Oregon Tennis Coa Famous Stars Tilden and Lacoste Vie In the Opening Match By W. HARRY VAN DINE Edward F. Abercrombie, Univer sity of Oregon’s well known tennis and swimming coach, was a very interested spectator at the interna tional Davis Cup tennis matches held last July. The games took place in the new Stade Roland Gar ros at Auteuil, a suburb of Paris. A prediction that the Davis Cup, most cherished of all tennis cups, would remain in France for several years to come was made by the varsity mentor. “There are several young French players who are the equal and pos sibly the superior of any of the ris ing generation of players in this country,” said Coach Abercrombie when interviewed. lie [minted out that these men, led by Henri Cochet, star of the recent Davis Cup play, are now touring the United States and have been winning consistently with few exceptions. One of the most important exceptions was when P.radshaw Harrison, ranking No. 1 player of Oregon and star of the University team, won over Pierre Landry recently at San Francisco. Flys to London “Due to unavoidable circumstanc es, I was able to attend only one day’s play of the world famous matches,” recounted Abie, “but the match that day was, by far, the best of the tournament.” The popu lar Oregon coach had planned to witness the play of the second day also, but due to rain, the play was postponed and a previous reserva tion on an air liner for London pre vented him from staying for an other day’s matches. The match between the French man, Lacoste, and the American, William Tilden II, was very well played and one of the most exciting and interesting the Oregon coach had ever witnessed. It was in this match that Rig Rill finally broke Lacoste’s winning streak of five straight over him and succeeded in winning the match fi-.'l in the fifth set on the opening day. This was the only match won in the tourna ment by the American team. Tilden and Francis Hunter opposed the French combination of Henri Cochet and Jean Rorotra in the doubles and were forced to defeat after carrying the foreigners to five sets. OneJtot ch Views World In Action At Paris boat John F. Hennessey in tbo other opening singles match to make the ' count in favor of the French. American Hopes Fade The real end to the American hopes came on Monday, July 30, when the grea^t Tilden was defeated in straight sets by the Frenchman, Cochct. This match was marvelous almost beyond words, according to report?, and Cochet was acclaimed the national hero of France. The final match was played when La coste defeated Hennessey and de- j feated him in four sets. “America would have had a much j better chance for the cup,” said Coach Abercrombie, “had the team played Hennessey and Lott in the doubles thus saving Tilden for the final round against Cochet.” The way it was played Tilden played three straight sets and was very tired in the final. Cochet also played three si might but he was in better condition and is a younger man than Tilden. Abbie says that teh real reason for t,he team taking Hennessey and Lott on the trip was to give them experience and that the way things turned out Lott did not participate in a major battle. His contention was sustained when Hennessey and Lott later defeated the French pair in the semi-final round of the national doubles cham pionship held at the Longwood Cricket club, Chestnut Hill, Mass. The American pair went into the finals and defeated the* Australian teaip. when few conceded them a chance to win their first matches. Frepch Courts Good “Jn the near future the French courts at the Stade Roland Oarros will rival the famous American For restv Hills and the British Wimble don courts,” Coach Abercrombie re lated. lie describes the center court at the Stade as being' sur rounded by an amphitheatre contain ing on its four sides, seats for 10, 000 people. The physical properties of the court were also perfect. The terrain was level, smooth, firm, and sufficiently dark to be free from glare; the action of the ball not ton fast; and there was ample runwSy. At the opening of play he estimated that there was in excess of 10,000 persons present, as there were spec tators standing in the bowl. Abbie reports that the French are plan ning for the future in tennis and are working hard to realize their goal, the supremacy of the tennis world, Eugene Police Warn Fraternities To Lock Up for Open House Because :i veritable avalanche of robberies, approximating a loss of $1200, befell fraternity houses on the campus at Corvallis Thursday night, the police department of Eu gene issued a warning yesterday afternoon to students of the Univer sity urging that all living, quarters be kept locked at night, particularly during the open house tonight when the men’s houses and halls will be practically deserted. ' "It is a matter of precaution that is advisable and 1 suggest that each house follow up the suggestion care fully,” urged Sergeant Julian Strait, of the police department, yesterday. When excitement over the- scnSn itonal pilfering at the O. S. C. cam pus had passed the Imvoral stage yesterday morning, a check of losses was begun and it was discovered that the six fraternity houses en tered had lost money and articles valuing about $150 at each house. Thirty-five watches were among the missing articles reported from the <). N. C. police force to the Eu gene department. The robbers must have had a ver satile taste and a fancy for mantel decorat ides, declare the local police, who have listed as stolen goods, in addition to the watches and money, two pairs of B. V. D.’s, a bronze track medal and a shot-put medal. Bate last night the local police department had heard of no devel opments in tracing the theft.

Any man who is interested in marksmanship is eligible to try out whether he is taking military training or not. Two teams will lw formed this year, one team representing the uni versity, and another made up of R. O. T. C. men. Captain C. H. Bragg, coach of the rifle team, wants all old men to report as soon ns j^ossible. Tie urges freshmen to turn out and try their hand at developing an eagle eye .and a stea-dy utrigger finger.” A rifle team consists of fifteen members, ten principals and five al ternates. During the season in which competitive matches with other schools take place, the team is made up of men picked from those shoot ing the highest scores in practice the preceding week. Each week, all men turning out for practice shoot a match, and the fifteen highest scores make up the team to enter competition the fol- ! lowing week. In this way no one j is assured of a place on the team ) that represents the school unless he I lias earned it in direct competition j with every other marksman turn ing out for practice.
