THE SPORTZICHT
Building Up Left Side Regarded Best
Exercise for Golf Game Improvement
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

exercise or indoor practice, which
Alex Morrison advocates, as follows:
Stand fairly erect, with the feet not
too far apart, and practice swinging
the clubhead with both hands on q
level with your shoulders. In taking
this exercise, make a point Of letting
the left side turn well around on the
backswing-even to the point Of
exaggeration.
Only a limited number of golfers
ever let the left side turn far enough
on the backswing, as q good part Of
the weight settles on the right foot
and right leg.
This exercise Is q fine method
Of breaking down an old fault or
habit and setting up a correct
system in its place.
Mere exercise is little fun. But
when it is leading to a definite objec-
tive it becomes far more interesting.
II Is important TO remember that
each of these indoor workouts must
be backed up mentally-with direct
thought on what you are doing and
why you are doing it-with q mental
pattern in your mind that you are
trying to reach.
The mere physical act Of Just swing
ing a club will mean little.
There must be a goal in sight-a
reason for each general move you
make, which is more difiicult to work
out when there Is ball waiting to be
hit.
-~f ,lyr hal
physically. but they can be big aid
on the mental side. especially in the
way Of concentrating on certain
fundamentals.
This concentration or thought
usually is blown apart-entirely
forgotten-when one steps up to
hit a ball in a certain direction or
to some fixed distance.
The sight OF that golf ball, plus
bunkers and traps on ahead, seems to
tie the entire human system up into
series Of knots. The golfer Is no
longer thinking Of correct swinging.
He is thinking only Of hitting the ball.
A few days ago heard one duffer
turn to his cacdie with this remark:
Boy, you've got a cinch job. All you
have to do Is fnd the ball. I've got
to hit it."
In the blind, cropping search for
better form the main idea is to build
up right habits-physical and mental.
Here is a method or system which will
help make the coming Winter more
pleasant and more profitable.

Form Building.

YUST as a bird dog gets the scent
of a quail, so golfers in the
~ Northern zone have sensed the
approach Of coming SHOWS. The
winds soon will be in from the barren
lands. This means that some Of them
will be heading South or West for the
sun, while others face the long Winter
that soon will lay Spring another
stymie.
1t also means that most Of them are
just about where they were last year
or a year ago in a swinging and a
scoring way, still seeking the mystery
Of technique and form.
"Just what il the difference" one
Of them asked, between technique
and form, anyway. and how can
get either-especially form?"
I transferred part of this query to
Bobby Jones.
Technique" he said, "is the knowl-
edge Of how strokes should be played
Form Is the action that follows A
golfers technique may be limited, but
his form in playing certain shots may
be good"
This applies to both golf and
bridge" P. Hal Sims said. Few peo-
pie realize that all games are based
largely upon pace and timing-bridge
as well as golf. There Is a certain
rhythm essential to success and 1t
can't be broken.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
A NNAPOLIS, Md, November 13.
~ Contrary to the general be-
~ lief, the Navy will not be
greatly outweighed by Pitts
burgh, which 1t meets at Annap-
oils next Saturday, not nearly so
much as it was by Notre Dame and
Washington and Lee, and this cir
cumstance is one of the things which
encourages the local contingent
greatly.
Pitts players are no pygrnies, but
the power Of its team depends more
on the speed and coordination of its
plays rather than mere weight. Also,
its players are mature, experienced
end brawny. Undoubtedly, it will be
the best, but not the heaviest team
Navy has met this year.
The Pittsburgh team averages
17s 6-11 pounds, by no means a big
team, as the weight Of the leading
teams 60, and Navy averages 1T ILL
pounds, a difference Of trifle less
than two pounds and a half. Pitt
does not have a player in its first line
up who reaches 200 pounds. The
Navy has the mighty tackle, Slade
Cutter, now weighing 214 pounds.
The superior weight of Pittsburgh
Is almost entirely in the backfeld,
which Is topped by the lusty Vein
stock, 191 pounds. Its average is 1T
pounds, to ITO for the Nays. The
lines average, Pittsburgh. 1877 2-7
pounds; Navy, 1e1 1T pounds.
The largest attendance at any ath-
letic event which has taken place at
Annapolis is assured, and 1t generally
is believed that it will be outstanding
as an athletic contest, with eyes of a
great part Of the foot ball world
turned toward it. Pittsburgh will be
picked by the experts to win, but they
have picked three other opponents of
the Navy to win this season and none
has done it.
A Navy victory would place the team
in the front rank of Eastern elevens
and establish it alongside Of the
championship Navy team Of 1926
which, by the way, was piloted by Tom
Hamilton, quarterback, now head
coach of Navy foot ball.

M Der l3.-This Is the story
v v of Bill Shepherds personal
duel with Art Strut Of
Duquesne for the 1894 high scoring
race on the gridiron.
Strut has scored II touchdowns
for a total score Of 102. He has had
eight games to do it in.
Shepherd has scored 13 touchdowns
kicked for the extra point is times
and made two field goals. An even
100 points is his mark.
Western Maryland has yet to play
Bucknell, Mount st. Mary's and
Georgetown.
Duquesne has yet to play Carnegie
Tech and Catholic U.
Western Maryland as team has
scored 146 points-Shepherd making
two thirds of those points himself.
Duquesne has scored 3O8 points and
Strut has made one-third Of them.
Averages 1873 Points.
TOR the six games Western Mary
L, land has played Shepherd has
averaged 1923 points per game;
Strut has averaged l2% points per
game.
Shepherd has done all Of his scor-
ing in four of the six games his team
has played-Western Maryland being
held to a scoreless tie by Villanova
and winning by safety over Cath
olic U.
In seasons past Shepherd has been
at his best against Bucknell. He was
on the Bucknell all-opponents team
in both 1892 and 1888 and last year
drew an extra citation-"best man
we've met all year."
Bucknell already has met Strut
now for Shepherd. Western Mary
lands dynamic back is in fine form
for the coming week end battle. And
his injured mates are all back In
shape, too. Had not the Terrors
been so badly crippled against Cath.

might now be far out in front o1

substitutes in the lineup, did moi

Some Alumni Kicking.

WE HAVE had some dissatis-
!" faction this year among some
of our alumni, as we have a
losing foot ball team, but we have only
so much material and from it can be
expected only so much in the way of
performance. Our boys are doing the
best they can and no one could ask
more. We are not opposed to scholar
ships and other help for athletes. pro-
vided such help is open to all students
and provided athletes who are recip-
tents Of II measure up as do other
students to merit such help. We are
opposed to help for athletes because
they are athletes. ,
"Virginia has for years been build
ing its own policy. 1t has won 1alr
share of its contests in many branches
of sports, but If it has won or lost
we feel that it has built for itself a
place in the respect of other unlVer-
stiles, and in holding its own sell
esteem, that is far more valuable tnan
any victory or victories it might nave
won on the foot ball field"
Driver, in stating the situation at
Virginia, as he sees it, gives about
the highest ideal Of intercollegiate
athletics. And he has practiced what
he breaches. Since taking charge OF
athletics at Charlottesville Driver has
engineered the construction Of a new
stadium, many tennis courts, new
athletic fields, and established new
equipment for intramural sports, and
thus has given to Virginia students
at large facilities they never had be-
fore. And, to add to what he has
done at Virginia, Driver has estab-
lished himself in the confidence of
other universities to an extent that
few other athletic directors enjoy.
In his conception Of intercollegiate
athletics and physical education Jim
mie Driver is years ahead Of his time,

and alumni continue to support him

Finding the Lost Road.

DUT how Is the average golfer, or
ID those who shoot somewhere in
the 80s, to find this lost road to
form? How are they to improve?
Here they are nearing the end of
another season just about where they
have been for years.
What can they do about 1t? There
Is at least one answer that is certain
to help. provided the golfer has a
place where there is room enough in
which to swing a club.
For example-what is one Of the
basic fundamentals Of form in golf?
1t is the proper use Of the left
hand and left arm.
What Is one of the major faults?
1t Is the overapplication Of right
hand and right arm power, with the
left throttled.
Suppose we start from this point.
The next move, naturally, is to build
up the left hand and arm-to bring
1t into instructive use. So one Of the
best exercises you can take is to grip
the club in the right way, with the
left hand placed fairly we'll over the
shaft, and swing the clubhead in this
fashion with the right hand hanging
by your side.
In this practice, you let the left
side turn and you swing back and
down on an inside arc.
You will soon begin to build up
the grip and control Of the left
hand, which in most cases is much
weaker than the right.
You also will help develop an in
stinctive feeling Of starting the back
swing with the left.
A Certain Help.
X/OU will flnd that most Of the
I leading pros will indorse this
idea Of building up the left
side-the weaker side.
II recall some years ago." Bobby
Jones said recently, "that George
Rotan suggested this form Of exercise
in regard to putting-just to hold the
club in the left hand and practice
stroking with no ball to tap. It is q
good way Of working away from faults
that so often creep in when you are
not looking"
This workout, practice or exercise
with the left hand only Ii worth .
