never owned a set of golf cluba until j
six weeks ago challenged a 19-year*1

Six weeks ago a friend gave him his
first set of clubs and the following

ALEX MORRISON says:
To teN a player to follow
through b like putting a curse
on him. In the main there are
only three or four ideas that
eauae most of a player’s troubles.
Trying to follow through b near
the top of the . j*.
Any player who gives thought
to his follow through or what
happens to his swing after the
ball has been hit, just shuts his
eyes to the rest of his swing. He
overlooks both back swing and
downswing in favor of something
that has nothing to do with the
flight of the ball.
The elubhead must be swung
through the ball properly. Its
movement must not be checked or
deflected as it approaches the ball,
but this does not mean that the
player should make any effort to
guide or control its movements
toward the finish of the swing. No
more should he try to control the
movements of the various parts of
his body in this final stage. Mo
mentum of the elub should govern
hb finish.
Eels have their scales Inside
their skins. Their sUpperlness Is a
valuable asset to them in escaping
from their enemies, and is due to
a highly polished skin which exudes
a sticky mucus.
| Ines, her dogs get their sustenance
out of a tin can.
One of her hobbies Is coll<*Un* re
cipes. She picked up her two latest
in London, one for English loaf cake
and the other for chicken ring with
white sauce. She has recipes from
Japan. Prance. Hawaii. The Moody's
woman cook knows her castUogy.
Aside from tennis, which le al
most as much of her life as eating
and sleeping. Mrs. Moody has many
other interests. She has sketched for
years, and recently she became a
camera enthusiast.
Although Interested In politics she
refuses to get overly excited shout
it. She has “republican leanings"
and thinks ths party leaders “had
better get busy." She follows cur
rent events closely but Invariably
turns to the sports pages first for
the latest tennis comment.
The game of golf recently stirred
up a new interest in the tennis cham
pion.
“Perhaps I shall take up golf after
I am through with tournament ten
