Throughout the golf swing, back
with the club and clear down to the
point where the ball has been sent on
its way with the clubhead well through
the ball, your hands must lead the
clubhead. Even at the turning point
from the top, where the down move
ment of the club is initiated in the
hips, the hands maintain their leading
influence over the club.
You have been told often that you
must feel the weight of the clubhead
in the fingers. Translated, this means
that your hands lead the clubhead, be-
cause the instant the hands cease to
lead it, the clubhead is gone-lost to
your sense Of touch.
How the hands lead can best be I'M
derstood if you will grasp the differ
ence between hand action in the back
swing and wrist action. In Figure 1,
we see a golfer who has whipped his
club back and up with guick-acting
left wrist motion. You can see on
golf courses every day the fellow
have pictured here. Note in the dotted
line how his clubhead, because of the
quickjbreaking left wrist, has whipped
to the top away ahead of his body
His body is still facing the ball and, in
this position, his club should be no

CALLAHAN WILL CO
EAST AFTER TITLE

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-P)-
Eastern supremacy in professional
pugilism, already weakened to con-
siderable degree by the recent title
triumphs of Fidel La Barba in the
flyweight division and Tod Morgan
in the junior lightweight class, is
soon to be subjected to a new Cali
fornia challenge from the padded
knuckles Of "Musby" Callahan.
The fast-stepping Pacific Coast
lightweight, who is expected here cary
in February, has been preceded by
so many favorable reports OF ms
skill that Promoter "Tex" Richard IL
prepared to give him championship
opportunity against the new htle,,
holder. Rocky Kansas. He announced
yesterday that Kansas already mas
agreed to a title match. and. If Gaia
hans tour east brings him further
fistic triumphs, he stands an excellent
chance to meet the champion.

more than half way up, as shown in
the shadow-graph of the club lined
into his back swing.
Breaking the club quickly away
from the ball with the left wrist pro
notes an action Of the clubhead away
from the ball that is too fast for the
beginning of the back swing. Observe
Figure ., which shows how the club
head is broken back quickly with the
left wrist. Figure 3 is a tracing oil
Figure 2 except that the clubhead, in
Figure 3, is shown in its correct posi-
ton for this segment of the back
swing.
The instant the left wrist breaks the
clubhead back quickly from the ball
in the back swing, TIE hands cease te
lead-your wrist and forearm are then
doing the leading. The wrist. and
forearm muscles are not sensitive
eiough to feel the weight Of the club
head. Your hand muscles are. Sup
nose you were to throw stone. Would
wou' draw the stone back with a quicl
breaking back of your right wrist
Certainly not. The same principle ap
plies with the golf club. Let thu
hands lead it slowly away from tbs
ball-then keep the clubhead in youl
hands all the way.

ALABAMA TEAM
TESTS GAME
Z IN SOUTH
By HARRY CRAYSON
Universal Service Staff Correspondent

PASADENA, Dec. 26.-"The New
Years Day game with Washington
will give me chance to find out
for myself, and to prove to the foot
ball world just how good Alabama
and Southern football is"
So drawled Wallace Wade, the
Tennessee tactician, who in three
seasons has placed the Crimson
Tide, at the top of the Dixie heap,
as he watched his good looking team
run through formations in the Rose
Bowl today.
Christmas Day brought more than
Santa Claus to the Alabamans, who
toiled under a very warm sun fol
an hour and half. It is Wade's
contention that his athletes must get
used to conditions here. With time
so short, he couldn't see why he
should waste day. -
GAME IN SOUTH BETTER.
Wade, disciple of Edward n
Robinson, who resigned only yester'
day after 20 years at Brown Univer.
sity, asserts that Southern football
has advanced tremendously since he
reported in Tuscaloosa three years
ago.
His squad lost to Syracuse and
Florida the first year, and to Centre
College last season, but marched
through the campaign this fall with
a clear and remarkable record.
The Alabamans beat Georgia Tech
the best team on their schedule, FOL
the third consecutive year. Z to o.
Georgia Tech trimmed Penn State
in Hugo Bezdek's own back yard,
and Tulane, rated second to Alabama
in Dixieland, turned back Northwest
ern in the latter squads neighbor'
hood. ..
Those two games indicate to Wade
that Alabama is on par with the
leading Eastern and Middle Western
outfits. although be admits that Dart
mouth was probably stronger.
TAKING IN SIGHTS.
/ Alabama worked out this morning
to permit the boys TO see the Bakers
field Covina State High School cham
pionship game at the Los Angeles
Coliseum in the afternoon. The
beaches are to be taken in Sunday
Work will be done Monday morning,
with a visit to Hollywood moving
picture studios scheduled for the af'
ternoon, and theater party in the
evening.
Work and more work, and work
alone is booked for the remaining

GRANGE WHOLE.
SHOW IN HIS
TEAM S WIN
Famous Redhead Back in
Form, Florida Fans
Pleased.
BY Universal service.

. MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 26.-Few. who
witnessed the game between the Chi
cago Bears and Tim Galatians Coral
Gables team here yesterday are ready
to dispute the outstanding ability of
Red" Grange az a football player.
1t was the famous redhead who was
almost wholly responsible for his
teams 7-to-0 victory over the local
aggregation.
On the offensive, the Coral Gables
team virtually carried the Bears off
their feet, the repeated line plungins
of Latone, Mcbride and Flanagan
proving too much, it seemed, for the
visitors defense. Approaching the
goal lines, however, the Coral Gables
team found themselves confronting
a different proposition. When
score appeared imminent the Bears
presented an impregnable defense.
Three times in the game the team
under Tim Callahan. former Yale
captain and center, carried the ball
within the five-yard line only to lose
it on downs.
RED IN BEST FORM.
The Bears offense was Red"
Grange. The famous Wheaton ice
man paved the way for the only and
deciding score in the second period
when he skirted right end for 30
yards, bringing the ball to the Gables
25-yard line. A forward pass, Sterna-
man to Goebel, gained fifteen and
another pass BY Sternaman put the
pigskin on the two-yard line. From
here Grange went over the line.
Stemaman added the extra point on
a dropkick.
Grange played the entire first half,
rested in the third period, Earl Brit
ron replacing him, and then returned
to his post in the final quarter. 1t
was in the final period that Grange
brought the crowd TO its feet with
54-yard dash through the center
of the Coral Gables line, being stop
ped by Red" Barron, former Georgia
Tech star, on the 30-yard line. 1t
was what the fans had paid to see
and when the game ended few min
utes later great crowd swarmed
around the famous "No. IL" as he
made a dash for the clubhouse. When
the final whistle blew Red" was be-
ing tackled after running right end
for ten yards.
CARRIED NINE TIMES.
Grange was given the ball on nine
occasions. Twice he was thrown for
eight-yard losses, once poor pass
from center being the cause. He was
stopped twice for no gain at center
and, in scoring the lone touchdown
of the game, he gained two yards
at this point of the line. Twice he
got loose for long runs and once he
gained five yards on an off-tackle
play.
Hapgood Smith of Mania, ref~ee,
was seriously injured when several
players fell on him in the fourth
period. Smith dove under heap Of
players after tumble and the crush
ing weight of extra players who piled
up brought about twisted leg and
back. He had to be carried from the
field and Horse" Edwards, former
Notre Dame star, finished the game
as referee.
