My instructors told me rhythm and
grace produced timing, and that timing
was the secret of golf.
I spent long time asSimilating this
idea. I practiced continually with this
in view. No doubt I carried the idea
to the extreme. My timing was all
right, but put no punch into my shots.
This helped me immeaSurably with my
short game, and I never have had any
difficulty with my pitches. They will
keep up with any ones. But though
the chip stroke is a great stroke saver
1t doesn't aid you so much If you waste
shots along the way.
My longer shots were played too
softly. When I tried getting more
power into my shots I found that in
variably the harder swing ruined my
timing and threw me of my game
altogether. On short courses / scored
well, for I never felt the need of press
ing, but when they were stretched out
to Championship length always was
under a handicap.
Well, what do you do under circum-
stances like that? had to get greater
distance or play every tournament
under handicap. When I tried to
add power lost my timing. 1t meant
the readjuStment of. my swing. The
theory of the stroke remained the same,
~ SSuASC' All AldN W uO was lcdIIl
to get more speed into my clubhead at
the point of impact. This means
throwing the right wrist through with
more power against the resisting left
without getting the shoulders or the
body into it to aid the effort. The
mechanics of my shot had been good
enough before, but never had given the
smashing power the stroke should have.
1 have partly corrected this fault by
standing on the practice tee and hitting
thousands of shots. 1t was discourage
ing at first to find myself cutting across
the ball because my shoulders were
getting into the stroke or my hands
were getting ahead of the club in my
anxiety for punch, but by gradually
applying power through succession Of
shots began to find that was getting
more nearly the distance I should. But
there still is a lot of practice ahead of
me before begin to be satisfied.

'DUTRA IS PRESSED

Leads Aqua CaIiente Field by
Stroke 0nIy-But So

A QUA CALIENTE, Lower Calf,
" January 22.-olin Dutra, the
~ Santa Monica, Calf, profess
sional, entered the third
round of the Aqua Caliente $25 900 golf
tournament today as leader of the So
remaining entrants. He was one stroke
ahead of his two nearest competitors,
Missouri'S youthful threat, Horton
smith, and Charles Guest, Los Angeles
Dutra looked to the third 18 holes
today with LAG score. Yesterday he
shot 70, the nearest approach of the
day to the II which represents par. But
he was not alone, for with him came
his brother, Mortie, of Tacoma, Wash,
whose 70 placed him in a six-cornered
tie for third position.
The stern task of continuing this
superb brand of play in order to retain
the leadership burdened Olin's Shout
ders. for there were 10 other links ex-
perts within three strokes of the top,
with 36 holes remaining to be played.
Tied with Mortie and his 148 card
were Macdonald Smith, Long Island,
N. Y. who won two consecutive victories
in the Los Angeles $4,000 open, 1928

practically half the field go glimmering,
for when the last ball had been holed

were among those stranded by the way

The most outstanding of those elimi-
mated were Tony Manero of New York,
winner of the Catalina $500 tourney
last December, and Clarence Clark,
Tulsa, Okla, receiver of the winner

meeting.
The nerve racking contest doomed
even more intense today with all OF
the money players within 10 strokes of

champion, was bracketed with Joe

artist from Philadelphia, and Harold

Miss Collett has improved her steadi-
ness greatly In the last two years. No
small part Of this has been due to her
improved putting a department in
which she was inconsistent for a long
spell. Today she strokes the ball with
greater smoothness and improved con-
f1dence.
Miss Collett is planning to go abroad.
AS the announcement has been made
that Miss Wethered, the British cham
pion, will not enter the next champion
ship, the American star will be favored
to win over any other nomination. She
is easily the second best woman golfer
in the world, and not so far away from
Britatn'S ruling queen, who hits golf
ball with Sounder form than any male
star, according to many experts.
1t has been Miss Collects ambition
to win the British woman's title, and
only the spectacular play of Joyce
Wethered stopped her last year in the
final round. where Miss Collett stepped
out in "a at st. Andrews.
BY increasing the scope of her swing
Miss Collett has also increased her con-
troll. Her iron play has improved, and,
in fact, she is a better all-round golfer
in every way than she was two years
ago.
The American champion will make a
big stab this year to win both titles
And II she can win only one of the two
major events there will be nothing to
complain about in this day and age of
heavy competition, where so MANY
woman golfers are playing so we'll and
giving so much attention to building up
a sound game.

EAST SHOWS WAY
IN COURT BATTLES
lnterSectionaI fitting Is in Its
Favor in Floor Game This
Winter.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK. January 22.-The
IN East Jared none too well in
foot balls intersectional war
fare, but it is getting some
measure Of revenge on the basket ball
court.
A more or less complete tabulation
gives Eastern cage fives a record of %
victories in 80 games, against foes from
the Midwest, South and Far West.
Twenty-one of these triumphs have
been scored at the expense of Midwest
ern teams; six over Southern aggre-
cations and one over the Far West. OF
the IL defeats inflicted on the East.
eight go to the credit of the Midwest;
two to the South and one to the Far
West.
Most active in defense of Eastern
honors has been the crack University
OF Pittsburgh quint, led by Charles
Hyatt, former Uniontown, Pa, high
school star. Pitt has rolled up IL
straight wins so far this season and
eight of them have been over teams
from other sections of the basket ball
front. Pitts victims include Indiana,
Northwestern and Ohio State of the
Western Conference, Nebraska of the
Big Six, Montana State of the Rocky
Mountain Conference, Wittenberg of
the Ohio Big Five, Iowa and Notre
Dame.
Penn, Syracuse and Duuuesne have
chalked up three intersectional tri-
umphs each. Penn beat Indiana and
Ohio State of the Western Conference
and Georgia Tech of the Southern, but
was forced to bow to Michigan in an
other start. Syracuse trimmed Mich
igan State and Ohio University and
broke even in two games with Creighton
Of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Duquesne Scores Wins.
Duquesne accounted for victories over
John Carroll of Cleveland, Adrian of
Michigan and Elmhurst of Illinois. but
the Dukes were beaten by Loyola's
great i've at Chicago as we'll as by Iowa.
The East has been extremely sue
cessful against the bigger conferences.
Pitt and Penn have accounted for five
victories in six games with Western
Conference aggregations, and against
the. Southern Conference and Atlantic
Seaboard teams have four victories
against two defeats. Georgia Tech
dropped four of its five games on an
Eastern invasion, but Duke made up
partially for these setbacks by trounc-
ing the Navy.
An even break exists so far as East
ern competition with the Missouri VAL
ley, Rocky Mountain and Big Six Con-
ferences is concerned. Nebraska defeat
ed West Virginiafto make up for its loss
to Pitt, and Montana State outscored
Penn State after losing to Pitt by one
point. Syracuse got no better than
draw with Creighton in two games.
Most of the interSectional warfare Is
over for another year, and in the few
games that remain the East hardly can
be forced out Of its commanding posi-
ton.

She still rules largely through her

good enough to beat any other woman
tennis player in the world in straight
sets whenever she is right and ready
to go.
TLENNA COLLETT has won the
~ woman'S golf championship of the
United States four times, which
happens to be record. AS she also Is
still young and strong and the best
woman golfer we have, there is no rea-
son why she should not increase this
record.
But the odds in her favor for 1880
are not nearly as roSe-colored as they
are for Mrs. Moody. Glenna Collett
will be about an even-money choice
against the field, or nearly so.
But when you consider the golf1ng
skill of Helen Hicks, Mrs. PreSsler,
Virginia Van VIE, Maureen circuit, Mrs.
Higbie and many others, you can see
that she will have no easy canter
through the golfing arch of triumph.
Miss Collett Is another woman star
who rules partly through power. She
is one of the longest hitterS among the
women, and, for that matter, is up with
many men who play from rs to 80. I
have seen her reach greens 500 yards
away in two full shots, which is long
enough for anybody.
