MORRISON SAYS:

allen MOkRlSON says:
When the temperature drops
and you have to put on extra
sweaters or heavy jackets you
find that you are not hitting the
ball quite clean. You don't make
allowance for the extra clothing.
The chill IN the air in addition to
the binding of the clothes limits
your freedom.
Failing TO notice this, you con.
tinue with your attempts to make
a full swing. You are checked
somewhere in your backswine or
downswing and the clubhead
doesn't land on the bali properly
The best thing to do is to make
q shorter swing. Don't try to
swing your arms back as far as
you would in warm weather. Be
content with about three quarters
OF your full swing.
Keep a firm hold on the club
with your left hand, keep your
head in position until well afser
impact and you'll get appreciably
ns much power as you did from
Ne longer swine.

Battle
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.


NEW YORK. Nov. %. PAThG
traditional Thanksgiving combina-
ton Of turkey and pigskin holds
sway again Thursday. but from the
nation viewpoint the football part
Of the menu is only an appetizer
for the more important Saturday
card.
On the basis Of the seasons per-
formances, New York's own scrap
between New York University and
Fordham Is the ranking game. al
though In Importance it scarcely
compares with Saturdays Army
Navy. Yale-Princeton and South
ern Methodst-Texa Christian
clashes.
Other high spots Thursday are the
Colgate : Brown encounter ano
Pennsylvania IS. Cornell which leads
IN age and tradition.
In the south such classics as Van
observation-disclosures. Kentucky Tennes-
e and North Carolina-Virginia; IN
the midwest the Kansas Missouri
and Oregon state enc-un-
tiers, and the Rocky Mountain con-
ference'S title clashes, Denver-Colo-
RADIO and Utah-Utah State, help 70
round out the program.
N. Y. U. Is undeteated over a sew
en-game stretch, but Fordham,
which has played a much harder
schedule. is the favoTite.
N. Y. u. Is a leading and willing
candidate for invitations TO either
the Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl games
January /, but isn't likely TO get the
call to either without q win over
the Rams.
Some 10000 fans were expected
20 turn out TO see how good the
chances are.
Tougher Trays
The Cornell-Penn clash. ordinarily
one OF the casts biggest. is just an
other game. Penn has lost four
games but still locks far too strong
for a Cornell team still in search Of
its first victory OF the season. The
dope favors Colgate over Brown,
Temple over Buc1neIl, and Pitt over
Carnegie Tech in other leading east
ern games.
Closer contests should be SYRIA
cuse-Maryland and Catholic-N North
Carolina State. which brings east
ern teams against Southern confer
ence rivals. Nebraska should beat
Oregon State, and the Xavier-Cen-
tenary clash looks like a toSs-up.
With the Southern conference race
settled and the Southeastern title
hanging on Saturdays Louisiana
State-Tulane result, interest in the
south centers on the Vanderbilt
Alabama clash. The winner OF that
will get the title if Tulane should
upset l. s. u. North Carolina should
whip Virginia handily in the older
group. while the Virginia Military
Virginia Tech affair is a purely pri-
vate battle.
Denver and Utah state. each win
ner Of five out of six Rocky Noun
tain conference games, face stiff OPP
position from Colorado and Utah
respectively. The latter pair have
won four games and lost n each.
Oklahoma, experiencing a revival
under Biff Jones, should take the
honors in its clash with Oklahoma

the Kansas-M Missouri clash In the
Big Six or the Texas-Texas A. g. M.
game in the Southwest conference.

New York, April 25-UP)-- Last year it was Dick Williams. The year before it was Bernon Prentice, and the year before that it was Sam Hardy.
 Now it's a fancy-handled gentle man by the name of Walter Dc Lacey Pate who, having beer named as our Davis cup captain is giving off optimistic noises re- garding our cup chances. l have never seen a Davis cup captain named, but I hear that it is done at dignified little ceremony which ends with the nominee being handed rare musical instrument known as the optimistophone.
 The optimistophone, which has been q treasured possession of the United States Lawn Tennis asso- citation ever since Tilden's legs gave out, and which has been hand ed down from captain to captain, is a wind instrument. Only hot air will work it. It has another pe- culiarity, too. In the spring, be- fore the tennis season starts, it gives off only the sweetest, most encouraging notes. But by autumn, no matter how hard it is blown nothing but excuses, alibis and re- grets vii trickle from it's shoot.
 MT Pate. I see, is of the opinion that all America has to do to win back the cup from England is to change the tactics of its players.
 ''The way to whip Fred Perry and Bunny Austin" he says, "is to attack and keep attacking. Take Winner Allisan against Perry in our own national finals last year. Allison dropped the first two sets before he began to take the net consistently. Attacking won him the next two, but he was too ex- hausted to add the fifth. Had he gone to the net from the start he undoubtedly would be the cham pion today"
 He'd be no such thing, MT Wal ter De Lacey Pate. If he had start

GOOD GOLF
By BILL KLISH

In golf the left hand does more than just guide the club in the direct path. Most golf CTS believe that 1t does a slight part of the work, but this is not true because if the left hand is placed on the club in the proper position it will have a great amount of hitting power.
 The best way to make the left hand useful is to place 1t more over the top of the grip so that tho fiat side of the wrist will bc facing the ground. In this case the V formed by the thumb and the first finger will be pointing directly over the right shOul- der. In this position the left hand has tremendous hitting power. suggest that the golfers practice this until the left hand feels cOmforta ble because at first it will feel ~"itc awkward. Every golfer sho:. Id at least try this to find out the real benefit of the left hand. Make this a part of your game on every shot. Always remember this Do not have the back of the left hand facing the hole as there will he no power maintained because this is not the hitting side of the hand.
