Jones Clubs Rusty and Dingy,
But Champ Has a Good Reason

ably is true that they are trifle rusty
and dingy, but there is excellent reason
for this. The writer has been told that
Jones does not have his clubs polished
because he realizes the importance of
having no weight removed from the
head
Grinding or polishing is certain to re-
move weight, and since fraction of an
ounce variation will completely change
the balance of an iron, it is better to
put up with poor appearance.
This checks up with the experience
of many star players. If you examine
their bags, you will find many clubs
which have been in use for some time
and which have lost so much weight
through grinding and polishing that
their owners have found it necessary to
have additional weight added to the
back of the club in order to bring it
back to its original weight and balance.
This condition has been remedied by
progressive club manufacturers through
the use of stainless finishes.
One manufacturer has even devised
a method of hardening and tempering
the soles of iron clubs so they do not
nick or dent, and it is unnecessary to
file off burrS and hicks which would
ordinarily result from striking rocks and
gravel.
The average golfer will do we'll to
follow leading amateurs and profess
SIGNALS in the matter of clubs. Prac4
tically every star is using balanced
clubs, matched" either by the manu.
facturer or by himself.

BRITON MAKES AN ACE

LONDON, September q CP).-British

What was believed the most remark

the Stoneham course.
This week also saw E. F. Sales, Sum

Zuppke Calls Illinois Outlook
Dark, as His Team Is Favorite

cheer cheers the players instead OF be-
fuddling them. .......s
Another experiment now in progress
was designed to discover when a player
is under or over trained Several of the
star backfield candidates have been
sleeping on single beds, matted by a
heavy mattress. A clock Is attached to
it and regulated in such manner that
every move is recorded. The extent and
time of the move is shown on the chart
attached to the clock. Thus, If 1t is
found a player is continually tossing
about during the night, trainers are adj
vised and his training is reduced or in
creased as it is deemed fit.
Several other interesting experiments
are being tried, but have not been an
nounced.
Then there is the orange squad"
After each practice, those who are
classed as regulars" are given glass
of pure orange juice. This is designed
to whip up their appetite.
Although there are Is letter men back
in the fold, Zuppke has pronounced the
outlook as dark for the Illini this year.
THE big trouble is everybody will
think we are bunch of poor ones If
we don't win the title, and if we do win
they'll just say: Why shouldn't Illinois

GIRL WINS MATCH
WITH EAGLE THREE
Virginia Van Vie Remains in
Tourney by Beating
Birdie of Rival.

HOT SPRINGS, Va. September 81
A hopeful young golfer was opposed by
a former champion today in each of the
quarter-final matches of the Woman'S
national golf tournament.
Heading the top bracket, Maureen Or
cult, Englewood, N. j., links queen, was
matched against Mrs. Dorothy Camp

American champion as we'll as former
holder of the British and Canadian
titles. Miss CIRCUITS brilliant game

last hole.
Marion Hollins, New York, found her
way to a second championship blocked
by a smiling young girl in white, Vir-
ginia Van Vie of Chicago, steady
player as we'll as a great shot maker.
Battling against heavy odds in her sec
ond round match with Edith Quier OF
Reading, Pa, Miss Van VIE squared the
match at the eighteenth and called on
her reserve strength for an eagle three
at the nineteenth hole to overcome her
opponents birdie and win, up.

Shots indicative of fine golfer have
characterized the play of the little Ca

is similar to that of Mrs. Hurd, eX-
tremely accurate and steady, although
not of a sensational character.
The final match to leave the tee
brought Glenna Collett, one of the long

VIRGINIA STRESSING
PLAYS FOR OPENER

UNIVERSITY, Va, September 81
Virginia's varsity foot bali team is con-
centrating upon the routine of plays
that are to be used in the opening game
with Randolph-Macon College Saturday.
Coach Earle Neale has given his men
only a few plays for this first contest.
Much time has been spent polishing up
the attack to be used by the Ccraliers.
One combination of backs that has
been used together includes Sloan at
quarterback, Hammer and Moncure in
the halfback positions and Faulconer at
fullback. All can carry the ball.
Whalen, who has been paired with
Capt. Luke at tackle, was injured in
tackl1ng practice, and Motley has been
moved out from a guard position. This
means that probably Harris and Sy-
mington will open the season on each
side of George Taylor at center.
Turner. Flippin. Byrd and Ivey have
all been used as ends.

Picks Ball Clean,
Hits 1t Into Space
BY SOL METZGER.

BY SOL METZGER.
When golfer can wallop his drive
so far on a par S hole as to require
but No. iron to reach the green,
as Phillips Finlay, long driving
amateur, did in a match with Fran
els Ouimet, it is high time to locate
the secret of his length from the
tee.
Finlay attributes this great length
of his in no small measure to the
fact that he picks the ball clean
out of the air off a high tee and
propels it into space. Like Abe
Mitchell, Monroe Hunter and other
long hitters, Finlay has found that
there is less resistance to ball hit
into space than to one that rolls
along the ground.
In this connection an interesting
experiment has been worked out by
one golf enthusiast VINO tells me
that Bobby Jones tee shots remain
in the air not quite five seconds, but
those of Monroe Hunter, one of the
longest driving professionals in
America, stay in space seven seconds.
Finlay says that shot putters are
coached to heave the shot into space
in order to get distance. Broad
jumpers exert themselves likewise to
leap high in order to break records,
and hammer throwers likewise try
for height. So he follows the same
rule in driving

Houghton put together pair of con-

BY WILLIE MACFARLANE,

Former United States Open Champion.
~ INCE Bobby Jones won the Amer
lean amateur championship for
the fourth time, players are much
~ interested in the champions
clubs.
There have been stories to the effect
that Jones' clubs are rusty and un-
kempt and that they are not matched
by the manufacturer, but nevertheless
they are perfectly related.
They have been matched" by Jones
himself by the process of selection and
rejection over long period of time, and
because of his Superlative sense OF
touch he has been able to gather to-
gether clubs which are matched ex-
actly. His clubs all have the same
feel in spite Of the fact that they
were collected one at time and were
made by half dozen different club
makers.
In theory it is possible for any player
to select set of clubs which all have
the same balance, but in practice it is
found that the average player can
match clubs only roughly, even though
he has an unlimited stock to choose
from.
This was realized a number of years
ago by golfers who were students of the
game. and club manufacturers set about
devising ways and means for building
sets which would be scientifically
matched and balanced.
To get back to Jones' clubs, 1t prob
