BY ART KRENZ.

If the top of the backswing is
reached with the weight properly
balanced the thing to do then Is
hit down. toward the ball. Beware
Of hitting forward or around,
which is swinging the shoulders
around toward the left instead of
swinging the arms down.
This hitting down instead of
around is only matter of keep
ing the head steady as an anchor,
instead of allowing it to drift to
the left, which happens when the
shoulders swing around too much.

NIT bids. It Is hoped, Sauvain said,
to have the cottage completed before

ton has waiting list Of about 60.
