ALEXANDER PUTS TECH
THROUGH LIGHT DRILL
A light practice was held by the
Tech football squad yesterday out on
the Flats Coach Heisman is under the
weather, but will he back for work to
day. Coach Alexander was in charge
of thd work and put the squad through
the usual conditioning work.
Ed Means, who it was thought would
not return, will be back in school and
will report this week. This certainly
is ■ neourv.ging news, and Ids presence
will greatly strengthen the line. Spence,
a big. heavy', strong-looking man from
Carrollton, has reported, and has a
good chance of landing a berth on the
big team,
Loeb, last year’s center, reported for
work today and. though light, seems to
lie in great shape.
Nothing startling lias happened in
the way of new material being found,
but, slowly and .surely, the nucleus is
being surrounded by healthy, spirited
men. and Tech may not handle the
basement squad after all.
It's like getting money from home, for
it's money easily made by reading, using
and answering the Want Ads in The

opportunities offered them among the
small ads. It’s a good sign that if the peo

of The Georgian that there would not be
so many of them. If, for nothing else, sit
down and check off the ads that appeal to

Self-Taught Golfers Seldom
Learn Real Enjoyment of Game
By Mark Allerton.
IDO not thlnK that very many
people become golfers because
of a fixed determination or
malice aforethought. A few, in
deed, do because their doctor tells
them to. or because golf is the
fashion, or because (and these are
the rarest) they realize that, of al!
games, golf presents the greatest
number of opportunities for enjoy
ment.
Tiie rest take to golf as some peo
ple take to drink. They are in
duced to play a stroke or two,
these strokes lead to a round, and
that round to many rounds; and
before the victim knows where he
is. ail that matters to him in heaven
above or earth beneath is the hit
ting of a ball well and truly, and
the lowering of his handicap.
It is rather a pity, from one
point of view, that the golf habit,
like the drug habit, seizes upon its
victim in this insidious manner. Let
me explain why .
it is at this season of the year
that the golf microbe gets busy.
All sorts .and conditions of people
who have hitherto known golf only
as it is interpreted to the comic
press go to a holiday resort where
there is a golf course. There they
meet some indulgent friend who in
vites them to a game. Protesting,
half-contempiuously, they accept
the invitation, and in nine cases
out of ten they are inoculated. The
golf microbe has them in its power.
Life of Futile Hopes.
They continue to play strenuous
and inefficient golf with whomso
ever they can beguile. If they be
conscientious people they will play
solitary rounds by themselves, or
even practice the shots that are
most difficult to them. And one
day—-after they have gone back to
town and joined a club—they will’
get a handicap and take part in
matches, and (I regret to say it)
the rest of. their life will be, one
long regret and a series of futile
hopes.
The reason of this horrible fate is
because these people have been
content to teach themselves. They
have hugged to themselves the de
lusion that golf is quite an easy
game, that anybody ought to be
able to bit a ball with a stick with
a bit of wood or iron at the end of
it. When they fail to hit the bail
to their own satisfaction they
blame this, that and the other cir
cumstance. They refuse to believe
that there is a right and a wrong
way of hitting the ball, and that
tlte right way can rarely be at
tained by intuition.
Golf is an extraordinarily fickle
game and one day It will delude
these people into thinking that they
really have mastered it, while the
next it will convince them that the
difficulty which a camel must expe
rience in endeavoring to enter the
eye of a needle is nothing com
pared to the difficulty of hitting a
golf ball toward a green.
Most of this difficulty’ is due to
ignorance. The majority of begin
ners have been told, or they have
read in books, that in playing a
stroke one must not move one's
body, or drop one's right shoulder,
or move one’s head, or snatch in
one’s aims, or do any of the other
half-dozen things one is so curi
ously apt to do. And these dear
souls do their, befit to put into
practice the knowledge that is
theirs, and they fail simply because
they lack the—
. . power iae giftie gie us
To see. oursels as ithers see us.
By’ watching a foozier play on
stroke a competent teacher will be
able to diagnose his ailment. He

It is easier to descend than ascend. A rascal grown rich has lost all his kindred.
, will prescribe his treatment, and
the wqrst of the remedy is that the
sufferer will, more likely than not,
find it almost worse than the dis
ease. His bad habits will have be
come second nature to him. To pull
in his arms, for example, will seem
to him the most comfortable way
in which to play the stroke, and to
thrust them out will be an irksome
and awkward exercise.- He will,
accordingly, have to unlearn al!
that he knows of golf before he
begins to learn the correct method
of playing the game.
That is why the casual and de
sultory way in which people "take
to golf is to be deplored. They
would save themselves a great deal
of unhappiness if, right at the be
ginning, they received proper tui
tion from a competent 'teacher. I
distrust amateur teachers. As the
tag goes, the advice that one gels
for nothing is seldom worth more.
The professional teacher is more
conscientious, more tolerant and
less irritable than the friendly am
ateur. We are also more inclined
to pay strict attention to his pre
cepts. Because we want to get the
value for our money’ we are care
ful to do as he tells us.
Crux of the Matter.
in short, I advise all those hosts
of people who, within the next few
weeks, will be introduced to golf for
the first time, to take the game se
riously. and to learn it from the
direct instruction of one who
knows how to teach it.
Those who do not wish to take
all this trouble may’ cast my own
words in my teeth, repeating that
golf is a game, and that we should
play golf for the sheer fun of it. I
qrge in return that a game is all
the better game and all the jollier
if one can play it so that one’s rec
reation Is not a series of trials and
blasted hopes. To the confirmed
foozier there is really very little
fun to be got out of a round of
tiie links. On the contrary, it is an
ordeal that brings into prominence
Hie frailties of his character. On
the other hand, the player who Is
continually in doubt whether he
will even hit the ball, not to men
tion hitting it in the right direction,
has so much worry on his mind
that he has no thought to spare on
the beating of his opponent.

PLAYERS’ UNION
IS LAUNCHED IN
NEW YORK
NEW YORK. Sept. 6.—Major league
baseball players formally launched their
new protective organization yesterday.
Il is mown as the National and Amer
ican League Baseball Fraternity, and
its certificate of incorporation was
signed by Supreme Court Justice De
laney.
According to the petition for incor
poration, its object Is to foster fra
ternal feeling among the players in
tiie two big leagues. * Dave Fultz,
former baseball and football star, who
was largely instrumental in bringing
the new movement to a head, is at
present president of the association.
While the articles of incorporation
have not beep made public, it is gen
erally believed the players intend, for
mutual protection, to demand repre
sentation of their brotherhood in the
councils of organized baseball.
The call for the organization re
sulted from the difficulties of Ty Cobb
which precipitated a strike among the
Detroit team in Philadelphia early in
the season.
Opposition from club owners is expected
to be directed against the organization.
The magnates fear this means the
unionization of baseball and the possi
bility of strikes.
Seventeen men. including players from
the Giants. Pirates, Phillies, White Sox,
Cardinals, Naps and Trolley Dodgers,
signed the articles of incorporation.
