Getting hold OF q pupil personally
ls quicker work and produces better
results than written instructions, but
I could handle only very few per.
will do better for the great majority.
I am going to write here exactly what
I would tell you II were alone with
you out on the course.
II l could pick my pupils, / would
select the man who In the first place
was enthusiastic over the game and
willing to devote part Of his time to
practice. Unless he Is willing to prac-
tice all the golf instruction that can
be injected into his brain will be lost.
To succeed at golf, the fundamentals
Of the game must be learned thor
oughly. No person would be 30 foolish
as to build house without q founda-
ton that would stand longer than the
superstructure.
II you have a solid basis to work
on, you are going to get a jump on
your rival that will carry you far be-
yond him.
Find Few NaturaIs.
would rather select a pupil that
had some natural ability, too. 1t is
not often that we find natural golfers
to instruct. Most Of them develop
this golf SO fast that they do not feel
the need Of professional service. This
is a pity. too, as many a champion Is
lost to golf just for that reason.
Pros usually have to struggle along
with the poorer talent-if you can, in.
deed. call 1t talent. 1t Is either the
man who is woefully off his form or
the beginner who has not fully de.
cided yet as to whether he Is going
to like the game, that come to US for
service.
Women golfers sometimes make
good pupils because they do exactly
what they are told to do without
uuestioninf the teacher or challenging
his statements, unless they are being
instructed by their husbands.
The first requirement for any golfer
Is a good pair Of hands and wrists
backed up, Of course, by strong mus
cular arms. You are not apt to find
such equipment in the woman golfer.
This is the reason the fair sex are
limited and can never drive a ball as
far as the average man. There is
hope for our sisters and our mothers
because they are not competing with
men players as a rule and any sort
Of a game that they pick up is mea'
sured in competition with their own
sex.
wish the great army OF buffers and
beginners could get the same light on
the game and beat the Inc instruction
part Of 1t the same way as the
pros do.
No professional that know Of "a
ever entirely satisfied with himself
II he is a tournament player, he Is
keen to learn something new. When
pro Is playing badly he does not
hesitate to ask some Of his pals to
look him over. An expert can al
ways see some little fault in your
swing that you would not be con
scious Of yourself.
The Same Principle.
Men golfers who have never had
much Of an athletic training take a
long time to learn the game. Golf
is not much like baseball as I have
said before, but there Is something of
the same principle in 1t. That is. the
idea that you are hitting at a ball with
a bat or a stick. There Is somewhat
the same movement with the arms al.
though the two strokes are totally
dissimilar.
The fault that find most common
with the woman player, and this goes
for the non-athletic man golfer too, is

Battle for Albion

Almas football team will help AL
bion celebrate "Home Coming" day
Saturday, the Maroon and Cream
game with the Methodist collegians
being made the center Of the stage
for The annual return of the former
Albion students to their Alma Mater.
Although defeated by Kalamazoo
Z to 0 Saturday in the battle for the
Michigan Intercollegiate champion
ship, the Maroon and Cream is not
overlooking the fact that the Albion
ties have a wonderful small college
aggregation, as the defeat of M. A. c.
by the Methodists indicated. Four
teen letter men from previous seasons
are on hand for the Albion coach and
he has been using them to good adj
vantage.
Against these fourteen letter men
Alma will at most show only four
men who played college football pre-
vious to this year, four men who
fought on a team that failed to win
game a year ago. The balance Of
the squad is composed Of men new to
college game this year
Naturally Alma's prospects for
Saturday do not look any too en-
couraging with Carly out of the
game for the season From the show
ing of the team during the past two
or three weeks one might think that
Albion would roll. up count of
around 40 points on the Campbell
clan. That won't happen, however
Albion will find that she has to fight
and fight hard for every inch of
ground that she gains in the Satur-
day fray.

Ithaca took the county honors from
the locals, after several years in Al
ma hands, by taking the game by a
score Of , to 0, a safety counting the
only points made.
This season, like last year, only one
contest is being played between the
rival schools, and it is expected to
draw out n big bunch Of fans, who
hope to see the Orange and Black re-
gain its football supremacy in the
county. Alma has every expectation
of putting over a victory, but will be
forced to work for it, as the ithacans
have been pointing their team for
this contest. AS in past years Ithaca
would rather win this fray than any
game on her football schedule and
will battle to the limit to achieve her
desires.

ARMISTICE DAY GAME

Local football fans will get a
chance to view a good football contest
here Friday afternoon when the Alma
high school football aggregation
clashes with the Alma College second
team on Davis field.
The collegians recently defeated
Mt. Pleasant high by the same score
that the Alma high aggregation did
earlier in the season, and as result
the little dope that is available seems
to indicate that the two teams are
about Of even strength.

HILLSDALE WINS
OVER ALMAITES
BLUE AND WHITE CELEBRATES
HOME COMING WITH A TWO
TOUCHDOWN VICTORY.

Hillsdale defeated Coach Camp
bells near Frosh football aggregation
Saturday at Hillsdale by score of
IA TO 0, showing over touchdowns in
the second and fourth quarters. 1t
took all of tine fifteen veterans that
Hillsdale had from year ago to turn
the trick on the Maroon and Cream
aggregation, which displayed the
best football since the Michigan State
Normal game.
At that Alma was not outplayed to
the extent that the score might indi-
cate. Time and again Alma smashed
her way far into Hillsdale territory
and had the Blue and White badly
worried Especially did Alma worry
the Blue and White eleven in the
third quarter, when the Almaites with
Californian driving them hard adj
vanced the ball from the Alma 25
yard line to the Hillsdale yard
stripe. The quarter ended with the
ball three yards from the line, and
two downs to carry it over. The
ntermission gave the Hillsdale team
time to pull together again and when
the fourth quarter started the Alma
eleven found itself unable to gain
the goal in the two downs. During
this march Californian pulled off the
most brilliant pass that Alma has
had during the season, this pass gain
ing so yards for Alma when in sank
into Captain Waggoner's arms.
Ama's dash surprised Hillsdale
not only on offense, but defense, the
Maroon and Cream holding the vet
eran team for downs on a number Of
occasions, when the Blue and White
seemed certain to gain its yardage.
Both of the Hillsdale touchdowns
came as a result Of wide end runs
Sartor in each case set down his OPP
posing end and did much to smash
up the Interference, but in each case
the Alma half was drawn out Of the
play, and the Blue and White sailed
down the field for the counters.
On three occasions Californian was
the sole Alma man between a Hills
dale runner and the goal, when the
Blue and White went around on long
end runs. Once he dove and drove
the runner outside preventing the
touchdown, and ON the other two &C.
casions nailed his man in the open
field and prevented the counters.
Not only did Californian play a
fine game, but Sartor, Foster and
Anderson. The line also looked good
and time and again it opened great
holes in the Hillsdale defense through
which Alma gained time and again.
Not until Hillsdale nailed her second
touchdown in the fourth quarter did
it dawn on the Alma team that the
Blue and White could win. The one
touchdown margin that Hillsdale held
