Many Men Answer Basketball Call
 For Georgia Team
By EARLE E. WATSON, JR.

Athens, Ga, December 11.-(Spe- cial. )-Basketbal practice started at the University of Georgia Monday with about 35 candidates reporting for practice.
 Though only two regulars from last year's squad are back in school host of likely scrubs are ready and eager for a shot at the first string squad.
 Paige Bennett, regular center last year, Is back in line for his old position, with Sam Boney, former Citadel star, as possible rival for the pivot. Eddie Rawson. veteran of two years standing, will again hold down forward position. Raw son almost single -handedly won the game with Vanderbilt last fall. and seems to be the most probable choice for this years captaincy.
 Without a Captain
 The Red and Black is entering practice without the guiding hand of a captain. Red" Owens, stellar guard Of last winters crew, and who was elected captain of the present squad at the close of last season. failed to return to school here. but went to Oxford, England. instead
 NiCA NtA WiAO BOl nlS at the college cage game during the s. I. A. A. tournament last winter, looks like a sure bet for the other forward. The Fort Valley youth IS a sure shotf on the basket, and han dies himself just like a good forward should.
 Candidates for the forward places are numerous. however, and several new corners to the cage business promise to give the apparent cer- tainties a run for the well-known jack" Fate" Davis of Macon will afford tussle for one of the va cated guard positions Davis has an ideal build for a watchman, and Is solely grit and muscle. Cheeves Will Be Missed The absence of Buck" Cheeves, who has held down a guard for the past two seasons. will be sorely felt. There seems to be no one capable of supplying the pep" and verve so admirably supplied by the Atlanta whrlwind. Cheeves put the fight into the game, and the fight Is what is needed.
 Joe Bennett, the grid star. will not contest for a forward this year This comes as a disappointment to the followers of the basket game, as Joe showed no little promise as a member of last years freshman team.
 "SmacE' Thompson will add a touch of grid flavor to this years cage tryouts. &rhe demon halfback is out for a place at guard, and bids fair to make a great essay for the place.
 Ed Gurr of Macon. who shone in the few trials given him with the varsity last year. will probably alter nate with Murray at a forward. C. Pierce, formerly of the Citadel bas- ket varsity, is out for forward and looks good
 Of the freshmen Carter of the G. NJ A. and Scherrer, former star at Scwanee Military academy. have showed up best.
 Coach Herman I. Stegeman will again direct the destiny of the Red and Black five. "Steg" has turned out two of the best lives in the his tory of the university since his ar 1 rival here. and looks to be the king ! of southern basket tutors.
