Then, fourth down and the goal-line to go. they fell short by less than a foot and Schneider who, in the first half, had punted 60 yards on the carry, kicked out of danger for the moment. BUllken Offense Improves. With an attack which now was hitting on all cylinders, the Billikens started again. Kggler took the punt and ran to the 18-yard line, straight-arming several would-be tacklers on his merry way.

McConachie added four more and McKenzie got three, Hannegan, head down, plowing to the four-yard mark before being stopped. O'Leary replaced McKenzie and carried the ball on the first play but failed to gain. Thereupon, Eggler shot a forward pass to McConachie who ran over the line for the second touchdown. Eggler was called upon to make the extra point which he did with a drop-kick. Father Time Interfered greatly with the use of numbers by the St.

Louis players. In the first half all was well, but in the fourth quarter the shades of night had fallen fast and no one without a powerful telescope could have pierced the low visibility to tell which team had the ball. For St. Louis Schaeffering, Eggler and McConachie starred on the offense. On the defense the whole team was good as it has been all season.

Such gains as the Texans made were few and far between and they kicked on every opportunity. Now and then a visitor would actually make five or six yards on a play, but his teammates, properly shocked at such temerity, would not follow up the advantage thus gained. A splendid attraction is booked for next week, when St. Louis will engage the husky South Dakota University team. XEN SCOTT RESIGNS AS COACH AT ALABAMA U.

Two touchdowns, one due Indirectly to repeated offside penalties in the early part of the game, gave Bucknell a 14-to-0 victory over Lehigh University today. Throughout the first half Lehigh was on the defensive with the ball hovering near its goal post. Exchange of punts lost ground repeatedly, calling for all the strength of the Lehigh team to halt the aggressiveness of Bucknell. At the start of the third quarter, however, Lehigh launched a determined offensive, but it was stopped by Bucknell. when the goal posts of the latter were in striking distance.

In the last period, Julian picked up a fumbled forward pass and raced 85 yards for the second touchdown. WHY PITCHERS LIKE TO SEE EVANS BEHIND BAT Hesitency on the part of umpires to call a third strike caused many ot the wrangles the past season. An umpire hates to call the third one. and unless a pitcher cuts the plate he is likely to find the umpire calling it a ball. Pitchers rarely cut the plate.

They work for the corners. The umpire gives them the corner until the batsman has two strikes, and then the umpire calls the same "corne" ball bad. Bill Evans "gives" the pitcher the corner after he has two strikes on a battsr, an-J for this reason pitchers would sooner see Evans behind the plat than cry man In th ioag'ia.

New Tennis Club Stadium. The West Side Tennis Club of New York contemplates constructing a new concrete stadium to seat 20.000 if assured of the award of bl tennis fixtures for a number of years. For instance, there is Miss Helen Wills, the 16-year-old California girl, who has been upsetting the women's tennis firmament by suddenly popping out as the brightest star in all its galaxy. Miss Wills is picked by all the experts in tennis as a coming champion of champions. Without doubt in another year she will eclipse the great French champion.

Mile. Len-glen. as she will surely eclipse Mrs. Mallory and other American racquet esperts. Last year, when Miss Wills was 15 and was playing at home as a member of the Girls' Tennis Club of Berkeley.

she won the Girls' National Tennis Championship. She beat Miss Virginia Carpenter of Philadelphia in straight sets, 6 3, 6 3. Miss Wills Masters Every Stroke. This year, on her second trip Bast, she was runner up to Mrs. Mallory in the national championships.

When she travels she is always chaperoned by her mother. Helen is a big girl for her age, big limbed and powerful. She has a wrist that a man could be proud of. Yet she is only IS and looks and dresses the part of a 16 -year-old school girl. She wears a middy blouse, short skirt, white stockings, white shoes 'and a large white eye-shade that she designed and made herself, and which she looks upon with the pride of an Inventor.

Miss Wills' technique is superior to of any other girl or woman player. She Is mastering every stroke. Her work is nearly faultless in her baseline game, net and overhead as well as In ground strokes. Her technique is superior to that of Mrs. Mallory, who has mastered only a strong baseline game.

She should win from Mrs. Mallory when they meet again, as she has all the shots. There is only one other player like her, and that is Miss Mary K. Browne ot California, who taught her the game. Miss Collet ay Lonjt; Driver.

Another remarkable girl athlete Is Miss Glenna Collett, the national woman golf champion. Miss Collett was born at Providence, R. I. She Is now 19. Her parents were both athletic, and they encouraged Glen-na's first Interest In sport.

When she was a small girl she played a great deal of tennis, but as she grew taller she turned to golf. Her first tournament was at Apa-wamis In 1919. A curious thing about this Is that two other famous new champions also played their first tournament in that well known New York State course, Jess Sweet-ser, the national amateur champion, and Gene Sarazen, the national open champion. Miss Collett is five feet ei-ht Inches tall, built and powerful. She is the longest woman driver In the United States, and for that matter in the world.

She drives a longer ball than Miss Cecil Leltch of England, who has achieved much fame with her golf wallop. Last year Miss Leltch waa at Hollywood. N. and Miss Collett outdrove her all through the Women's National Championship Tournament. That she plays a corking- game can be seen from the fact that she won the medal score again this year, when she also won the champion ship by beating Mrs.

Cavin in the final match. Shooting from the men's tees her scores average from T8 to 82 on hard courses. Her rise to. fa me within 12 months has been so sensational that it seems likely she will establish a lot of new course records for women to shoot at. Swimming the Girls', Star Sport, In some of the other sports our new girl champions are even younger.

Especially in swimming. Perhaps this is because swimming is natural sport, requiring little training or coaching, and depending very much upon the youthful swimmer's inclination to play in the water instead of on dry land. The youngest member of the American Olympic games team at Amsterdam a couple of years ago was Miss Aileen Riggin of New York. Aileen was only 14. But she started her career in the water at the age of 6.

in Manila Bay. where she learned to swim like a duck. Her father was a paymaster in the TJ. S. navy.

She swam in several salt seas of the Orient up to the time she was 10, and picked up a few tricks of fancy diving. Returning to this country after going around the world with her family. Aileen joined the Women's Swimming Association of New York and was coached by L. de B. Hand-ley, himself a famous swimmer.

Miss Riggin had been through a year's training as a ballet dancer, but swimming Interested her more than twlrUng. as soon all her spare time was spent in the water. Bliss Bauer Beats Men's Records. Aileen won the trick diving contests at the Olympics with Miss Wainwright. and her performances were up to the standards established by the men in similar competitions.

At home she won the Middle Atlantic and Metropolitan championships in diving, and many championships in swimming. Her swimming records at the age of 13 were astonishing, and she is one of the best girl swimmers in the country today. Another great swimmer is Miss Sybil Bauer of the Illinois A. who has made scores of records, and lately has been busy beating the world's best made by men swimmers. She is the only woman athlete who has succeeded in doing this.

On a recent trip to Bermuda Miss Bauer performed one of the greatest feats ever recorded in amateur sports. She broke her own world's record for women in the 440-yard backstroke race by the great margin of 13 4-5s covering the distance in the remarkable time of 6m. 24 4-6s. This also broke the world's record held by Harold Kruger of Honolulu, long a famous swimmer and breaker of world's records, by a margin of 3 l-Ss. The extraordinary speed made by Miss Bauer swimming on her back, and without the advantage of a plunging start, can be seen from the fact that the fastest quarter ever covered by Miss Ethelda Bliebtrey, Olympic champion, free style, was only four seconds faster.

Last July Miss Bauer won several national championships at Manhattan Beach and broke seven world's records at different distances, swimming in her favorite style. Puppy Inspired Miss Wainwright. Helen Wainwright. IE-year-old swimming marvel and'wlnner ta th 4 Olympic games, comes from Corona. New York.

She has won 15 Cham- plonships. She says she learned to swim when she was almost a baby. She saw a puppy dog thrown into the water. It swam out. Miss Helen thought she ought to -be able to do as well, and began experimenting.

Result, in a few years she began breaking world records. When she was' only 13 she swam a hundred yards In lm, 14s. But that was nothing. One day when Helen was 16 she broke the women's records for one mile-, the half mile. 1000 yards, 1320 yards, and 1S00 vards, incidentally defeating Miss Hilda James of England, another young girl of only 17.

One of the greatest girl swimmers in the world Is Gertrude Ederle. now' 17 years old. who started paddling around when she was only nine. Miss Ederle never trains. She Just swims when she feels like going swimming.

She eats whatever she wants. But she holds a lot of corking records. Her mark for 300 yards. 8:58 2-5 cut 10 and a fifth seconds off the old mark. She warn 400 yards In 6m.

22 where the old record was Cm. 02 2-5s. Her 400 meter record was 22 l-5s. below the old mark, her quarter mile in 5.54 3-6s cut 21s off of the best previous performance for her sex and at 500 yards Miss Ederle smashed the former record, flnishinc in 6m. 45 l-5s.

There aw girl athletes in many other branches of sport, playing basketball, skating, runninr. jumping and throwing weights In field days, racing boats, track and field sports are cutting into dancing, and the ice cream and chocolate drop business seems to be la for aa awful drop.
