BR0WN-EYED PERSONS
ARE LEADERS AT GOLF
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Golf instructors rather generally
hold the view that brown-eyed persons
play better golf than blue eyed and
gray-eyed persons
John Ball. who probably has won
more championships than any other
golfer. has brown eyes. James Braid.
Harry Nardon. Walter Hagen. bobby
Jones. Abe Mitchell and Cyril Tolley
also are brown-eyed The two great
golfers among women. Miss Joyce
Wethered and Miss Cecil I.eitch. also
have brown eyes.
Strong eyes are indispensable to
golf. and players who are able to see
we'll in strong wind without having
tears come into their eyes and who
do not suffer from the glare of the
sun have a great advantage
But oculists fail to agree that brown
eyes are necessarily stronger and het
ter eyes for golf than those of other
colors.

Grips him tight with hands.
4. Pulls legs of runner toward
himself and tries to lift him up as he
continues shoulder drive straight
ahead.
5. This driving ahead of shoulders
and lifting with arms begins to topple
runner over backward. At the mo-
ment tackler feels runner falling
backward he straightens and spreads
his own legs.
s. Falls on runner and by keeping
his own legs spread apart and stiff at
knees the force of his contact with
ground is taken on the toes Of his
shoes. not his knees.
A tip for players: Practice tackling
on the dummy in a saWdust pit until
YOU fall with legs stiff at knees. When
tackling strike opponent with all
viciousness in your power. Topple
him over backward and save several
yards thereby.
