short of being horizontal across the

be for full swing.
1t is sad to relate that most golfers
don't yet know what a full swing with

any good golfer they watched would
plainly reveal that he stops the club
short in the back swing.
Stopping the club shorter in the
back swing will at once have ten
dency to keep the shoulders free from
stiffness, so that in the forward swing
the shoulders-providing the underly-
ing force and power-will act natur-
ally. They will thus turn and work In
the swing without conscious effort
on the part of the player. The right
shoulder also will swing In with the
ball when the ball is hit, whearas If
the shoulders are paralyzed with
stiffness the blow will stop at the ball
Try short back swing and cultivate
the habit of rhythm and timing

RUNNERS KICK BALL

SAN ANGELO, Tex, February A.
The Tarahumare Indians who live on

" HE power house in the golf
swing Is your shoulders.
The shoulders generate the
L whole action, and the arms,
wrists and hands act as trig-
gers, which release additional bursts
Of accelerating power as the forward
swing progresses.
Because of this relation of the
shoulders to the forward swing It is
imperative that the shoulders be kept
free of stiffness and rigidity. The
commonest agent for developing
shoulder stiffness is the long back
swing. The extra effort, the uncalled-
for stretching and reaching in the
back swing to get away back so taxes
the shoulders that they stiffen up, and
in the natural action of things they
will retain this stiffness throughout
the forward swing.
When you take what is commonly
called half swing back you have a
feeling that the club, at the top, is in
about the position indicated in Fig.
THAT is, 1t feels as though your
arms were about waist high and the

apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
