NNE of the underlying reasons

NNE of the underlying reasons
why SO many golf dubs
never bid farewell forever
to their old-time scores is because
they never understand how much
the left side Of the body must be de-
veloped in order to play good golf.
The game is said to have originated
in China. Then it jumped clear over
to Scotland. The rebound brought
it over here, and perhaps that's why
it got here left handed.
1t is an axiom among good players
that your game of golf Is as strong
as your wrists. In a way this is true,
but | think a better understanding of
it would accrue to golfers il they
realized that the score cards are in
proportion to the strength of the
entire left side. The wrist muscles
develop quickly for the reason that
they are more sensitive and thus more
responsive to training. The heavier
muscles of the left side are slower
10 yield.
This does not imply that left hand
ed players have an advantage in golf.
Their difficulties are the same, since
for them ii becomes a right-handed
game to be mastered.
The disadvantage of the average
golfer lies in the fact that he is right
handed. They are thus stronger in

The camper OF the rOll-in-the-
blanket school has just matriculated
at the popular college the movies.
He has seen a person with a pinch
of salt in one pocket and handful
of -four in another ride a pinto pony
over the plains. Comes time to CAMP
and the plainsman throws the saddle
on the ground to be used as pillow,
puts out the cat, rolls up in blanket,
and calls it q day.
1t is probably from visual accounts
of Western life in the movies and
verbal accounts in books and stories
that the popular misconception Of
camping out with meager equipment
has risen.
The experienced camper realizes
that the plainSman is simply campin G
in the most comfortable way COM
patabIe with the nature of his sur
roundingS. He can, in all comfort,
sleep in this manner; but he would
have a tough time among the mos
quitos of Maine or Minnesota, or the
damp ground of the forests of Mich
igan or Wisconsin There are no
sudden thunder storms on the plains:
no swarming insects. The grass is
dry and the ground warm.
True camp comfort lies, not in
conquering nature with a pinch of
salt and a soda biscuit, but in getting
along with her in her various moods.
Emerson Hough once said: "The
average campers idea of a good time
is to go out i'll the woods and see
how much he can torture himself"
Many persons forget that they are
supposed to be having fun on their
vacation. What is an extra trip
over the portage compared to sleep
ing warm at night? There is always
time on any trip to carry enough
equipment.

joying the woods is to see how much

Naming the player to top the list
Is easy. Walter Hagen, by his won

siton hands down, but has stamped
himself as one of the greatest golfers
of all time. Many citizens rate him
as the greatest the game ever pro-
duced. Hagen may not be as good
a shot maker as George Duncan, as
straight in his hitting as Sarazen, as
good mashie player as Hutchinson,
or as good on approaches as Barnes
but ne is Ine most consistent winner
the game has known for years.
Hagen is a consistent winner first,
because he is the best putter, day in
and day out, ever developed; sec
ondly, because of a wonderful tenn

He says:
While the rays. including that
well weaponed species, the sting-ray.
are related to the sharks in struc-
| ture, they diIer greatly in outer as
pect, as well as in their means of
attack and defense. Perhaps this diff
ference is less to be wondered at
when We learn that the sharks and
rays are considered to be the Oldest
fishes in existence, and probably the
stock whence all other fishes were
derived. In both sharks and rays
the skeleton remains cartilaginous
throughout life, instead of hardening
into bone. Other characteristic fea-
lures are the three valves of the
heart, the spiral valve in the intes-
| tine, the absence of an air bladder
and the large detached eggs. Most
of this group have the mouth on the
lower side.
The sting-ray is the most highly
specialized member of the group. Its
long, slender tail looks like a living
whip, but it. is a far more terrible
instrument than even a cat-o'-nine
tails ora Russian knout. 1t is not
only capable of inflicting terrible
wounds from the formidable spines,
sometimes as much as eight or nine
inches long, with which it is armed.
but the opinion is held that the in
jury is intensified by the action of
a poisonous secretion. These spines
are subject to wear and tear, but
from time to time the fish sheds them
and replaces them by new ones.

tropics, though some migrate into
temperate climates, one species rang

Paul ChiIderx of Baltimore tells the
following yarn:
Last Summer, while camping on
the Warrior River in southern Ala
bama, my wife and I were out in the
boat fishing with live minnows for
trout and bass. We were using bam-
boo poles, with heavy cork floats,
and as the fish were not striking We
decided to row downstream to a CAMP,
where supplies were sold.
I'VE set out our two poles on the
bank Of the river and returned in
about an hour TO the poles. Before
reaching the poles we noticed one
cork bobbing up and down, and a
closer examination revealed that two
water moccasinS, which abound in the
Warrior, were entwined around the
line. 1 at once pulled out one of the
poles, and found that one of these
snakes had swallowed minnow, hook
and about six inches of the line. He
was taken in the boat and later sent
to his happy hunting ground.
The other snake, which was evil
