point to make is to be sure YOU have
a comfortable stance, and that your
wrists and body are at least normal.
The left hand will have a firm grip
on the club, but not one of those
crushing grips. The right hand will
grip even easier.
Have no feeling of trying too hard
of gripping too tightly, of being too
set.
on the back swing see that the left
arm is straight. but not rigid See
that the right elbow isn't carried too
high. Keep it comfortably in by the
body.
Don't overswing. letting the club
take its normal distance back.
With the head used as an anchor.
and the body relaxed and easy, don't
be in too big a hurry to kill the ball.
On the back swing let the left knee
turn in>toward the ball. with the
weight more on the right foot and the
body turning in a natural way against.
just as if you were going to throw a
baseball.
on the down swing don't be in too
big a hurry to hit. The left hand is
holding the club firmly and the right
is now ready to take up its work. Here
again the body must turn into the shot
to let the hands and arms go well
thru. On this down swing there
should be a feeling of the club head
gathering increased speed, with the
right hand now taking over most of
the work.
At the moment of impact. but not
too soon, the right hand flicks the club
head into the ball. with the weight up
on the left foot to brace for the shock
If the timing has been right the
club head will still be picking up
speed as it goes on thru the ball, and
will not be fading out New inches
beyond it.
Pulling away just when striking will
shorten any drive Lunging at the
ball will do the same.
All this time you are not conscious
of any effort to overdo the thing. if
you are going about it in the right
way A few fine players may press
and often get away with It. But it is
not the right method for getting dis
lance, as far as the average PLAYER is
concerned He dan't afford 70 try too
hard, for if he does the body is almost
sure to cut in ahead of the arms and
then he is merely pulling against him

Distance comes from leverage under
control, and there can be no whip or
snap or leverage ira physical way if
ones mental attitude is overea ger Or
overdetermined. Have you ever no.
ticed how much further you frequently
got Wnen you were merely trying to
play the bail safe and were not after
any great distance? This is because
your effort is natural and not strained
and that means the club head is al
lowed to go sweeping on thru with
the right snap

THE LACK OF DISTANCE

Some time ago certain golfer came
ito me with this statement, which may
interest about nine-tenths of those
playing the game:
II know" he said that am as
strong as the average man. My hands
and wrists are strong enough, so why
Is it that 1 can't get distance in this
game? The harder 1 swing, the
worse off seem to be-" In the tlrst
place, he showed me his main error IN
this last statement
IRVING too hard to get distance Is
the surest way not to get it. For dis
lance comes from a -elaxed body,
where the wrists are flexible enough
to snap into the ball, and when the
average golfer is over-trying his body
is almost sure to be stiff ang rigid,
with his wrists in the same fix
When the average golfer decides he
is going to knock the ball a mile, you
can see almost the same things hap
pen every time He first grips the
club tightly with both hands In MS
determination to hit hard.
This tight grip means stiff wrists
without any leverage. Then you can
see his body stiffen. with his legs set
and fixed, as he gets ready to swing.
He is doing every thing that he
shouldn't do. He isn't planning to get
distance, as he thinks he is, but he
is all set not to get it.
Main Faults
With the legs and Dody rlgIu unoer
extra pressure, there is no chance now
for the>4eft knee and body to turn on
the back swing
There is no chance to pivot in the
right way, for this comes only from a
relaxed position
This lack of turning means lack OF
balance at the top of swing. and it
also means that the head is almost
sure to move
With the wrists stiff and rigid there
is no way then to have the club head
thrown at the ball. In place of hav-
ing the club head thrown out after the
ball, it is pushed or carried out, too
much like a mashie shot.
If the body doesn't turn with the
swing, it is usually pulled away or
Strengthened up.
Distance comes from flexibiiity and
ease. not so much from stiffness and
effort.
Naturally one has to hit hard
enough to get there. but this hit must
be a free, natural effort that carries
the club sailing on thru.
And if you are thinking too much
about distance, you are almost sure to
hit too soon in your eagerness or anx-
iety to Swipe away. You can't wait
long enough for the moment of i'm
pact If you are oyeranxfous to knock
the cover off.
Advice To Be Followed.

STERLING WINS FROM OTTAWA
Baptists Lose Fifth Game of the
Season, Is to ,.

Ottawa, Kan, Nov. 11.-Ottawa lost
its fifth game of the football season
and Sterling won its second here Fri
day afternoon, when the Presbyterians
from the little central Kansas town
counted 8 points while the best the
BaptistS could 90 was 8.
A 25-yard run by Sterling netted the
first counter in the first quarter, and
a blocked punt gave the Presbyterians
their second counter The second one
came in the third period. The first
goal was kicked.
Ottawa scored its field goal in the
third period.
One of the things which is to blame
for the poor showing made by the
Ottawans is the fact that four men of
the regular squad were out with low
grades OIds played the best game
for Ottawa, in the backGeld. while
Smith performed nicely in the line.
Slower was the best performer for
Sterling, he being able to make large
gains thru the line.

Moore is on his way to Hawaii to
paint sthe island scenery, which, &C

He was given a reception in Kirwin,
by Miss Pearl Warner, his fiancee, to
which members of several clubs in
Kirwin and a number of Miss War
ner's friends in Kirwin and Phillips
burg were invited. Moore brought
with him several of his paintings, and
these were exhibited at the time.
A delightful musical program was
rendered, after which the artist gave
an interesting and instructive talk on
art. In addition to the paintings Moore
had with him some advance color
