The golfer IL basically interested

having his scores come closer and
closer to par as the years roll by.
This is fundamental because golf
IL q participant sport-tIat il, the

Because Of this we find now
the idea Of having q golf teacher

must have shown some ability to
successfully teach the game 60

and indifferent. He must, In
short, be . Chester Horton.
Teaching golf requires a very
special personality-and more. The
instructor, to be successful, must
not only have q world of patience,
but he must know how to teach
what the pupil can do, not what
the professional himself can do.
That has been the one great weak.
ness Of golf instruction.
The average 'businassman-golfer
cannot accomplish the full upright
swing. Often he cannot even ac-
complish a medium upright swing.
II he cannot do these things, It
is a waste of time and effort for
pro to try to teach MIN golf as

must recognize the pupils limtta.

had no business in golf at all.

ness man golfer viii do far better
with q flat swing, or the best
modification Of II that he can get.
It win always be an advantage
to a pro to win his championships
of course, but the day is already
here, I think when golf clubs will
cease to be very much interested
in the championships their pro
has won. In this new day they
are more likely to ask: what do
you know about the psychology of
teaching?"
Golf needs teachers more than it
needs pros right now. The club
that employs an expert golf teacher
will be moving in the right direc-
ton for its members and it makes
no difference whether this teacher
can play eighteen holes In less
than 1880 long as he can teach.

HILL TOPS n 0 I
IMPRESSIVE
TEAM
Ragged Line Work and Fail.
ure - Running Game
oarkens Hopes
By ROSS L. CONKLN.

Georgetown. ex.king Of the local
realm Of football, seems destined
this year to maintain the lex" in
its customary place before the
king"
The Hilltop warriors went into
their first game Saturday an un.
known quantity. and even though
they emerged with victory, their
stock on the local market did not
rise in due proportion and that
was because, in victory. the team
was far from being impressive.
King College, from Bristol, Tenn,
with student body Of 100, sent a
football team here which for the
most part was able to filter through
Georgetown's forward line and
smear plays before they were
fairly under way.
That, for Georgetown is some,
thing startling; stalwart line has
been. the order at that institution
for many years.
The Georgetown play was any.
thing but smooth. The linemen
enlarged as seven individuals, and
the backfield was not noted for its
cohesiveness.
But, with it all, the Georgetown
students found something to which
to rejoice. They found that Coach
Lou Little had four stars, about
whom he could. with little time,
develop a fine team.
Sheehan, captain Of the team, and
Murtaugh form two excellent tackles.
The work Of that doughty pair shone
against King College. Blessed
with beef, strength, and foot
ball sense they make an admirable
pair around which Little can mould
q line.
In the back-field, Hegarty and
Metzger were the best that the Blue
and Gray had to offer. eastman,
a sub quarterback, later went into
the game and sparkled with his
end Of an overhead game.
But for en- adeptness at forward
passing, Georgetown probably would
not have won against King College
The Georgetown boys could not
gain consistently through the line
or around the ends, but they could,
whenever necessary, work some fast
accurate. long passes.
They say out at the Hilltop thai
Georgetown Is well pleased with
what Coach Young has accomplish.
ed. They have more hopes for
him than the proverbial newlywed
has for roseate future Of har4
mony. Certain 1t is that he didn't
have anything left over from last
year on which he could build
fortress.
Maybe it was that the coach didn't
want to show his wares. Maybe
he was holding his men back, await
ing another time and another team.
That has been before.
Georgetown's glories on the foot.
ball field in the past have been such
that none but great teams will ever
suffice for the school. They have
had the best. and they want only
the best. Here's hoping Coach
Young and Mike Palm can give 1t
to them.

FOOTBALL USED IN TIED

BETHLEHEM. Pa, Oct. 1S.-Le.
high today is the proud possessor
Of football that was used in the
game with Princeton yesterday and

teams with 20 to o" on it and
placed in Lehigh's trophy room.
The last play Of the game found
the ball in Lehigh's possession.
Captain Poss Greer, Of Lehigh,
promptly went to the Princeton
field house and presented the ball
to Captain Stout, but the latter as
promptly and with genuine good
feeling prevailed on Captain Greer
to retain the historic piece Of
leather.
1t was the first time in years
that Lehigh and Princeton had met
on the gridiron and it IL likely that
If a game is arranged for next
year 1t will be later in the season.
Lehigh came. out of the struggle
in splendid shape, with no serious
injuries, and with a day or two
of rest before work is started for
the Dickinson game the men will
all be in good shape.

Affair

It IL more than probable that it
will be at least four years hence

national match for the. Walker Cup
between golfers Of Great Britain
and America will be held again.
The United States Golf Association.
which has been handling the CON.
test since its inception in 1929, has.
according to rurnor, practically de.
cided that in view Of the lack OF
interest and the expense involved It
would be more advisable to make
1t quadrennial proposition than an
annual affair
During the national amateur
championship at PHILADELPHIA a
member Of the U. s. G. A. execu.
tive committee confided that a
biennial lapse was being considered
for the Walker Cup, but evidently
this was overruled in favor Of d
four-year wait. One thing Is GER
tain. and that Is that when this
coveted trophy is again played for
the American team will go to Great
Britain, even though the original
bylaws call for the challenging
team to visit.
