 8. The Duquesne university football team, which opposes West Virginia Wesleyan here tomorrow night, will outweigh the Buckhannon squad two pounds on an average, but Wesleyan will have an advantage In the backfield, where the four hacks, a formidable combination, will drive against the Dukes.

Howard and Art Bachtel, Paul Beverldge and Cliff Battles make up the quartet. Coach Cebe Ross and his Wesleyan gridders arrived here this evening and a practice session was held under the floodlights at Forbes field, where the Friday night game will be played.
