HARD TO TELL!
RESERVES
Football games are won or lost
in the fourth quarter and whether
or not the fray goes Into the vic
tory column depends upon the re
serve strength of the team. Strong
reserves allow the first squad
time to rest before shooting the
works in the fourth period. Maj.
Jones Is going to have a hard
time finding out which team Is
the reserve team judging from the
recent performance of the second
squad. Last Saturday when the
second string was run Into the
scrimmage they accountd for two
markers of their own and Wednes
day when the major pulled a sur
prise contact drill session the
No. 2 setup ran wild piling up four
touchdowns. The first string had
bogged down after a passing com
bination of Phelps to Knhler or
Plock failed to bring results after
advancing the red shirts 50 yards
down uie neid.
The boxing show for all univer
sity students was postponed or
rather canrellod at the last minute
by an order from Denn Thoinp'
son's office. It is a fine thing to
have eligibility rules for the meet
but when they are aplied so that
freshman are not allowed to com
pete that is destroying the spirit
of the event. Varsity rules should
he evoked only for teams planning
to compete in intercolleginte clr
cles.
Bus Knight was making a
tackle on Marv Plock Wednes
day and in the process got
kicked in the head. He insisted
that he was all right but when
turned loose he fell to the
ground. Finally he was revived,
dressed and went home. Thurs
day morning Knight was un
able to recall anything that
transpired after he went in to
put the tackle on Plock.
Six man football was introduced
at Hebron. Neb. in the fall of 1934
to allow small schools a chance
to have football teams. In the
short span of three years, these
reduced squads have taken the
mid-west by storm and thousands
of schools have adopted the ays-

Califomian Beats Britisher
With Superb Volleys,
Smashing Serves.
Applause mixed with oh's and
ah's were In order as Ellsworth
Vines Increased his world's profes
sional match game lead to a 24-19
margin over Fred Perry in the
university coliseum Thursday
night. A crowd of more than a
thousand saw the former world's
amateur champion trim the Eng
lish Idol of the courts, 6-4, 2-6 and
6-3.
Walter Senior, a former north
ern Californlan amateur star, and
newcomer to pro tennis, downed
Berkeley Bell, the jackrabbit Tex
an, 6-4, 6-4, In the preliminary
match. Double play found Vines
and Senior teaming to a 6-3, 6-1
win over Bell and Perry.
Vine's Play Features.
Vine's searing drives and smash
ing serves were the highlight of
the evening s card. The Californian
without a doubt heads the present
day net stars. The superhuman
ability of Fred Perry to make re
markable recoveries coupled with
blinding returns from a racquet
wielded by the strongest right
wrist in tennis is the English
man's challenge to the American's
supremacy In pro play.
Back court volleys and the net
play of Vines were highlights of
the feature match. Vine's play at
the mesh proved to be his margin
of superiority over his opponent.
He constantly pulled the English
man out of position, rushed the
net, and scored with a smashing
placement.
Warm-up Match No Breather.
The warm-up match between
Bell and Senior was no breather.
Senior's straight, smashing fore
hand driving backhand brought
out Bell at his best in covering
the court. Bell had the better
serve, appearing superior to
Perry, but it was Senior's ability
to keep Bell away from the net
by driving to his backcourt that
kept the "Tumbling Texan" from
using his pet net game. Bell used
a chop stroke as his best drive.
Vines and Senior team up in a
doubles combination that is diffi
cult to match. Again it was Vines
at the net, but with Senior beside
him. The two cut off the best
strokes in the kit of Bell and
Perry. Both Vines and Senior
scored often on placements from
the net as the opponent was drawn
out of position.
By Ellsworth Steele.
Fred Perry, formerly the world's
ranking amateur tennis star and
now one of the world's two out
standing professional players, re
clined nervously on a hotel bed,
toying with a Liberty magazine as
he answered questions.
"Over here In America everyone
specializes. In England we have
more players who excel at many
games, jacks of all trades. You
have more people who specialize in
one sport. Your college students
play football or basketball or base
ball, but not all of them. In Eng
land players will get their blues
(major letter at Oxford I in five
or six sports."
Best Juniors in California.
Perry's restrained good nature
showed the strain which the pro
fessional tour puts upon the play
ers. He commented frequently that
rest was so necessary and that
often the players did not get
enough. His last week's schedule
included four nights' playing in a
row covering 1,000 miles in be
tween.
"You have belter juniors than
England," stated the dark haired
tennis star. "There are more in
California alone than any place in
the world, possibly except New
South Wales, Australia. There they
can also play tennis for 3fi.ri days
out of the year.
Vines' Service Hot.
Perry said that the only way to
play tennis is as a hobby. The big
tennis stars do not keep the game
alive; As in golf where the 100 and
90 shooters keep the spirit in the
game, so In tennis it is the player
who bangs the ball about once a
week that keeps up the enthusi
asm and interest. They are the
ones who get the most fun out
of it.
"Budge could probably boat
Vines out of doors, but he couldn't
live with him indoors: Vines is too
fast. Only one player has ever re
turned his indoor service with any
degree of accuracy and that's me.
And that is only because return-

Tilden Still Tops.
The man who helped England
keep the Liavis cup as long us he
remained an amateur, explained
that since the time of Tilden and
Richards the American have
played better tennis in other forms
of competition than in Davis cup.
Vines played much better at Wim
bledon in the open matches than
as a Davis cup contendant. Play
ers of other countries. Perry cited
Von Cramm, Austin and himself,
were at their best in the Davis cup
matches.
Turning to Big Bill Tilden, as
most tennis interviewers do, Perry
declared that Tilden even now at
46 could beat possibly all of the
first class amateur players except
Budge and Von Cramm in two out
of three sets.
Bright Future For Tennis.
"His arms and legs are going
back on him, but he can still play
tennis. When you play Tilden, you
do the running; he doesn't. The
only men who made him run were
Johnston and Lacoste."
Winning the Davis cup should
stimulate American tennis greatly,
Perry believes. When Egland won
I the cup in 1927 tennis players al
most doubled in number. He would
expect an increase of 10 percent
in America. Having the world's
greatest amateur in the country
adds to the interest in tennis.
Americans Equal British Fans.
The Englishman says the
American audiences and sports
men aie on a par with any na
tion, but that all nations have
different ways of playing and
showing their pleasure or dis
pleasure. Sports enthusiasts are
about the same the world around
in their treatment of players.
"Everyone is trying to bluff
everyone else," Perry commented
dryly on the International situa
tion. "Someone will make a mis

building 307.
Dr. Candy of the department
will lecture on "three famous
problems of the Greeks." Ralph
Ibata, president, urges anyone in
terested to attend and makes It
mandatory that all members come.
Only a week remains for track
coach Schulte to whip his 1938
team into shape ror the opening
of the outdoor season. The team
will leave next Thursday for Aus

Norman, Okl., where they will be
rejoined by the rest of the squad.
On April 5 they will open the de
fense of their outdoor conference
title, in a dual meet with the
Sooners.
Stiff Workouts.
Hard work is the rule as the
season opener draws near. Schulte
has been sending his men thru
stiff workouts each night. Several
timed trials have been run off
each night this week. John Brown
lee and Al Kuper showed the way
in practice yesterday, running a
half mile, a 680, and a quarter
mile, all against time. Brownlee
was timed at 2:02 and Kuper at
2:03 for the half, and they fin
ished in dead heats in each of the
other two races, getting 1:30 in
the 660 and :56.2 for the quarter.
Harwln Dawson ran his third
220 this week last night, and
turned in :22.2 for that distance
around the curve. For about half
of the way he had a light wind at
his back. All his timed runs this
week have been done In less than
:23. After running a comparatively
slow half mile, freshman Jim Mul
len did a quarter in :57, leading
Roy Gatch, varsity two miler, by
a few feet.
Tri-Color Meet Tuesday.
The first outdoor tri-color meet
of the season will be held next
Tuesday afternoon. Of the indoor
meets, three were won by the Reds
and one by the Oranges. Except
for additions, the teams will re
main essentially the same for out
door meets as they were for the
indoor ones.
