The reaction to Walter
Hagen's overwhelming defeat
by Archie Compston, both here
and in England, appears to be
sympathy for the vanquished.
compston's remarkable golf took
all the swagger from the colorful
Americana Word pictures portray
the world's greatest money player
as a game guy doing the best he
knew how but taking 1t on the
chin pathetically.
He accepted defeat gracefully
and the English liked that. Re-
ports from abroad say that
Hagen,s spOrtsn1anlike attitude
throughout the COmpstOn affair
made 'em all forget the rather
shabby deal he gave Abe
Mitchell
Hagen played no golf to speak
OF all winter. He made 5000
mile trip and had one day Of prac-
tice before the battle, a lot Of it
putting on a hotel carpet. His
hands were so tender that a blister
formed and broke. But Hagen has
not been quoted as offering an
alibi. Rather than that he paid
tribute to the genius of Compston.
And now the golfing world looks
forward TO a return match, though
the subject has not been brought
up by the two principals. There is
a feeling that another match would
be just and proper.
Hagen. playing his normal
game, probably would have
been beaten anyway but when
the Haig is whipped 16.up I'm ~

counted in making the thing

tIcuIarly the maSnle.
Ny observation leads me to be-
Ifeve that with this latter club, the
cUnnaonest mistake il for the
player to stand too far away from
the ball. One frequently sees q
player standing hack so far that
he or she has to reach forward to
put the clubhead In position back
Of the ball IN the address. This
means pulling the arms too far out
from the sides, and IS also usually
accompanied by a stiffness in the
knees, which renders 1t very diff
cult 70 pivot properly.
went undertake 10 state in
feet and inches Just how far
out the ball should be from the
feet, because this win vary
somewhat I'M different players.
But here Is what should be
done By all.
In the first place. avoid any
stiffening in the knees in taking
the stance. Keep them steady, but
not stiff. and stand close enough
to the ball so that, with the knees
held thus the upper part Of the
arms, from the shoulder to the
elbow. hang just free Of the sides,
when the clubhead is placed in
position back OF the ball. Usually,
for the IIlashie, this will mean that
the ball is five or six inches out
from where line, dropped from
the nose would strike the ground.
The Importance of getting the
right distance from the ball comes
from the necessity of keeping the
arms quite close in to the body in
playing iron shots. In the first
place, il the arms are allowed to
get too far out, control OF the path
to the clubhead becomes much
more difficult.
The difference is quite as
much as that between shooting
a gun, which is resting on
something solid, and shooting
one without q rest, where the
arms alone must steady It.
And also 1t is necessary to hit
from the inside out. That means
simply this. II we were to draw q
line from the. hole to the ball, ex-
tending it on back Of the ball, the
clubhead must come back on
curve around to the right OF the
body. inside of that line. On the
downswing the club then comes to
the ball on this same curve, and
as the clubhead is swung out after
the ball. it should cross that line
Immediately after the ball is struck.
Keeping the arms well in ana
controlling the swing so that 1t is
not overdone. constitute what is
ordinarily referred to as compact
ness in the swing. and this is es-
sential to control on all iron shots.
And. If the player begins by stand.
ing too far from the ball, 1t be-
comes exceedingly difficult to main.

A meeting Of tho state board of education held during the past week showed the importance of dental rarc i'll the schools, a matter which has been stressed in Berlin by Miss Mary Griswold. superintendent of schools, Miss Ivy Dolby, visiting nurse. and the keusington League of Women Voters. The labors of Miss GrisWold and Miss Dolby have been extended over the last two years, their reports ill the annual report for the year in 1927 strcssinS the need Of dental care of school Clil- Grcn's teeth. At a lecture given at inc town hall few weeks ago, un- der the auspices Of the kensington League of Women Voters, figures were presented to show the condi- tions existing in the teeth of school children.
 The local authorities have cX- rrcsscd their pleasure of the plans of the state board which should re- lievc the conditions to a little extent. However, the action of the state board proves that the work Of the local workers is a very worthy and important matter.
 At the meeting of the state board the following slogan was adopted: "A health examination, including dental, for every pupil in the public schools of Connecticut before No Ncmber l. 1928" This action of the board comes as q climax to seven Nt, ,,, d state school health program, now under the direction of Dr. Allen C. Ireland. The board will invite other interested organizations to partlci- pate in the campaign for general examination of public school pupils by a physician and a dentist. Com missioner Albert B. Meredith has 1 cen appointed by the board to cm- phasize the health program.
 He will also cndeavor 10 secure tho cooperation Of several societies and groups most interested. The campaign will be carried on through civic clubs. parent-teachcr assocla- lions. chambers of commerce. local school physicians, teachers and county and state medical and dental societies.
 The cxamna lions will be given by local or nearby physicians. not by state health officials, it has been stated and local health officers will not be called into the campaign
