Predicts Two-Handed Grip
Will Revolutionize Tennis
Br Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 20 (U.R) Les Jahn, nationally known tennis
Instructor, predicts that the net game will "go baseball" during
the post-war period.
Red-headed Jahn, professional
at the Orange Lawn Tennis club,
South Orange, N. J., and at the
exclusive Graham-Ickcs school,
Palm Beach, Fla., says that the
two-handed drive, larger rac
quets and an accent on power
will feature play during the next
decade.
"Within the next 10 years
many top-flight players will be
gripping larger racquets like
baseball bats," he said during a
chat at the Stork club. "They'll
be using the double grip, some
what after the fashion of Pancho
Segura and Jack Bromwlch. But,
unlike them, they'll be using a
terrific two-handed serve."
Jahn emphasized that, while
double-grlppers Segura of Ecua
dor and Bromwich of Australia
are now considered "freak" per
formers, advanced students of
the game are becoming convinc
ed that they have introduced a
style which will revolutionize
tennis. It will be the most im
portant change In the love sport
since Maury McLaughlin popu
larized the top spin back around
1012.
Jahn, who Is ambidextrous
can play a complete match with
either hand continued, "the
double grip is certain to feature
future play because It not only
provides increased power but
also assures less expenditure of
energy by the over-worked right
wrist weakest link in the tennis
chain. And it permits greater
accuracy with side spin the flat
ball.
"Tennis Is a conservative
game. Changes always are op
posed bitterly by the gray
beards, who for example, object
ed loudly and lengthily to the
Introduction of shorts as a per
mlssable court costume. Conser
vative Instructors will be re
luctant at first to teach the
double grip technique, lest they
be regarded as freak professors
But they'll fall Into line.
"I have been experimenting
for some time with certain pri
vate pupils, with surprising re
sults. For example, there's an
11-year-old girl in South Orange
who can double-grip her way to
victory over 20-year-old girls In
her area, and beat many of the
teen-age boys. The double grip
is particularly helpful to young
sters becauso it enables them to
use adult racquets to ploy the
adult game.
JACKIE WILSON SCORES

Pittsburgh Jackie Wilson, former

upset 10-round decision over
Cleo Shans, Los Angeles Negro,
in the main event fight at Grif
fith stadium here last night.
Shans, a 2-1 favorite In the
betting, was no match for Wil

maneuvered his opponent and
scored with both hands to the

KNEES OF FILLEY
Chicago, Sept. 20 (U.R) The
Irish of Notre Dame who orig
inated the multiple team system
to rise to national football glory,
today based hopes for their sec
ond consecutive national cham
pionship on two recently re
paired knees.
The knees are owned by Capt.
Pat Fllley, also captain of last
year's once-defeated team, who
Is needed for almost full-time
play at guard this fall. '
Notre Dame's guard corps Is
undermanned and Head Coach
Ed McKeever said the squatty,
175-pound star ''must come
through" If Notre Dame plays
for national honors this season.
Fllley reported for practice
six days ago after recovering
from operations on both injured
knees. He is expected to start
when Notre Dame opens a gruel
ling 10-game schedule against
Pittsburgh. Sept. 30. but the
question is when Fllley will be
ready for heavy duty.
Seldom has one player held
the answer to Notre Dame's sea
son prospects. This is the third
war-time football fall, however,
and not the years of Knute Rock
ne and following seasons when
two and sometimes three com
plete Irish teams took the field
during a game;
But with Irish luck, Notre
Dame has gained outstanding
freshmen, bulwarked by V-12
trainees. If the guards hold up
the Fighting Irish should be one
of the nation's great teams once
again.
r,nna are backs Crelehton
Miller, Johnny Lujack, Angelo
Bertelll, Jim Mello, and linemen
Jim White, Johnny Perko and
John Yonakor.
However, freshmen or hold
overs have a habit of rising to
the occasion at Notre Dame.

GIVE KAISER HARD
Jack Kaiser won't be putting
his Pacific coast light-heavy-
weight belt on the line against
the "Gray Mask" in Thursday
night's main event armory wres
tling match, but he may be fac
ing one of the toughest battles of
his career.
At least that Is what Promoter
Mack Llllard thinks. From in
formation he has gathered, the
hooded ruffian is capable of giv
ing any grappler of his compar
able weight in the United States
a terrific struggle, with a good
chance to take the nod.
The "mask" weighs In at
about 185 pounds, practically the
same as Kaiser, and, according
to Llllard, is rough and dirty
plus being a better-than-average
hand at legitimate tactics. As
with all the masked matmen,
who prefer to remain mysteri
ous, the "Gray Mask" won't tell
anybody where he comes from
or what background he has.
Kaiser, who whipped Milt Ol
son last week In a great match,
will be favored, of course, to
get over the "G-ay Mask" hur
dle, but anything can happen
when an unorthodox wrestler
starts pouring on the heat. It is
just possible that Kaiser will be
upset.
Two other fine mstches are on
the slate Paavo Katonen meets
Harold Davidson in the midale

after a long absence to face Pat

Chicago, Sept. 20 (U.R) The

their T-offensive sputtering with
out the services of Ens. Sid Luck

title against Green Bay Sunday
with an almost "freshmen" back
field and rated as decided un-
derdogs.
The National Football league
season, which got under way last
Sunday, when Green Bay de
feated Brooklyn 14-7, will pick
up speed this Sunday. Cleveland
meets the Chicago Card-Pitt
combination at Pittsburgh and
the Injury-weakened Bears play
at Green Bay, Wis.
The Bears, already hit hard
by the manpower shortage, have
lost the services of Ray Nolting,
crashing halfback, and Ray
(Scooter) McLean, breakaway
halfback. Nolting fractured his
leg last Sunday in an exhibition '
game against New York and
nrobablv will be out for a month.

T-Formation Of
Tiger Gridders
Is Real McCoy
The T-formation that Alexan
der I. Simpson's Medford ,high
Black Tornado places into op
eration against. Weed in the
1944 curtain-raiser here Friday
night will be as pure as a well
known brand of soap. It -will
be the real McCoy.
Since 1941, when Clark
Shaughnessy's "rags to riches"
T-formation Stanfordites startled
the gridiron universe by going
through the season unbeaten
and untied and then knocking
off Nebraska in the Rose Bowl,
various prep coaches have toyed
with the system.
a a
They have used "T" playi
on occasion "T" plays in the
sense that the quarterback
handled the ball and shoved
it at some other back breaking
quickly for a hoped-for hole
in the line but with almost
no exception those coaches
retained their basic attacking
formation, usually the single
wing or Notre Dame box.
a a a
The one exception we know
of In Oregon was Grant high of
Portland's state champs of last
season. Jerry Lillie's team cm-
ployed the "T" exclusively, and
with a much smaller outfit
downed Klamath Falls, 6 to 0
in Multnomah stadium for the
title.
As for this year's Medford
club, it hasn't a single play that
isn't unadultered "T" stuff,
straight from the master him
self, Shaughnessy, whose coach
ing school last spring was at
tended by Simpson.
Shaughnessy gave the boys
the works at Logan, Utah, and
the Tornado mentor has passed
the knowledge he gained of the
formation right on to. his
charges. And they love it.

The basic theory of the T
is that every attacking area,

ing territory can be struck
more quickly and with more
potency than with any other
offensive system,
a a a
Most of the running plays are
designed to break the ball-carrier
into the open as rapidly as
possible, before the opposition
even knows who has the ball,
and with a minimum of block
ing in the line in order that
more downfield blocking can
be mustered.
Some of the plays are execut
ed so quickly that all a lineman
has to do is merely brush the
opening forward to open a
path through which the mail
packer streaks.
It is a tricky, wide-open color
ful system in which the oppos
ing team, in theory, never
knows what to expect. The
man in motion gives plenty of
emphasis to this deception.
Ed Kirtley, the veteran back
field coach who has seen sys
tems come and systems go at
the South Oakdale school of
learning, Is almost overcome
with enthusiasm for the "T."
a a
"I can still hardly believe
what I see," Kirtley says in
discussing the quick-opening
holes which Is a "T" funda
mental, the hocus-pocus which
goes on in the backfield and
the almost unlimited attack
ing possibilities of the forma
tion. To understate it, he is
completely sold; on the thing,
