Club over the jumps yesterday in a
four-man team competition at Wash

of this match was won by Washington
by a 2 and l margin.
IN addition to the four who repre-
i sented the Hilltop In yesterdays
match, there are two more strong
players at Georgetown who probably
will make the team. Although George
town is without the presence this year
of Maurice j. Mccarthy, former inter-
collegiate champion, the Hoya team is
well balanced and Of considerable
strength. Wilson, Beger, Boucek, Stat

pective team member, all are good
enough to win golf match from any
one and all are capable of knocking, the
ball around any course in rs or better.
The golf yesterday was not so hot as far
as scoring was concerned, butthe George

crown perched on top his head. Young
Jack Thompson, San Francisco Negro

The golf swing is straight left

play. That being so, one might well
wonder how the swing for the iron
can be made more vertical than for
the wood. All the experts say they
so play the iron.
Perhaps the method of Harry Var

the line Of the shot when he reaches
the top. They do not turn, pivot, as
they do when he plays the wood.
The cause for this abbreviated
pivot Is that he locks his right hip
going back. Then, instead Of the
hips rotating, they slide laterally to
his right. Coming down they slide
to his left. This permits him TO
make the vertical-like swing that
features the iron play Of most stars.
