In the Pebble Beach tournament
In December Light Horse Harry"
Cooper. one of the soundest golfers
among the young pros. found his
ball iinbedded in sand near one of
the greens. Cooper played an ex.
plosion so close to the pin as to sink
in one putt. Incidentally he won
first prize. Getting out of sand is
problem every golfer meets.
When the ball is in1bedded 1t is an
acute one. Cooper's method is worth
attention, as 1t is sound in both
theory and practice. The object, of
course, is to play high shot short
of the pin that drops the ball
dead
It's obvious. if you study such a
problem, that you cannot play the
hal clean. How, then, is the shot to
be accomplished? Cooper closes the
face of his nibiick and with stiff
wrists strikes the sand back of the
ball, driving the clubs face on
through the sand. The bottom of
the arc of his swing is directly I'M
der the ball. See illustration at top.
This stroke, as the sketches num-

sand forward and upward. And
this sand i'm turn lifts the ball with
out spin and drops it dead" When
close 10 the green Cooper strikes
some or inches back of the ball.
Less sand is taken in proportion to
the distance from the green. Take
a firm stance and force the club
through and spend much time in
practice to perfect this shot. It's a
stroke saver.

well organized hockey eleven. She
has incuicated in every girl under her
tutelage a spirit of clean sportsman
