"BREAKS" OF GAME OFTEN DECIDE
RESULT OF CLOSE TENNIS MATCH
j Tilden Gives Some Interesting Examples of the "Psy-
y-uvivM ui ANet nay
Analyzed
By WILLIAM
IN thls article we will lcavo the ques
tion of technique of shots, footwork and
position and tur.. for a while to the ques
tion of what tho psychological Influences
are which make or
break a man during
a match.
The amount a per
son Is affected by
outside Influences or
by tho "breaks" of
the gome depends
entirely on his tem
perament (or In tome
cures temper). The
more nervous n
mnn Is or the more
nrtlsti. or highly
strung his nature,
the more he Is nf-
fected by these out
side Inlluencps.
No man who plays
tennis to win. nnd
to bo renlly good n malt must be keen
to win, ever goes through n tournament
(ono might almost say n match) without
losing his temper to somo degree. The
man who does not feel It when things
break against him Is not In a tit condi
tion to play he Is probably stnlr. It Is
not n fault to lose one's lomper, pro
vldod It does not either hurt one's game
or show too much outwardly. It Is worse
thnn n, fault, It Is a tennis crime, to al
low one's temper ever to got the best of
ono to the extent that It hurts one's
game. Thus, in looking nt the effect on
n man of vnrlous occurrences In tennis
matches, ono must always consider the
effect on temper.
Never gloom over tho wonderful Bhots
made by your opponent, no matter how
Important a point he takes nway from
you. Simply glvo him full credit for a
lino effort and go after the next point.
DO NOT OUT KOHE.
Do not get sore at yourself to the ex
tent of growing Indifferent If you miss
shots that you should mnke. If you start
mlsslnir, keep your mind tlxed more
closely on thnt Bhot each time you play
It. The more you think nbout tho shot
you are making the less time you liavo
to gloom nnd get peeved, because you urn
Intent on thu next result und not on the
past.
This digression from tho real Intent of
tho article Is only Intended to get this
over. Do not blame yourself If you get
mnd nnd piny well. Ilut blame yoursnf
severely If you get sore and miss shots
bocnuse you are sore, or get soro nnd
quit. Ho who quits once never deserves
serious consideration again, for the habit
grows, and he Ih more npt to quit when
he gets up against It ngaln.
The quitter Is not needed In nny branch
of sport.
Now lot us consider several peculiar
effects oti tennis plnyers.
EFFECT OF AN AUDIENCE.
Joseph J. Aimstrong, the Pennsylvania
State champion, claims thnt all plnyers
are affected by a crowd and Uhunlly to
the detriment of their game If u man
Is truly sunk In his own match and In
tent only on winning It It would make
no dllTerenco to him whethor there wero
live or COCO persona present. It Is when
the mnn Is only half Intent on his match
that the audlcnco affects him. Then tho
brilliant man Is made or broken by the
crowd If ho Is going well to open, tho
chances nro lie will play a great match,
but If ho starts badly It Is seldom he nn
bring his mind out from tho audience and
fasten It sufficiently on his match to
bring his game up.
Theso are not the most Important
psychological effects In tennis. It is the
POOL TOURNAMENT
AT RACQUET CLUB
First Handicap Events of Sea
son Are Scheduled to
Begin Today
The first pool tournamont to be staged
by any of tho locnl clubs Is scheduled to
begin todny at the Racquet Club. This
Is to be the first of a series of handicap
championship events, with tho Hngnall
VUde method of handicapping In vogue.
By this method all the players aro put
Into one clnss, having the necessity of
many divisions. Tho scrntch men play
at 125 points, with the other contestants
ranglnc down until tha low men play
atC5.
This furnishes a rather wide range; but
In view of the fact that thero aro somo
players of exceptional ability In tho
Itacquot Club, such a big handicapping
Is necessary. The scratch man In this
tournament wl'l In all probability be Day
ton Phillips and Ned Price, though thero
will bo several others near their mark.
Among the others who will compete ara
Ned Fltler, Clayton Dixon. Mitchell Ho
sengarten, James Potter, Witney Wright,
William Swain and Wlnthrop P. Smith.
The club's best player, In fact, the best
pool player In any Philadelphia club, T.
M. S. Rolls, will not take part In the
matches. He Is such a marvelously efH
clent player that he never enters the
club tournaments, as It would bo Impos
sible to so handicap him along with the
others as to prevent him winning. Rolls
In repent years has turned from bil
liards, at which he was regarded as ono
of the most promising players In Amer
ica, to pool, and has developed Just aa
wonderful a grade of skill In that game.

Impression gotten from the Interior of
the game that count. These come from
11) your opponent, (2) his game. Its stylo
and consistency, (3) the breaks of the
game.
There are certain type men who grate
on our nerves i every ono has some par
ticular typo which annoys him. If your
opponent happens to bo ono of that group
you will probably have an unpleasant
afternoon. The remedy is the same old
thing: train your mind to follow the
game and not tho man. Vour outlook
should be no more Influenced by the
reputntloti of a plnycr or by his per
Bonnlltv than If yuu wero rallying
against a board fence. It N. Williams.

to make jou work harder than X 7.

your ability should not change, so don't
lose jour ncrvo.
YOUlt OPPONENT'S (MM!?.
This u a little bit harder to buck up
ngalnst nnd may bo regarded ns the moat
potent factor of tennis psychology, be
cause every time you return tho hall II
Is brought to your attention, nnd you
must seriously consider It nt all times.
If the stylo game your opponent plays
suits you he will In nine cases out of
10 put you on the top of yours, but should
It be a style you particularly dislike there
Is nnl ono remedy. As far ns possible
play your game your wny, and tinder no
circumstance fall Into p1nlng his. If
ho breaks your game up, nt least make
your game something different from a
poor Imitation of his
THE IIKIMKS OF THE GAME.
I'nder thlH class comes the tniiHt Im
portant of little known tennis tactics,
"tho use of the missed shot." The shots
you miss have a remarkable effect on the
other man, and to rapidly classify them
ono can sny:
(1) All missed easy shots take nway
confidence from you and give It to him.
Ho can count on your missing now und
ugnlu.
(2) All hard shots you miss, If you
nearly make them nnd have tried the un
expected and nearly impossible, will
count for you, since It will have him al
ways looking for such a shot really com
ing over.
The more you mnke our opponent
watch you, the more ou tako his mind
off his own gnme and the more he Is apt
to mli-s, owing to hick of concentration
on his own shots. So try tile unusual,
which will force him to notice you.
The pfToet of nil enrb lead cannot be loo
hlghb emphasized, pmiided ou do not
get careless and let up bpenuse Sou feel
you are sure of winning. It Is a very
hard, discouraging i n id to go and tends
to make a person overeat ef ill If tlicy feel
they are far behind. So the etfect on th"
mental attitude of your opponent by ou
taking three out of the first four games
Is most Important, since It makes him feel
he must win thu tilth game tn make It
3-2 Instead of 1-1 iigainht him to linn
even n chance for the set. Try to put
your opponent Into a mental hole In our
match by .lumping In and getting him on
the run.
If you succeed ill this never let him
pull up oven, If possible, for the effect of
pulling out or it hole, or, ns the term
goes, 'Vetting nut of tho cart" once ho
was In It, la often to glvo Itlm the fecl
lim that he Is corning ull thu time uhllc
you have shot your bolt nnd arts fading.
In evcty mnuh consider the mentnl at
titude of our opponent and the psveho
logjcnl effect of yourself, your gnme and
the btoitkb of the game.

Returns From Election to Penn
Directors Not All
in Yet
Whether 1111 Holleiibnck, captain of
Penn's football team In 1008. hag been
elected to tho board of directors of tho
Athletic Association of the University of
Pennsylvania or not will bo known this
nfternoon. Tho election took place nt
Houston Hall Saturday evening, but some
of tho ballots, particularly those from out-of-town
members of the association, uete
not received until this morning. This
necessitated a delay In the counting.
It Is generally believed by the Mudent
body and those In close touch with Penn
affairs that Hollcnback received far more
than enough votes to place his name on
the board. If Hollcnback Is elected It is
probable also that James Uodley, I.mila
C. Madeira and John H. Mlndls. all
graduate candidates, nro also elected. I
The only two graduate nominations to fill '
vacancies wero Kidney Thayer and Paul
Thompson, hence they weru unanimously
chosen.
Tho probabilities that tho undergradu
ates elected were: Robert Dechert, Cor
don Ijarwlck, Edward D. Davis, John B.
Thayer, C. W. B. Townsend, Nellson

"BOB" FOLWELL
MAY COACH THE
SYRACUSE TEAM
If Penn Does Not Call Him
He Will Accept
This Offer
WOULD MAKE GOOD
If Hob Folwcll. the noted Washington
and Jefferson footbnll coach Is not wanted
nt penn next year lie probably will accept
the position ns bend coach 'of the t'nl
crslty of Sytacuse eleven. This became
known today when It wns lenrned that
E. V. Simtliworth, an alumnus of the
New Vol It Institution, had been In I'hlla-
delphla all of last Week and held many
I conferences with Fohvell. While no teg
ular offer was made, tho old Penn star
was given to understand that he wns
being considered seriously by the athletic
board and nil effort was being made to
tender him a good contract for next year.
It Is known that Snicuse N on the
market for n co'ich. Buck O'Neill, who
turned out the exceptionally good team
last f.ill. liua resigned and will spend
all of his time taking care of Ills law
practice. The New Yorkurs have had a
tasto of victory for tha first tlmo In
years, and they nro anxious to got tho
best man nvallahle to Itcep the team In
the ruunlnr.
OTHERS APPROACHED.
Pill lloilenbaelc and Willie Ciowell also
weie rpnrouchi'fl, but It Is net likely thnt
either will be considered.
Folwell lias not signed a contract with
Washington and Jefferson for next year.
Ho anient timn to consider the orter they
made him. and will give them an answer
at the bslnnlng of the year. The alumni
nnd students at Washington and Jeffer
son ate eager o nave the coach return, but
Folwell probably will receive a flattering
offer from Syiacuse that will bo Impos
sible to turn down.
It Is known that Folwcll wants to help
IVtm next fall and Is willing to make a
big rncrlflro to do so. He nnnounced that
he is willing to coach the team for noth
ing If he Is wanted by tho Athletic Com
mittee nnd ho means It. If he Is not
wanted, however, he will accept the best
offer mailo by other colleges.
Syracuse is not tho only collega that Is
after Folwcll's services Several Institu
tions In the West and middle West would
Ilko to see his name affixed to a contin:t
and ate waiting to see how things turn
out nt Ftanklln Field.
Folwell made a wonderful record last
fall at Washington and Jefferson. Ho de
veloped eight new players and lost only
one gnme, Pittsburgh winning by the
score of 19 to 0. it was the real test of i
Folwcll's nblllty, nnd ho camo through
wlht flying colors.
"Yes, I liavo i-pokeii to Mr. Southworth. i
of Syracuse, regarding a coaching posi
tion next fall," hnld Folwell today, "but i
nothing definite lias been done. I was
told that tho Athletic Committee would
take up tho matter and let me know In a j
week or so. If I am not wanted at Penn, ;
J sjiull accept tho oiler, provided tha
terms are satisfactory But I want It
ma do plan that I nin willing to do all I
can to assist Pennsylvania, and tho old
collego comes first."

BIG DEALS ARE RUMORED
NHW YORK", Dec. H.i-A peace settle
ment between the Federal Jengue and
organized ball may bq reached before the
National League meeting is brought to a
close, according to Hie enrly arrivals for
the annual meeting of tho ncnlor league.
Whatever negotiations are carried qn bet
tween the warring forces will bo accom
plished through Garry Herrmann, presl
dent of the Reds and chairman, of the
National Commission, and he js said (o
have come Kast with n plan which will
settle hostilities.
When approached on the subject ot
Pence two weeks ago, magnates pf or
ganized ball Indignantly denied that
there was a chance for tho factions "to
get together, but todny they merely
stated that they did not care to discuss
the matter, not knowing' what action the
league would take. At tho same time,
President Gllmore. of the Feds, who one
week ago wns talking nbout war to tha
llulsh, has changed his tune,
lillmorc admits thnt It lyotitd be better
for all concerned If a settlement were
reached, but Insists that It must be made
nt onco or tho Feds will enter New
York. If this step Is taken It must be a
war lo the llnlsh, as It will cost tho In
dependent league close .to 2,O0O,00Q to
placo a team in the Metropolis, nnd hli
alone would assure a long battle, with
great losses for b'Jth bodies.

Class A. A., which was wrecked by the
Federals, will adopt resolutions, to be
presented to the National and American
Leagues, which may prolong the war.
President Barrow Is particularly bitter
toward the Feds, and Insists on the major
leagues crushing, Gllmore's organization.

has been rumored thnt Harrlsburg would
also bo diopped, because President Bar
row Intimated some tlmo ago that two
cities would lose their franchises.
That Harrlsburg will remain In the cir
cuit is the opinion of baseball men here
today. The Pennsylvania capital sup
ported it losing team In first-class s,tyle
and, irlth n chance to open a cnmpalgn
with a good team, would be a big money
maker. It Is possible that one of tha
Canadian cities. Toronto or Montreal,
may give up their franchise along with
Richmond, until the war Is over, as the
attendance in both cities fell oft Inst year.
RICHMOND MAY DROP.
Richmond Is a good ball town, but Is
too fnr away for tho rest of the circuit,
Traveling expenses ate up most of the
visiting teams' share of the receipts of
