A v " IMODORE SQUAD - ETTER THAN 197 e U., Hard Hit by Loss of Stars, Sees Much Trouhle Ahead. BY H. C. BYRD. ANDERBILT University and Uni- versity of Tennessee foot ball squads are working out without some faces in their membership that last yeer graced many sheets as among the . greatesi +'s in the South. Vanderbilt, de- its losses, feels that it should have “am better than last season’s, while inassee is not so optimistic, as stat \': emanating from Knoxville indi- it does not expect to be as formid- . And to tell the facts as they are, ! difficult to see how either Ten- ‘e or Vanderbilt can be as good as < in 1921, considering the kind of ~s both graduated.

When the late Andy Smith last visited me we talked mostly about the kicking game. As teammates on the varsity at college, Andy as full- back, yours truly as end, we vividly recalled our failure to win a big game because of poor kicking. That disappointment in his playing career hed much to do with Andy stressing this form of play when he developed his winning California elevens. The Golden Bears won, 5o Andy said, be- cause in playing the kicking game to perfection they thus gained about 150 yards more ground to a game than any opponent. Coach Haughton, when at Harvard, gave the Crimson its one longest string of winning elevens in like manner. It is not strange then that “Nibs” Price, Smith’s successor at Califor- nia, stresses this same manner of attack. Price puts it concretely in these words: “You punt more than you use any other pla: ‘Why not perfect it in eyery detail In all sound punting speed is par- amount. Price depends on sound fundamentals to obtain speed. His kickers learn to kick by taking just one step. That saves half the time used in taking two. They are also HAT Tech High is to be repre- sented by another strong foot ball eleven is certain. The Ma- roon and Gray has a flock of 1927 veterans at hand and several newcomers of real promise. Tech probably will not have a heavy back- fleld, but it will be unusually fast and composed of clever, quick-thinking boys. ‘With at least two aspirants for every job, Coach Elmer P. (Hap) Hardell points out that every post on the team is wide open and will go to the candi- date who warrants it on the basis of ability and spirit shown. Tech’s squad after idling since last Thursday when it returned from a training period at the University of Maryland, College Park, because of in- ability to obtain a gridiron, drilled on the Tidal Basin field in Potomac Park. The new athletic field is not in shape for foot ball though it will be ready for sports in the Spring. In having to drill on the Tidal Basin fleld the Tech squad is under a big handicap, as the field is located so far from the new Tech building, the boys have to take their uniforms to and from home and some of them who live in the suburbs do not reach home until 8 o'clock at night, following practice. They have to get to the field {rom school the best way they can. It is hoped by Hardell, however, to secure Clark Griffith Stadium for prac- tice within a few days. Th2 Maroon and Gray has worked at the Georgia avenue ball yard for the past few sea- sons following conditioning work at the University of Maryland. Following is a list of candidates now in the running for berths on the Mc- Kinley team though a few more may be added later: Ends, Benner, Hoy, Edelblut, Hissey; tackles, Piggott, Cole, Edwards, Stutz; o | ‘Sharpe valuable performers, botil 13 just about deserving of the high- Draise possible for their play in every I Spears was one of the greatest -5 ‘anywhere, and it was a moot -tion between Tennessee and Van- »ilt supporters whether Sharpe or - cher ‘was the best center in tne h. McGugin Likes Outlook. Despite the graduation of such bril- t %erformer‘sr as were lost by Van- bilt, Dan McGugin, for many years ~d coach, says: “We have more mate- 1 to work with than we have had some time.” And considering the lity of hte material lost and the al reluctance of a coach to give too ch praise to his own men, it is in that Vanderbilt has some real terial out of which to weld a foot 'l team this Fall. It seems that some this new material to replace lost . “ris of the 1927 machine came from » freshman squad and some from 2 up of ineligibles. Vfi%dzrbflt Es& back from 1927 both tackles, Hawkins and Lusky; Aber- hy, end; Mcllwaine and Armistead, . with several substitutes. Several n come from a team that played i'»rough last season as the “Goophers,” de up of ineligibles, who will be of sat benefit this Fall if McGugin's ectations are realized. Brown, who ved guard year before last, and who ‘McGugin says is the best in the -nference, is one of the men avail- ». McGaughey, one of the 1926 backs +oligible last year, also is showing a nd deal of real worth. Two Scheffer boys, both from Nash- v'le, who were in Notre Dame two years £~ and were ineligible because of the 1+ ‘2-year rule are expected to help a lot. : .‘her played foot ball at Notre Dame, +1ough both: were out for foot ball dur- i~7 their freshman year. Notre Dame r~es mot play its freshman team in y ~7ularly scheduled, contests, and, there- 1. ve, these two meh have done nothing “1at would make them incligible. Other sien who come from that team of in- « igibles are Lokey, a guard; Sullivan, en end, and Lipe and Schwartz, backs. Dan McGuigin, coach at Vanderbilt, is the oldest coach in the South in the point of 1cGugin has been at ‘Vanderbilt for more than 20 years, and his work al- vays has been good. Of course, times have been when h; di&. xtm turn out vary strong teams, but usually was v?‘l—zn hengld not have much material. ugin is a good coach and person- is the most popular and best liked Has Two Good Backs. Roy Witt and Howard Johnson are the two stars from last year around whom Tennessee expects to rebuild its tram. Witt is a mighty capable back and Johnson ought to rank among the hest three or four tackles in the South. Witt can run with the ball like a real srtist and can pass and kick well. Mem- hers of the varsity squad of 1927 who are expected to be worth ‘while are Yorner, fullback; Tudor, quarterback,: “ripp and L. B. Johnson, guards; El- liott, tackle; Alley and Lowe, ends. -Two backs from the freshman team who ought to make the varsity and do even more than their share in carry< ing the ball are Hackman and McEever. The latter when in high school at Bristol generally was regarded as one of the best players in.the whole sec- tion. It was said that while he was in high school he was better than most college backs. Reineke at quarter, Hug at end, Thayer at tackle and Faust at fullback are the best of the other mem- bers of the squad who were in the freshman line-up a year ago. Dr. N. W. Dougherty just about sums up Tennessee's prospects when he says, “Our team this year will not be a vet- eran team and we may expect bad and indifferent performance, with a possi- bility of excellent showing in & number of games.” TRAPSHOTS PERFORM TODAY.

For the first six weeks of the season at least, Central High's eleven will have to get along without two if its most promising backfield aspirants in Dave St. Johns and Click Willingham, who have been lost to the squad because of failing in Summer school studies. Both boys have been used by Coach Louis J. (Ty) Rauber in early season drills. St. Johns has shown particular punting ability and Willingham shaped up as a heady, aggressive performer. Eastern’s huskies were sent through an energetic session yesterday under direction of Coach Mike Kelley. There are so many aspirants at hand for the Light Blue and White eleven that it will be hard for Kelley to get a real line on his best performers until scrim- maging gets under way probably the latter part of this week. Western's aspirants continued their conditioning work yesterday. Coach Dan Ahern does not expect to begin serious work for several days. He has to fill many gaps created through graduations. Business is just starting its drills. The Stenogs also have lost many 1927 stalwarts, but the material which re- ported at the first assemblage of cal didates was better both from the stand. point of quantity and quality than Coach Lynn Woodworth figured upon. Ritter and Depro, former backs of the Tech and Eastern elevens, respec- tively, are among candidates for the Devitt School eleven. Capt. Francis Knott, Culler, Bernard, Huntress and Sampson of the 1927 squad are among other seasoned players at hand. ston, Ge!

Golfers in sections that have been visited by almost continuous rains during the early part of this Sum- mer are having more than the usual amount of difficulty playing out of the rcugh. The growth of both long grasses and weeds has been excep- tional. The resuliing mat of rough is far thicker and heavier than usual. Digging a ball out of such lies is a probiem few have been able to_meet. Fred Brand, professional at the Allegheny Country Club near Pitts- burgh, has a stock remedy for this shot of great value. Brand is a tremendous driver. Many think bLis ability to get out of such lies rests with his strength. But it is due.to right methods. Brand advises one to forget about distance on such a shot, though it is surprising what distance results. Fred grips the mashie with wrists loose, with the first two fingers and thumb of each hand, picks the club up pretty much with the right and then swings it through with all pos- sible wrist action. You cut down straight back of the ball when the right -takes the club back, but your added wrist motion accelerates the head at such speed that a fine re- covery results. Keep your head down all through the shot. Sol Metzger has prepared a fine illustrated leaflet on “Slicing,” which he would be pleased to send to any reader requesting it.
