Some time ago, in the course of n
series of lessons, ] began to make
closer study of main faults in golf as
they affected my pupils.
Z watched various types for several
weeks, until at last 1 began to pick
up some curious information which I
had not thought about before.
For example, there was one pupil
who seemed to have almost every
fault that a golf swing can carry.
His footwork was poor, his grip was
all wrong. his swing was terrible.
Yet every now and then, at the last
moment, he had a way of swapping
the club head and getting fair ball
There was still another pupil who,
in most ways was almost a model
His stance was good. his grip was
correct and his swing in the main
was almost perfect
But just as he came into the ball he
had a way of ducking in his right hip
and then getting his hands in front of
of the club head.
Every shot lie played was a bad
slice. That one small fault was just
as bad, so far as results were con-
cerned, as the two dozen faults be-
longing to the other man.
His lone fault was easier to correct,
of course, but uncorrecteds he might
just as well have done everything
wrong.
Serious Faults.
That is one reason why good golf is
so hard to learn. One small fault may
frequently cause just as much trouble
as ten bad ones.
A pupil may correct ten leading
faults and still play badly, because he
Is still doing one essential thing in the
wrong way.
He may, for example, be doing
everything correctly until. just as the
club head gets to the ball, he decides
to look up, or tilt the head. So all
the good is spoiled then and there.
There re faults within faults in
golf. You might say that the slice is
one of the greatest faults of buffers,
yet there are numerous faults that will
cause slice.
Suppose we start with back-swing
faults. The firct main trouble here Is
that SO many golfers lift the club up
with the right hand instead of swing
ing it back with the left.
Then there is the fault of swaying.
which comes because the body in not
supported enough with the right leg.
The right leg should be straight. but
not rigidly stiff.
Another ba, fault on the down
swing is stopping at the ball and draw
ing the left elbow around the body.
This will always causN a bad slice.
The Wrecker.
After stu, ying closely long line of
pupils I begin to believe the single.
most serious fault in golf is lack of
balance at the top of the swing.
I should say that when eight golfers
out of ten come to the top of the swing
they are in no position to apply power
to the ball. and down in their hearts
they know it.
The chances are they have not
pivoted properly. In place of letting

the Bates team was expected to give
good account of itself. This makes
two tied games the Southwestern team
has chalked up in it's record this sea-
son. 1t tied its old rival, Paramount. at
Wichita, last week.
Kansas Wesleyan university made
mighty good showing against the
Paramount eleven Friday, keeping the
Wichitans from making a touchdown.
The best the Coach Lamar Hoover
men could do was kick a field goal,
making the final count to 0 for
the Hoover aggregation. Huey and
Phillip, half and quarter, were in the
middle of most of the plays for the
Salinans, and Klaver, Giggy and Mis-
ser played well for the visitors.
Bethany was due to win from Ster-
ling. The Swedes have been showing
a lot of class this year, and have won
from Paramount in the first game of
the season for the two schools. Beth

FOUGHT As Father DIED
Crowd Which Saw Gibbons Lose on
Foul Didn't Know of Telegram.
IBS the Associated Press.I


tBS the Associated PressJ
New York. Oct. 14.-They tell
stories about actors sometimes going
out on the stage after they have re-
ceived news of the death of a husband
or wife. reciting their regular lines
and making indifferent folk feel happy
and laugh. Probably those stories are
true.
They must be true. Any one of the
crowd that filled Madison Square
garden last night and saw Tommy
Gibbons, of st. Paul, lose on a foul to
Billy Miske, his fellow townsman, in
the tenth round OF their bout that was
to go fifteen rounds, probably will be-
lieve so today. They looked upon the
sort of courage a fighting man IS
rarely called upon to show, but Few
Of them knew it then.
Only a few of that bowling crowd
saw a uniformed messenger boy creep
up to Gibbons corner during the sew
enth round and cautiously getting MS
signature on the receipt first, slip a
yellow envelope into the hands OF
Eddie Kane, Gibbons manager. Glib
bons saw it, out of the corner OF his
eye as he slashed and slugged and ne
knew. :
When Tommy came to his corner at
the end of the seventh round ne sank
calmls on his stool and asked Kane
say?" countered the manager. his race
flushing. "Oh! all right" answered
Gibbons 'but 1 know"
The detailed account of the next
round shows that Gibbons 'rained
rights and lefts to the body and
slammed several teeth out of Miske 3
mouth" and that Gibbons rocked
Miske with rights and lefts to the
head" and that they were exchang-
ing when the bell rang"
The remainder of the details don't
matter much. 1t was more than mere
disappointment of losing a fight that
he had virtuallyfsalted away for keeps

left the ring. Kane showed the
crumpled telegram into the boxer

listed. battered fighter, tears streams
ing down his sweaty face. I know
what you mean"
But those who crowded the arena
and lined the aisle down which the
loser strobe did not know. They had
seen fighters lose on fouls before but
they had never seen one cry-even
when he had lost his fighting reputa-
ton. They didn't know about the
teIesram-had not seen the messenger

Building Up Your Game
BY JAMES M. BARNES
Former Open Golf Champion of the U. 6.
Copyright 1922, New York Tribune Inc)

the left knee dip in toward the ball
and the left shoulder come around
with the head firmly fixed in the same
place, they have leaned to the right,
have taken all their weight off the
left foot and have moved their heads
at least three to four inches.
This will break up any balance.
Or it may be they have bent the left
arm at the elbow as they lifted the
club up. so when they come to hit the
ball there is no guide left to hold the
| line. When the left elbow is badly
bent the hands are drawn in and it is
only an accident If they ever find the
right road back on the down swing.
Even if they do there is little power
left.
I found that many of my pupils be-
lieved it necessary to hold the body
absolutely rigid.
They had been warned against NOV
ing the body and against swaying, SO
to correct this bad habit they tried to
stand like posts.
The body should be relaxed nearly
all thru the swing. II it isn't, you
can never pivot in the right way.
If you start to throw a baseball you
don't try to turn your body into solid
| rock.
You let it turn easily and simply
and naturally.
The same thing should be done in
|
the blow as you hit the ball.
One fault here is that often the
weight is thrown upon the left leg en-
tirely too soon. The weight is thrown
forward before the club head is
brought down. This Is an extremely
| common fault.
! Let the body turn with the swing
but don't shift the weight. for the club
will pull the body thru If you lei
both arms go well out after the ball
If you make a point of trying to
shift your weight you will get in
trouble.
Your weight will take car ). of Itself
II you swing on thru, provided your
balance is right.
One of the most common of al
faults, one that affects stars as well az
beginners, is hitting too soon.
This has wrecked more golf shots
| among all classes, including cham
| pions. than anything else in golf.
You must swing back evenly and
then at the top make up your mind
that the ball is still there and that il
isn't going to get up and walk away.
1t will stay there until you hit it
If you are in a hurry to hit it your
body is almost certain to start first and
SO bring your hands in front of the
swing.
If you take your time the club head
is pretty sure to get around in the
right way and your balance is pretty
sure to keep its place.
A firm, pliable body that /; allowed
to turn naturally gives you chance
to be balanced at the top. And if al
the top you have the feel of power
and then concentrate on hitting tht
ball without hurrying your hands you
i will at least have a long start along
the right road.

among these was the defeat of Hays

Pherson had failed to kick one of its
goals, making the score at the end OF
the first half, Is to IA for the Hays
team.
The lone touchdown by Baker over
