MJY WIAJ 1HE VMlS WITH Norman Brookes, one of the greatest court strate gists in tennis history, at the helm, the Australian Davis Cup forces are already mobilizing for what may well be a successful march upon Wimbledon. Jack Crawford, Vivian McQrath, Adrian Quist and Don Turnbull make up the Anzac band that is determined to lift the Davis Cup from its pres ent resting place in Britain. Crawford, of course; is the rank ing player from Down Under, and his own special objective is to lift the world's tennis crown from the noble brow of Fred Perry, slick haired, smiling Britisher, who now stands at the head of the tennis parade. No Majors Changes in Grid Rules Likely, Says Yost; Demonstrates on Newsman WASHINGTON', Feb. 1Z.-VP)-Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's old "Hurry-up," today used a capitol corridor and a none too hefty re porter to illustrate graphically his statement that "there won't be any" major changes in foot ball rules this year, i j . The athletic director of the University of Michigan, whose slow1 drawl belies his nickname, stopped over to sight - see in Washington en route to a meet ing of the rules committee in New Jersey. ). "There won't be any major rule changes,"' be told a news paper man who interrupted his in spection of a portrait of Lincoln outside the senate floor. "I do think something will be done about referees blowing their whistles just as a ball-carrier is about to make a lateral pass.

In 1934, however, Perry's suprem acy was . unquestionable, while Crawford's tennis stock slumped badly as result of a number of damaging defeats in both Davis Cup and tournament play. Tennis critics who have followed the play of the Australian net strategist have said that Jack was badly over-tennised last year, and, as a result, failed to show his usual scintillating form. That Crawford has emerged from his spell of ten nis doldrums can be seen from his marvelous playing in the Austra lian championships last month, when he decisively thrashed Perry to gain a measure of revenge for They probably will clarify that rule so that a man can make a lateral just as he's tackled." Here Yost grasped the report-J er around the hips to illustrate that the hall-carrier was free to toss a lateral. Spectators gasped with surprise, and some looked uneasy. Pro Pass Rule Out The grizzled' coach, whoso polnt-a-minute .teams' have made history,' was asked if colleges would adopt the professional rule permitting forward passes from anywhere b e hind the line of scrimmage. . ; "I don't think so," he said.

According to accounts, Crawford was superb In taking the first major net crown of the year away from the supposedly peerless Perry. At his beat. Jack is considered to be a superior all-around player than the top-ranking man who heads John Bull's Davis Cuppers, but, unac countably, he has been jinzed in competition with Perry in the past. Now that the doughty Australian ace appears to have vanquished the Peri7 hoodoo, he may well topple the Englishman from his tennis throne this Summer; and if he does, it appears as if Australia will walk off with the precious Davis mug at last. Perry is the British team's key player, and if you beat him, the trophy is all yours. OwrrUbl till.

Lemmon has scored 79 points in the 19 games Willamette has played, an average of only 4.2 per game. Lack of players with natural shooting ability is one of the rea sons why the Willamette team has had a very, unsuccessful season this year. In the 19 games they have , scored 462 points- to 613 scored by opponents. Although the Bearcats have played a fair ly good defensive game they have felt the need of a high individual scorer. . ;. Other high scorers are Eddie Frantz, 68: Mahvllje Petteys, 65; Kenneth Manning, 55, and George Erickson, 63. All have played as regulars.
