Tales of a Wayside Tee
_____ By ?RANTLAND RICE_
(Copyright. HfS, Vest lo'k Tr.',*??
A brooding reader, possibly thinking
! over his golfing sins for the last year,
i and perhaps pondering on ways to lead
'a be'ter golfing life, a.'.ks this question:
"What arr the main ingredients of a
good golf awing? Is there one feature
at the swing that i? more important
tJan all othera?one thing to be given
gTeatcr rare in the improvement of a
poor game?"
Out of the fifty or more things that
one can do in the right way or th*
wrong way. especially the latter it i>
i no easy matter to segregate one or two
and call them the main foundations of
a mcre6sful style or method
Yet at least it is possible to make
some headway in this direction.
Stance and Grip
Stance and grip by some have bc*i
'called th" mos* important fdundution?.
; We have never thought so.
? dliners have the same
stai.ee or the easts grip.
uses a grip with both
tr.umbs down the shaft, but with r.o
other overlapping.
Geno Serazcn and Francis Ouimet
| employ the interlocking grip, where the
..nger of the right hand and the
forefinger of the/ left band are inter?
twined.
Welter Hagen, Jim Barnes, Bobby
Jones and others use the over!
grip.
Abe Mitchell uses the straight, oM
fashioned grip on all wc* den shots, with
the overlapping on all shorter iron
strokes.
Jerry Travers in winning live national
championships used only the straight V.
gnp, with no overlapping or interlock?
ing.
>o i.e.? we have a wider variety of
grips. Walter J. Travis and Alex Smith
both have the right hand well under,
while other? use it well over.
80 it can hardly be that a gnp is the
of good play.
Same for Stance
George Duncan stands with his left
foot fairly well advanced beyond his
right. So does Jesse Swee'
"Chick" Evans hold? his two feet
upon ar ?ven line.
??Itir Hagcn and Jim Barnes ke*p
their t'ght foot advanced beyond the
left. So does Jock Hutchiaon.
There is no standard system of stance
in this respect. So it can hardly come
down to a matter of stance.
We onee made the test of having a
certain ?veil known pro drive a ball
with different stances and different
5rips. In each inttanee he wes straight
own the course for his usual dis?
tance. And some? hat to bia own sur?
j prise.
The Great "What ft It?"
You ha?'? undoubtedly noticed these
details:
1 That nearly all fir?t class golfer?
have an almost atraight left ar
. not 100 per cent straight, at least with
j only a slight, comfortable bend in the
elbow, but never a decided break.
?
1 That la pivoting the head remains
almost precisely where It was, with the
left shoulder and the left knee turning
in toward the ball, the body turning
in ?Imost the tame space that it knew
in tea address.
-e points undoubtedly are to be j
found in most first das? games, where,
is seldom any lurching back and !
swaying forward through the stroke.
It la noticeable that when you see ?
golfer with a atralght or almost
straight left arm and a eound turning |
left shoulder and the left knee,;
uith the head held as an ?nchor, you ?ee !
n first class, player -perhaps not a ?tar,
hut one steadily down In the late 70s or
the early 80s. And 95 per cent of the ?
leaders play this way.
The Reat of It
This matter of pivoting and of head
balance forms no small part of the i
'a foundation.
\ft?r this comes the affair of balance.
:' rhythm. Balance must find the
weight adjusted at the top of the swing
where one la in a comfortable position
to hit the ball, lu Its main aspects It ,
means a natural transference of the
t on the back string to th? right
foot and the insid? of the ball of the left
foot. About 70 per cent of the weight
should be on tbe straight or firm right '
leg at the top of the swing.
matter of rhythm takes up the
de ail of an even, steady back swing
Itat in too great a hurTy to
It mein? a oown swing that gathers
?peed? up at it goes along
-n hu? on through the ball with
unchecked by any sudden
-.int or bead lifting.
This is all part of the right timing,
: th?- hardest things in golf to ex?
plain, for it frequently come? and goes
among the champions.
Many golf swings are wrecked by this
suddening tightening before the club
head gets to the ball, where if the dob
head waa permitted to whistle on
.h rough in a natural way, unchecked by
the desire to hit too soon, far better
results would follow.
These mistakes can com? from any
-f stance or grip, at a large part
of ruch errors are mental.
Did you ever observe that when an
average golfer is merely playing torn?
stroke to safe territory, without over?
doing any part of the string, how much
better his swing looks? How ^ften he
whalea the ball mach further on than
he expected to?
There are more thing? to bo taken
out of an average awing than there are
to be put in it, giving the club head ita
chance to whist through in a natural,
unhampered fashion?a chance the clot
head rarely has in a game that kills off :
confidence so iiuiekly and that bring?
on the passionate desire to kill the bal
lift the head to aee the doubtful
' its flight.
Briefly, there are as many mental
i o correct at there are physieal
And the mental deficits n
only the smallest of attention

Football Rankings
Numerous epistles continue to drift in regarding the
ranking of Eastern elevens.
The tangle In so many ease? ass so complete that
. almost Impossible to work out the problem.
Princeton, by winning < very gamo in a hard sched?
ule, accomplished something more than any rival, but
Cornell, vith s ?rest team, and the unbeaten Army
eleven, another great machine, with West Virginia, all
cut in on the glory.
Pittsburgh's fine finish leaves her only a notch
behind. We doubt that any team in the East could
have beaten Pitt on Thanksgiving Day.
Syracuse, losing only one game through a hard
schedule, had a great year. Her \ irtnry over Nebraska
??s? one of the outstanding foothnll f< nts of the year.
Syracuse hsd a tough bresk in this respect A few
minute? before the Pitt game closed she had the ball
on Pitt'? one-yard line, with the icon- tied %\ \\.\i.
Tao minutes later Pitt had intercepted a forward pass
to run 80 yards to victory. But for that ?udden turn
Syracuse would have finished a hard grind unbeaten.
Just a few years ago the run of .300 ball players
:n either National or American League was somewhere
betwern twelve an?! fiftooi. Through this last season
fifty-three National leaguers hit .300 or bettt r, an
average of nearly seven .300 hitters to each club. This
phenomenal jump tells Itfl own story?not so much of
increased effectiveness st bst or weaker pitching* or
poorer fielding, ! i:t sJss of a ball that travels much
faster from the bat and ?kips by an inflclder before
he csn blink.
This faster bsll would mskr an even better game
i?t*> only big enough to give fast
to run down long drives. As it
too frc,vntly bark up ten feet, stsnd sgainst
tlM wall and watch high flies drop into the stands for
home runs. Yet there arc few greater thrills in base?
ball than a long running cath hy ?omc great outfielder,
killing off a triple by a fast sprint and a fins! desperate
etab.
How can there ever be any fair ranking so long
S3 schedules remsin so uneven or so long as there are
?o many different eligibility rules? Teams that play
freshmen or that play men in their fourth year of
football have a decided advantage, one hard to measure.
All these things cut away any foundation upon which
one might build.
Boxers complaining of the stricter rules that are
bring added from time to time should remember they
have brought most of this upon themselves. The larger
the purses the more careless they havo become in
many instance?, and the large number of fouls that
have been committed in the last few months call for
action of some sort. If the boxing game was ever left
to the boxers and their managers the ??port would last
about two and a half weeks, at a liberal estimate.
