Building Up Your Game
BY JAMES nj. BARNES
Former Open Golf Champion of the L. s.
Copyright, 1922. New York Tribune-Inc.)

Many of them will admit that they
are helpless here and so give up, eX-
pecting to top the ball.
There is no reason why this stroke
can't be learned. For there are so
many occasions when it must be
played that it makes a big difference
in ones score to get right upon the
matter to have at least a fair amount
of confidence in pulling it off.
There is no stroke that can be
played with any half-hearted effort.
Confidence usually means hitting thru
in a determined way. and this is al
ways an essential thing.
It is a good idea in this stroke to
hold both elbows fairly close in and
then to check the swing with the ell
bows. by which mean to use the ell
bows to keen e S ing compact and
not too wide.
In the down-slope swing the main
thing to work on is the matter of
balance. 1t is the hardest of all shots
to get ones balance firmly planted.
To get this balance the support
must come mainly from the left knee.
This knee, in a way, must do double
duty.
Don't duck too much with the right
shoulder. There is always tendency
in the direction of this fault.
Again it is always better to use
simple, well-controlIed swing and not
go out after distance. Never try to
kill the ball under these conditions.
If you do you are sure to lose your
balance completely and make a smear
of il.
The wrists should be used more
than normally on this shot, where it
is much after the matter of taking
a flick at the ball.
Another matter to take into con-
sideration is that of turning out the
club head slightly. This will help to
get the ball up more quickly, where
the club head turned in will lead to a
smothering effort.
So keep in mind these important
details for the down-hin try:
1. Feet further apart
2. Brace with the left leg.
5. Keep weight well back while hit
ting.
4. Use upright swing.
> Use shorter grip
s. Stand closer to the ball
z Use more Iofted clubs.
s. Hit thru with flick.
8 Don't duck right shoulder.
10. Play ball midway between feet.

Only Few Details, Time and
Place To Be Announced.

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. S0.-The stage
is set and both elevens of the Univer-
sity of Southern California and Penn
State are anxiously awaiting the kick

over the easterners- In some quarters
it was learned that odds of 10 to had
been offered on U. S. c.

PLAYING THE DowNHILI LIE

In playing the down-hill lie the first
thing to remember is that you brace
with the left leg instead of the right.
as you must do in playing an up-slope
shot.
The left leg does the bracing, to
keep you from falling forward, one OF
the most common faults in the down
hill or down-slope effort.
The feet are further apart The ball
should be about midway between the
feet, with an open stance.
Having taken this position, with the
left leg held firmly, the next thing to
take up is to keep the weight, well
back in the act of hitting the ball.
In the uphill shot the weight goes
forward, but it must be held we'll in
check for the opposite slope. If the
weight isn't held back one is almost
sure to fall in toward the ball
The Swing.
Playing down hill it is necessary to
use an upright swing. This again is
almost opposite to the swing used for
the up-slope, where it IS better to fol-
low the angle of the ground.
There is always a tendency to slice
in playing down hill. so it is just as
well to play for the left of the green.
Three important details to remem-
ber are to shorten the swing, stand
closer to the ball and use more lofted
clubs.
As the down-slope shot is one of the
hardest in golf. by shortening the grip
one gets better control of the stroke.
1t is big mistake in this stroke TO
carry the hands out ahead of the club.
Always let the club head get there
first If the hands get in ahead of the
club it is much harder to get the ball
up
The main thing in the down-hill try
is, of course, to get the ball up quick
ly, as there is a decided tendency to
top. So hit thru and lift the club
head as it passes under the ball This
is one of the few places in golf-al-
most the only one-where I advocate
attempting to lifs the ball. For. as a
rule. any attempt to lift the ball is
sure to lead to trouble. but the down
slOper is often an extreme case
The Mental Attitude.
The mental attitude of the golfer
often plays a big part in this stroke
For when the average player comes to
a decided down-hill lie he surrenders
at once
