The selection of Lawrence Harsh

school the time that Harshbargeris
loyalty to Topeka high school caused
him TO miss his Thanksgiving day
dinner with his mother, who was then
living in western Kansas
1t was in 1916 and the team had

the game, he happened to meet a

Building Up Your Game

on this stroke falling back as he
swings and of course spelling the shot
You must stand to it and see that
the head doesn't sway back with the
swing. Stay firmly on your feet and
hit mostly with the arms. This is q
stroke where the arms and knees are
more important than anything else.
Dig that right foot into the ground
and be sure you are firmly fixed be-
fore starting your back swing.
In case you are standing above your
ball grip nearer the end of the club.
1t is best to use an iron here for the
gamble with wood is too great to be
taken.
In case you are standing below your
ball, take a shorter grip on the club
and swing with your arms, letting the
follow thru take its own course
1t isn't necessary to pivot as much
in these cases as one would upon nor
NAL ground.
With the Irons.
In using an iron club on an up
slope lie. it is better to play the ball
nearer the right foot.
In other words you stand more IN
front of the ball than back of it. The
loft of the club plus the rising angle
quickly at times, so it is best to use
a straight faced club for this shot
There should never be a thought of
lifting the ball. Let the iron club

without dragging or. jerking it up.
Don't forget, again when you are
taking your stance for this shot that
it is necessary to establish a firm
balance before you ever start your
swing-that you brace with the right
leg and that you take a shorter grip
on the club, stand a bit closer to the
ball and don't swing back too far.
The idea is to keep the swing as
compact as possible and to call more
upon the use If the arms and knees.
1t is also necessary not to get dis
couraged yer queer breaks of the
ground AS a matter of fact an up
slope lie frequently the easiest and
simplest of all shots to play, espe-
cially if your feet are on about the
same slope with the ball.
Don't hurry the stroke for this ef-
fort and remember again not to let
the head sway backward with the
swing or the body to fall away just as
you make the downward hit
The ball is sure to get up and you
will probably draw across it just a
trifle if you take the open stance, as
you should, for this stroke.
If you have only 120 or $50 yards
to go il is better to use straishter
faced club than a mashie and hold il
down nearer the bottom of the 1eath-
er, since with a mashie there is a ten
depcy to pop the ball UP in the air,
against the wind
The Topeka state journal., 1922-12-16

] You don't always get a chance tc
/ hit the ball upon level ground Some
times you are standing above the bal
and sometimes you are standing be
low it
There are times when you have a
downhill, hanging lie, and there are
other times when you have an uphill
or upslope shot to play.
There are certain necessary Things
that the golfer must do to play each
of these varieties and it is just as
well for him to consider each case
thoroly, because he is coming upon
them several times on every round.
VIII take up teNday the matter of
playing an upslope shot In the first
place this stroke is best played with
aturaI slice. If played correctly
there will be slice, SO it is best al
lowed for this by aiming slightly to
the left.
In taking your stance, unless play
ing against the wind, it is best to
stand back of the ball with an open
stance
The right leg must be held straight
and almost stiff. The right leg is now
the sole support of the swing since
to allow for the rising ground
So be sure the right leg braces the
swing.
There is more of a bend of the left
knee than PIVOT, bracing with the in
side of the left foot, but not coming
up too far upon the left toe.
Working for Control.
1t is important here to stand just
little closer to the ball and to take a
slightly shorter grip upon the club.
Also not to take a fun swing 1t is
important not to swing back too far.
The club head coming back follows
the angle of the ground, and after
hitting the ball the club still remains
close along the ground upon its fol-
low thru.
There is no feeling here of lifting
the ball up. for the natural upward
slope IS ali that way.
1t is best to use a fairly straight
faced club for this reason The ball
gets up more quickly than usual from
an upsiope shot than from any other
type.
In this shot don't keep the feet too
far apart
1t is extremely important here to be
sure of your balance. n Your stance is
an unnatural one that can hardly be
called comfortable.
But don't let it break up your con-
fidence. After all it is a golf shot that
must be played, all part of the game.
Balance at the top of the swing now
is doubly important So after bracing
with your right leg and the inside of
your left foot, be sure not to make the
common mistake of falling away from
the ball

HEALTH IN MARRIAGES
Trial in Chicago of Plan Before Kan

A modified system of physical ex-
animation for marriage applicants has
recently been launched at the license
bureau OF Chicago
a physician stationed at the bu-
reau to explain the purpose of eugen-

Within the first three days after
this plan was adopted 800 consented
to examination. Submission to the
test is not at present compulsory. The
examining physician stated that his
purpose is to collect statistics for pre-

examinations compulsory.
This physical examination for mar

in the children's code to be presented
to the Kansas state legislature to con-
