Tales of a Wayside Tee
by CRANTLAND RICE.

There is something about golf that
lends more to overtenSion than any
other form of competition. It may be
the lack of swift movement, the delay
between strokes. But the pressure on
the nervous system is heavy, because
there Is not enough active motion to
tighten it.
What should the average golfer con-
centrate upon, in the main? Certainly
not upon results, which is thinking
ahead of the swing. The important
point is, first, to visualize the stroke to
be played-distance and direction and
then concentrate upon smoothness that
involves the action of the clubhead.
After all, the ball is NIT with the
clubhead. Any action that tends to in
terfere with the speed of the clubhead
on through the ball is all harmful. The
fundamentals of the swing include the
natural turn or pivot of the body on
the back swing and after this down
swing that is made without lifting the
head too quickly.
Golfers, in their concentration, fire.
quently remember every detail except
giving the clubhead its chance to hit
through the ball. Every one, at one
time or another, has concentrated so
heavily upon the line of the putt that
no thought was left for hitting the
ball-which usually stops from one to
three inches short. Getting the correct
line is no help if the ball stops short
of the cup-which rarely moves to meet
the ball halfway.
Frenzied or highly tensioned concen-
tration is worse than nothing. The first
mental picture concerns itself, or should,
with distance and direction. The next
is the elimination of all outside details
where the main idea involves smooth
ness, ease, rhythm, lack of conscious
effort or whatever yol care to call the
affair of hitting with the clubhead.

stage AGAINST CALLING
A FUMBLED BALL DEAD
BY the Associated Press.

TAMPA, Fla, January Coach
A. A. Stage of the University Of
Chicago, here on a vacation, said
he would oppose a proposed change
in foot ball rules governing the re-
cOvery of tumble for historical and
"thrilT' reasons.
The rules committee OF the ma
tiOnal coaches organization, of which
he is a member, was asked to con-
slider an amendment under which
ball fumbled by one team would be
declared dead at that point If re-
covered by the other.
Stage said he would vote in the
negative, because the present rule
had been in use since foot ball was
begun and because the change
would do away with one Of the chief
opportunities for thrills.

NY something in the nature of a
- bizarre coincidence, two Sug-
gestions have come in regarding
IL New Year resolutions for golf
ers through 1929.
One suggestion is that golfers resolve
to put more thought upon concentra-
ton, in place of shambling along as
they continue to make habit of old
mistakes.
The other suggestion is that golfers,
in order to obtain greater ease and
smoothnesS and relaxed effort, shut
down upon too great concentration,
which so many have.
Strangely enough both are right in
their premises. But there is firmer land
between the two contentious. For the
trouble is that the average golfer gives
quite enough effort to concentration,
but he picks the wrong target. AS a
rule, he is concentrating upon results
rather than causes. OR, if he happens
to concentrate on causes, he scatters
his concentration over too much land
scape.
Nearly every golfer, at one time or
another, suddenly remembers something
around the twelfth or fifteenth hole he
should have thought about on the first
tee 1t might have been lighter grip
ping, a smoother back swing, a more
determined effort to let the body turn.
For example, in the last United States
open at Olympia Fields, Johnny Farrell
had two bad rounds of putting. He was
playing ably up to the green, but he
was then having too many three-putt
green's and missing too many three and
four footers. Starting his third round.
he suddenly decided that he had been
overconcentrating, had been gripping
the putter too lightly and losing some
of the smoothness of his stroke. From
that point on his putting was brilliant.

GAS ROYALTY TO

States Share of Profits from Ken

For Education
Clark v. Savidge, state land
commissioner, and F. w. Hastings,
chairman of the senate land COM
mittee, made an inspection tour OF
the Kennewick gas fields Friday.
The state owns between 25 and 30
per cent of the land composing the
field.
State school funds will benefit
largely from development Of this
land, for the state secured under
ground rights on all state lands in
1907. At the present time the state
is receiving 60 cents an acre from
the lease, but as soon as oil or gas
is put on the market in quantity,
the state will collect a royalty of
IL 1-2 percent. Part of this revenue
will revert directly to the state
school fund, Savidge said.

The period from October z to

time during which all drivers
are called upon to have their cars
inspected not only as required by
the Motor Vehicle Code of Wash
ington, but also for other possible
defects which would impair con-
troll and safety devices of the car.
Cole has called upon all law en-
forcement officials Of the state 70
assist the highway patrol in furth-
ering this safety movement and
in lending their assistance so that
every registered motor vehicle in
Washington may be made safe
mechanically. The cooperation OF
the press, automobile clubs, cham
Der of commerce and all civic or
ganizations has been asked by
Cole, in order to sreduce the haz-
zard to HE and property occasion
ed by defective and improperly ad-
iusted automobile equipment"

will be subjected to examination
upon the request of any interest

will also be looked over 10 see If
they are correct as to grade, quail
ity and condition. The investiga-
ton may extend to car lots, with
a report on the condition of the
car.
1t becomes apparent, as the ap-
pie harvest goes on, that extra
fancy grades will be short, and the
shippers are adding from five to
ten cents on each box to take ad-
vantage of the shortage, which is
general among all varieties.

Hermiston Bows Before Ken
newick Team at Saturdays
Game; Linden Unsatisfied
with Work of Own Men .

With two touchdowns made by
Bill Frazier, the Kennewick eleven
won 1870 the game with Hermis-
ton last Saturday. McGahey kicked
the try-for-point.
The game was characterized by
many fumbles on both sides. The
playing was of the same caliber
as that exhibited at the Grandview
game and Coach Linden will de-
mand great Improvement before
the season gets into full swing.
The thrill of the afternoon came
when Hermiston intercepted for
ward pass and dashed within two
yards of Kennewick's goal. They
were held for downs and the ball
finally went to the Orange Phan-
toms.
Coach Linden sent in a large
number of substitutes to give as
many men as possible experience
under fire. Punting was relied upon
by both teams to put their goal out
Of danger. End runs and line
plunges accounted for most of
the yardage gained by both sides.
