Fine Comeback.

NEW YORK, January 25.-The fel-
~ low who said they never come
back" apparently wasn't ac-
quainted with either the New York
Rangers hockey squad or Wilt Guide,
the youthful goal tender of the Mon
treal Canadiens.
The Rangers, who dropped to the
bottom of the National Hockey
Leagues American division at the
start of the season and seemed to be
there to stay, finally have climbed
into a tie with the Detroit Red Wings
for the third notch following an ex-
citing 3-to-3 draw with the section
leading Chicago Blackhawks. 1t was
their eighth straight game without a
loss in the comeback squirt.
Guide, who saw IA goals sail past
him in two games the Canadiens
played against the New Workers, rail-
lied to take the stellar role last night
as the Flying Frenchmen beat the
Maroons, Q to /, and tied the New
York Americans for third in the in

Three College Teams Finally Get Action in Dub Week Examinations
Grid Makes Men.
AS Harlow Ayers
BY LAWRENCE FERRY.

NEW YORK, January 25.-Dick
IN Harlow qualified as foot ball
coach who looks beneath sur
faces and evolves original thoughts
out of ground long mentally worked
over. in his speech to Harvard
alumni of Washington at a feast
over which Representative Hamil-
ton Fish of New York played host.
II have never seen," said Dick,
"a man who has played foot ball
heading an atheist society or lead
ing a Communist parade"
Chances are that no one else
has. There is a rugged integrity
about the game of foot bali which
attracts men similarly geared and
very largely such men only. Out
Of the personal self-Sacrifice, cour-
age, gameness, self-control, devo-
ton to a cause and team spirit
which the gridiron game demands
of youth are evolved an ecstacy, an
eXaltation which work fine things
in the chemistry of a boys soul.
Often it brings him to prayer,
often to tears, and always it opens
to him visions that in a fine, big,
manly way are beautiful.

THE SPORTLICHT
Corrections i'm Minor Fundamentals
Turn Mediocre Linksmen Into Stars.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
? JACKSONVILLE, Fla, ia.

= JACKSONVILLE, Fla, January
25.-What turns a pretty fair
golfer into a star?
Many who apparently have
fine swings-who hit the ball we'll
never get anywhere-or they get to
a certain spot and then stop.
put this query up to Leo Diegel,
to whom many of the pros go in time
of trouble, when the old game begins
to slip.
"As a rule" Leo said, sit is over
looking what you might call certain
minor fundamentals, which may be
major fundamentals. I'll give you an
illustration Jimmy Thompson, one
of our longest hitters, gave early
promise of being one of our best golf
ers, and yet he was not moving up
where he belonged with his power
and his swing in general. This was
partly due to a faulty method in the
grip of the thumb and forefinger of
the right hand. This may seem to
be a minor point, but it isn't"
"Just what was this fault?" I asked
Diegel.
IF you will notice the right hand
grip of Jones, Armour and others, you
will see that the thumb and fore
finger are spread out or extended a
trifle-giving more freedom and more
leverage.
TN Jimmy's case this thumb
and forefinger were pinched in
there was also tendency at the
top of the swing to let the club
shaft drop into the open w
notch.
"In the correct golf grip, two i'm
portant points are firm gripping with
the little finger of the left hand and
correct use of the thumb and fore
finger of the right. The fingers must
have some spread-not be all cramp-
ed together. It is from the right gril
that you get the first start in power
and control together. And many a
good golfer has no control under
pressure because his grip is wrong
or at least has some flaw. Yet you
can't make the average golfer believe
the grip is important"

And Then Sometimes.


TTERE is an angle the average
II golfer will appreciate. II was
playing last Winter with Tommy
Armour" leading pro said, land
Tommy was scoring from Sc to SO at
Pinehurst almost every round. He
was turning perfectly. Later on in
the Spring I played with him again
and he was up around rs or rs.
you're not letting your body turn
as you did two months ago. said
to him. I know I'm not Armour
answered, but I can't help it. For
the last few days I get around just so
far-and then lock. I can't help it.
But just at this time the freedom isn't
there"
What causes this?" I asked.
Probably staleneSs," some one said.
Either too much teaching or too
much playing, or too much of both.
When you get tired or stale there is
a quicker tendency toward tension or
tightening up.
1T is on these days that you
turn only part way-that you
hurry your swing-that you look
up quicker-that you jab your
chip shots and stab your puts"
"And I can tell you right now,"
Sarazen said, that if you want one
of the greatest fault makers in golf,
can give it to you-too much golf.
I mean too much conservative golf.
day after day. I ought to know, after
having played 100000 miles of golf
in the last IL months
When the average golfer gets stale
or tired" MacSmith said, "he hardlv
turns at all. He just lifts the club
with his right hand and then calls
on his body and shoulders to get dis
tance. AS you get a little older you
have the temptation more and more
to do this, lifting instead of swing
| ing. It seems so much easier. 1t is
| something to be watched at all times.
You can't take 1t for granted. You'll
find under these conditions that most
average golfers just stand hat-footed.
There Is no action in the left ankle.
The left shoulder ducks under instead
of coming around. The left hip hardly
moves. All this, of course, is a ter
rible thing for both direction and dis
tance. You can't hit the ball straight
and you can't hit it far"
"And don't forget" Sarazcn
added, "that If you are going to
play any kind of golf you must
have a picture in your head or
mind of what you are trying
to do.
"If you have no such picture, then
it's all just jumble-a jig-saw puz-
zle. This is another factor that
lot of fine looking golfers must face

Other Points.

"VYJHAT other points have you in

I'D like to finish with the hands
first" Leo said. "Get the right grip
largely a finger grip-and keep those
two hands firm but flexible. Be sure
they are active hands and that they
are keeping the face of the club
where it belongs.
Here's another point. We have
a young golfer who should be much
further along than he is. But he
has a tendency to keep too much
weight on the left leg and left foot
during the backswing. He Is afraid
of swaying. The result is that, under
pressure, he is almost certain to keep
even more weight on the left side,
and so start hooking. They say he
cracks In a pinch. 1t isn't that. It
is merely fact that in pinch, under
pressure, every fault gets much worse.
II is always the weak spot that breaks
