hard-hitting first sacker. However, three men seek that position and one is named Connaster, who has a rep utation as a hitter de luxe and whose fielding is quite flashy.
 Captain Gillis showed the Crimson fans that he still knows how to pole 'em out when he cracked several on the nose in hitting practice that were la beled base hits. This Is the Crimson who hit over 400 for many games last year. The Crimson skipper is a little overweight at the present time. but should be in good condition within a couple of weeks.

A capable lead-off man, good at getting on, he Is sure to be watched very carefully before he is shied away from the third sack. So it is with Huey Green at second. Greens will be the big feature in his playing regularly, as Salmon is already given the odds by some for the key stone bag. Another infielder that will bear watching is Andy Cohen.
 About 30 candidates are now out toss- ing the ball around at Denny field every afternoon. Many of these are regulars of last year, while some of them are

ALABAMA NINE GET
 BUSY WITH PRACTICE
Joe Sewel Will Help Coach Crimson Diamond Candidates
 Before Reporting To Cleveland Indians For Early Season Training

UNIVERSITY, Ala, March 1.-(Spe- cial.) )-Crimson ball tossers diminished few of the kinks in their arms and got their eye on the apple some the past few days of the week as Old Sol barely peeped out from the clouds and allowed AIabamas baseball candidates to start practice under Joe Sewell, Cleveland Indians shortstopper.
 The former Alabama infielder is to remain at the Capstone until later in the year and will then join Iris Speak er's crew. Like last year. he is to coach the players, and the good show ing of the Crimsons in their '23 sched- ule was mainly responsible to the early tutoring of Sewell.
 Practice the first few days has been mainly of an unlimbering process, with all hands tossing the spheroid around and taking swipes at the pill to get their hitting eye doing its duty. Some little work has been done around the infield, but the first few days of work have been devoid of thrills.
 Infield strong
 The Crimson infield should be one of the best in southern college baseball as three members of last years quar- tette and three extremely good sopho- more players are available. The only absence Is that of Max Rosenfeld,

chancellor of the university and the president of Georgia School of Tech nology, of it's faculty ehairmen of ath- letics and of the presidents of the two student councils to rneew athletic re- lations."
 During the five years since athletic relations were broken off, teams from the two schools have met only twice. Both of these occasions were in the an- nual s. I. c. basketball tournaments in Atlanta. when the Georgia and Georgia Tech teams were thrown together in the progress of match play. At both of these games, in 1921 and 1923, tremen- dous crowds were present. including al- most the entire student bodies of both schools, and the high quality of sports manship displayed on both occasions is believed by alumni here to have been an important factor in the decision to resume relations. Georgia won the game in 1921 and Tech won last year.
 A meeting in the tournament now in progress was made impossible by the defeat of Tech by Auburn last night.
