SIX FOOT BALL men
ON GENERALS NINE

LEXINGTON, Va, April 26.-Foot
ball plays an ail-important part in
thase ball at Washington and Lee, at
least this is the case this year.
The Generals boast of one of the
best ball clubs in several seasons and
THE nucleus of the team hinges on six
men who also furnished a tower of
strength or the gridiron last Fall. All
six of these men have won their mon
ograms in foot ball and every one with
the exception Of one We're regulars
on the eleven.
The backfield of the foot ball team
sends four men to the diamond and
with the one exception of Stearns, the
first set of backs are the ones that
compose the infield. Tommy is a mem
Der of the second set of backs and on
the diamond is an outfieIder.
Palmer. halfback; Rauber. fullback,
and White, quarters, are taking care
OF second, short and third respectively
this Spring, while first base is held
down by Babe SPOTS, who is q flank
man on the gridiron Tips is doing
the bulk of the catching, and is cap.
tain-elect of the Fall sport. He has
seen plenty of service both in the
backfield and in the line.
White, SPOTS, Tips and Stearns will
again be seen in togs this Fall, while
Rauber and Palmer will be missing.
OF this outlay, SPOTS is the most
versatile player, having won his mon.
ogram in foot ball twice, basket ball
twice, boxing once and at the close
of the base ball season will have
won his diamond monogram twice.
He was chosen to lead the 1929
basket ball team by his teammates
at the close of the past season.

of your left hand.
In the center picture in the sketch
you see how this forward swing has
started.
Now in the third sketch, to the
right, you see by the club, and the
arrows indication direction force of
action, the player has gone directly
forward with the club and straight
forward after he has hit the ball.
That is the way to go into and
through the ball.
The circle about the waist of the
figure in the sketch to the right in
dicates the wrong action of twisting
the body to the left in the forward

This clever hurler again last Sat

as the result of an injury suffered on
the foot ball field last Fall and his
physician ordered not to pitch for a
week.
Either Randy Shreve, hefty south
paw, or Revele Jones, hight-hander,
will be on the firing line when the
Stenogs take the diamond in Wilson
stadium against Central. jake Lewis
will catch.
While Business has been dealt
blow as to pitching strength through
Marosy's loss it has gained through
Bernard Jones, shortstop, joining the
team. 1t was thought until recently
that this clever performer who caught
last season would not play this
Spring.
Jones' mates in the infield on Fri
day are expected to be Harry Slye
at first, Lester Singman at second
and Dick Keefer at third
In the outfield probably will be
Charley May in left. Randy Brady in
4 center and Randy Shreve in right if
he does not pitch.
Just how Business is going to fare
in the title series is rather difficult TO
predict. The Stenogs have played but
two regular games both against st.
Johns, winning the first and losing
yesterday. Admittedly they did not
look so "hot" yesterday. but all teams

While the back swing is straight

Observe the figure to the left in the

Now to start forward with the club
you first glide forward through the

action seemingly through the hips;
in reality it is not through the hips,
but throughout your entire body. You
merely move forward until you are
back on your two feet, squarely.
Blended with this is a gentle, easy
pull against the shaft from the left
arm. You start pulling directly
