INVISIBLE for some would be fatal for
others.
For instance, a group of trained
athletes such as the Irish hockey
squad, who spend hours daily on the
field, can easily play 35-minute halves
without i'll effects, for they have been
trained up to it gradually. But a
team composed of girls who have
homes to care for or positions to oc-
cupy the majority Of their time. and
who play once or twice a wsek-some
times less-would doubtless find 35-
minute halves too strenuous. The
ma ority of the players, even in this
group, could no doubt "get by" but
there would be little doubt that some
member of the team would suffer real
injury from the unaccustomed strain
placed upon her heart in a contest OF
regulation length,
Could not some plan be evolved
where time of periods would be modi-
fed according to existing conditions
as It Is done in basket ball circles?
Senior basket ball teams play 10-min-
ute quarters. Younger squads are linn
tied to eight minutes, while those in
the graded schools are often allowed
to play but six minutes at a stretch.
Why should not the hockey. problem
be settled on much the same basis?

put all my experience with golfers
and all the study / have made of
them back Of the statement that near
ly all the troubles that golf players
struggle with are traceable to the vio-
lation OF this simple statement OF fact
keep your exploding force out of it.
When you force a golf swing you
vertically explode your energy, and II
any worthwhile result comes of 1t
you have won something only through
an accident Of the game. The most
helpful. the simplest and yet appar-
entity the toughest lesson of all for
golfers to learn Is that the club must
be left to do its own swing. You just
let 1t swing-that's all there Is TO 1t.
1t Is adding your explosive. violent
force of energy to it that causes all
the damage.
Figure ] reveals what happens in
the forward swing when, adding force,
you lunge at the ball with the body.
You get exactly the same effect with
such a lunge as would result if you
tied the end of the shaft to your chest,
then swung at the ball with your body.
This Iunging at the ball causes, among
other things, the following: l. Body
moves forward. out OF line with the
ball. 3. Right side of body droops. 3.
Head is forced upward. 4. Clubhead

fight all the way. The Belmonts got
under way with, coiors flying to as.
sumo a healthy lead in the first game.
But the King Pin representatives
plugged along and with the finish Of
the third game were IL pins to the
good. The Belmonts fought stub
bornly in the fourth game, but saw
their opponents gain another two
pins. In the last game the crack
bowlers of Mount Pleasant made a
glorious squirt near the close of hos
tilities to end the contest well in
front.
That first game was the only one
captured by the Belmonts, but to one
of their members went the honor Of
being high scorer of the match.
George Friend slammed a. five-game

And it is not certain that the limit
has been reached by any means. EX-
periments with the core, with the ten
sion of the winding and with the cover
may result in a ball which will travel
half again as far as the present dis
lance annihilator. So, why stop prog
reSs?
This will be the most interesting
phase of the annual meeting of the
U. S. G.. A. The rest of the meeting is
more or less cut and dried.
New Tourney Plan Wanted.
Just what the meeting will decide as
to the form of qualification for the
amateur championship is another most
engrosSing topic. Although Fownes-
father of the "16-to-aualify" system
which failed SO miserably at Oakmont
lis slated to be president, there seems
little question that at least 80 will
qualify in the 1925 championship.
Some even advocate GA to give the
men who travel great distances to the
championship more than a Chinaman's
chance to make the grade.
Much of the protest that came to the
association last year against the
small number of qualifiers came from
the West, whose representatives
travelled many hundreds of miles to
Pittsburgh to play in the title event.
These are the two big matters of
public interest which DIR. James II.
McClenahan of Washington, and G. H.
Chasmar of Columbia will discuss,
along with the several hundred other
delegates to the annual meeting.
Both plan to attend the meeting,
which will be held Friday and Satur-
day of this week.

racquet welding season. Sometime
during the coming week, the annual
tilt between the junior and senior
champions will be staged, at which
time the whole school will turn out
EN- masse to root for the players.
The junior and senior Journeys
have been run off since the school
opened this fall. Every year the
junior and senior classes run off
their Journeys separately. When
the champion of each class has been
crowned the two girls meet to de-
termine which class will hold the
school championship. This time Mar

Mary Virginia Gates, of the juniors,
will figure in the tfme-honored en-
counter.
Margaret Alderman, who bested
Barbara Brown in the finals, plays
a nice game of tennis. BY her
steady, heady playing, she de-
feated seven of her classmates in
fine style. Those who took the
count were: Mary lynn Giles, Marian
Evans, Marjorie Wells, Barbara

Mary Virginia Gates took the
