WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1938 FAMED TENNIS STAR INA Net Queen Neglects Game for Platform By DE WITT SCHUYLER Helen Wills Moody, the nimble nymph of the tennis courts, is just as adept at volleying with questions served by a reporter, if anyone should drive up with a forehand smash and ask you. Without the ceremony of tossing a coin for sides, the game began in the Ten Eyck hotel lobby, con- tinued up and down State street iu a taxi and ended at Chancellor’s Hal] where this reporter was last seen looking for a net to jump over, to congratulate the winner. TURNED DOWN PRO OFFER “Do you have any intention of turning pro?” was the first ques- tion, which Mrs. Moody cannon- balled into a corner with a nice- ly-placed negative, “I did have a professional offer not long ago,” she explained, “but I turned it down. I would rather not play professionally.” Love—15. “As long as you are known in the tennis world as ‘Little Poker Face,’ I would like to know if you ever play poker,” fell into the net as the Wimbledon champion look- ed askance and said no, she didn’t even know how. Love—30, TOO BUSY TO PRACTICE “Do you practice every day?” came back with a high lob out of reach, “No, I hardly have a chance to since I have taken up lecturing,” she said. “Still, I always keep in trim.” Love—40, “When are you going to play again?” rebounded to the far corner, just inside the base line. “T think it will be not until next season,” was the answer. “It also depends on how I happen to feel at the time. I like to play when I am feeling my best, you know. That’s why I often decide to enter many matches at the last minute.” Game. “MAKE LIFE }— TOURING NATION After that whirlwind finish, this reporter conceded the match and retired to the sidelines while Mrs. Moody inspected the Chancellors Hall platform, where she spoke last night on “Make Life a Game,” un- der the auspices of the Albany As- sociation of the Alumni of Girl’s Academy, Albany is the first stop on a lec- ture tour that will end in Califor- nia, Newsreel pictures of her ten- nis matches are shown to illustrate the lecture. California-born, Mrs. Moody was educated at Berkeley Girls’ school and the University of California. She began swinging a tennis rac- quet at the age of 10, and now holds the championship of Ireland and Wimbledon, the latter won from Helen Jacobs in a much-dis- cussed comeback match, In her lecture, she sketched her early life in match play and smil- ingly explained her farnous nom- de guerre of “Poker Face” as a concentrated facial determination to win. Her thumb-nail sketches of the people she has met in Eu- rope and America were delight- fully drawn, particularly her vig- nette of the 70-year-old King of Sweden, whose tennis playing is devoted to a net game, most of the footwork being qone by amem- ber of his tennis cabinet. A series of newsreel shorts, de- picting her career on the courts of the world was introduced c”* proved her contention that, though the styles in tennig and clothes undergo a decided change from time to time, the early acquired form remains throughout. the en- tire sports life. ' LBANY EVENING OCTOBER 20, 1938 ‘“‘Won’t Be Pro,’’ Declares Hele Former Tennis Queen, Opening Lecture Tour Down Town Club, Tells of Her Plans for Future NEW YORK ———— HERALD TRIBUNE OCTOBER 26, 1938 Helen Moody Asserts Sports Simplify Life Mrs. Helen Wills Moody stressed the simplicity and relaxation which sport brought in a complex world. “Maintaining a balance in our lives,’ she said. “It means that we defer, possibly forever, that point where complexity cannot become more complex, and a static point is reached where new ideas are rare, and enthusiasm dead. There is no denying that there exists a trend towards complexity in the individ- ual, aS well as in almost every field that belongs to man. One sees it in government, in business, even in art. “Complexity in people’s lives must be balanced, and sport is one of the things which can help to do it. No better proof can be given than the great growth of interest in all games which has swept the country. They are, in a way, a return to what so many of us refer to as ‘the simple life’-—the life close to nature.” *“T say ‘I am going out to have a game of tennis.’ But what I really mean is ‘I am going to have a won- derful time under the sky, in the sun. I am going to rush around, feeling the motion of the ait and the movement of my body through space. I am going to forget every- thing except the game. For a while, for me, the world will not exist. I won’t know how old I am—whether I am a child or whether I am grown up. I shall lose myself in the fun of the game, in competition which seems real but is not important. I am going to play. “The individual can balance the busy routine of his day with diver- sion and the simpler the diversion the better. The great rush of inter- est today in sports is proof that the whole country knows that modern life must have as an integral part the play element. The simple pleas- ure of the latter must serve as a balance against the problems and complexity of the present day.” A GAME" A lecture by HELEN ee Moody with us. excellent, "We enjoyed exceedingly last night having Helen Wills Her personality is charming, her pictures were very helpful to her talk, and her lecture most especially the concluding part wherein she developed her theory that what would produce success in a game would produce success in life." ue.

Hills or Wimbledon or other gather- ings, I can’t say just now. making the game a profession is not my intention.” Mrs. Moody, looking her prettiest, had a few other remarks, too. 1e was sorry she couldn’t enter the singles championship this year, but explained her side injury was much too painful, It’s much better now, she said, except that the intercostal nerve (between the ribs) still bot = ered her to some extent. Marble Is Best She thinks Alice Marble is by far the best woman player( modestl excepte dherself) in the game t day. “It’s too bad she didn’t — further at Wimbledon this year. & wasn’t up to her game at that time,” was Mrs. Moody’s observation, “but she certainly was when she too the title at Forest Hills last month.” And what are Helen’s plans now? “Well, I’m just starting on th lecture business’ was her reply,’ I’ve got to make a tour of the East, speak at several forums this Fall and then I’m heading back to San Francisco as soon as I can.” La going to keep up my game out there and although I’ve closed my stt 'll dabble a bit in art.

The automatic adjustable fulcrum furnishes the aver- age diver with a new and keener pleasure in an exhila- rating pastime. It permits the expert to be consistent in his routine of diving, and assures him of an adjustment adaptable to his own individuality. In competitive meets it offers officials and contestants a positive means of insuring fair play. For with this in- genious mechanism the individual diver quickly and eas- ily adjusts the board to the identical spring to which he is accustomed in his home plunge. In addition, it gives the lightest or heaviest contestant the maximum of assist- ance in maintaining the proper rhythm and co-ordination essential to championship performance.

A rubberized waterproof preparation, made to preserve and sanitize gym mats and to remain pliable throughout the life of the mat. Gets smoother with usage, does not peel. Do not compare or confuse this product with ordinary paint, canvas deck paint, can- vas preservative, etc. None of these will give you the same soft result. We have tried them all. The proper painting of your mats will appeal to you if you picture the dust, the filth and the germs that a piece of 21 oz. canvas will absorb in normal use and abuse as a mat covering. In- clude in the picture, sweat, skin, blood, scabs, germs from athletes foot, etc. Now picture the modern sanitary method approved by the Division of Health and Physical Education of the State Board of Education and you see the soft, grey, glossy coated mat that will not absorb these things. No laundry bills, no expensive and unsat- isfactory attempts at having your mats cleaned. Just sponge them off with water and an antiseptic solution occasionally. A saving investment. Mats cost a lot of money and there is nothing that gets harder usage. They are jumped on,-rolled around and dragged across the floor. When painted, they last two or three times as long because the paint preserves the canvas and stitches from rotting and takes most of the wear. Our painted mats are standard equipment at the University of California at Berkeley, Los Angeles and Davis, at the San Francisco and San Jose State Teachers Colleges, at the Olympic Club, in the public schools of San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Ventura, Eureka, Visalia, Reedley and in many other educational institutions and clubs throughout the state and nation. We have no record of any institution, once having used HE. P. Finigan Co. painted mats, returning to the use of unpainted mats. This, we believe, is the most convincing endorsement of the process we can offer. One gallon is sufficient to cover a mat 50 square feet in size. For example, one gallon will cover both sides of a 5! x 10! mat with three coats. Complete instructions for treating the mats are furnished with the order. Price is $6.00 per gallon. E. P.
