Doeg- and Lott, the country's third and fourth ranking players, respectively, stand out as the logical favorites unless Frank Hunter, the veteran who ranks second only to Bill Tilden, takes it into his head to enter one or both of these tournaments to try conclusions wltti' the younger generation once otyfettlers of the South Loup country.

NEW YORK iP) For the first time in recent years, the east appears to hold the upper hand in te classic Kentucky Derby, scheduled to be run over the historic Churchill Downs turf May 17. Even with Harry Payne Whitney choosing to withhold the highly touted pair of Whichone and Boojum for Jater three-year-old renewals, the eastern owners face that famed May Saturday with a field of three-year-olds that far outclass on paper the offerings of other sections, of the country.

Leading eastern contingent in two-year-old records and future book -preference, are Gallant Fox of William-. Woodward's Belalr Stud and the diminutive Flying Heels of' Gifford A. Cochran's stable. Bookmakers of the country are quoting 8 to 1 that the Be-lair Stud colors will be flying in front when the band of thorobreds come dashing down the home stretch rat the Downs. Flying Heels is considered a 10 to 1 proposition, altho some bookmakers are offering as high as 15 to 1 on the gallant son of Flying Ebony--sensation of the 1925 derby.

Gallant Fox O. K. Gallant Fox looks and acta like a stayer a quality very essential in the gallop over the mile and a quarter. He is by Sir uauanad ill and a half brother to Petee Wrack, a ranking handicap horse of last season. During the 1929 season Gallant Fox won the Flash Stakes at Saratoga, the Junior.

Champion states at Saratoga and tmrd oe-W. R. Coe's Caruso in the United States at aSratoga and third behind Whichone and Hi-Jack in the Belmont Futurity. His winnings for the year amounted to $19,890, If juvenile records won the Blue Grass classic, Flyiitg Heels, the midget marvel of 1929, could be crowned today. This, hope J.nd pride of Gifford Cochran won seven ou of ten races, including the Tiajuana Futurity in March and the Pimlico Futurity in November tojile up earnings of 579,450.

High in the estimation of those who. claim Xa know are. Graham Fair Vanderbilt's Desert Light, which shares second place in the future books along with Flying Heels and Dedicate, Frederick Burton's western owned horse.

Due to the limited number of concrete courts, outdoor practice so far has been confined to veteran players, bat the squad will lie en larged when the clay courts are in shape. Drake will be the opponent in the first meet, April 16, at Ames. Merle Robins, Ames, captain of the team for the "second year, probably will play the number one position. John McMurphy, Wayne. and Karl Hendricks, Newton, are the other returning letter men.

Fred Welsh, Ames, a minor letter man. is also available. In addition to the four vetesans, at least one graduate of last vear's freshman team is expected to make a serious bid for a position on Captain Rumsey Campbell's sauad. He is Jerrold Feroe, Ames.

Pitching Department Is the Only Thing to Bother Manager Shotton Alex Will Help. BY BRIAN BELL.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (JP Burt Shotton is so firmly convinced that his Phillies are no longer jokes in the National league that he is willing to come right out in a blanket endorsement of the hard hitters. Burt is not suggesting that his team will win the pinnant but he is not backward in declaring tnat it will be no pushover for any team in the league. "We have the hitters," said Shotton, "and hitting makes runs. If we the pitching I think we have a right to expect we will cause a lot of trouble in our league.

The hitting records of last year speak for themselves. We have nothing to worry about in that department, and as far as that goes in any other department, ex cept pitching. "And who doesn wonder at Wis time of the year about the pitch ing? Old Alex (Grover Cleveland Alexander is sure to helD us. in fact he has already helped us. Not only will he win some games for us, but he will save some others and he is working hard giving tne THE --2, Thru action of the game, fores-tation and parks commission this week, the state is the possessor of two more public fishing grounds and game sanctuaries.

One, purchased from Dr. Charles Tenner of Memphis, for $15,000, consists 142 acres, seventy-seven of which will be flooded for a fish pond. The other, donated by H. E. Pressey of Oconto, includes eighty of land on both sides of the South Loup river in Custer county.

Secretary O'Connell of the commission announces that the Memphis lake will be closed immediately to fishing this year, but may be readyby next. Three carloads of spawner pan fish will be planted as soon as the lake area is flooded. Silver creek runs adjacent to the site and will be used to create the largest artificial lake in western Nebraska. Along one side of this tract runs the Wahoo-Ashland high which probably will be graveled by the time- fishing is opened, making the place accessible to persons from the state's two largest cities Lincoln and Omaha. Thus eastern Nebraska gets a share in fishing opportunities that the west and north sections have long enjoyed.

This purchase, together with the group of lakes at Louisville acquired last year, presents several kinds; of fishing. The Louisville i sandpits wilt contain game fish as well as the small pan Memphis fishing will, be for the cane pole angler. Naturally the man who has time will go elsewhere for his sport, some place where it won't be so crowded. But the working man who has no time but Sundays will get a big kick out of these two spots. In regard to the generous donation of Mr.

Pressey, the Custer County Chief has this to say: "The land is located eighteen miles south of Broken Bow, at the bridge which crosses the South Loup on the state highway between Broken Bow and Oconto. Seventeen acres lies to the east of the highway and the balance to the west of it and the South Loup flows thru the entire length of the gift tract "This is one of the most highly H. E. PRESSEY. developed and most beautiful tracts of land on this scenic stream.

Stately trees, that have been carefully protected by Mr. Pressey for a long period of time, furnish a beautiful setting and plenty of shade. Nature has de signed it for a delightful recrea tion grounds and Mr. Pressey has added to tbe natural beauty by giving it that care and attention which only the lover of nature, of trees and flowers and of outdoor life can fully appreciate. "The gift is not a new thought on the part of Mr.

Pressey. He has had it iu mind for. some time and had discussed on former occasions his desire to leave to the state this beauty spot, feeling that, in the hands of the state and under the supervision of the game, for-estatlon and parks commission, it would become a recreation ground, that would be of benefit to future 8. TE Famous French Resort Famed for Fine Courts and Clubs. Is THRIVED BEFORE THE WAR Dohertys, Alexander, Wilding Were Stars of Pre-War Period Cochet Present Ace.

BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, II. Copyrlsjht 1930, by N. A. N.

A. CANNES, Franc i 1 I reached the Riviera and started to play around the' various clubs, I never realized 'what an important place the Riviera held in tennis The records of its championships before the war read like a page put of a "tennis who's who." The most Interesting series of champions is without doubt the list of holders of the Monte Carlo title. Here, one finds names that have graced the championships of England, France and the United States. Glance along the list for a moment: 1897, R. F.

Doherty. 1900, 1901 H. h. Doherty. J902, 1903, 1904 R.

F. Doherty. 1905. 190ft R. F.

Alexander. The flnt Amer ican victory and by a man whose name will ilwsyi eland In our lentils history as one or our greatest aouDies players. 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914 A. F. Wildin.

Then Came the War. There was no tournament from 1915 to 1918 and the list of win- ners from 1919 to 1927 held no comparable to the prewar "days. Baron von Kehrling was the best. In 1928, Henri Cochet reestablished the glory of the event by his victory, which he repeated in 1929. The reverse Is true of the wo- men's events.

Sprinkled over the years 1901, when the first women's event was held, until 1919, one finds occasional, great names but few in comparison to the men's list, but since the war read this! 1919, 1920, mi Susanna Lenslen. 1922 Elisabeth Ryan. 1923 Kitty Mackane Godfrey." 1924. 192ft KHzabeth Ryan. 192ft Helen Willi.

1927 KUaabeth Ryan. 1928 F.ileen Bennett, 1929 Betty Nuthail. Has Promising Future. The Nice tennis club has an Interesting, array of names once more showing the complete sway of the Doherty brothers, who from 1899 to 1906 inclusive won the "champlonnaats du -Sttdf de la France," as the event was called. From 1907 to 1914, inclusive, Wilding had four victories, Max Decu'gis three and Fred Alexander one.

Since the war the names of Rene "LaCoste (1924 and 1925) and Baron de Morphrgo (1926 1 ara outstanding. In the women's singles one finds an Interesting list including Mrs. Lambert Chambers (1908 and 1914), Suzanne Lenglen five times and once each for Helen Wills, Elizabeth Ryan, Baroness von Reznicek, the German star, and Elia d' Alvarez. Suzanne Lenglen won the club championship at Nice, which was her father's club. less than eight times from 1914 to 1926.

The Menton lawn tennis club adds more interesting annals. One finds the name of the English star of years ago, E. R. Allen, as winner in 1903. Such names as Ritchie, Wilding, Alexander and Decugis complete the years from 1903 to 1914.

Then came the same lapse from the opening of the war until 1926 when Cochet won, followed in 1927 by de Morpurgo. There, is a very famous mixed doubles trophy at Menton which in later years has deevloped into an international meeting with both players of a team required to be of the same nationality. This was not always so. In the last few years one finds the names of Lenglen and Cochet in 1924. What a team they must have been! Lenglen and LaCoste in 1925.

Vlasto and -Cochet in 1926. Ryan and Scovel in 1927, 'America's only Victory, and Cochet once more this time with Mile. Marjollet in 1928. This rec ord leads one to believe Cochet Is about seven-eights of any mixed doubles he is on. These statistics, interesting in themselves as a picture of the great tennis the Riviera witnessed in the past, are more interesting as an indication of what Riviera tennis will become once more in the future.

Every year should find more of the great stars of the world taking their vacations on the Riviera and grasping this chance to meet their friendly rivals on its courts. Track Outlook Good at Chadron Normal CHADRON. With a fine array of cinder artists reporting, the track prospects for Chadron college are bright. Five lettermen are back and will lead the squad. The lettermen are Ray Albro, Cheney, Burrows, Born and Powell.

IIS MATCHES Duffield and Aspit Had Best Chance for Selection-Will Elect Leader at End of Season. BY RONALD W. WAGONER. LOS ANGELES (UP) University of Southern California has joined numerous other universities of the country in "the noble experiment" of trying to run a football team without a duly elected captain.

Coach Howard Jones has said little about the lack of a permanent captain, but it is understood that he avow the plans for next season at least. Sport followers believe it will fit right into the Jones scheme of things and probably result in a better balanced eleven. The outstanding candidates for the captaincy were: Marshall Duf field, fast stepping Trojan quarterback, alid Marger Aspit, who alternated with Harry. Edelson, a senior, as "blocking" halfback during the past season. High Regard for Pair.

Jones is known to have a high regard for Duffield, who alternated with "Race Horse" Russel Saunders, and he also is pleased with the work Aspit has turned In during two years on the squad. It is apparent, however, from tentative winter plans of the coach, that neither player will have a "cinched" job next fall. Duffield must run competition with Ernie Pinckert, a sophomore at present, and Orv Mohler, frosh quarterback, who was rated one ot the best prep school athletes ever developed in the southern part of the state. In and Outers, While Duffield will be a big gun in every game, it is predicted that the Santa Monica youth will be rushed in and out of the battle as strategy sees fit. Duffield is a dazzling open field runner and works like a charm after the opposition has been "set" to stop a plunger of the Sounders or Pinckert type.

Aspit also will be in and out of the game, it is believed, due to the strenuous nature of his duties as "blocking" half. If Mohler and Duffield do most of the quarterback work, Aspit and Pinckert probably will carry most of the interference burden. The 1930 teaptaincy arrangement will allow Jones to plan ahead and confer leadership upon the man he thinks will general the attack of the game at hand Most seniors on the team probably will have the mythical honor before the season closes. At the end of the 1930 season the lettermen will meet and select a player who will be known in the records as the "1930 captain." Panthers Trim Bears in Final Spring Tussle Continued from Page 9A.) Frahm's brilliant 40-yard gallop around the Bear right side. He had beautiful interference and nearly slipped by the safety man.

Jack Miller intercepted a Panther pass as the half -ended. -----Mathis, Young, Frahm and Pen ney were in the Panther backfield as the third quarter got under way. Frahm returned the opening klckoff to his own 37-yard line. Young and Frahm smashed the line for two tirst downs before the Blue rorwards neid. on an exchange of kicks the red jerseys gained possession in midiieid.

Frahm Takes Command. Young squirmed thru for seven yards and added three more on an off tackle thrust. He dashed to the 16 yard line on a pretty 22 yard sprint With a touchdown in sight, Ely spoiled the picture by intercepting a forward flip and re turning to his 25 yard line. Milne duplicated Ely's effort intercepting the oval just at a time when the Bears were launching desperate pass attack and the quarter ended with the Panthers in possession deep in Blue terri tory. Here Frahm took command and almost single handed battered, dived and ripped his way to the final touchdown effort.

His pass to Milne for the extra point was incomplete. The game ended 12-0. The heavy red forwards played an Important part in the triumph. Chick Justice, Marlon Broadstone Roscoe Kroger, and Jim Milne each played a hangup game while McPherson, substitute center, was an outstanding star The Bear line waged a determined tight out it was Everett Kreizinger. Bellwood half back that claimed the spotlight.

He backed up the line in great shape and was responsible tor almost third 'of the tackles. Mathis and Maniey performed well as signal barkers altho Louis Brown delivered when he was given the opportunity in the sec ond and fourth periods. The game is the last on the spring program' but the gridders will be given another week of hard work before hanging up the moleskins until tall. The lineups: Panthers Bears.

But this la not, perhaps, the most outstanding' point in his life The particular thing that stands out in hit activities is the development of his home lands. He has planted almost innumerable varieties ot trees ana shrubs and has properly cared for tnem untu they became a stately forest The flower garden which be and his good wife, during her life time maintained each season attracted very great attention, and his garden and orchard have always been outstanding. Thus it would appear that the gift of this splendid tract of land to the state of Nebraska, is part of a carefully considered program ana a deep desire on the part or Mr. Pressey to see that the work he Is so deeply interested In will be carried on and perpetuated, per haps in a greater way after his day of usefulness has Dope on the Eel. Twenty-five years were spent by" a Danish scientist in learning, the breeding-ground of the eetrHe discovered that the eel, like the Chinook salmon, spawns but then These and other Interesting facts concerning the eel were told by George Dayton In a talk before the.

Izaak league the other night The, eel larva, Mr. Dayton. plained, requires three years to make its way from the breeding-ground, 700 miles northeast of Haiti, to fresh water streams In America and Europe. There is remains until the urge to reproduce-, its species comes on, generally at the fourteenth or fifteenth year. Then it makes the long Journey to the spawning area and after its task is complete, dies.

Another of the unexplained mysteries of life is the fact that the larvae always return to the land of their parents. Apparently without any other guide than instinct, the young eels migrate either to Europe or to this continent, -depending upon where its progenitors came from. This fact has been proven by comparison of 5 tbe American eel with the European species, one having a few less vertebrae than the other. Why the one kind should turn to the left the other kind to the right, is, something for mortals to consider' but never to discover. Heavy Spring Flight Are ducks and geese increasing?" This is a question many a sports-'; man is pondering these days after" viewing the heavy spring flights.

It is possible that this section ia being used as a flyway more thla year than for many years past but indications point to the fact that there actually are more birds. A farmer who has lived decades near Arbor, which is dose to many good wild fowl ponds, says that both ducks and geese, but especially the honkers, were more numerous this year than they have been for thirty A central Nebraska farmer went that one better and told Deputy, Warden Ling he hadn't seen so many geese in all his life, and he's fifty-two years old. The only drawback in the heavy spring flight is that the poor souls who must have wild meat pay tie attention to game laws. There-has been a good deal of spring, shooting this year. This can be discerned by approaching a flock, resting on a pond.

They will rise and leave before you are within a block of tbem unless there Is ade quate cover to keep out of their i sight. They are more wild, if anything, than during tbe open sea- son. Perhaps the coming generation won't be quite so uncivilized in the matter of -spring AS for their fathers and older brothers, the only thing is to plaster on a stiff fine whenever needed. -r- fc-A vfi It Lincoln's Y.
