The proper way to shift the ball is
to push the ball across the body
while %grasping one end of it with
the hand which originally held the
ball and grasp it with the free arm
as the shift is being made. The
slaif, should never be made when in

likely to be jerked away during the
shift and result In a tumble. When
the runner is in the open field, shift

will usually dart from the side on
which the back carries the ball in
