Hvattsville High School has just

most successful generally the schooi
has ever enjoyed in sports.

institution has been dealt it's hardest

Wright, who plays soccer, base bali
and basket ball and won the soccer
ball kick for distance in the recent
county track meet, probably will en-
ter the University of Maryland.
In fact. most of the other graduates
who have done much toward putting
the school on the athletic map prob
ably will enter the Old Line school.

be Of interest now at the start Of the
new season.
Haeen's STYLE ia one of the soundest
putting methods have ever seen, The
mechanics of it reveal that Sir Walter
gave a lot of thought and study to
putting. His putting results would
Indicate that, but analysis of his
method indicates it more certainly.
In the sketch you see picture OF
his putting style.
The bah is off the left foot. All the
weight ia thrown onto the left foot.
and this doesn't mean Il majority of
the weight. but all of it. The left hip
is twisted, or turned. some toward
the cup. Then the right foot is step
ped back, and. the foot merely rest
ing on tho inside edge, it touches the
ground only enough to maintain a
balance. The right foot rests very
lightly there. all the weight being on
the left foot. Also, he stands very
erect.
The golfer who tries this will pen
ceive at once that this position make S
it practically impossible for the body
to move even slightly while the blade
is swung. Also, it necessitates max
ing the swing wholly with the hands, it
being almost mpossible-and, not least
most aWkW1fd--tO SWING the putteI
any other way. Hagen probably dis
covered that when the weight is on
both feet it is very easy for the knees
to swing back and forth, in an almost
imperceptib,e movement, while max
ing the putt. With this method 1t is
impossible for that action to steal into
the putt and rob it of true roll.
This wonderful putting method is
the real reason. why those long ones
go down for Walter. When he puts
so or 60 feet or So he means for the
putt to sink, and often they do.

, Monroe on Tuesday had routed Gales,
9 10 0. On Wednesday Monroe again
started with a rush and at the end
of the fourth inning were ahead. 3
to 0. In the fifth, however. the Gales
boys. spurred by Miss Hood and their
other faithful followers. rallied gal
!antlv and scored three runs to tie
the score. In the sixth Gales counted
another to take the lead, which they
held thereafter.
After the game, Miss Hood In
accordance with her custom dispensed
candy and chewing gum to members
Of the team.
In addition to winning the city base
ball title after having triumphed in
the Plaza Division and captured the
Eastern section championship, Gales
representatives won division track
honors with ease and placed fifth in
the city finals The girls track team
also won first place in the division
meet outscoring their nearest rivals
by a wide margin.
Others who are given much credit
for the success of Gales School repre-
sentatives are Miss NJ. A. digger,
principal of the school. and Harold ID.
Fife, who after his teaching duties
during the past school year. coached
the teams. Fife, a graduate of the
University Of Utah has always taken
a lively interest in athletics and has
himself been a star particularly in
tennis.
George Youngblood. Plaza Play
ground athletic director. is another
who has given the Gales boys and
girls pointers that have proved valu-
able.
incidentally. it is interesting to note
that schools Of the Fifth Division
have taken all elementary school a'n-
letic honors this year. The int 4
taken by s. NJ. Ely, supervisor of j,4A
division. is believed To have h l
responsible in no small measure .'r
this fine record.
