The Compact Swing
Coppr4aht. 1929 Mem York rr1h..s L.

i have heard lot at different
times" writes a golfer, "about the COM
pactness of swing and also about the
so-called crisp style of the profess
slonal. Just what is meant by COM
pactness and crispness? know. Of
course, in a general way. But how does
one get it ?"
l would like to say at the beginning
that compactncss and crispness don't
mean stitfness--or to stand fixed ike
a wooden plank.
| have seen many golfer irving to
be compact or crisp in his play when he
was merely being wooden. with no free
dom to his swing and no snap to his
blow
Compactness is just keeping yourself
together in the right place.
One of the most common faults T
have noticed in golf is this
The. player takes his stance, bends
over in about the right way and ad-
dresses the ball
Then, just as he starts his swing
IN Place OF starting it from the same
Position, he straightens up; if he
doesn't straighten up at the start he
will before the back swing is com
pleted.
This means that he is no longer in the
same compact position; he is no longer
down where he can hit the ball with
power; he has lifted his shoulders and
is now out of position to hit with any
force.
Keeping Down
1t IS mistake to stand too erect
over the ball Settle down in q
natural, comfortable way with the right
shoulder little lower than the left.
There should be a natural bend Of
both knees with just natural bend of
the body.
You are now in position to swing.
But don't raise your shoulders or
stralghten up as you start your swing
Let the left shoulder and knee turn in
with the body held in the same com
pact position, down where you can 60
after the ball
1t is remarkable how many golfers
raise their shoulders or lift their
bodies at the start of or during the
back swing.
A Help for Crispness
Crispness means hitting the ball
firmly. 1t doesn't mean swinging back
too far and then trying to check the
swing or ease up the swing on the
downward journey.
The good golfer swings back just the
right distance and then hits firmly
from that location
If he is playing for a 120-yard pitch
he doesn't swing back far enough to
hit the ball $50 yards-and then try t.,
hold in while hitting.
One of the best aids for a crisp blow

>HE other day heard the call of
quail in wooded ravinc-
not the bob white whistle Of the
summer, but the single note, clear
and limpid. In some parts of the
country the quail have been very
plentiful this season and the re-
suits of benefcent game laws agree
ably evident
Probably as long as there are hu-
mans and game birds the time never
will come when the different COM
munities will get the straight of
just which are quail, which part
ridges. which pheasants. OF course,
the men learned in lore of feathered
folk know a prairie chicken-pin-
mated grouse, they used to tell us
they were--from quail and from a
pheasant, but the terms are used
with an amazing amount of inter
changeablc recklessness or igno-
rance.
The gray squirrels of Central
Park alwsy seem largtr to me than
the gray squirrels of the Georgia
swamps, called cat squirrels, but of
that l am not sure. There's red fox
squirrel to be found in the cotton
woods and other trees of the river
bottoms, and in Georgia there's
fox squirrel appreciably bigger
still which comes with both red and
black coats, some with one, some
with the other. GRACCHrrS

Lacrosse Players
Beat LeI'i ggh to 2
British Collcgians Are Given
Severe Test by Bethlehem
Team on Slippery Field

BETHLEHEM. Pa, April 1.-The Ok
ford-Cambridge lacrosse team opened
It's American and Canadian tour here
this afternoon by defeating the Lehigh
University twelve by the score of Z
to 2. The game was played on a heavy
and slippery field which at times
marred the fast work of both clubs.
Although the score hardly indicates
It, the game was fast and closely
fought, with Lchigh usually carving
the attack. but the excellent condition
Of the Englishmen, together with their
better team work, proved effective at
opportune times.
Featuring for the visitors was tho
brilliant defense in which Victor Nor
icy, the native American and former
Johns Hopkins player. and Let's. the
goal keeper stood out prominently, tho
latter in particular, executed quite a
few sensational saves, while Morley
frequently turned the tide of Lchich
aggression.
The tourists style of play emphasized
the defense and time and again they
etfectually massed their players within
the vicinity of the goal. Usually more
men were retained for the defense than
the attack, while the style of the
Lehigh play was directly opposite.
The linc-llp:

should say that Chick Evans and
Bobby Jones have the most compact
swings Of any of the amateurs. they
keep their hands fairly low and their
arms are never caught flying away
from the body.
Among the professional. Walter
Hagen has one of the most compact
swings ever saw, but this also appliss
to George Duncan and Abe Mitchell,
and, of course, to Harry Vardon.
The Two Types
You usually see two types of golfers
among the average lot.
One type is as stiff and as rigid as a
Iamppost. You couldn't imagine his
rody turning without creaking.
The other type is too loose and too
flexible. His wrists give too much,
his arms fly too wide, he is inclined to
sway and there is no look of control
to his swing.
The first type has no snap. The
second may hit the ball mile but he
never knows just what the direction
will be.
The right sort of attitude is in be-
tween the two styles. 1t is firm, but
easy and natural; It isn't wabbly and
1T isn't wooden. 1t doesn't lift during
the swing or let the arms get away.
1t keeps the swing together in one
mass or part, where compactness will
lead to crispness.

New-York tribune., 1922-04-02

The two main foundations Of golf
improvement are simple enough to out
line in behalf Of the frenzied reader.
They are: 1, mental poise; 2, ease
Of body.
OF course there is the matter Of the
swing-of the fairly straight left arm
and the proper pivoting.
But we are speaking now Of founda-
tions-not of the complete structure.
Certainly If one lacks mental poise
and ease OF body, even correct swing
will lose little time in going astray.
We know of certain golfer who has
one of the finest swings in the game.
But he is also nervous and high
strung and so on many occasions is in
clined to lack Of mental poise and to
lack OF the necessary ease.
Just what Is mental poise?
1t is first Of all a serenity of mind
that helps lead to concentration Of the
right sort.
This serenity of mind can never
come If one comes to the first tee
worrying over outside troubles that re-
fuse to leave his haunted brain.
1t can come only when one has q firm
grip upon his faculties and can make
his mind or brain direct his BODY in
an even, unhurried fashion.
An Example
Last summer at Columbia President
Harding commented upon the fine poise
which Jim Barnes used through that
championship.
What did that poise consist of?
In the first place Barnes stated that
he never allowed himself to get even
slightly ruffled over missed stroke.
In the wake Of a mistake there was
no fare Of temper.
In the second place Barnes thought
Of nothing else but the stroke before
him.
This was always one of the ereat
features of Jerry Travers's play--to
take care Of each shot in turn, forget
ting past mistakes, unmindful of any
future dreams.
Ease of Body
Ease of body is inclined to follow
mental serenity. If one is keyed up too
faulty in mental way, it is probable
that he will also be stiff and rigid
physically. 80 ~
Ease of body doesn't mean looseness

The Giants leading opponents should be Cardinals,
Pirates and Braves.
The Yanks will encounter greater opposition from
Cleveland, Washington and st. Louis. These clubs are
all potential pennant winners long they to
hustle and long they pick up their share of the
breaks. Luck is bigger factor than the copybook
maxinls have us believe. And that goes for any
competition you think Of.
Beyond Attack
There is at least one sport beyond all attack. 1t
has all the elements Of wonderful exercise hard clean
training and it's share of fun.
Yet there is outside competitive angle only short
notices in the public prints with little attendant ex-
element.
We refer to spring football practice.
Why them should intercollegiate contests be played
encouraged?
Mainly for the that if there were no inter-
collegiate there would be no spring football
practice.
1t happens to be the autumn lure that beckons out
the clan in March, April and May.
1t is all very we'll to do thing just for the fun of
doing it, But for the average human there happens
to be about ten times much fun where there is
competitive twist there in merely taking exercise
AS Usual
Dear Sir: Here is one angle of the college football
situation that strikes as humorous:
When the talk Of reform came up, those colleges
and universities that already held high standards
the first to in for socaled reform changes Whereas
those who needed to be reformed and who without any
doubt were spotty paid attention to the movement
We all know that four five of the stronger teams of
last fall were of low standards when it comes to a
matter of athletic purity.
Yet these are planning to go ahead as they have
always gone getting all the good football players they
get without being any too particular about it. At
least haven't heard Of any recent reform actions on
the part of several that need lot Of cleaning up
