WHATEVER change Jones had

with the outside hope Of CIV

about on the final round, was dissi-
pated today by bad "break" on the
short third green.

on the first two holes, where he was
showing more of his old touch on the
greens, but was annoyed by grind
ing motion picture camera as he ad-
dressed his tee shot to the l50-yard
third green, lying just across small

to ask the cameraman to suspend
activity for the moment. and then
hurried his stroke. The ball pumped
into the middle of the water, cost
him a penalty and he carded a dis

From there on it was all uphill.
Jones had no less than Sax brides as
he gambled at every chance to cut
down his score He hit some magnlfl-
cent wood and iron shots. He ran
down two of his longest puts ot the
tournament, a 15footer for deuce
on the seventh and 3O-footer 1or
another on the thirteenth, but ne
also missed three short puts. He
failed to get down 4-footers on the
fifth and ninth greens. He jaooed
and missed 2-foot putt on the long
eleventh. where he seemed to have
clinched another birdie. On the
other hand, he nearly sank ms plCch
shot on the sixteenth, the ball stop
ping barely a foot from the hole 1or

on the seventeenth by a great cnlp

within inches of holing another ac-

WITH such finish Jones needed

engineers mean that If the shaft is

the freedom from vibration when the

If an engines shaft is not in bal

veal dynamic balance, since any initial

Is abused or neglected.
To avoid having the engine develop
serious troubles that cannot be reme-

rules better than to avoid anything
that seems to strain the working parts.
Refrain from racing the motor. Keep

One reason why cars can skid even
when the brakes are well equalized,
the tires new and the streets not too
slippery Is simply because too much
braking force is applied suddenly.
When the car is accelerated, even
normally. its weight tips forward in
such way as to lessen the pressure
of the rear end on the road. This up
sets braking distribution and usually
causes the rear wheels to slide II

the sensible thing to do is to release
the brakes momentarily until the car
regains its equilibrium and then apply
