Bobby Jones keeps his head down
even after the ball is well on its
way. So does about every pro and
amateur golfer OF note. Keep your
head down." is a golf slogan preached
the year round from coast TO coast
everywhere the game is played.
Bobby admits. by the way. that he
doesn't concentrate on looking at the
ball. The reason he holds his head
down. as In the sketch above. is TO
prevent clubbing the shot
We have often wondered why a
golfer has to keep his head down.
To do so means sitting an impulse

local pro, experiments were con-
Quoted. The idea was that II one
can thoroughly understand an axiom

II you will stand as you would to

you will find that both arms raise
up slightly. In other words. this

that looking up invariably causes
topping because It pulls the arms
away from the ball
The main idea In keeping the head
down is 10 prevent this lift OF the
arms. The purpose Is not TO look at

perfectly fine drive blindfolded. That
has often been proven. But 10 do

ger, who was arrested last Thurs

which charged him with smuggling
liquor into the United States.
Although Levine, president OF the
Columbia Steel and Tube Corpora
ton, and two other officers OF the
company were indicted on Decem'

yesterday. so carefully was the GOV

tary.
Levine appeared at the Federal
Building last Thursday to surrender
to the indictment. He was released

through the breast, after laying on
top of the manuscripts his will,
which left his $4,000 estate to his

had painted pictures praised by good
