ginia's track team hopes for revenge
upon North Carolina when the Cava-
lierS, the Tarheels and Virginia Poly
technic Institute meet in triangular

North Carolina had never defeated
Virginia In track until 1928 when the
Cavaliers were represented by a very
weak team, And in 1925 and again in

This year the Cavaliers have the best
track prospects in years. with at least
four men who may make the United

Carolina and Tech is the first of the
season for Virginia. Both other teams
have been in action before.

between Carolina and V. p. 1.
Time trials on Lambeth Field were
held in the teeth of a strong. cold wind
and the records made the first of the
week were not up 10 standard out

rood shape for the races and field events
on Saturday.

inSon are newcomers. Flippin is IA
tional pentathlon champion.

The mashie Is a more compact
shot than the wood. Because its
object Is to place a ball near the
cup and not 70 gain distance the
pivot for II Is limited.
Jim Barnes. for example, places
most of his weight at stance on his
right leg. As the club reaches the
top Of the swing his pivot is so
abbreviated that 1t is not necessary
for him to raise his left foot of the
ground In order to balance his
weight, now carried by the right
almost entirely. Instead. his left
foot is fat on the ground at the top
OF his swing. He merely bends his
left knee in toward the right.
But ON wooden shots all good
golfers have to raise the left foot
until only the inside of the big toe
is on the ground. This is caused
by turning the body to get ones
weight into the shot and by the
greater spread of the feet at stance.
Your nashie shot Is mostly an
arm shot, the shoulders merely turn
ing with the arms; whereas, the
wooden shots are both arm and
body. Hence, to get the body into
the sweep, II must be wound up.
This winding up pulls the left foot
up on its toe.
