Nothing Is Wrong With Pro Tennis
(Continued from page 9)
learn of effort and never once make
a mistake, then move. He
could cover the entire court when he
so desired, but usually let Coen han
die the chances if he was in a position
to do so.
When asked about the French team which proved to be a sensation in the tennis world last year, he said that the French player Cobret is absolutely first rate. They are very good, in fact, Borotra is a very good match player and stands up well in that type of play. We certainly wish to hold that next year," he said.
Knee Is Practically Healed
Last year he injured a knee in play and was not able to show his best form during the Davis Cup matches. He didn't play for 10 weeks and the injured knee is now almost well again.
He isn't taking any chances with it, however, and wore a sore knee. "I didn't try to reach out for any long one today either. You probably noticed that."
He was taking no chances of having the old injury happen again.
Bill Sugas tennis balls. When asked if there was any one match he had in the rack, that stood hard or spectacle for being hard fought or spectacle he said there had been so many that he couldn't think of any in particular. Tilden's training consists of playing and "common horne-sense," as he expressed himself. "I don't believe in over-training and it is mighty easy to do. No man playing tennis could go on a college training table. Why he does that? Because his diet to a certain extent and of coping a fellow must watch himself."
"Big Bill and Cohen will leave Wednesday for Baltimore, where junior will compete in the National Boys Indoor tournament. They will come back to Kansas City for a few days and then they will head to Baltimore to plan to enter all of the main European tournaments and would make no predictions as to what success they would have. "It will be a great experience for the kid," was his reply.
By this time he was dressed and ready to leave, but a gang had cornered him and "Big" Bill very generously consented to autograph tennis balls for them. "You probably get pretty tired of writing your name on everything, don't you?" "Oh yes," he replied, "it's a bother for folks. You'd mind doing it." The Americans aren't anything to Europeans when it comes to that. One time Johnston and I were playing at a tournament in France in a town where there was a girl's school. The entire student body of 200 were there and of course all were dressed in the same kind of dresses. Well, Bill played first and just as the coach was calling him out, 200 girls had completely begged him wanting him to sign their autograph books."
Tells of First Davis Cup Match
He told them in 1992 in New York,
some of the famous tennis stars
played matches for the benefit of dev-
tors and amateurs who want to
hallot to sell their equipment. He
auto-graphed a ball which sold for $85
and a raquet with his name was sold for
$250. Now there are about three
dozen people in Lawrence who have a
dozen balls graphed by "Big Bill
Tilden himself."
No man is eligible for the English Davis Cup team until he is 75 years of age, he laughingly said, "The first time I made the Davis Cup team we went to England for the finals. There were Sam Hardy, Bill Johnson, K. Norris Williams, Mr. Garcia and the manager a man makes a Davis Cup team he begins to think he is pretty good, so we had it all decided just how we would at the dock when we laughed. We hardly thought the king would be there, but we were sure that the prime minister and members of parliament would surely be there. When we reached the dock, no one else was close enough, it rather peculiar, but went on to Wimbledon and the crowd was."
I have never seen quite so many camera-men and reporters in my life. They simply swarmed around us. Of course we knew that we should display our very best tennis so we started, Johnston and I were teamed and the English chose to serve. On the first ball I took a mighty swing, Bill Williams opened the net and we entered into the net and straight into the backstop. Needless to say that the English didn't think much of us by then. However, we won the English and French championships that year."
Won First National in 1920
Tilden attended Germantown Academy in Germantown, Pa., for his preparatory school. He then went to the University of Pennsylvania, but did not graduate. He won his first national championship in 1920 and repeated every year until 1926, when
Intra-Mural Swimmers to Compete on Tuesday
Eighteen organizations have entered the intra-marial swimming meet which will be held in the Robinson gymnastium pool Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m., according to John Littrell, director and director of intra-marial athletics.
Since this is a large entry list it is expected that this meet will be the best ever held. Last year's competition was keen and it appears that the meet this year will be easier out each day during the past two weeks some men have been making good time.
Last year the Phi Delt's won the meet and they look strong again. Several organizations have freshman swimmers that appear to be good and the meet will undoubtedly have some close events.
Indians to Play Hawaiians Saturday's Tilt Will Be Last for Eleven Braves
A wanderling tribe of Haskell Redakins, some 22 strong, accompanied by Coaches R. E, and LeRoy Hanley left Saturday night for San Francisco, where on Saturday, Dec. 18, they tangle with the strong Hawaii All-Stars of Honolulu. The Islanders in Denver and today continued their drive westward. The game with the All-Stars will be the last on the Haskell schedule and will also be one of the toughest. The Honolulu team is composed of American stars of note as well as islanders of unquestioned football ability. They have yet to taste defeat on their home field and are set to include a semi-tropic country with a football team and so lured them to be mainland.
The entire Haskell sack is in first class condition and should play their best game of the season, Saturday's contest will be the "saw song" for such braves as Leel, Garreau, Stuart Pappio, Ward, Smith and Colby, and a real exhibition of the grid sport is expected of his proleges by Dick Hanley.
This morning brought nothing new about the arrival of the student directories at the business office from the state printer at Topeka. A statement from the registrar's office this week that students arrive they will be distributed from that office. Each student is to call for his book, it was turtleduster. He was defeated by Coyet, one of the young French stars.

Quiet and unassuming. That is Tilden. He is a real man and one would never know that he is such a famous person, merely to hold an average conversation with him. He is one of the tennis world and the fans who watched him in action will bear witness to the statement.

All organizations wishing to play in the interscholastic basketball tournament must turn their names in to Miss Dorothy Barter, of the department of physical education, by Thursday, Dec. 16.

However, both of whom are instructors in the department of physical education.
"The tournament will be played off immediately following the Christmas holidays," Miss Barter said this morning. "It will open Tuesday, Jan. 4." At the present time only a few organizations have signed up for practice. However, according to Miss Batter, several organizations are not having regular practices, but they want to continue and receive instruction from the class practices which have been going on for the past week.
Class practices are as follows:
Junior and sophomore on Monday and Wednesday at 4:30; senior and freshman at 4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Any women interested may practice with the class groups. The practices are under the instruction of Miss Dorothy Burtze and Miss Ruth
According to Miss Bertzer, volleyball is a sport that can be played without a great deal of practice and from the viewpoint of exercise is one of the best. Therefore it is hoped that available teams will enter in the tournament.
