THE SPORTLICHT
by GRANTLAND RICE

IF the golfer had TO make just one
resolution for the new season, what
should 1t be-?
To practice to greater extent
the study Of relaxation or relaxed ef-
fort?
To concentrate more upon the i'm
portance and necessity Of body turning
on the back swing?
To stand more erect and so put the
body in better position to work with
the hands and arms2 Es
To tighten the tenseness of the grip
and slow down the speed OF the back
swing?
To work out the correct use of the
left arm, one Of the foundations of the
swing? E
To see that the wrists did their
proper share of the job2
These are among a few resolutions
that could have a pleasing effect upon
ones play. The main trouble in golf
is remembering even one resolution
after arriving at the first tee. And, If
1t is remembered, then it usually is
forgotten by the fourth tee.
Concentration on soFnething you like
to play seems simple enough, but II
isn't. Not one in Thousand can con-
centrate correctly on the right thing
at the right time. This can come only
through mental training. It isn't one
of those things to be taken for granted
as most golfers seem to think. No
swing operates by ITSELF through In
stinct.
If any golfer would concentrate upon
the right use of the left arm and the
right method Of body turning, letting
the left shoulder and lett side come
around freely, he would soon begin to
make certain improvements in his play
The average golfer has no idea how lit
tie and how badly his left arm works
in his swing.

KEEN TITLE GAMES
LIKELY TOMORROW
Tech, Defending Champion,
Faces EaStern-BuSineSS,
Western Clash.

TOUR quints were getting in
r final ticks today for the
4 opening games of the public
high school basket ball
championship series tomorrow

champion, win meet in the opening
match at 1880 o'clock, following which
Business and Western win take the
floor. Central will make its debut
Tuesday, meeting its old foe, Tech.
1t Is not often that so important a
game as that between Eastern and Tech
comes at the very start Of the title
schedule. These teams generally are
regarded as having the best chances to
grab the championship in a series
which, most observers figure, will be
unusually hard-fought.
Eastern has a seasoned club, appar-
emily strong in all departments. Tech,
which has won the Championship for
the past two seasons, also has shown
power. The game tomorrow should be
. battle in the fullest sense Of the
word.
Business and Western should put on
q merry scrap. Both the Stenogs and
the West End boys have done well in
pre-series tits.
Likely Starting Line-ups.
Eastern likely will take the floor
against Tech with Kane and Lieb as
forwards; Noonan, center, and Shirley
and lola, guards.
Techs starting array probably viii
include Russell and Reichhardt, for
wards; Beach, center, and Reed and
Wilson, guards.
Lucas and Sherman doubtless will
be at the forward posts for Business
when the Stenogs line up against
Western, with Duryee at center and
Nemerosky, Chatlin or johnson at
guards.
Iatona and Fox, forwards; Buscher,
center, and Amidon and Summers.
guards, Is the likely Western starting
array.
The Mitchell brothers, Joe and Or
rel, who have been oficiating at bas-
ket ball and coaching the sport here

for the series games.

WI DtSsiAAA AOAAFNtcAts Va 6eANAhloiSJs
MARYLAND jumped out IN front Of
III Gallaudet IN the game at College
Park and had O 16-to-2 lead be-
fore the game was many minutes old.
Old Liners were going to win by Q
tremendous margin. but those who
thought that way reckoned with
out considering the qualities inherent
in such athletes as Cosgroye, Rtngle and
Weidemann Of Gallaudet.
When these three men finally got into
action they went In with vengeance,
Cosgrove getting IL points and the
other. two each.
Cosgroye was chief scorer Of his team,
with goals from the floor and from
the foul line Chalmers led the Mary
land players with 5 goals from the
floor and from the foul mark. Norris
got 5 goals from the floor, Berger. 4,
and Ronkin, 4, which divided the Mary
land scoring pretty well among four
men, which by the way, is q rather sat
tsfactory situation in basket ball.
It was Marylands first game, and 1t
played Just about as 1t was expected to.
C-ach Shipley was worried about the
Gallaudet team, knowing the scoring
propensitiez OF Ringie and Cosgrove,
but except for some few lapses In hold
ing tight the defense. Shipiey has little
to criticize in, the first appearance of
his team. The passing was in the main
good, and the accuracy in shooting
actually was better than anybody had
any reason TO expect 1t to be.
