GEORGIA SETS PACE FOR DIXIE GRIDDERS ATLANTA. November 12—The Georgia Bull Dogs are atop the heap in the southern conferenca foot ball race—at lease for this week. The grid card for next Saturday contains suffi- clent uncertainty to inject a big if in the leadership dope. Georgia took the lead Saturday wth a victory over Virginia. glving the Bull Dog tally three victories in as many starts. Washington and Lee comes next with two wins in that rte. While the Generals grap- with the luckless South Caro- ew, Georgla meets a determined contender In the Vanderbilt Com- modores. The ease with which the re- vived Commodores annihilated Ten- ¥, looms as a threat to carlier in the season experienced some difficulty in subduing Tennessee. Two free-swinging elevens from Virginia—Military and Poly Institutes —threaten further complications in their games with Tennesses and Vir- ginia respectively. At present these contenders are just under the perfect score mark with averages of .750 for four games. Victorles for them—re- garded as likely due to weakened op- position—will throw them into the van should there be upsets among other leaders. Kentucky's Wild Cats come to At- lanta next Saturday handicapped by a zero standing and a tle in two games to battle Tech, which now boasts a victory and two knotted counts and no losses.

FootBallFacts OFFENSIVE LINEMAN CHARGES OPPONENT BACKaQUT On a play through the line, should the object of the lincsmen simply be to make a hole by shov- ing their opponents to one side or should the whole line charge their opponents straight back? Answered by HUGO BEZDEK Coach of foot ball, Penusylvamia State College. Tenms unbeaten fin three years previous to 1022. For- mer coach Unlversity of Oregon and nlso former manager of Pittsburgh Pirates, & ok ok % An offensive line should charge the defcnsive line both back and out. This is true because it makes an_cffective hole and it keeps the defensive player out of the play longer than a mere straight charge or a shove to the side. In fact, a combination of the side and back thrust is the only way in which a fine can be successful in making the necessary holes for the back- ficld men to go through. 1 (Copyright, 1923.) \ \ wo undefeated | THE What boy's pockets in the past have not contained the ingredi- ents of a base ball—bits of twine and rubber! How many of us in our youth have not gone to stores and begged for rubbe: bands for the good cause of the gang waiting at the corner? The ball in early days was a very crude affair. Henry Chadwick, the pioneer sport writer, de- scribes the ball of 1858 as weigh- ing six and one-half ounces and measuring ten and one-quarter inches in circumference. That it was “lively” was due to the one- and-one-half-ounce rubber heart it had, covered with yarn and enveloped outwardly with leather. This was better than the ball of 1842, which was made of yarn. Between these there came a larger ball, covered with sheep- skin sewed on in four sections according to the specifications of some unknown shoemaker. You'll see how a blacksmith gave some other specifications later on. The ball of 1854 was desig- nated by the base ball powers then governing the game to weigh from five and one-hali to I six and one-half ounces and to be from two and three-quarter | to three and one-hali inches in | diameter; while that of 1872 was to weigh between five and five | and one-half ounces and to be in circumference between nine and nine and one-quarter inches. This size has not been changed. But in 1909 the cork- center ball came into being. We present here a picture of an old-time ball—one used in the historic match, the first inter- collegiate match, between Am- herst and Williams colleges. Those were the days when col- leges used to play with the fa- mous clubs which were the fore- fathers of professional base ball. Ambherst's ball weighed two and one-hali ounces and was six inches in circumference. It was made at North Brookfield by Henry Hebard. Williams' ball was seven inches round and weighed more than two ounces. According to local accounts, it was covered ith light-colored leather so as to be seen with difficulty by the batter.” The ball is the very soul of the game. Its lively center of rubber became a bone of con- B the Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., November 12.— Nebraska's startling defeat of Notre Dame overshadowed all gridiron con- | tests in_the Missouri valley Saturday.

A camera Is set just over the finish line about three feet from the ground, and a string is stretched out across the track about the same height, and | three feet from the actual finish. The string, upon being broken by the | chest of the arriving ‘winner auto- matically releases the kodak, which i snaps the runners just as they cross | i the line. The negatives are developed in_two minutes. The photograph also will record the time of the race to one-twentieth of | a second.

Through an electrical arrangement it will be released by the firing of the starting pistol and stopped by the breaking of the string at the finish line.
