On the tennis courts, Helen Wills Moody, who allowed her title to go andefended in 1930, came back in '31 and regained her crown in a blaze of glory. The real tennis sensation of the year however, was 19-year-old Ellsworth Vines, of Pasa dena, CaL, who battered bis way throng h a phalanx of veterans to win the men's title. On the links, the COAST COACHES SEEKJEFORiS Enforcement of Penalty on Kneeing, Higher tee Are Suggestions L03 ANGELES, Dec. 31 (AP) Pacific coast and Rocky mountain football coaches in an nual meeting here today recom mended to the national rules com mittee, the return of the tee to kickoffs to eliminate hazards through mass protection of the man returning the ball. They asked that the penalty of kneeing in a grid contest.be made less stringent but more strictly enforced. Coaches were almost unanimous on these two outstand ing' discussions of the meeting. Coach Glenn "Pop" Warner enter tained a motion agreeable to all, requesting that the National Coaches' association be informed of the willingness of the Pacific coast to have its 1932 convention held either at Oakland or Los Angeles. Coach Bill Spaulding of the University of California at Los Angeles led the action supporting return of tees for the klckoff. "It Is the low kick which gives the mass formations a chance to form In front of the carrier," said the IT. C. L. A. mentor, "and we are bound to have low kicks unless the ball is given a slight eleva tion." Coach Spaulding also sounded the key-note on unnecessary roughness. He said there was too mueh piling on the ball carrier af ter he was down and recommend ed a more ready use of the whistle by officials. Coach Warner, complained of the failure of officials to penalize for kneeing, which he condemned as the "worst practice of the game."' A number of the coaches entering into the discussion point ed out that the extreme penalty of half the distance to the goal and dismissal of the guilty player from the game had brought it; to the point where officials almost nev er called the penalty. E L NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (AP) Dr. Thomas Gates, president of the University of Pennsylvania,: one of the first 'major institutions to go completely "amateur" in athletics told the national collegi ate athletics association today the experiment was successful and ad vocated the program elsewhere.

But unlike most other back ward looks on the year just de parted, the sports fan hasn't a great deal to regret there's as much sweet as usual, at any rate, to balance up the bitter. It hasn't been a bad year for Salem and vicinity in the realm of sports. Let's see if we can think of some high lights. The first was Willamette's thrilling finish as champion for the second successive year in Northwest conference basketball not an unmitigated triumph as Whitman won one game in the de ciding series, but a victory for all that, and gained under serious handicaps. And then there was the most successful state high school bas ketball tournament In years, from the standpoint of interest and attendance and close, ex citing games. Salem's par in the tourney was nothing to mourn over; runner-up, with an overtime game eclipsing all the previous thrills of the tour ney before Pendleton finally prevailed. Next we must mention the most successful season Willamette ever had In baseball, winning three games from UnlversltjTof- Oregon and one out of three from Ores-on State, and climaxing the season by winning another Northwest con ference title. We mustn't overlook the min or sports. . Balem high had one of the best swimming teams and one of the best golf teams in the state; Willamette's co-ed tennis team swept everything in the 1 Northwest conference. The junior high schools will pardon us if we bunch all of their achievements at this point. Par rish had as good a claim as any body to the state junior high bas ketball Ulie and both Parrlsh and Leslie had outstanding baseball teams though they didn't engage in outstanding competition. Their football records this past fail were also highly pleasing. Junior baseball was the big Program of the summer months and again Salem and all Marl, on county which was finally re presented In the team sponsor, ed by Capital - Post, American Legion, did themselves proud. The Marlon county team was-runner-up In the state and just as good as the champion outfit, and subsequent scores in the Interstate competition showed It wasnt far behind the best in the nation. The Salem Senators came In tor their share of glory also, winning the Portland Valley league cham pionship In handy fashion. - The football season didnt , bring in so many triumphs, but it wasnt by any means a wash out. Both .Willamette and Ba lem high teams played -some great football and soma that wasn't so great. Willamette came within about six inches of -the conference title but seemed to bo laboring under a jinx. O Probably the outstanding mo- 11 evorv battu in J.ru k:.
