Tusca loosa, February l.-tSpecial5 ) The recent action of Coach Graves in resigning his position as head of all university athletic teams. while not en- tirely unexpected, has caused quite q ripple of interest in the college com munity. It will be remembered that Graves rendered his resignation to the board about this same time last year but a petition was circulated through the student body by the members of the football team and the resignation was withdrawn.

ORA VES' RESIGNATION NOT UNEH STEI
By ''H0I


This year, up to the present, no suc| petition has appeared and it seems thd Graves resignation has already bee accepted.
 The athletic executive committe held it's regular meeting this aftsinoo and it was generally believed tha Graves successor would be chosen d this meeting. However, the mostin was given over to discussion pf oth CT matters of interest and the electio of coach for next year was post poned for awhile.
 This is Graves fourth year in tn capacity of coach of the Crimson team and during this time his personalit has won him a great number of pen sonal friends However. the work q the 1914 football team was a grea. dis appointment to the majority of its suu porters and naturally the greater pa1 of the blame fell upon the shoulders Q Graves. Whether its failure was dre | any fault of his is an open question and is the subject of much discussio at the present. However. whereve Graves goes from here it is certain tha the personal good will of the entir student body will go with him.

PUGILISM.

N OC GLOW, the genial physical
 director of the B. A. C., - announces that the hands of Al Wambsgands. the wel.er- weight from New orleans, will be in good shape for the bout next Monday night. Wambsgands will arrive in the city in a few days and begin active training for the match. His opponent, "Ydnk o Brien of Jacksonville, has been in the city for several days and is in the pink of condition. Fisue en- thusiasts- are assured that Lext Monday night will see the best stag of the season.
 Incidentally it must be stated that the semi final bout at next Monday nights stag will eee "Rube' Heinie of Avondale matched against a fighting piece of machinery named Red Holt of Fairfield. It is understood that in Red Holt raging battler ias been uncovered and one that will make the redoubtable Heinie Of Avondale take to the tall and un cut However that is only an un- derstandine.
 Physical Director Glow of the B. A. C., who is master of ceremonies in all of the stags, is hopeful re- garding Holt. According tosDoc, the boy from Fairfield should give the Avondale "Rube" all the gaff nee essary. Doc Glow also states that tie OBrien- Wambsgands affair
 II be one that win warm the cookies of the heart of ring ex- perts.
 "Rubc" Heinie, the champion "prelim' fighter of the city scosfs at the claims of Red Holt and asserts confidently that at 10 o'clock next Monday night the Holt person will be trudging his Way back to the wilds of Fairfield a sadder, sorer and wiser boy. "Ru6e' also states that at 1S3 pounds he can lick the world. Shades of Fred die Welsh, Charlie White, Joe Shu- grue, have we champion in our midst?
 
 BASKETBALL.
 What Columbus did to the Birmng ham Athletic club quIntette was cx pected. There was no surprise about that game. only in that the R. A. C.'s managed to score. Never mind, boys, only a few more games left to play this season.
 Director E. Nespor stated last Sat urday night that he could pick differ ent team for every night in the week to trounce the Birmingham Athletic club basketball team from the horde of playground leaguers under his con- trol From the claims of Mr. Nespor it can be seen that the Seniors of the Young Mems Christian association would beat the Athletic club so badly that it would take an adding machine to compile the score.
 The B. A. C.'s will clash with the Port Henry, N. Y.. quintette next week at the gymnasium Of the Attn letic club. It will be the third game of the season in the local court. The first game, if memory serves us right, was with the "Osteopaths' of Mis- souri, and the B. A. C.'s won handily. Incidentally, that was the first and only game won this season by the Athletic club.

ball has bounced on the ground as distin.
guished from the "volley' strokes which are
made on the ball before it reaches the
ground.
Your usual ground strokes will be the
"forehand drive" and the "backhand drive"
These are the dependable strokes and their
proper execution is more important than all
the other strokes Of the game, including
service, combined.
The significant points OF these drives are:

| have said that the best time to hit the
ball is when it is rising from the bounce;
the average player waits until the ball be-
gins to descend. but it is self.evident that
valuable time will be gained by hitting the
rising ball. 1t is a more difficult play but
the secret OF fast play.
The backhand drive is made in exactly
the same manner as the forehand drive ex-
cepting that the weight is poised on the
left instead of on the right foot and the grip
upon the racquet changes.
Every player likes TO rattle her opponent
by any fair means and thus win the wit
