GOLF AND MILITARY DRILL
DON'T co WELL TOGETHER

ATLANTA. Ca, July 11.-Apparently
it is impossible to learn golf and mil
itary drill at the same time, and
equally impossible to be good at the
bayonet lunge and the mashie shot
The only regret of the young stud
ent officers at Fort Mcpherson is that
their training has ruined their form
On the links. After two months OF
drilling at the fort, when they return
to the country clubs on Saturday af-
ternoon and Sunday they find that
their ease and grace with the golf
clubs has disappeared.
In golf you address the ball with
your feet well apart, while in the
military you stand at attention with
your heels together In swinging your
golf club your feet stay on the ground,
while in the bayonet lunge your left
foot comes upward sharply and for
ward at least fifteen inches.
The most curious phenomenon on
the links is the young fellow who
learned the military manual first and
then went in for try at golf for a
diversion. His combination of military
form and golf form makes pretty good
comedy

We are counting largely upon end
