II the feet are well apart there is
less chance of swaying and the temp
tation to hit too soon-that is, to get
the body into the shot before the
to its proper place-are minlmized.
Three Types of Stances.
Every one should know by little
practice when the stance feels COM
Portable. Most golfers are inclined.
however, to put the feet a trtfie too
close together. Try to remember this
the next time you address the ball. i
would suggest that a sure cure for
slicing would be to spread the feet
more than usual, as we all know slfc-
ing Is caused by pulling the hands in
instead Of letting them go out after
the ball.
There are three distinct types of
stances. II golfers are interested in
my own stance I will explain 1t In
detail. :.
apart and with the left drawn back
about three inches from the line of
flight. This Is what is known as the
open stance and Is used by a great
many well known players. Hutchi-
son, Vardon, Barnes. Mitchell, Sara
all of US differ a little in the distance
the left foot is placed from the line
of fight.
Duncan and Chick Evans stand with
their feet ON a line in what we call
the square stance. Duncan Is emphatic
in saying that this is the best and
only way to hit a golf ball. Evans has
found it satisfactory. Many other
good golfers use this stance.
Ouimet Has Variation.
Francis Ouimet differs from most
we'll known players. He draws the
right foot back an inch or two from
the line just as draw the left back.
This is what we might term the
closed stance from want OF q better
word. Nearly all good players use
this stance when they wish to hook
the ball, as 1t Is easier to send the
clubhead into the ball from this
position.
In all three stances the width be-
tween the feet Is just the same.
If one made q chart Of the feet
and the position of the club on the
ground, II would show that the ball
is in practically the same position
In relation to the toes. The ball
and the two feet would form almost
a triangle. At least, the distance
from each toe to the ball would be
the same.
When Ouimet takes his stance the
ball appears TO be teed almost op-
posite the right heel. while in my
own case the ball is about opposite
the left heel. With Duncan and
Evans the ball Is about In the center.
Must Not Rise ON Toes.

YALE WILL HAVE GOLF
LINKS SECOND TO NONE

While details of the disposition Of
the 500 acres of woodland recently
purchased for Yale University have
not been decided. It is certain that
part Of the tract will be devoted to
the construction OF one Of the largest
golf courses owned by any college In
the world.
The land is the so-called John Mil
ton Greist property, and is the sec
ond largest forest preserve in Con-
necticut. 1t was purchased by Greist
twenty years ago, and has since been
surrounded with an iron fence eight
feet high. while large numbers of
deer, elk and other wild game have
been herded and bred in the pre-
serves.
In addition. the tract has been a
breeding place and refuge for birds.
where they have been allowed to nest
unmolested.
GreiSt, an extensive manufacturer
of sewing machines in Westville. died
several years ago, and since then the
pens of wild game have been disposed
of, while the tract has remained de-
voted to forest growth uncut by paths
or roads. A few artificial lakes which
Greist constructed have been devel-
oped, but otherwise the land remains
in it's primitive condition.
Half a century ago Donald G.
Mitchell Uke MarveD called it the
most picturesque spot in southern
Connecticut. He purchased part OF 1t
and built the suburban place he
named MY Farm at Edgewood."
There he wrote Dream Life" and
"Reveries of q Bachelor" Greist
erected a superb mansion adjacent to
Edgewood, fringing the 500-acre tract
which Yale has Just purchased. Greist
purchased from Mitchell some of the
outskirts Of the original Edgewood.
