    William Tilden Again Tops List in National Singles Ranking for 1925
- ®
Municipal Baseball Directors to Plan Annual Mass Meeting
‘Bill” Johnston
Ranked Third;
1 Richards Second
Helen Wills, Sensational Cali
fornia School Girl, Placed
First in Women's
[ly VINCENT RICHARDS.
EW YORK. Jan. 54.
I —William T. Til
den, national sin
gles champion,
again heads the
national men’s
ranking list for the
coming year. Helen
Wills. sensational
Berkeley school
girl. Is placed in
first position in the
women’s list.
The most note
worthy change in
(he men’s ranking is the placing of
William M. Johnston in third place,
end my being moved up to second
position. This Is Just as much a
shock to me as it has been to all
the followers of the game.
•'Little Bill” has been rated second
to the champidn for the last three
years and his sudden fall to third
place on the list will be strongly
criticized by his supporters.
Altliough the advancement of
youth is noticeable in the annual
list, the younger players have not
tlie ranking field to themselves, for
several veterans, who staged re
markable tennis comebacks in 1924,
have succeeded in advancing their
positions among the first five of a
year ago, but three are listed in
tliis year’s list. Howard O. Kinsey
takes quite a jump when his name
is placed in fourth position. Wal
lace F. Johnson, veteran of many
tournament campaigns, is placed
No. 5, while Watson M. Washburne.
Davis cup star, is given the sixth
position in the coveted circle. This
selection will also be criticized
on the ground that Washburne
spent most of the past summer
playing in Europe as a member of
the Olympic team. R. N. Williams
and F. T. Hunter, both members of
the Olympic team, were not ranked
because of insufficient data. Wil
liams suffered an Injury to liis
ankle during one of the early
rounds of the Olympic champion
ship and played very little tennis
after his return to America.
Harvey Snodgrass, California star,
occupies No. 7, while Johnny ljpn
nesaey, of the middle west, is placed
one position below him.
The placing of Helen Wilts first
on the women’s Ust was to be ex
pected. Mary K. Browne, who
staged a. marvelous comeback during
the year, fully deserved her rank aa
No. 2 in the classification of the
country’s best. Mrs. Molla Mallory,
former holder of the national cham
pionship, drops back a place to make
loom for the Los Angeles girl.
Eleanor Goss Is ranked fourth, with
Mrs. Jessup in fifth place. Miss
Martha Bayard occupies sixth posi
tion, with Miss Mayme MacDonald,
Mrs. B. F. t’o'le, Miss Molly D.
Thayer and Miss Leslie Bancroft fol
lowing in the order named.
As is usually the case In rank
ing national champions the lvinscy
brothers are placed No. 1 in the
men’s doubje* ranking, while Wil
liams M. Johnston and C. J. Grif
fin retain No. 2, as a year ago; F.
T. Hunter and myself are placed
third, with Williams and Wash
hurne following. A new team ap
pears at No. 5 in the California
players, Harvey .Snodgrass and
Walter Westbrook, while No. fi is
occupied by I-ouis Thalheiiner and
Lewis N. White, the intereollegiate
doubles champions, an advance of
three positions. Seventh place goes
tu George M. I.ott, Jr., and Alex Ii.
Grave of the middle west, new
renters in national doubles ranking.

This “Hoosier Schoolmaster”
to Teach Pitching on New Hill
>-/
(<fT1 HE Hoosler Schoolmaster”
I expects to have a good year
this year.
Meaning Vic Aldridge,
Few persons know that the pitcher
the Chicago Cubs traded to the Pitts
burgh Pirates over the winter started
life as a school teacher in the rural
districts of Indiana. It wae his
week-end pitching that won him the
attention which ultimately altered his
whole life. Aldridge was born in In
dian Springs, Ind,
The Indianapolis American associa
tion club gave Vic his first real
chance in baseball. It also gave him
his first long train rides.
Deriding that Vic had the makings
but was a bit green the Indians sent
him to Denver under option, only to
recall him and farm him to Erie, Pa.
The following season, however, he
produced. After he had won lfi and
lost II games for the Hoosler team
the Chicago club bought him. The
Cub bosses decided after two years
■ > . , — .. . .. ■ I
that they didn't need him In their
pennant plans, so Vic was sent to
the Bos Angeles club soon after the
start of the 1918 campaign, lie spent
the next three seasons convincing the
Cub owners that they needed him.
In 1922 the club paid a fairly big
price for him.
Aldridge won 16 and lost 15 games
for the Cublets In 1922 and collected
the same number of victories while
losing hut nine games two years ago.
Bust season he won 15 and lost 12.
With the Pirate outfit the coming
season Aldridge should have a bigger
year than any he has enjoyed to
date. Bast season Bill Killefcr had
Alexander, Jacobs, Keen and Kauf
man, all going good. Aldridge did
not receive as many chances to work
as he will at Pittsburgh, where Bill
McKechnle has Yde, Kremer and
Morrison ns his main hopes. In addi
tion to Aldridge. Vic should have a
chance to work every fourth day.

Bluejays Outplay j
Visitors in All
Periods of Game
Trautman Tops Scorers With
Eight Field Goals—Injured
in Final Half and May
Re Unable to Play.
Y setting a fast
pace in the early
stages of the game
and increasing It
as the contest
progressed, the
Creighton Untver
sity Bluejay bas
ket ball team, be
fore a well-filled
gymnasium Friday
night, walloped,
trounred and de
cisively defeated
the Notre Dame
quintet by the
score of 34 to 21.
The light and
speedy Bluejay hoopsters not only
out-scored the South Benders, but
out-passed and out generaled the visi
tors in both halves of the contest.
The count at the end of the first half
was 22 to 9, with the Bluejays enjoy
ing the long end of the score. So well
did the Blue and White hoopsters
outplay the visitors from Indiana that
not once after the first five minutes
of play did the spectators habor any
idea that the pride of the Hilltop
would fall In basket tall defeat.
Creighton was outweighed, but
what the Bluejays lacked In beef they
more than made up In speed and scor
ing ability. The Blue and White
tossers galloped up and down the
court much like the “Four Horse
men" of Notre Dame football fame
galloped up and down the grid fields
last fall. Notre Dame was after the
ball and not carrying or passing the
leather, which Is something out of
the ordinary for a Notre Dame athle
tic team.
Little Johnny Trautman, captain
and forward of the Creighton quintet,
topped the hoopsters In ringing up
field goals. The frail little Bluejay
leader chalked up eight field goals,
six of them coming In the first half.
Toward the end of the gams Traut
man collided with one of the Notre
Dame players and had to be carried
off the court.
The teamwork displayed by the
Bluejays was good to look at from
start to finish. The advance of the
Creighton hoopsters down the floor
swept the visitors before them In
rapid fashion, while the defense of
the winner* broke up many Notre
Dame plays before they got past the
center of the court.
The game was not a fast exhibition
of basket ball playing on the part of
both teams. At times the game was
slow, but fast or slow the contest was
sprinkled with spectacular plays,
some by Creighton and some by
Notre Dame, Ike Mahoney, Creigh
ton center, added thrills to the court
battle with his long shots of which he
made three, while McNally of the
visitors ahared the spotlight with
"Ike" In scoring from long range.
Notre Dame got off on the right
hoof soon after the game started i
when Crowe eased in a field goal. The
visitors held their lead hut a short
time as Trautman took a pass from
Mahoney and registered a field goal,
knotting the score. Ityan, Trautman’*
running mate, put Creighton In tile
lead when he ragrd a neat field goal
coming out of close quarters. Kyan's
basket ousted the Bluejays out in
front and they remained at the head
of the proresalon all evening.
Creighton held a 34 to IS lead when
only six minutes was left in which to
play. Coach Schahingrr started send
ing in substitutes and before the con
test ended the entire Creighton sec
team was battling a basket hall
quintet which represented a univer
sity made famous the country over
for lt'a undefeated football team of
1924.
Beside* Captain Trautman, the
playing of Mahoney and Ityan for
Creighton was good. McNally* and
Crow* played well for Notre Dame.

Intensive Intramural Athletic
Program Planned for Bluejays
■ Creighton university’s winter anil
spring intramural athletic program
has received its first impetus with the
formation of an Intramural basket
ball league, and Athletic Director
Si habinger plans to follow up the
success of this league with a hand
ball tourney, swimming meet, golf
and tennis tournaments.
The enthusiasm manifested by the
participants in the basket bait league
leads Schabinger to believe t..at in
tramural athletics at Creighton have
arrived to stay and he Is certain that
the proposed meets and tournaments
will be successful.
Schabinger announced that the uni
versity would back a tennis tram at
the Hilltop this spring, provided
enough men of the right caliber
turned out.
if a team could he organized the
Bluejays would compete in dual meets
with other schools in this section of
the countri . and in the North Central
conference net meet.
Possibilities of a school golf team
are also very strong, and with such
men as Pat Murphy. Fagan, l.ichten
herger, Mahoney and several oiher
good golfers back in school, the Blue
jays could put out a representative
team.
The swimming meet and handball
tournament will be held either in
February or March.

High five experienced lictle difflcul
ty in winning from Hastings, 3fi-?n,
Friday night in the Tech gym. The
score was IS to 3 in Tech'* favor at
the end of the first quarter and the
Maroon amt White gradually increas
ed its lead as the game progressed.
Although Hastings never seriously
threatened during the entire game, it
held Te< 11 almost even during the last
three quarters, showing a superior
passing attack.
Fharnquiet and Nelson were almost
wholly responsible for the Omahans'
victory, "Swede" sinking eight field
goals while his running mate was
light on his heels with seven. These
two men never failed to score on a
short shot. Indicating that the final
result might have been different If
Hastings' under-basket defense had
been a little tighter. Of the 15 field
goals scored by Tech, only one came
from past the free throw line.
The work of Maclteady featured
the play of the losers. He was in al
most every play and caged the leath
er three times, making him high
point man for Hastings. Wilson,
right guard, followed Maclteady with
two field goals and a free throw for
five points
