pro and the crack amateur, the one
who has done little else but play
golf all his life, can go back fast
and get away with it, but it is up
setting to our games because most
OF us learn a great deal by imita-
tion.
"Why shouldn't we take the club
back fast" we ask ourselves. Young
Jimmy Thompson, Richmond pro.
: who can hit them with any of
them, does it. Well. it remained
for a dub to explain the reason
very clearly. And he demonstrated
it and had me do it. Take the f1g'
ure on the left. which is none other
than Arthur Havers. once British
open champion. Hes at the top OF
his swing and i'm good position. The
one on the right is an imaginary
figure with hands and arms start
ing the downswing. But the club
is still farther back than in the
other drawing. Why? Solely be-
cause when we take 1t back fast
we cannot pause, as does the pro.
So we start the downswing right
off. But the upswing momentum
of the club keeps 1t going up al
though we have started to hit
down. Result, hands ahead and a
slice. II you don't believe it just

TO Virginia Poly in the fourth of the

these are ancient history. and what
really matters is that OF the four
games played since gridiron relations
were taken up the Gobblers have won
the first and the last, and the Cavaliers
have taker the two I'm between.
Seat sales at the university indicate

COUNT TOLSTOY

The walls of scenario aspirants

Hollywood, will soon be deadened.
Count Ilya Tolstoy will attempt
to ease their injured feelings and
help them with their literary
efforts.
Tolstoy, noted author, lecturer,
and eldest son of the late Leo
Tolstoy, will establish himself
permanently in Hollywood and
give the aspiring writer's the ben
eft of some so years of literary
career.
The count has been delvinr into
things cinematic. He was engaged
by Edwin Carewe as literary ad-
visor during the filming of
Resurrection" his fathers story.
He has studied scenarios. He
laments the. impossibility Of the
studies to help the great mass of
men and women who feel they can
write for the movies.
Tolstoy senses a new era in seen
arlo writing. He feels a need for
fresh minds.
He plans to give advice, make
suggestions, and truthfully tell
those whose scenario efforts
come before him, just how far
they will go toward being pur-
chased for filming.

should feel the completed rhythm.
There Is a tendency to allow the

not stiffen after you hit the ball.

With these shots it may be
better to send your follow

at the finish. Remember this
forever; the way to follow
through is with your hands and

If the hands are showed through
the ball they cannot move from
