BACK-HAND STROKE SHOULD
BE STRONGLY DEVEL LOPED
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd

LIVERY man has some one stroke in
| IL tennis that worries him To some II is
the volley; to others II is the smash; to
few 1t is the service but to the great
majority 1t is the bacxhand. Most players
fear their baclxhand That is why so few
| great backhands exist. II is just as easy
| to make n backhand stroke as a fore
hand, provided we have confidence in our
| ability and do not try to shield our sup
| posed weakness To most players the
backhand is a purely defensive shot. There
are only two ranking players who rely
on their backhand regularly to pass q net
| player. One is Theodore Roosevelt Pell,
ranked No. this year; the other Is
X. N. Williams, I'd, our No. man. They
both score often off their backhand, yet
their shots are totally different.
Pelrs shot, the most remarkable back
hand in the world, Is a fast drive, but
just as the ball starts to fall from the
top of its bound. 1t is hit with full
arm swing and a great deal of top"
the weight travelling into the shot as Pell
almost jumps into the ball.
1t is wonderful piece of absolute con-
troll OF footwork, yet withal is very err
rattle, because he relies on terrific force
to beat the other man. 1t Is generally
straight shot, seldom angled.
williams shot on the other hand, Is
hit on the rising bounce with very short
swing, the racquet meeting the ball full
face and a wrist turn putting the top"
on 1t. Williams can hit either straight or
cross court from either side seemingly
equally well, owing to the shortness of his
swing, allowing him to change directions
at the last minute. The remarkable part
is the speed with which williams can hit
cross-court and hold the ball in court
But let US all remember that we are not
yet Pells and Wlliamses and therefore
fhaEA hnf n IrnT. nla,,u
as these shots are they are individual and
unique and should not be copied until
the fundamental backhand ground stroke
becomes second nature. Once that Is ac-
complished then we can begin to work
out the peculiar shot which will become
an attacking power.
Do not shield your backhand Never
form the habit of running around a ball
to get in on your forehand. To do SO only
weakens your backhand and lays you
open to easy attack, since your position
will be bad
Do not chop your bacShand until YOU
have acquired the fiat ground stroke or
drive. No less an authority than DR.. E.
B. Dewhurst says unequivocally, Never
chop your backhand under any circum-
stances" Doctor Dewhurst ought TO know
for there Is no greater authority on tennis
strokes in America today than he.
The reason for this advice against the
chop stroke is not that II is necessarily a
bad shot. but that 1t lacks pace. In mod
ern tennis pace is an absolute necessity.
California has proved 1t concluslvely. The
very nature of the chop stroke in itself
tends against great speed. and the result
is that 1t is an easy shot to volley once II
Is reached.
Do not think that this is advocating
"lacng the cover on every ball you hit.
Far be It from that. It merely is advising
the development of uniform speed, and
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-05-11

the uniform speed of drive is greater
than that of chop
The only great chop stroke backhand
today is Joseph j. Armstrong, Pennsyl-
vania State champion; but even his shot
lacks pace. and n net man causes Arm
strong a great deal of trouble.
Form your backhand shot, II possible
on the fiat racquet stroke. Strive for d.
rection depth and pace Off your backhand
just as hard as off your forehand.
The baokhand is the Verdun of tennis.
1t must bear the greatest strain, since the
strongest attack is always directed
against II.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.
tRcv. Russell Cecil, Second
PRESBYTERIAN

At Christmas time heaven seems to
come near to earth. We think OF the
visit of the angels, and in imagina-
ton we can hear the whirr OF their
wings, and their song upon the mid
night air--there is a hallowed in
fiuence about us. The reason for
which Is that we are celebrating the
coming OF God to earth in the per-
son OF His Son. The birth OF Christ
was the most noteworthy event in the
history of the human race. It was
the Divine seal upon the everlasting
hope which men had been cherishing
since the entrance of sin into this
world. The arrangement between
God and men was removed by the in
carnation and work OF the Saviour. A
ladder was let down from heaven to
earth, upon which the angels Of God
have ever since been ascending and
descending, bearing messages of love
and peace to men. In the sacred at
mosphere of this Christmas season no
needy soul should fail Of hope. 1t
must never be forgotten that the
angels did not make their announce
ment of the birth of Christ to King
Herod upon the throne. to the high
priest and other dignitaries at Jer-
usalem. nor even in the holy precincts
of the temple, but to a company OF
shepherds, in the fields at Bethlehem.
keeping watch over their flock by
night" Their message was 8 message
of love, of hope and of salvation to
the weary sons OF men: beginning with
