The passing year has yielded q.
great number of sensational track
and field performances and many
new performers. both here and
abroad. in spite Of the belief that
the year which lies midway between
two Olympics is usually devoid OF
interesting athletic doings. Indoors
and outdoors, Americas crack ath-

Try always for a position at

should be leading towards the

left shoulder down first, and
this is bad.

Won win find that little dip-in of
the clubhead toward the body with
the wrists at the back very helpful
AS the clubhead goes back be sure
not to let the rest of you get more
ahead of the vertical line. There is
such a thing as going too far
straight back. for then you are apt.
to go off your balance.

first met, by the clubhead. ! let
my hands go out to the left arm

Should you get out of rhythm.
