Members of the University Colt

ing of this century. He has also
played with the new type which was
manufactured and distributed among
the stars of the game in order to get
their opinions.
1T seems to me-" says Jim, that
the new ball will defeat it's own aims.
1t is sought to cut down the distance
on shots and make it possible to
build courses on less ground than is
tiema nded now. The aim is to make
the long hitters of golf play two full
shots on the longest par four holes
instead Of employing a drive and
light iron as they do now.
"In my experience with the
new ball I found that II cut little
distance from the length OF my
tee shots and full woods from the
fairway. l lost some distance,
but not enough to make the long
game any more difficult. And
would not be surprised IL the
majority Of pros found my ex-
periences to be theirs also.
"It was in the play from within
$50 yards of the green that / found
the larger and lighter ball to be most
different from the 1852 OF this day.
Having more surface and less weight
[ noticed that the new ball rose
much faster. The greater surface
gave increased traction on the air
and quicker effect.
You have noticed the way the
SO has, when it has been properly
hit, of seeming to hold sort of still
before starting on the downward
flight. This condition took place
Just about the time the ball began
losing it's spin. Well. with the lighter
ball. this halt in flight took place
earlier than would the ball now in
use.
"The present.day ball is suffi-
eiently small and heavy to have
boring in propensities. 1t had
enough to it to. fight against out
side conditions. 1t made the ball
easier to control. in fact it is my
belief that the popularity of golf
today is largely due to the fine
ualities of the ball now being
used. But all this is beside the
point.
''The closer TO the green, the
harder I found the big ball tn
control. that is, when compared
me that placing the handicap on
the short game in golf is not
what the golf associations seek.
"On the green the difference in
the balls is most noticeable. In the
first place even the slight increase
in size makes it that much harder
to get into the cup. Secondly, the
larger surface and lack of weight
will permit it to skip and hop after
striking the smallest impediment.
The 1852 would hardly be affected
by contact with the same obstruc.
tions.

Perhaps the bigger ball will be
more easily controlled by the aver

possibility. But I have no feeling
that the more skillful men will have
the same experiences.

important health and beauty builders.
From the years when being overweight was
fashionable, to the last five years of extreme an
gularity, women at last have arrived at the happy
medium OF soft, rounded curves, suggesting fernininity
IN its finest and trueSt form. Unless modistes, beauty
experts and physical ~culturiStS are terribly wrong this
mode will prevail for years to come, since it is such an
ideal combination of sanity, health and beauty.
Out-of-door sports which put the muscles md
mind to work simultaneously are the keynote to this
new vogue, with golf, tennis, handball and rowing
leading in popularity. for the Summer months to
come. Each Of these sports offers different muscular
action, yet in the major points they are essentially
the same.
Rowing brings every important muscle Of the body
into play. The action of the upper body really begins
at the toes because, unless we have a foot board to
press the toes against the entire body is thrown out

me to go with the other one. The
one I value most as a friend says
that I must decide which one I am

to see things as they are. Both Of
these boys have told me they love
me.
Please advise me what to do to
keep the friendship and respect Of
both. BLUE EYES.
Blue Eyes: The fact of your be-
engaged to neither of the young men
gives you the right to have as many
friends as you please. Explain to
them that you like them BOTH, but
are not in love with either, but that
you want to retain their friendship.
This may waken them to a realiza-
ton Of their own feelings and you'll
find out exactly how they both feel
toward you.
