obvious that about a half swing
with the mashie will be suffi-
cient here. This calls for a
stance about half open, about
midway between a full open
stance and an ordinary square
stance. The reason for this is
because you here wish to choke
your n1ashie down a bit. Now
the proper way to choke q club
1t not with your arms, but
with your stance. =.
This half open stance cuts
short your back swing, and
makes you stop half way back.
You go ahead and swing other
wise exactly the same as for
o full swing.
The use Of the square
stance for long iron shots is
not prohibited at all and
such usage is not poor form
In golf.
However, I have always
recommended the slightly open
stance for the long irons. II
the distance Is too much for
your longest iron, why not
swing your brassie or spoon
rather than press the iron?
It Is possible to regulate your
back swing to exactly what you
want through your use Of the
open stance-clear down to the
full open, which removes all
body turning from the back
swing. Therefore. first de-
.termine when you survey q
shot how much back swing you
will use, and make a mental
note that you will position your
feet accordingly.

Konrad HokanSon, star twirler
Of the Kendall Greeners, has been
named captain. In four games,
comprising the entire schedule Of
tn blues last year, Hokanson
breezed through with victories in
them all. For relief duties, Coach
Krug is grooming Bilbo Monaghan
and Marion Bradley, both Of whom
were successful in subbing roles in
1929.
Claude Hoffmeyer, q strapping
rookie from Missouri, has shown
promise behind the plate that he is
reckoned to land regular berth
in that department. Hoffmeyer is
a nice receiver and has a deadly
peg. Whether Claude can WELD a
wicked bat remains to be seen in
future practice drills. Johnny
O'Brien is giving Hoffmeyer hot
run for the backstopping job.
The infield will remain In
tact with one exception. A new
face will be found at the key
