are both new to Georgia fans, and
the fact that its pitchers have been
among the best in the South for
the past few years is causing
Georgia supporters TO attach a
great big question mark to the box
department this season, when not
a single vet is back to bear the
brunt Of the battle.
Both Morris and Corley have
shown good form in practice, but
both lack experience.
THIS completes the list of first

who viii lead his team from his
regular position IN center field:
Bowden, last seasons all choice for

with HutChins will do most of the
receiving this season; Hutchins,
who played regular first in 1912, but
who will go behind the bat or in
the outfield when not in the bat
terry; CHM, for two seasons left
fielder and star base runner, who
gets his old assignment this year;
Covington, who played in the infield
last season and was the find at
third. Covington will listen TO the
third base line rooters when the
umpire calls the first game.
This is the roster of regulars who
are rot worrying over their Jobs,
but there are several out in the

letters last year, but were not reg

Captain Peacock, of the football
team, who was the best pinch hit

bidding for a berth in right and is
picking the ball as steadily as ever.

the base lines he will be a fixture

Heisman Explains Mystery Of "Fal!away Slide"
Learn to Do 1t Right, Or You May Break Leg

when attempting third Anyway,
you plan to clutch the corner Of
the bag with the hook made by
your left instep and foot-and that
is all and the only part of your
anatomy that is going to touch the
bag. To accomplish this, you lean
away over on your right hand and
begin to fall to your right away
from the diamond and toward the
outf1eld. Simultaneously you thrust
your right leg and foot well for
ward in the direction in which you
are going. You should be VERY
careful to see that you pick this
entire foot well up off the ground
and do not have any part Of the
spike of that foot caught in the
ground, If you do have it caught,
you are liable to break your leg
just above the ankle, for when you
put your spike into the ground that
Is brakes on" and that foot and
leg at least are ging to stop right
there. But the rest of the body is
trying to slide, and along ii comes
with all the crushing force of its
whooped up momentum. The whole
strain is forced against the ankle
of the foot which is spiked into the
ground, You can see that some
thing will have to give
So never perform this maneuver
in a careless or sloppy manner. #
YOU start his slide, go through with
It; otherwise don't start it at all
Well, with your head and the

very low down and moving rapidly.
When properly executed YOU will

ortener than when using any 9TH

When hooking with the right foot
you are, Of course, falling to the
inside-that is, on the diamond.

And at the finish of his dash he
must surely have the art of slid
ing thoroughly mastered. Other
wise he stir can be dubbed only a
dub.
Nov about this sliding.
IN First of all, the head-frst slide
came into vogue, and a very pretty
and useful slide it was. Until re-
Gently it still remained the favor
lite with college men and amateurs.
But professional players got to
going feet first, not only occasion
ally, but all the time. Sometimes
feet first was better than head
first, but professionals went that
way all the time, if simply be-
cause it worried and intimidated
the baseman more or less. There is
some danger, both to the slider and
the baseman, in any kind of a slide.
Feet first" with the long. keen
blades players are still permitted
to wear. is. Of course. the most
dangerous to the baseman. 1t is
natural enough that players that
have been badly cut time or two
by these relics Of barbarism'
should be trife spike shy" all of
which is in the runners favor If
he continues to go in feet Arst.
THERE IS another Kind Of slide
which is better than either Of
the others. This is the hook" or
fall away also known as the
"fadeaway." II is of Comparatively
recent invention, but has come so
rapidly in favor that already the
prep school players are using it ex-
tensively and are coming to college
with the thing thoroughly mas
tered.
Without illustrations, it is some
what difficult to give an under
standable explanation OF this slide,
but we will attempt it neverthe-
less
When going to second or third
you observe that the baseman COW
ering is taking the throw either
in front cs the base line or behind
it. OF course, this means that the
throw Is either a short or a long
one. but that point does not par
ticulariy concern YOU. The point
Of importance to you is that IL the
Saseman is stationed on or in front
Of the base line you must veer out
and go behind him This is diff
cult with the hook slide when GO

has a chance of trimming the big
leaguers out of tine series. He ad-
mits that that sounds chesty, but
wouldn't take it back for a fortune.
Yesterdays game, which the
Crackers won, s to l, wasn't an af-
fair that tended to shake Smiths
confidence in the team.
II was a raw old day. far too
cold for the Crackers to let out.
More than that, they faced a first
class pitcher in Zickerfoose. This
man is in a class far beyond most
of his team mates. Errors made
possible a number of the Cracker
runs, for which "Zichy" was in no
way responsible. He really gave
the locals very fair batting prac-
tice.
WITH each day that passes Wally
Smiths stock goes up. The
way he hit at a curve ball once or
twice suggested that he might have
some batting weakness. At that,
an average of 1856 in the National
league last year doesn't indicate
any alarming weakness. Yester-
day he managed to hammer out
Two hits and to walk once.
