HELEN WILLS ’ IS DEFEATED Mlle. Lenglen, French Star, Wins World’s Tennis Title, 6-3 And S-fi By Ralph HeinZ'-n (United Preis Staff Corr, ipunjent i Cannes. France, Feb. 16—(United Press) — Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen. France's tempermental tennis champion, twice triumphed today over Helen Wills, th" jniperturable American fcrll. Mlle. Lenglen, with all the drama tics which have added color to her careerj overcame MJsh Wills’ s,tub born opposition in the singles ami defeated her, 63 and 8-6. Then, after but a short rest. Miss Wills, paired witli Mlle. Henrietta Contoslavos mol Lenglen again in the doubles, paired with Mlle. Didi Vlasto. Lenglen ami Vlasto won 6 I and 8-6. But the strain of two victories over the quiet Californian was too much for the great Lenglen and at the close <J’ the doubles match, she fainted. Doctors and her mother, the latter weeping, rushed to her. side. The physicians attributed the collapse to nervous strain. Cannes, France.. Feb. 16.—Suzanne Lenglen today defeated Helen Wilis in the Carlton ch|b tournament finals, 6-3 and 8-6, and' , onco more proved her claim to supremacy among women tennis players of the world. The great French star, however, was hard pressed by the courageous young American champion and it was only •after a hard-fought first set and a sensational second set that Suzanne finally flashed her way to victory. Brilliant sunshim* flooded the com Is ami the stands were packed with a fashionable galley including all of the big names of the nobility wintering along the Riviera. When Mi,ss Wills came on the court, modestly attired in a simple sweater and her white tennis frock, a cheer arose that reminded Americans of a' Yale-Harvard football crowd in actual' when one of the team enters the st-a-1 ilium. Mlle. Ix*nglen was given an ovation ' wtr. n she made her usual dramatic j entrance and after a polite nod in the direction of her opponent, took her place across the net. The umpiry tossed out a box of new balls and they started to warm up. The French girl won the toss and chose to serve first. A hush settled over the Stands and the officials made the usual request

I CIELD GOALQ | I By MARK M. UPP kz .. 1 The fir t thing w* know, Indiana teams will bo excluded from the Tri I State toiirnatnent held at Cincinnati each year. A Hoosier quintet has ) curried away first honors every year since the tournament was started (Ldirovia brought home the bacon last year and again this year. Columbia City, champions of Whitley county and holders of a season record that isn’t to be sneezed at, will invade this city Friday • nifltit to try to make it two straight over the Yellow Jackets. They will find the going plenty rough. The Fii htim* Five looked like state champs when they staged that power in) rally in the Ja-t half of Friday night’-, game."—Sp.jrt Shorts, Berne Rp ' ieW |, Winnie, who admits that he writes Sport Shorts, is getting real en ,1 tiiii.au.iii about the Fighting Five. He, also, speaks a nice word for the ; Yellow Jackets now and then. It's nil in the county, yon know, Winnie. *, i. I , “Wouldn't it l«* a plemant novelty if you could broadcast 15 straight for 1 the Yellow Jackets, Mark? Those Yellow Jackets have got you into an ' r awful ituation, 14 defeats. After all your earnest pleadings to us for the re ogution of the Kennedy crew as a first (lass team they turn around and ; gel licked by the mediocre Portland Panthers, 3D to 11. However, we're still positive that the Yellow Jackets are 12 points better than Portland on any ' flo r. Had Strickler, and Moser been abb* to play the entire game the score 1 would undobutedly have been different. We’re still with you, Mark."-Sport < Shorts. ' || 'i * , Although the game between the Commodores and C. C. H. S. , Friday night is holding the interest of all followers of tne team, ' tiie coming battle with Fostoria, Ohio, Catholic high on the following 1 Monday night, must not be lost sight of. The Commodores defeated the Buckeyes at Fostoria several weeks ago, 11-10, a*ter a stubbornly ( contested game, and that defeat was the only reverse met with by I the Fostoria crew this season. The game Mgnday night promises to i be as sensational as the one on Friday night. - 1 ( Thi-i Fostoria crow is plenty tough They have won tho city chunipionsbin f i of Fostoria this season and are pointing for the Ohio state tourney. Thenare three players on this year's team that played on the quintet which was deleated in the final game of the Ohio state tournament last_season. Both ‘ public and parochial schools take part in the Ohio state tourney. r If Strickler is able to play against Columbia City Friday night, j the Yellow Jackets have a fine chance to turn in a victory. They have the stuff to do it and we believe they have the want to .

St. Ignatius and Ixiyola arc leading the Catholic school league with perfect percentages. . J The Bluffton eighth grade team defeated the Berne eighth grade at! Bluffton. Saturday night, 45-21. The Lancaster Bob Cats defeated Garretbat Garrett Saturday night, 136-31, after trailing at the half, 21-19. I "Bluffton Grapplers Lose Easily To Wabash, 94-0,” reads a front page headline in the Wabash Times-Star. The Bluffton wrestling team must be composed of members of the Tiger football squad. Michigan university's basketball players didn’t do so good on Gopher meat 1.:-i night at Mineapolis. and Minnesota won a ball game from them, i 2S-17. All of which shoved the Wolverines down the Big Ten ladder and in liana and Purdue moved up into third place. Today's question and answer: Q What must be the position of the feet! when jumping in center and elsewhere? A-The feet of each player must be within his half .of the circle. i J h» the standing of Adams county teams printed in the D. D. yesterday, j Berne was listed as having won 14 games and lost none. Thia was a mistake, as the Fighting Five has triumphed in 15 contests and lost none. —l:

Tile American girl rallied again and look the seventh game but Mlle, la nglen then ran out the first set. 6-3, with a point score of 30 to her opponent’s 17. Then came the break in fortune that gave Mlle. Lenglen victory. j She seemed to be on the point of 'retiring, then suddenly rushed back to her position, started smashing the ball with angry ferocity and overwhelmed the young American. Miss Wills was very tired when she left the court and was troubled with a slight nose bleed. | "I am absolutely disgusted with everything that has happend here," Mlle. Lenglen said after the match. "I haven't said my last word about the officials.” I Miss Wills was in a much better mood. She smiled when her friends gathered around her and fenced off any offers of sympathy. ; It was an enjoyable match,” she - aid. "Mlle. Lenglen is just as good as I thought she was." Mrs. ('. A.

Miss Wills stood by smiling graciously when Mlle. Lenglen was crowned with a wreath of flowers and borne off on the shoulders of her admirers. I The decision which caused the controversy was made on a ball which the linesmen called an out and which apaprenfly ended the set in Mile. Lenglen's favor 'at 7-5. The umpire, however, ruled that the ball was inside and the point went to Miss Wills, who then deuced the set. Mlle. Lenglen carried her attack , again, t the weakness that all the crit- . ics had picked out in the American ■ girl's game—her lack of speed afoot.
