BY SOL METzGER.

Bobby Jones says that the secret
OF good putting does not lie in me-
chanies, but In smoothnesS of swing
and ability to concentrate upon the
idea of holing. Yet Jones method.
now an automatic part Of his game.
Is based on certain mechanical fea-
lures that others stress.
Take his stance, heels almost to-
gether with the left foot back a bit.
This open stance is common to all
good putters. It permits. one to fin-
ish the stroke turned a bit toward
the hole-the position of q golfer
when he has played a good shot
with another club
Jones also plays the ball of his
left heel. That insures giving it
roll. Bobby's puts run smoothly,
the ball taking an overspin. Still a
third feature Is that Bobbys eyes
are over the ball and the putting
fine. All these are mechanical con-
tributions to the success of a putt,
just as is Jones grip for this stroke.
For the putt the first finger of his
left hand does the overlapping,
rather than the little finger Of his
right as in his other strokes. This
lets him get the feel" or touch"
with his right hand. In addition,
the back Of Bobby's left hand faces
the cup, his wrists working in oppo-
sition to each other. All these are
mechanical features stressed by most
good putters. They help to keep the
clubhead on a predetermined line.

THE SECOND SHOT

"ROM what I have heard in my

4 Alex Smith came as close as

preston comes from hearsay rather
than actual observation.
There are so many excellent expo

it's hard to name any one to head the
list. However, I don't suppose any one
is much better than Tommy Armour in
laying these delicate shots up to the
pin. If there is / haven't noticed him.
So for the time being. at least. we can
rate Tom as the peer of any one in
making this sort Of shot,
I've seen so many beautiful chips that
it's difficult to pick any particular one
as the best of the lot. AS good as any

make my chip shots with the regu-
lation Vardon grip. The left hand is
firm and the right fairly loose The
right hand is overlapped and both
hands are down on the shaft. 1t is
obvious, of course, and perhaps doesn't
need mention. that this Is entirely a
wrist shot and that the emphasis Is
given with the right wrist. The back
swing depends on the distance you
have to make, but you must come
through sharply. There can't be any
flabbiness on the shot II 1t Is to be
successful. The weight Is on the left
foot.
You know some players get credit fol
being excellent putters when large
share of the credit Is due to the way
they lay their chip shots dead. Hagen
for instance, puts beautifully, but he
sticks so many of his approach shots
up to the pin that he leaves himself
only comparatively easy putt.
It is shot well worth cultivating.

A basket ball attack that is cut
and dried and without variation to
meet the hundreds of conditions that
do arise In game is soon bottled
by the defense. That Dartmouth has
variety to its three-men-down attack
goes without saying, If one will look
at its floor scoring record this year
and last. The Green knows how to
reap the reward of offensive effort.
One of its best stunts, when either
one of its forwards or its center, the
three players who drive. In on attack,
gets the ball within far range of the
basket with the immediate opponent
coming at him fast, is for this player
to make q bluff at chest shot for
the basket, as shown In the upper
panel Of the accompanying drawing.
This causes the opponent to leap to
knock down the ball. But instead of
shooting the ball Is held by the player
and he dribbles around said oppo-
nent before the latter RECEIVERS, gains
a position much nearer the basket
and then takes his shot.
This bluff Of pass or shot Is one
of the old tricks. of the game. It
seems just as effective today as ever,
probably due to the fact that every
player likes to appear tricky and
smart and such. q move gives him
his chance.
