According to Sheriff Harry
Comstock of Greenfield, Ewing,
a former resident of McCords-
vile, had been married to a
Mary Day of McCordsville for
five years and left her and their
child over a year ago.
Coming to indianapolis, Ewing, a
carpenter, wooed Zenith Burress and
married her, Oct. 4, 1926, without
obtaining divorce from his first
wife.

For a time the couple lived on
N. Capitol Ave. and then in Febru-
airy Of this year moved to the Boyles
home. H
Zenith Burress Ewing first learned
of her husbands previous marriage
when deputy sheriff arrested him
in August on a wife desertion
charge filed by the first wife.
Ewing at first denied to Marion
County authorities that he was mar
ried to his second wife. but when
the second wife had been questioned
they charged him with bigamy in
addition to child desertion.
John Collins, a farmer, driving a
gravel wagon, discovered the bodies
this morning in a ditch along a
road which Is a continuation Of

west and one mile south Of Mt.

Army Hatchet Found
Sheriff Comstock found the mur-
der weapon, an Army hatchet, in
the woods thirty feet from the
bodies.
There was no trace of Ewing or

Notified Of the double murder, Po-

signed four detectives to search for
him here.
Ewing, according to State Farm
authorities, escaped from the farm

G. U. FOOT BALLERS
ARE MOVING SLOWLY

WILDWOOD, n. j., August 30
Following two opening day sessions of
two hours each, which were nothing if
not vigorous, Georgetown University's
foot ball squad was carded today for
even more energetic action.
Under direction of Head Coach Lou
Little, and Coach Herb kopf and Line
Coach John Degrossa the three dozen
aspirants were sent through setting
up exercises, passing the ball and
other exercises designed to loosen
muscles. Little himself took charge
Of the hackfield men as Mike Palm,
backfield coach, did not get into camp

bunch when the coaches called it a

There is not the heft to the Blue
and Gray squad this Fall that there
was in 1925 and 1926, but Coach Lit
tie is hopeful of rounding out a for
midable combination.
Among the reserves and last years
freshmen upon whom Little is depend
ing to fill the big gap left by such
stars as Babe Connaughton. Bob
Gormley, Frank McGrath and Carl
Waite, there is doubtless material of
real ability.
Little will keep his proteges in train

other way-take the usual grip with
the left hand, and very light grip
with the right.
Swinging with such a loose right
hand grip you will observe how nearly
the whole action approXimates left
hand action throughout. And SO it
is. Even Bobby Jones recently stated
that after studying the matter for
some years he had finally reached the
definite conclusion that the golf swing
was wholly matter of the left arm.
A lighter touch with the right hand
will cause an entirely different feeling
in the forward swing. The clubhead
will appear to go more from the inside
out, as it should, and while there will
be a feeling of solid hitting at the
moment of impact. there will be no
consciousness of the right hand hav'
ing accomplished it. This is as it
should be. The right hand works
and very fast at the proper instant
but you do not sense it.
The best of golfers are agreed that
the hand action is so fast at the mo-
ment of impact that it cannot be de-
tected. 1t is exactly that--and there
fore any theory of consciously max.
ing either hand actually do anything
at the moment of impact is bad golf.

poets are fair for such an event with
a number of veterans returning. in
Guiding Drennen, Hood, Crowley and
others.
Alexander has been head mentor
at Tech since 1920. the year John
Heisman left. Prior to that Alex
ander assisted Heisman. having
started his coaching career in that
capacity in 1912 upon graduation
from Tech. Heisman went to the
University of Pennsylvania as coach
and Alexander succeeded him IN
charge of Techs gridiron squad.
He considers the team turned out
in 1920. the first year he coached,
the best that he has produced. EX-
cept for last season, the YellowJacket
elevens have played up to standard
since Coach Alex started with them.
1t was last Fall. however, that the
Tornado suffered a number of re-
verses. notably at the hands OF
Georgia, Alabama and Notre Dame.

Age only encounters one great
handicap in golf. Few fellows
above so can stand the gaff of a
long -drawn-out open. That is what
killed Vardon off at Toledo in the
L. S. open of 1920. when he led the
field to near the finish. But IN
match play, if Sandy Herd is
sample. a little thing like SO Sum-
mers makes no difference, for last
Summer didn't Sandy step out and
win the News of the World event
in England, an event similar to
the professional golfers champion
ship in the United States.
Sandy's skill in the wind was the
reason. In British circles they
rank him at the top with Harold
Hilton in ability to cheat the wind.
It's all done by opening or shutting
the club face so that a slice or
hook, respectively, follows. When
Sandy wishes to hook (see illustra-
tom the elbows are close together
at the top and the club head points
to the left of the line. Note, too,
his left wrist is well under the
shaft. If a slice is wanted the
right elbow points out and the left
wrist isn't under the handle Of the
shaft at the top.
Do good deal of practicing if
you wish to master these shots.
Few of the British cracks are sure

FAIT ELKINS OF NEBRASKA
MAY BE A SECOND THORPE

Elkins is sure he can break the
world record at the next Olympics
and the Firms, the Argentines, the
Greeks and the rest hold no terrors
for him. Certain it is that in break
ing the American record he did not
do his best in the jump, the vault
or the javelin throw
1t had been expected the country
would hear of him in foot ball and
it may yet, Notwithstanding Elkin's
announcement today that he intends
to forego foot gall because he does
not care to risk an injury that might
hamper his track work.
Last year as a freshman at Nebraska
he went out for the eleven because
the rules said he had to; he was not
very enthusiastic about the game. He
didn't show very much interest in the
fundamental instructions he received
from the coaches and the opinion was
that he would never do.
But Ernie Bearg, the head coach.
