Slim was a center on the Vanderbilt Commodores basketball team. Vanderbilt's yearbook The Commodore in 1922 mentions "This elongated individual of diamond fame played spasmodically at the tip-off role, occasionally displaying brilliant passing and accurate shooting, and at other times warranting the remark "As a basketball player, Slim Embry's an All-American pitcher."^[3]
