...eldest, used to be the best. Then Elizabeth learned to beat her. Mianne was next in line, but for some reason Sarah, two years younger, made headway faster. Helen Wills played Sarah last summer at the Essex County Club Tournament and said afterward: "She is the best girl player of her age I ever saw." Mianne's main trouble was that she had no confidence in her backhand, became nervous at the wrong moments. Last week in the finals of the Women's National Indoor Singles Championship, Mianne dropped five games to Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup, then rallied furiously...
...Garrison, and Stubbs would remain intact. A relief line of equal if not greater strength is needed and Coach Stubbs seems to have the material for such a trio. With Wood retaining his pivot post, Giddens would naturally take his old berth on right wing. This leaves the other players to fight it out for the left wing post. In a couple of games and in the practice workouts, Everett has taken this position and carried out his assignments well. His light seems to have been hidden under a bushel so far and it would not be at all surprising...
...points in front of him have been turning in an efficient performance on the whole. They are rugged enough to be able to use their bodies effectively, but can afford to do so even more. So far, however, they've been clinging too closely to the inrushing player after hitting him.

Rated. Thomas Hitchcock Jr. is still the only U. S. polo player whose handicap is 10 goals. Winston Guest is still the only one with 9. But in the new ratings issued last week by the Polo Association there was a new 8-goal man, alone in his group?Elmer J. Boeske Jr. All summer Boeske played in the East with the Greentree team, and his hard shots and adroit riding were one good reason why the Greentree team won the Waterbury cup (TIME, Aug. 5; Sept. 16). J. Cheever Cowdin, William Averell Harriman, and Harry East, all veterans, were...
...Canadian indoor tennis championship had been played a little earlier or a little later, a Canadian might have won it, but coming last week it met the convenience of several able U. S. players, all eager to be the champion of Canada. A player from South Orange, N. J.-Gilbert Hall-was the defending Canadian champion, but Fritz Mercur of Harrisburg, Pa., seventh in the U. S. ranking, put him out. Willard Crocker, Marcel Rainville, Charles Leslie, Brian Doherty, Canadians all, were in the quarterfinals. None of them got in the semifinals. The finals, as everyone expected, were between Mercur...
