100 yards out of the rough and onto
the fairway would leave the ball only
IT'S yards from the green, so that the
player could expect to make it with
his third shot. The possibility of a
Oneputt green ahead is far more
likely than the chance of making 275
yards from the first rough.
Now there is still a third considera-
ton when in the rough. When the
lie is very bad, such as tall grass or
roughness of turf, abandon even the
idea of getting 100 yards and back
to the fairway. Instead, concentrate
everything on getting back to the
fairway, regardless of distance. This
requires the very best of golf judg-
ment and, with it, the proper swing
execution. Come clear down to a
quarter swing-and make sure only
of one thing-chip the ball out tfig
ure y.
The rough is put there to penalize
bad shot, but only the golfer him
self can additionally penalize himself
after he gets into the rough. It's no
use to yowl that the rough is so awful
rough that it is unfair, when the fact
is golf wouldn't be q sport at all with
out the rough--as every golfer full
well knoWs--and lack of clear think
ing when you are in the rough is often
what makes the rough SO rough.

BY SOL METER.

1t won't be long now until Abe
Mitchell will be playing here, both
in the Ryder Cup matches and in
the L. S. open, for he is to captain
the invading British professional
team. Those who follow Mitchell
marvel at his accurate length. Abe
propels the pill the proverbial mile
though he has little follow through.
In these days of long courses and
long drivers one has to hit to stay
in the swim. How does he get such
length with accuracy, one always
asks when they see Mitchell clout
oneo
Mitchell has wrists and powerful
shoulder and back muscles to be
sure, but there is more than that to
golf else Gene Tunney and Jack
Dempsey would be right at the top.
Mitchell thinks that the left knee
has much TO do with ones correct
play. In taking back the club it
must bend in toward the right, and
not forward toward the ball, as is
the case with the driver pictured on
the left. Mitchell is the other. The
reason for this movement of the
left knee is as follows: If you bend
it forward toward the ball it guides
the left shoulder forward too,
causes the body to bend more at
the waist and throws the weight
at the top on the right heel. At the
top the weight shold be on the right
foot and the toe of the left. Then
one can swing through properly
and apply the wrist action that
gives Abe his distance. The driver
who bends the left knee forward
has a tendency to fall away from
the ball and slice. Note the arcs
of the swings of each and you'll
note why one slices and the other
hits straight.

AFRICAN CADDIES USE
GOLF CLUBS OF IRON
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Native caddies in South Africa be-
come crack golfers with imprOyised
clubs made of heavy iron wire bent
at the business end into the correct lie.
The club head is d short piece of iron
pipe. The grip is of old rags or cloth
wrapped with fine wire.
With only one club of this crude
nature. Joseph. native caddie at a
Bloemfontein club, won a caddies' COM
petition by playing nine-hole course
measuring 5000 yards in A strokes
Boeey for the nine holes is 38.
The native caddies often return bet
ter scores than do the players who
carry the regular assortment of dri
vers and irons.
The secret of it is that the native
boys play the game from the time
they can walk: they have fine, natural
swings and, having only the one home
made club. learn to use it to perfec
ton.

GRID CHANGES ATTACKED
BY INGRAM AND ROCKNE

Naturally I will experiment with
the play and no doubt use it too. so
far as it fits in with what / consider
the fundamentals of the game. 1t is
forced upon us. but that does not alter
my own views that it is a mistake and
bad one"
The rule, Ingram said, would en-
courage loose handling Of the ball and
add to the duties of defensive ends
and tackles.
Over the wire from South Bend,
Ind. Coach Rockne said:
II am opposed to some of the chang
es, but of course must make the best
of it. The game is too widespread and
there are too many coaches for any
group to attempt to build up a game
of it's own.
Il do not think the lateral pass will
be effective and / do feel that it may
hamper the development of the game
along sound lines. Some elevens will be
working along one line and others
along another and it seems to me
that this will create an unhappy sit
uatiOn.
"On top of this feel that the pro-
lection given to the players catching
punts by which an opponent may
not advance the bail on recovering
tumble, deyitalizes the game"

NEW YORK, May 25.--William A.
Navy Bill Ingram and Knute
Rockne. foot ball coaches of the Navy
and Notre Dame. respectively, We're de-
clared today by the New York World
to be 'in open revolt" against changes
made in the rules since last year.
In telephone conversations with the
World the coaches We're quoted as
objecting particularly to the rule en-
couraging use of the lateral or back
ward pass. although both announced
they would make the best of it, and
would not attempt to influence other
coaches against it.
Under the new rules the lateral or
backward pass, instead of becoming q
free ball if incompleted. remains in
possession Of the passing side.
Reached at JeffersOnville, Ind,
Coach Ingram said:
1.-The protection afforded for the use
of the lateral pass is quite unneces-
sary and will hurt the game rather
than help it. It is not elastic enough
We had a good game as it was and
now the very fundamentals are af-
fected.
ut will take long time to develop
the lateral pass along sound lines
and in the meantime it will create
much discord and discomfort.

on paper. but Joe certainly has them
stepping along. His young pitchers
are doing much better, and while the
Cubs are only seventh in team bat
ting they hit many homers.
Uncle Robby gradually is sending
his Dodgers up the ladder and is
recovering a lot of that early lost
ground when the Brooklyns won only
two games out of their first IA. Phil
adelphia still is playing great ball and
getting fine pitching. No matter
where Stuffy McInnis finishes, he
must be called the real miracle work

PROTESTS NOT 10
 CHANCE DECISION
Title Fight Is Closed Book to
 Illinois Boxing Commission

Chicago. Sept. o6 LPl-Whatever appeal Jack Dempsey and his man. ager, Leo Flynn, may file with the powers that control professional boxing, the decision that gave Gene Tunncy last Thursdays champion ship fight seemed today as indelible and incradicable as that spectacular fight itself.
 Dempsey and Flynn, before leav- ing yesterday for New York on the same train that carried Tex Rick ard, the promoter, said that letter had been written the Illinois boxing commission asking it to award the heavyweight championship to Demp- sey. The claim is based upon the knockdown Dempsey scored in the seventh round and the disputed count that followed as Tunney re mained on the canvass.
 Dempsey said he had sent the fol- lowing telegram to the state com mission:
 My manager, Leo P. Flynn, and myself are preparing q formal let ter which will arrive at your offices Tuesday morning, asking you to re- verse the decision and declare Jack Dempsey the winner by a knockout over Gene Tunnty.'
 Flynn indicated that an appeal would be made to the National Box ing association in the event that the Illinois commission stuck to it's de- termination 10 uphold the decision that gave Tunney the fight.
 The National Boxing association is an association of the commissions of IS states, banded together for the purpose of uniform regulations of boxing. It's headquarters are at Baltimore.
 To those familiar with the opera ton of the national commission it seemed most improbable that it would offer much solace to Flynn. | The general opinion was that the national commission holds no power 1 to overrule a member state commis- sion.
 Dempsey's closest associates have pointed out that Dempsey himself was not inclined to file a protest over the decision but that he felt ] duty-bound to stand by his man. ager. Flynn has been insistent that the decision permitting Tunney tc continue after the Enockdown in the seventh was unfair.
 John Righeimer. chairman of the Illinois boxing commission, said to- day that the fight, so far as the commission is concerned, is "a closed book
