the county committee. and j. II. II. Van
Iant was elected TO take his place.
The question whether the posts in the

dorsed the bonus proposition at its

Sound Theories

couHu IHcOTIeS
For his golf matches he goes through
regular exercises and training, eating
only certain things, just as he used to
in his football campaign. For the links
he has evolved n number of theories,
but when asked to set them forth. re
piled that he had not yet given them
enough of n tryout.
In particular. Grant believes in the
short shaft. depending ior his shot on
the club in hand. He, therefore. spares
no shot. playing one as vigorously as
another. and letting the clubfacc make
the shot.
Grant is shown in the illustrations
in his vigorous play of n wooden shot.
though in actual play he uses II decid
cdly shorter grip.

Pennsylvania state champion. (which |
