Most of our golf is initiative. We
watch a star during a round and
the effect is usually beautiful
Professionals who devote their time
to teaching rarely play on a par
with those who devote their time
to competition. The latter uncon-
sciously fall into the bad habits of
their pupils. One of the results Of
attempting to initiate good golfers
il mashie pushed well off to the
right. Women, especially, are
guilty. They see pro play q cut
mashie approach that stops near
the cup, note that the face OF his
mashie is open, and they try to do
lisewise. But they push the shot
off to the right.
Cecil Leitch has repeatedly called
attention to this fault with the
players Of her sex. The trouble is
that the imitation has not gone far
enough. True, the pro does open
the face Of his club in many in.
stances. But the player watching
fails to note he plays the ball to
the left, hitting it from right to left
and giving 1t the tremendous cut
that causes the ball to leap almost
at a right angle to Its line Of fight
when it alights.
Miss Leitch uses the same shot
herself. not only to get stop. but to
play somewhat around an interven-
ing trap, as shown in the upper left
corner Of the illustration. Thus,
if the shot is rnisplayed. such as a
top. there is no danger Of becoming
trapped. Her method Of playing 1t
Is shown In the illustration. 1t is
not difficult shot to master, as it
is an educated slice. Slicing Is the
common fault of most golfers.

SUCCESS OF YALE CREWS
rs A TRIBUTE TO LEADER

| the United States in the Olympic re.
gatta.
In order to have established a clear
claim to supremacy In all these years.
Yale would have had to be represented
at Poughkeepsie and to have won
there. So much for the national i'm.
portance of the annual regatta on the
Hudson River.
Score Impressive Wins.
On the other hand. the Ellis upon
various occasions in compiling their
long string of victories have met and
vanquished the representatives of
every institution that sends eights to
k pPoughkeepsie with the exception OF
Washington and Syracuse. and Yale
rowing enthusiasts have every right
to their present mood of cheerful COM
placency over the status of aquatics
at New Haven.
. Leader, of course. has wrought the
marked change in rowing situation
which left much to be desired by Yale
partisans in the years prior to 1928.
The character of the rowing material
at New Haven has not changed. With
the exception Of one or two years
perhaps no fault at all was to be
found with the type Of men who went
in for this sport. It has been merely
that Leader has had the faculty of
selecting the proper men to sit in the
shell. Added to this faculty, which is
as rare as radium by the way, he has
had the ability to implant in his
pupils his knowledge about swinging
a sweep, which is also rare. Then,
even rarer. perhaps, he has been able
to coordinate his eight oarsmen into
a perfectly synchronized machine.
Nor is this all. Having prepared bis
men in all manner Of technique, he
has fired them with indomitable rae
ing spirit. Lacking the power to do
this. Leader might have seen more
than one Of his precisely geared,
superbly conditioned eights go down
to defeat. More than one coach ap-
proximately as well equipped with
technical knowledge as Leader, pos
sibly more so, has failed because of
the lack of one or other Of the quail.
tiles above mentioned, but chiefly be-
cause they have not had that dynamic
projecting force which raises a crew.
or any sort Of athletic team, to a
high competitive notch.
Show Fighting Qualities.
The way this battling zest works
ouI wac uCFCA AtOIC 5i6hitlCdully OeIl-
onstrated than in the Olympic trials
on the Schuylkill River, when Yale
outmatched In rowing and matched
in gameness and spirit the Navy vet
Grams who had been assembled to row
for the honor Of representing the
United States In France In 1924.
It was apparent again last year,
when fine sprinting Penn crew led
the Yale varsity over the mile and
seven-eighths course at Derby until
the last 100 yards. when the Blue
tipped car blades bit into the water
with the savagery OF tiger fangs and
drove the Yale ship into the lead and
across the line winner. Therein lies
one Of the great secrets OF Taie's II
straight victories.
