find themselves in the same situation

which gave the Indians fine battle this
season.
Playing in a league or association,
the Mohawks no doubt would meet
these clubs and under conditions, prob
ably, which would make the games
more interesting than they were this
year. Little trouble is likely to be en-
countered by the Indians in securing
Union Park for their games which
would insure them financial gain

Raymond Harsch. former Tech high

him off at Tech nine years ago.
Harsch ran last year for the Univer-

Harsch became acquainted with
Hec Edmonston, a former running

Edmonston and Gish were on the
Olympic team in 1912.
It fell to Harsch's lot to break the

Harry Vardon once said that he be-
lieved 1t possible to play a round Of
golf without taking any turf what
soever. Taking turf when done right
does not interfere with the shot. 1t 10
the player that hits down at the ball

head from coming through so q per-
feet turf-taking shot under these con-
ditions is impossible. A few days prac-
tice puts one right, however, and
sandy soil, Bermuda grass fairways
are soon mastered.
To hit the ball cleanly care must be
taken to keep the shoulders on the
same plane. There must be no dip Of
the left shoulder, in the back swing
or dropping Of the right in the down
swing. One would do well to follow
this idea at all times.
Dipping the shoulders is q common
fault and one that all golfers are like
ly to fall into. When done moderately,
the evil effects are not 80 marked but
The expert can take more liberties
with golf shots than the duffer be-
cause his understanding of condi-
tons are more accurate and his
knowledge of shot-making bstter.
But the beginner In time can learn
all of this. 1t Is the duffer that is
hopeless because he never takes the
time to practice or to watch, others
who are more skillful.
Golf can be learned in more ways
than one. Studying photographs
is a great help II done inteliigently.
Much can be learned in this manner
as certain good points and bad
points are brought out II one has a
large collection to look over. A col
lection Of photographs of the leading
golfers is a valuable thing to pos
sess.
A beginner should seize every op-
portunity to watch a good golfer
play his shots. Following four good
players in a four-ball match is a rare
treat. 1t is time well spent and will
profit one more than playing around
and repeating the same old mistakes
In his own foursome or twosome.

Through July and August, II It IL q
hot summer. play varies a great deal,
as we must then reckon with hard,
fast fairways and lightning greens.
The player that can pitch beautifully
to the green in June will have his
troubles making the ball hold in the
hot months.
Through the fairways we are com
PEELED to use different shot with our
irons. September finds conditions
changing again. Through October and
November golf is quite a problem for
the player who obtained good scores
back In July or August.
The winter months add more variety
to the game and call for still a greater
assortment of shots. It makes little
difference whether one goes to the
Southland or California or whether he
stays home and plays his golf over
frozen ground.
California Best.
OF the three, California golf is more
normal and resembles our summer
months more closely. Playing over
frozen ground in the cold weather
States one cannot afford to take
chances of breaking clubs, SO he must
learn to take the ball clearly with his
irons or his brassie. AS there is no
turf to take In making the mashie
pitch to the green, this shot becomes a
problem also. But all of this is good
for the golfer. because he is learning
something more about shot-making.
He must take the ball clean.
II one can play well over frozen
ground, he can take q little golfing
journey to the South and pick up
right where he left off in the North
land. The Bermuda fairways are
slightly different from the Northern
fairways. Bermuda grass is the only
thing that will grow on a sandy soil
in the hot weather.
The type Of shot required for these
fairways Is something akin to the
play on a hard surface as frozen
ground. The ball must be hit first
otherwise the shot Is ruined. The
club will stick in the sand or get
tangled in the many long roots Of
the grass and naturally the stroke
will not turn out as planned.
Pros are accustomed to taking turf
with nearly every iron shot. 1t Is
not 30 much a habit as 1t is a necessity
