r YU AMONG the vanguard of
the new-idea squad (the same
lads who are setting new tour
~ nament records in golD Witty
Cox, new Kenwood pro, is setting a
new style of chipping and putting
these days among the men who are
studying the style of the Brooklyn
Bombardier.
Not that Witty has been playing so
well, for he admits his game is rusty
and needs a lot Of practice. But
Witty, the only local pro who has fol-
lowed the Winter tournament trail
for many years, has imbibed some
new thoughts on scoring which are
In direct contrast to the style OF the
old-timers, and, he says, are strictly
in line with the new-idea squad. II
you are in doubt as to who the new
idea squad is, it is the men who are
setting the big-time scoring pace In
golf these days, among them Runyan,
Horton Smith, Picard, KY Latfoon
and some more of the youngsters who
are going to be among our future ma
tional open champions.
Chief of the innovations in WHY'S
style is his method of chipping and
putting. But if you watch closely you
will see that the Cox man has one
of the more upright swings in golf.
that his hands are very high at the
top of the backswing and that he
doesn't roll his wrists on the short
chips or the long approach puts. It's
all in line with the new ideas that are
creeping into the game, and WHY'S
mannerisms are not accidental. They
are all part of a carefully thought
out plan, cleaned from the boys who
have put in many thoughtful hours
trying this and that in the golf swing
to blot out errors, in so far as that is
humanity possible.

Keeps Ball Straighter.

Keeps Ball Straighter.
GLOW about this upright swing
on the big shots?" we asked
Witty. Have you noticed Picard and
Laffoon and some Of the best of the
younger crowd?" he questioned back.
Witty isn't a Scot, but he can answer
a question with a question. "They
found that they got better direction
when they stood up to the ball
straight and hit it with their hands
high at the top Of the backswing.
They got the same wrist-cock at the
top without too much roll and they
are keeping the ball straighter by
standing up to the ball little more
and keeping out too much body
action.
"All these things are helping to
bring the scoring down and are max
ing better golfers of the young group
of pros. We have better clubs, better
golf balls and better courses, and
gradually we are working out ideas
that help us to score. You know
every one makes errors in a round
OF golf The guy who makes the few
est errors is the one who wins, and
the whole idea of the boys nowadays
is to keep down the percentage of
errors. I'm not trying to start any
thing new, but am stringing along
with the best and newest thoughts
in this game.
Watch Witty today at Indian
Spring, where he and Roland Mac
Kenzie are due to play AL Houghton
and George Diffenbaugh at 2:30 in
an exhibition match. He has some
new thoughts on this golf thing that
may be worth while looking over.
And it looks as If the Cox man is
going to be a fixture at Kenwood.
He came there without a contract
for three months. The story goes
that he didn't ask for a contract be-
cause he might not be satisfied and
because the club might not be salts
fed. "If we want to bust up," he is
quoted as saying, 'T don't want a
contract in my way, and neither do
you" But it looks now as If he is
going to stay on beyond that three
month period.

Most Misses Are to Left.

"X7HY do you toe your putter up
w right like you do?" we asked
Witty. so you noticed that, did
you." he said. well, I'll tell you.
You will notice that most missed puts
are missed at the left Of the hole. l
toe my putter up (the heel Is ac-
tually off the groundD, so that I can
not hook the putt. I know if miss
Il I will miss it to the right. That
gives me a definite objective to shoot
for. But over and above that there Is
something else which perhaps you
didn't notice. That is that my Wrists
act like a pair of hinges. Or I try TO
kid myself into thinking they act like
that, which serves the same purpose.
Remember the old idea that a roll
of the wrists was essential IN the
chip shots and the long puts. Well,
the boys have figured it out that
there is less margin of error in these
shots if we can get our wrists actng
like hinges with the putter blade or
the chipping blade hanging like a
door on the bottom of the hinge. 1t
all sound reasonable, and it works
this hinge action. If you will notice,
many of the boys are using the same
system. You don't see them rolling
their wrists any more on the short
shots or the puts. They try to have
their wrists acting like hinges"
1T sounds to me like the old Leo
Diegel idea of gaining direction by
having the wrists work one against
the other?" we queried.
Yep, it's much the same" Witty
said. "Only We don't go to quite the
extreme Leo used. He stuck his ell
bows far out, over an exaggerated
crouch, but he did get those wrists
working like a pair of hinges. The
idea is the same, and most of the boys
among the younger crowd are using
1t nowadays"

Unsung Hero Ayerts
Further Tragedy

Within eight minutes Of the Police
alarm sounding the tragic crash of a
Western Express with a Williams
port Bus at Rockville, last Thursday
night, County policeman, Joseph We'll
don Ward, had rushed from Bethesda
to the scene of the accident admins
tering aid. Then with great presence
of mind, and showing an unusually
level head, he realized that the Rock
vile Fire Department, bearing the
manned and wounded to the George
town Hospitals, at great speed, were
in danger of further tragedy at the
huge bulkhead thrown up at Balls
Branch, just below Somerset on Wis
consin Ave.
Leaving the scene of the accident
with a terrific rush, he raced to Be
thesda, added two more red lanterns
to the Blockade of the roadway and
waved them frantically at the oncom-
ing fire engines, which bore the vic
TINS bodies, realizing that the brave
Rockville lads might not know of this
dangerous road blockade and detour.
As they applied their brakes amidst
screening sirens at the Somerset
crossing, lives were being saved from
almost certain death, both to the sur
vivors of the wreck and 20 members
of the Rockville Fire Department.
Such quick thinking and magnifie-
ent presence of mind as displayed by
Officer Ward should not go unrecog-
nized, and if the Commissioners do
not award him a medal for meritor-
ious service in time of catastrophe, at
least the public press can do him
homage.
The Citizens of his county thank
him.
