UNIQUE EXPLANATION

slumps l was in one for several
months this winter; just couldn't hit
my stride; the touch and punch was
missing" Hagen said.
mo one has ever been able to
fathom the reason for a batting
slump in baseball Such great bat
tiers as Cobb, Ruth and the rest of
the stars, have all suffered from
them, yet l never heard satisfac-
tory explanation of how they came
or were cured.
'In baseball, a certain pitcher
will be knocked out. of the box in
few innings under a shower of
base hits. Often he will come back
the next day and shut out the
same ball club. There is no eX-
planning it.
I'm golf, certain players noted for
their putting, will for weeks play
atrociously on reaching the greens.
Others noted for being accurate
from the tees will hook and slice
'Then all of sudden these faults
will suddenly disappear and the
player will get back on his game.
II am going to fool lot of those
golfing experts who have been busy
counting me out this winter"

IN/t nation to another noted pro,
~ he smiled, admitted part of
it was true, and then added:
Hagen has another handicap
that lot of us do not have to bother
about. Unquestionably he has more
hero worshipers than all the rest of
us put together.
''He has invitations galore from
people who admire his play and
court his company. Of necessity
he is forced to accept many of
them. Usually they mean late
hours, too much food, and perhaps
something stronger than water.
ut is surprising to me how Hagen
holds his game SO superbly when
you figure how he is feted by his
legion of admirers.
when Hagen tends strictly to
business, he is almost unbeatable in
match play. He trained carefully
and practiced diligently for three
weeks prior to the Sarazen match

LEGATION.
Wynne, a former all-American grid
star. assailed the tendency of con-
ferences TO make their own special
rules"
Sometimes these rule changes are
disgusting" Coach Wynne said. For
instance, Minnesota was unable to
schedule a game at the Big Ten
meeting last December because it
employs the shift. In blunt words.
they are just too hard to beat.
Michigan remembered well its
miraculous escape from the last
Minnesota game. and the dominating
coaches of the Big Ten ruled the
shift out by placing a two-second
stop rule against it.
"In other words il Minnesota used
simple offensive and one that her
opponents could understand. they
would be given games"
Wynne said that TO satisfy" two
or three selfish coaches, whose posi-
lions in football were threatened, the
shift play was practically abolished.
Conferences and sections should
leave the rules alone. as long as we
have a national rules committee, -
Wynne said.
