Building Up Your Game
BY JAMES M. BARNES
Former Open Golf Champion of the U. 6.
Copyright 1899, New York Tribune Inc)

the right wrist whips in just as if one
was throwing a baseball.
The left hand is also used at this
point after the manner of a back-hand
shot in tennis.
Only don't hurry the hands. Don't
give them the chance to get too far in
front Of the club head.
Let them start down in a natural
along, but not with any fast downward
jerk.
Speed is needed as the club head
hits the ball, not at the beginning of
the back swing or the start of the
down swing.
You are not .likeIy to be able to
carry speed to both sections of the
swing. So save it for the punch.
Good Practice.
1t is good winter practice to take up
Nhe club in the left hand and swing 1t
back in the way indicated above for
ten or fifteen minutes. This will help
to get one out of the habit of the right
hand lift later on.
Habit is big thing in golf. If you
get the habit of doing a certain thing
in a certain way it soon becomes hard
to change.
And this is a fine habit to make 4
natural part of the swing. Then you
won't have to remember it when you
step to the tee. 1t will be instructive
to swing that way, with the right hand
gripping lightly. waiting TO take up its
share of the work at the proper time.
If you are handling the club in the
right way most of the rough or call
lous spots will be in the Iert hand. not
in the right If your right hand gets
blistered you are working IN a wrong
direction.
There are many teachers who advo-
cate at times placing the right hand
we'll over or else we'll under the club
to help correct certain raults. I am
not great believer in this system. 1t
may help at times, but it can also
lead to other faults. The position of
the hands on the club Is not as i'm
portant, however, as the way they are
used in gripping and swinging. If the
right hand is too far under there is a
strong tendency to lift the club with
this hand in place of the left. If it
is too far over there is a loss of power.
You can tell pretty well by holding
the club what the most comfortable
and natural grip is.
If the hands and wrists are doing
their work in the right way, it is
much easier to keep the body out of
the swing. If they are not, the body
is pretty sure to try to come in and
help, usually at the wrong time. The
wrists getting locked on the down
swing thru hitting too soon is one of
the big causes of lifting the head or
looking up One rarely looks up if his
swing IS steady and well timed.

BAKER ia, BETHEL COLLEGE o.
Football Games at Baldwin Friday
DeXeIoped Into Track Meet.

Baldwin, Kan, Nov. 4.-Baker uni
versity staged a track meet on the
football >gridiron here Friday after
noon, when it met Bethel college of
Newton. The final whistle showed d
count of ia points piled up by the
Methodist eleven, which last week won
from Washburn, while the visitors
were unable to erase the goose egg.
Phree touchdownS were made in the
first period, the first one after ninety
seconds of play Baker made four in
the second, two in the third and seven
in the fourth. Gains by Baker were
on end runs and forward passes. The
scoring ability of the Bakeries was
only equaIed by the gameness of the
visitors, who fought the entire game
as hard as tho they had plenty of
chance to score and win the game.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 4.-Playing

In the second half of the game the

Gus injuries on the part of the visitors
were to blame in a large part for the
poor showing they made in the last
half. Crawford, playing at quarter

the overwhelming victory for the yell
lowjackets.
The Normal scored twice in the
third period and twice in the fourth.
Two of the touchdowIIS were the re-
suit of intercepted forward passes
from Washburn. and runs following
them for 35 yards thru a broken field
with plenty of interference. Carrie
made both of the runs. They were
spectacular.

Several surprises were sprung in
the Kansas conference games for this
week end.
Probably the greatest surprise of
the entire week was the win over Col

this season except a tie game with
Southwestern, but the Presbyterians
completely outplayed the Emporians.

RUSSIA AG|TATED
OVER j. S. POLICY
Communists and Non-com-
munists Wonder What Ac-
ton They May Expect.
BY LOUIS LEVINE.

os 10 Inc star ana Chicago DAILY News.
Copyright. 1922.
MOSCOW, Russia, January 19.-
What is to be the policy Of the United
States toward Russia? What does
the United States expect Of Russia
and what is it willing to do for Rus
sia?
These questions are agitating Rus
sian communists and communists
alike. Every step in the United States
is watched with interest by Russians:
administration, the appropriation OF
s20.0o0,o0o for grain for the Russian
famine sufferers-what is the mean
ing of it all, the Russians ask.
Generous Acts Appreciated.
Regardless of any statements to
the contrary, all Russians. even the
most rabid communists. appreciate
the generous acts of the American
people. The Impression that has gone
abroad to the effect that Russians are
lacking in gratitude is due to misun-
derstanding. The communist satlsnes
his love of show of sophistication oy
saying that in voting money TO ouy
wheat for starving Russians tne
American Congress thought as mucn
of the western farmer who has wheat
to sell as Of the hungry peasants
along the Volga.
Resides the communists have de-
yeloped a Complex" Of fear and sus-
picion. 1t is a sad psychology. One
can understand it only by watching
the people here in their isolated life.
The Russian intellectuals are not apt
at co-ordinating sentiments. The
majority of them are nervous anu IT.
ritated and worn and are incapable
Of subtlety and graciousness. Many
of them are bitter at the rest OF the
world because they believe that In
tervention was responsible in large
part for Russia's present plight.
Have Faith in America.
There is no doubt. however. of the
deep-seated faith Of Russians in the
American people. This is expressed
simply but touchingly in the numer-
Gus resolutions passed by local So
viets and by the letters that pour in
every day at the headquarters of the
American Relief Administration from
children who have been fed and kept
alive by American food. 1t is ex-
pressed also in numerous articles in
newspapers asking Americans for
more help Of various kinds.
Compared with all this the little
friction between the soviet govern
ment and the American Relief OFF,
cials is a very minor matter. That is
a result of the exercise of the same
mentality that asks, why does not
rich, benevolent, powerful and
friendly America come and pull US
out of the mire of poverty and disor-
ganization?"
