to relax, that he get as comfortable as
possible in his stance at address.
There is nothing for the player to
gain by planting his feet on the
ground as if he were post. Tension
and stiffness in the address make 1t
of smooth working swing. The first
average mistake, due to this stiffness,
Is a fast, hurried, jerky backswing,
followed by q fast, hurried downswing.
Ease and comfort at address will at
least help in this respect"
The Next Moves.
"WHLAlII LlI.a'. are the next two 'ussss'
THE first is that he start
his left side turning as he starts the
backswing. If he leaves this left side
behind, which most golfers do, it will
never catch up. To me one of the
most important fundaplentals is turn
ing that left side. There is no other
way you can complete your backswing
and get into the correct position to
start the downswing.
When that left side turn is made,
I would suggest that he then develop
the habit of cooking his wrists at the
top Of the swing. As a guess, would
say that 80 per cent of all golfers
either don't cock their wrists at all or
else only in feeble way. When they
fail In this detail they throw away
most of their power. They have only
their shoulders and bodies to hit with
This accounts for that righ side swing
ing inward-for the right shoulder
coming around instead of down.
As 1t Works Out.
"IF THE left side isn't turned prop
erly and il the wrists-especially
the left wrist-are not cooked.
there Is no power at the top of the
swing. There is little with which one
can hit the ball any distance at all.
Feeling this, the average golfer attempts
to make up his power with a shoulder
and body lunge-often by hitting with
the right hand and arm from the top
Of the swing
1T is my belief that if every golfer
would cultivate more ease and COM
fort IN his stance, II he would relieve
tension and stiffness in the address, and
would be sure Of turning his left side
and cooking his wrists-if he would
only make habit of these important
flmdamentals-the change would be
both noticeable and pleasant.
There Is strict need of proper con-
centration to bring this about. No
fundamentals will take care of them
selves: And one of the hardest things
in golf is this matter of correct con-
centration, of thinking of the right
thing at the right time, when the big
mistake is attempting to think of too
many things, rlcst Of them unirnpor-
tant"
You think these suggestions viii be
of value if carried out?" Jones was
asked.
They are certain to be of value, if
carried out" he replied. "But the great
difficulty is in having them carried out.
The average golfer will concentrate on
them for only so long. Then he will
switch to something else. Which means
that he will be right back in the middle
Of his own muddle once more. But at
least here is something for him to work
on, II he will only give these sugges-

THE play saw Bronko Nagurski,
once a terror as a fullback for
Minnesota, shoot long pass to
Bill Hewitt, one-time Michigan end.
Hewitt. after spearing the pass and
running 10 yards down the field, hurled
the ball laterally to Bill Karr. The
Giant defense was caught mapping as
1t closed in on Hewitt. Karr was in
the clear when he grabbed the ball
and he dashed on, eluding a pair of
Giant tacklers, to the goal line The
play was good for a net gain Of 38
yards and the national title.
Jack Manders, another former Min
nesota fullback, with Nagurski, were the
yeomen of the Bear attack. Manders
in fact, kicked three field goals to keep
the Bears in the ball game during the
first three periods. He gave the Bears
a 3-to-0 lead In the first quarter with
a 20-yard placekick. In the second he
kicked one from about 40 yards out to
make it 6 to 0. and split the uprights
with another in the third to put his
team back in the lead. He finished
up by kicking for the extra point after
the final touchdown.
Harry Newman, Michigan's all
America quarterback in 1892 arose to
heights in the game and his passes
alone almost defeated the Bears. Late
in the second period he used just three
tosses to cover 81 yards for a touch
down, the last one settling into the
arms Of Morris Badgro.
