BY CENTRE TEAM
While talk of bigger deals war
flying around the meetings of the
big league owners in New York
the ' Browns purchased Chick
Shorten from the Tigers at the
price. Shorten doesn t
rank among the most brilliant
outfielders and he is weak in
fielding ground balls. But he is
a good pinch hitter and is a val
uable asset to any club because
of his agreeable personality and
his winning spirit. Shorten
failed to get the opportunity he
expected at Detroit, but gave the
club the best he had. Cobb's
wealth of outfielders caused him
to let Shorten go.

Conference Champions Out
classed by Wonder Team
from Kentucky.
San Diego, Calif., Dec. 27. Centre
College crowned its football Invasion
of the West with success by splashing
to a 38 to 0 victory over the .University
of Arizona here yesterday. Rain fell
throughout the game and the field was
a churned mass of slippery slime.
Several thousand people, raincoated and
huddled under umbrellas, stood through
out the contest. '
. Centre outclassed Arizona completely.
In the first half the Wildcats did not
rnake a first down and throughout the
game they- rarely had possession of
the ball. In the third and fourth pe
riods, they made a few good gains, but
were unable to maintain a continued
drive.
"Red" Roberts, noted end of the !
Centre team, and his equally noted
team-mate, Alvin 'Bo'V' McMillin, were
the Centre stars, although the work
of the other Kentuckians showed that
the team is not a one-man machins.
The work of Roberts was praticularly
noticeable his sensational catches of
forward passes, his line bucking and
J his work in interference being cheered
by tne spectators.
Roberts made Centre's first touch
down within five minutes of the open
ing gun. With Roberts leading the
interference, McMillin' and Tanner car
ried the ball to the Wildcats' three
yard line, where the Arizonians held
Tanner and McMillin but were unabie
to stop the Centre end, who backed
i cross the line. The second touchdown
came in the same period, when, after
bucking the ball down the field, McMil
lin went through right tackle for the
score.
Centre's next touchdown came four
minutes after the second period opened
when Tanner went through right guard
McMillin failed in attempts to kick the
first three goals. In the third period,
Arizona rallied and advanced but Tan
ner intercepted a forward pass behind
his own goal and the Kentuckians
ploughed down the muddy field to an
other score, Snoddy carrying the ball
over. Roberts kicked goal.
Covington scored Centre's fifth touch
down when, standing on his 50-yard
line, he caught an Arizona punt and
ran through a broken field for the
tally. Roberts missed goal. Covington
scored the last touchdown on an off
tackle buck. He kicked goal.

INDOOR GOLFERS STAND CIjOSER.
Indoor golf offers a wonderful oppor
tunity to put to work what my friend
Doctor William Brady calls "slacker
flesh," while at the same time it gives
the slicing and pulling golfer, especially
the former, the chance to work out for
himself a rule that I long have prac
ticed but have never spoken of before
in this column. This rule is: Stand up
closer to your ball.
Try it in your indoor practice and you
will find that your driving will be bet
ter. You will hit the ball a sweeter and
more resounding whack and the very
"feel" of the blow, its snap and the
I'ghtning-like get-away of the ball, will
bring you sure realization of the truly
hit drive. '
Before going into this, I wish to
urge men and women too to Clke up
indoor golf this winter. Schools are

ground so hard that trainers , were at
their wits ends to find suitable exercise

more "unfit" field ever turned put for a

Standing up closer to the ball accom

to the left just as it went through the
ball, imparting to the ball the fatal slic

a few inches closer, his slice vanished.
A little study and analysis on the
player's part will reveal to him just
what I mean by this. The clubhead
fine players have never been able to
rid thomslves of the habit.
Another good rt5fle to follow in your in
door practice is this: Learn to stiffen
the left leg as the clubhead goes
through the ball and thus keep the body
out of the stroke. Remember that the
head should be on an exact line with the
spot where the ball rested, after the
ball has been driven. It is permissible
to let the body go forward after the ball
has been hit. but the player who does
this too readily falls into the wrong hab
it of letting the body go too soon in he
stroke. The body push adds nothing in
the golf drive.
The five acts as a whole are delight
fully refreshing; the actors play with
"snap" and ebulliency and the enthusi
