No. 0 in 1025 Banking
Brian ”Bic" Norton. formerly of

in national tennis play.
Norton was placed at No. ii In the
1915 national rankings. He was
shoved ah d of such prominent
stars as W y Brown, George Lott.
Lucien Williams. Alfred Chepin and
others. Only Manuel Alonso. How.
ard Kinsey. Takeichi Harsda and
Cranston Holman. outside of the
‘Big Four"-—Tilden. Johnston. Rich-
ards and Williams, were pieced in
higher positions.
Last year Norton went as far as
the third 'round in the national
championships. I-Ie whipped Myron
Hutchinson and Wm! Brown. Then
he encountered Rene Lecoste. the
sensational French player. costs
best Norton, putting him out I the
running. but the Missouri racqueteer
gave the invader one of the toughest
afternoons he experienced during his
sojourn in this country.
Lacoste took the first set. 6-4. but
Norton came back to trim the for-
eigner even easier. 6.: in the sec-
ond. The third went to deuce twice
before Lacoste won, I4. In the
fourth Norton tied things up again,
6-3.
The decisive set was a thriller.

Norton has been playing his usual
consistent game all season and p-
peers stronger than a year s 0.
However. he isn't likely to get any
farther than he did last year—not
with such a. formidable field compet-
ing.
Norton is essentially a baseliner.
He tops hie drives on both hands.
yet manages to maintain speed and
pace. His backhand drive is as eh-
Iective a passing stroke as is his
forehead. which can be said of few
players.
Norton is exceptionally nest afoot
and drives so accurately it is den-
gerous to take the t on hi even
when he is driven r o t o court.
His service is an esaggera ed Ameri-
can twist. ineffcctive as a point- win-
ner but valuable against an oppon-
ent with a week backhand. His
volleyiug is crisp but erratic and
overhead he's unsound.

HARVARD STARS
BBCLARBB on
CAMBRIDGE. Mesa. Oct. 5.—
Joseph P. Crosby. Crimson regular
halfback, and It. W. Turner, center
on Harvard's varsity football team.
today were declared ineligible for
football for the entire 1026 season.
The two players were placed on the
list of "temporary ineligibles" last
week when they failed to pass read-
ing examinations in French and
German. and were unable to figure
in the Saturday game in which Ge-
neva defeated the Crimson.
Last Friday when Crosby and
Turner were ruled out of the game
by faculty order it was reported at
first that the ban was for the entire
season. Later. however. the Harvard
Athletic association announced that
it would not be known definitely un-
til tonight whether the players could
compete during the rest of the year.
Official explanation from the col-
lege office was that Turner and
Crosby "cot” not compete in foot-
ball until they had satisfied the de-
partments of French and German
that they could pass their examina-
tions." The marks of the examina-
tions were available last night and in
a final ruling the two players were
barred from the Crimson squad.
Both Turner and Crosby were vct-
erans. The former has been replaced
at center by Bell. who is lighter and
lacks Turner's experience. Crosby
has been relied on as one of the
most effective backfield men of the
Crimson squad. He has been re-
placed by French, a sophomore.

no intentions of marrying. as long
