WOULD PLANT FEET
IN new GOLF STYLE

LONDON, December 10 R.-Dr.
Robert Blakoe, psychologist, claims to
have developed a scientific method Of
hitting a golf ball without moving the
feet.
He thinks the modern style is all
wrong and has developed theory of
play that is revolutionary. Both feet
must be planted firmly on the ground
throughout a stroke, in his system.
All waist and trunk muscles are en-
ployed.
: Well known professionals are going
to take up his system, DR.. Blakoe as
serts. The orthodox method of driv-
ing, he says, causes overdevelopment
of some muscles, underdevelopment of
others and makes the golfer walk
with his left foot turned in.
Golfers have been content to play
the game in precisely the same way
as King James of Scotland, the in
vertor. played it," says DR.. Blakoe.
Golf balls and clubs have been inn
proved greatly, but the same old man.
ner of hitting the ball is employed" a"
He says If British golfers, boxers and
other athletes are to wrest supremacy
from America they must use scientific
methods.
Blakoe differs from George Duncan,
noted British professional and master
stvlist, who recently arrived in New
York. Duncan claims that in the last
analysis the soles of the feet hit a
golf ball. The movements of the feet
of outstanding golfers of today are
an important part of their swings.

his partner win the amateur-pro play
preliminary event to the $1,000 Mon

which starts tomorrow.
The 19-year- amateur, student
Of the University of Californa. South

Walker, national open champion in
1924. in the best ball. 18-hole matches,
and his SO, coupled with Walkers 8
effort. gave the team a net GA to fin
ish in first place.
It was stunning upset, as George
Won Elm, national amateur champion,
and Leo Diegel, professional at the
Nueva Granada Country Club, Los
Angeles, were favored to come
through. But the best the Won Elm
Diegel combination could do was to
tie for fourth place with four other
teams with SO.
Second-place honors fell upon the
shoulders of John Black, Wichita,
Kanss professional, and DR.. II. l..
Brownell. Monterey amateur, who had
a SIS. Third place went to Wallace

~ ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY has
only one more date to fill on
its foot ball schedule, No

other eight contests TO be

tiations are being carried on with
several elevens for the open Saturday.
The majority of schools met last

only two not played before being Will
liam and Mary and St. Francis.
The season is to be opened on Sep
tenber "a with William and Mary at
Williamsburg and close Thanksgiving
day with George Washington at the
Brookland Stadium. The annual con-
test with the Marines is to take place
october 20, while Holy Cross again
will be met at Worcester.

been growing in Importance with

George Washington which this past
Fall drew the biggest crowd in the
history of foot ball at c. u.
1t is felt at Catholic U. that next
years eleven will be one of the best
since foot ball was introduced at
Brookland. And, If the real thoughts
of the Brooklanders are probed, 1t
will be found that it is expected next
years eleven will be the strongest

The team during the past year
really was much stronger than its
won and last column would tend to
indicate. 1t lost several contests to
strong teams by small margins. and
played fine foot ball in games in
which 1t was defeated. In fact, in no
game during the past season did the
BrooklanderS play mediocre foot ball,
and the team Jack McAuliffe turned
out was a credit to him and to the
institution.

official in the South, thinks that in
one great respect the game in Dixie
is far and away above the gridiron
sport anywhere else, which is in the
matter of sportsmanship between op-
posing players before, during and
after the games. Here is what
Magoffin says about it:
Z ITO my way of thinking no other
section of the country has developed
in foot bail as fine spirit of sports
