drive" ! was told.
am in agreement with the
statement often made by accom-
plished players that the import
ance Of the tee shot is overrated
by beginners. 1t is quite true
that in order to become a first
class golfer the long and straight
drive is an essential part OF ones
repertoire, but at the same time
1t is possible to attach too much
emphasis to the importance OF
the shot from the tee.
It should not be forgotten that
the drive admits Of comparatively
wide degree of inaccuracy, since
the average fairway is at least 40
yards wide, and it is more or less
easy to propel ones drive so that
1t finishes thereon, even allowing
for quite an appreciable deviation
from the middle.
To come down to the final
ANALYSIS, the drive represents
an attempt at securing dis
lance without absolute regard
TO direction.
One has a safety limit" of at
least 40 yards in which to place
ones shot and, having SO placed
it, one can legitimately feel that
the stroke has been more or less
successful. 1t is when one
reaches a distance from the hole
within which strict accuracy OF
direction las distinct from mere
diStance) determines success, that
the Importance of the former be
comes apparent: in other words
when one is playing o shot within
the range of an iron or rnashie.
At such q juncture the ability
TO hit the bali huge distances
diminishes in value, and the abil
ity to propel the bali in giver
direction increases In Importance
AS the distance of ones ball from
the hale further decreases, thu
value Of accuracy Of direction
continues to increase.
This It becomes obvious
that the chip shot assumes .

golfers realize.
| Most novices. fascinated by thu
lure of mighty tee shots, are in
clined to think: IF only I car
drive immense distances from TIL
teeing ground. it does not matte
very much how ! play the Euhse
quent shots"
The professional, with his widel
experience, has Numerically op
posite views to these. He think

Major Factors
An article by L. A. Brophy, Asso-
ciated Press feature editor. explains
the four major factors which stand
out in President Hoover's plan as
follows:
Development of an air defense
under the flve-year progressively
expansion program of 1925.
Increased expenditures for army
housing.
The cruiser building program Of
the navy.
The exhaustion Of war time sup
plies.
Two of these same factors, avia-
ton development and exhaustion of
var supplies, apply equally to in
creasing naval costs. With the navy,
however, one of the main prospec-
tive upward jumps OF expenditures
has to do with the construction Of
new cruisers.
What will happen in that regard,
as President Hoover has pointed out,
depends on the success Of negOtla-
tions for further naval reduction
treaties.
The Presidents announcement
that he would appoint a board Of
army officers within the general
staff to find out what al be done
toward reducing military eXpendi-
lures, has like a stone cast into a
quiet pool, caused many ripple5 Of
speculation as to where and when
reductions might be made.
Mechanizing Studied
At a time when the business of
mechanizing the war machine is Of
increasing interest and import to
all nations, the projected study OF
costs has caused wide discussion.
The President has pointed out
that the national defense outlay for
J 1888 will be sos, 900 600. some $780,
