It is conceivable that Stoefen may tip the scales in favor of America by capturing at least one singles match.

Should he win two, In the interxone as well as challenge play at Wimbledon, the classic cup would be just about as good as on its way back home, for the Americans consider the doubles team of George Lott and Wil-mer Allison a "cinch" to beat any foreign combination. Stoefen'i showing in the singles probably means he will be relieved of responsibility in the doubles, al-the he and Lott now are holders of the national doubles championship. Allison's days as a Davis Cup singles player apparently being ended. His experience makes him a logical teammate for Lott Wood has not devoted as much time as our other hopefuls to the preliminaries of the seaapn but he cannot be counted out of the singles picture until the candidates are put thru their paces by Capt Norris Williams at Philadelphia early in May.

Coach Mast Build Team From Scholars With 78 Average. BY JOHN LARDNER Oorjrifbt. 1M4, ay the NANA, taw. (Tnr Jeemal aa4 ether aewpaarr. NEW YORK.

There is plenty of moral in the story of Benny the builder, tho the story is just beginning. Benny is a young man who emerged from Michigan some years ago and started looking for a football spot In the east He dropped in at Yale, but there was too much of the old Eli friction to suit him. He tried pro football and did pretty well with it for a while. But what Benny (remove those whiskers) Friedman really wanted was a coaching spot He had some Ideas on the subject of coaching He was a bit outspoken about them, which didn't make the going xany easier. Since there were no easy spots avauarue, ne iook one of the toughest in the country.

There are very few colleges like the College of the City of New York, better known to its intimates as CCN.Y. In the first place, its students have got to be residents of greater New York, whether they like it or not In the second place, they must have an entrance examination average of something like 78 percent The boys of C. C. N. Y.

are small and smart Most football players are big and, to put it brutally, a trifle slow on the pick-up in studies. Benny, as head coach of CC.NJ, must produce a blend of the 78 percent scholar and the broad-backed athlete, California style. It'S the kind of thing Luther Bur bank would have liked to tinker with. Banks on Common Sense. There are innumerable ways of building up a football team.

Most of them involve cash and have been mentioned disparagingly by the, Carnegie foundation for" the advancement of teaching. Field ing H. Yost the original wizard solved the problem when he first came to Michigan by bringing along a handpicked flock of Call fornia redwoods. This, history tells us, led to the creation of a freshman eligibility rule in the Big Ten, Friedman expects to build his team into one -of the best in the east by a sort of compromise method, which he describes as the "common sense way." He calls Princeton and Dartmorth examples of the common sense school. "To start a team on the way up, he reasons, "you have to have, first of all, a new deal In coaching, new blood on the coaching staff, You want to get people with reputations for football skill and exper ience.

They'll attract good football material to tne scnooi. Benny's notion of a model sys tern is the one at Michigan. "They've had a common sense attitude toward the game for so long he said, "that they've developed a tradition. They don't have to worry about material there. It comes rolling in.

The boys want to play on those win ning teams." Men From the Sticks. All this may be very true, but how does Benny the builder ex pect to cull the right kind of material from the sidewalks of New York Those sidewalks have produced a good many pickpockets, statesmen, financiers, and song pluggers. Football material is a different matter. Well, Benny expects to lure strong men trom the more rural sections. They have to be New York residents to attend CC.

N. of course, but there is nothing to stop them from coming to New York. Besides, Benny thinks ha will cut in on the Columbia and New York university supply. There is no reason why the best colleges, whatever they are, shouldn't play Foot ball is strictly a cash game, after all. The most azure-blooded instl tution of learning in the country will grab a game that promises well at the box office, and CC N.

Y. is potentially a good drawing card. With all these theories In mind, and a batch of blueprints in his vest pocket Benny the builder is trying to make something out of nothing.

FAVORS LOWERING Working Athletes Unable to Compete Under Present Big Six Rules.

LAWRENCE. Kas. (UP). A move to reduce academic hour requirements for eligibility for Big Six athletic competition was started here. The University of Kansas men's student council passed a resolution suggesting that athletes who work for expenses are unable to meet present requirements because college authorities do not permit them to carry the maximum school hour schedule.

Lowering of the eligibility requirements would "permit these working students to participate more freely in intercollegiate athletics," the resolution said. The resolution was transmitted to athletic authorities of the conference and will be sent to other student governing bodies of the Big Six. Walter Black Departs for Cage Rules Meeting Walter Black, secretary of the Nebraska high school athletic association, left Thursday night for the meeting of the national basketball rules committee at New York with expectation of not more than one major change in the regula tions. He is one of the four high school representatives on the committee which will meet Saturday and Sunday. Black said a research committee last year recommended adoption of a- slightly smaller ball and he said this might be adopted aa a re sult of further study this year.

He said research indicated there were fewer finger injuries with the smaller ball, that it was easier to handle, particularly for high school players and that some coaches be lieved it would mean more accu racy at the basket Before he left, Coach Browne, Husker basketball coach, urged him to press for a change in the rules to provide for time out between the time a basket is made and when the ball is thrown up again lor ine center jump.

Young April la supposed to be the spot where hope springs eternal in the baseball breast and everything is gay and merry. But there will be nothing gay and merry in the life of Bucky Harris of the Boston Red Sox until be finds the elimination of Lefty Grove's abcessed teeth will remove the kink that has infested Grove's left shoulder for the last six weeks. Grove, himself, when he headed for Philadelphia for further molar treatment, was in no mood to offer three rousing cheers. "Here I go fifteen Grove said, "without knowing what a sore arm is. And then I get a sore arm before I've thrown a ball, just at the time I am all set' for my best year.

I can't believe It will last long, but won't sleep much until I know for "You can understand how any manager would feel," Bucky Harris remarked, "when he sees twenty-five ball games on the point of blowing up in front of his nose Just as the season is ready to start" Matter of Concern. The -condition of Grove's left shoulder has become a matter of national concern. Here we have one of the greatest left-handers of all time, with at least five more winning years ahead, wondering whether he will ever slip that fast one across once more without suffering Intense pain, after the manner of a toothache. The tall and stately Lefty, in perfect shape everywhere else, lakes his pitching as seriously as any master artist takes his work. He has the type of buggy-whip arm that rarely gets sore, and a smooth, easy pitching motion that relieves all strain, and yet some form of poisoning has made him a doubtful entry just as the white spotlight was ready to break again upon us nead.

"We were all set to shoot for third place and I believe we could have made it," Harris said, "until this terrible thing happened. I still can't believe it will work that way. Outside of Grove's setback, we have a good ball club about as good as any of the others, barring the Yankees and Senators. They ought to be the best, but I don't think they will run away from sev eral" others. With Grove back in the-game, the Red Sox will furnish their share of trouble, for I think you'll stee a new pitcher In Walberg uus year." Pennant Pitchers.

"To win a pennant," Grove said. "a team needs three pitchers who can win twenty games each. If it nag rour good ones, the rest should be easy. Check up and find how many teams have three pitchers wno can turn in between sixty and seventy winning games. I tried out this method In the National league, without getting any too far.

Hubbell, Schumach er, Fitzalmmons and Parmalee ought to be good for around eighty games making it a cinch for the uiants. But how about the Dean broth ers, Hallaham and Carleton of the Cardinals with Haines thrown in? Those first four Cardinal pitch ers might also be good for eighty games, with stouter hitting to DacK mem. up. The same is true of the Cubs and the Pirates. They haven't quite the pitching strength of the Giants, but they have more hitting power and the well-known tally sun piays its part in baseball.

Only pretty good pitching will carry the Yankees thru. Will they get It? They didnt last year- ana una is another chapter. Kid Chocolate Seeks to Regain Feather Crown NEW YORK. tff). Kid Chocolate.

Some golfers have been born long hitters and others acquire it It has been said that James Braid went to bed one night like any other golfer and awoke the following morning a star. The great professional overnight developed Into a tremendous driver of a golf ball and with his added length became a champion many times. In latter years the fact has been more or less established that any great player must have length if he is to stay up with the leaders. Chick Evans is the only great golfer I ever knew who deliberately set out to shorten his drive and. while he accomplished this and still retained his fine game, the truth is that Evans could tuck fifteen or twenty yards onto his drive if the length of the hole required such a thing.

Chick's reason for curtailing the length of his drive was to bring about a finer degree of accuracy and it must be admitted he certainly accomplished this for there was never a more accurate golfer from tee to green. However and with not an exception a player will do everything within his power to retain whatever length or distance he may have and further-more he will do his utmost to increase it if there is a method of doing so. Some golfers win their matches or make low scores by accuracy. They realize they have neither the power or the swing to knock the ball a long way out into the fairway and in order to keep pace with a long driver they must make up in approaching or putting what they lack in distance from the tee. In recent years almost every champion has been one who was able to get fine distance from the tee.

The single exception I can think of is Johnny Goodman our open champion. Even George Dun-lap a small fellow gets excellent length from the tee 'so that distance makes low scoring somewhat easier. Runyan Great Player. If I were to single out a golfer who could be classified as the most brilliant in the game today I would unhesitatingly mention Paul Runyan. His scoring in the tournaments in which he has competed has been little short of marvelous.

I know of no one who has broken seventy as frequently as has How does he do it you might ask? He does not possess the power of Gene Sarasen. Bobby Jones could out hit him by yards from any tee but when the scores are returned he can always be found somewhere hear the top of the heap. Where champions are usually developed from the long hitters Runyan must be considered a short driver. He has not the power to slam the ball three hundred yards On occasion because he is a little fellow. On holes four hundred and sixty yards in length be must of necessity depend upon a deadly approach or a putt and in both he has uncanny skill.

Where the star can reach a green with a drive and number four iron Runyan Is satisfied to play a spoon for his second and it is a fact he has mastered this club to a state of perfection that seems unbelievable. I venture to say he Is more deadly with this club than the usual run of fine professionals are with their mashles. Spoon Play. Wood club play Is a lost art, that is to say. on second shots.

In the past ten or twelve years a spoon has been looked upon as a safety club, or one that is used to keep the ball out of With Paul Runyan it is just as useful as a mashie nlblic and his ability with this club has won countless contests I often wonder if any of us realize the real worth of the club. I am sure the average club member would score better if he learned to play the spoon more often. Even thru the fairway and from fine lies the results with a spoon would be far superior in my opinion than the hit or miss efforts he gets with his brassie. Length should never be sacrificed where it is possible to get it without undue effort It must be remembered however that it is not given to everyone to bang out long shots with wood or iron. Rajah Strips Gray of Uniform' After Argument ST.

LOUIS. Sam Gray, veteran right handed pitcher, was NECESSITY I Winning Team, Composed Mostly of Freshmen, Is Dangerous. REDS "UNABLE GET NEAR BY WALTER E. DOBBINS, Two long passes from the strong right arm of Henry "Chief" Bauer, one a 35 yard flip to "Leaping Lester" McDonald and the other a 42 yard touchdown tosa to "Long jboyd Cardwell on i lve downa in the last 80 seconds of the second quarter to 0 verdict over the Reds in the spring pigskin i a 1 for Coach Bible's Cornhusker squad Thursday afternoon. WhUe these two nasaes fir Chief ured in the lone touchdown of the afternoon, the Chief cut loose with a 35 yard flip earlier in the period that Cardwell converted into a 52 yard run for the first Blue shirt threat but Williams' interception on the 15-yard stripe halted the goalward march.

Outside of the first ten minutes of the initial quarter, the Blue team, composed almost entirely of freshmen, had the leather in Red territory. Yelkln Recover Fumble. Virgil Yelkln'a recovery of a Blue fumble, a pair of runs by the jackrabbit twins, LaNoue and Benson, and runs of nine and ten yards by Glenn Skewes, the Imperial, leather lugger, advanced the ball to the Blue's 27-yard line. Bauer intercepted a pass on the fourth down and Douglas' punt into the wind rolled dead on the Reds' 35. Johnny Howell got loose in the third quarter for 24 yards around the Red left side and Bauer found a big hole for fourteen more.

A pass from the Chief to Big Red Scofield, the Nellgh bell hawk, gave the Blues a first down on the Red shirt 12-yard stripe, Cardwell smashed the tackle for four but Howell was stopped and Bauer's passes on the third and fourth downs were incomplete, the last one intended for Leland Hale, going into the end rone. Puts Ball In Position. The Blues threatened again in the same period while the varsity reserves were in action, Waldlne Willey recovery of a Red fum- ble starting the frosh on their way. Bauer galloped thru the entire Red team for sixteen yards and a first down on the 5-yard line but the Reds were equal to the occasion and held for downs when the Chiefs aerial strategy went hay wire. With the regulars back in the fray in the fourth quarter the Reds had fond hopes of tying up or bagging the ball game.

A poor punt that sailed out of bonds on the Blues' 32-yard stripe gave them their opportunity but Ver non sconeid saved the day by in' tercepting Skewes' pass and re turning it 38 yards down the side lines before he was forced out of bounds of the Red 30-yard line. The varsity held for downs, how-' ever, and in a last desperate ef fort to score, Skewes shot a long pass to Benson but the Pender speedster was dragged down from oenina just after he passed mid-field.
