TOUR TO BE MADE
BY FINNISH CHORUS

THE chorus OF the University Of
Helsinki, Finland. composed of so
male singers, will make an American
tour next season, opening with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, DR..
Serge Koussevitzky, conductor, on
December 81 and January l in Boston
and in New York on January 6.
This chorus, known in Finland as
the "Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat," ab-
breviated "Y. L." was founded in
1888. From its very beginning, the
principal aim of the founders was the
creation Of Finnish choral music and
they have contributed largely to rais-
Ing the standards Of the Finnish
choral singing to its present high
level.
Prof. Heikki Klemetti was its first
conductor, and remained with the
organization for IS years. The chorus
is now conducted by DR.. Martti
Turunen, who has occupied the posi-
ton for the last six years.
During its existence Of over SO years
the position Of the Y. L. Chorus in
the musical life of Finland Is mani
tested in the fact that many Finnish
composers have written and dedicated
much Of their music for male chorus
to the Y. L. Chorus. Jean Sibelius,
who Is an honorary member OF the
chorus, has composed all Of his most
famous male-chorus music for this
organization. On the forthcoming
tour. the programs will be devoted
exclusively to the music OF the Fin
nish composers.
The Y. L. Chorus has given concerts
in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Swift
zerland, Austria, Hungary and Italy.
The organization will visit this coun-
try under the auspices Of the Inter-
collegiate Musical Council, Marshall
Bartholomew, president, which last
year presented the Budapest Univer-
sity Chorus and committee Of prom
inent Finnish-American citizens. In
America, the sponsoring group is
headed by his excellency, Zero Jarne-
felt, Minister of Finland at Washing
ton.

Playing in this years St. Angus tine pro-amateur, on his wife's birthday, March IT., Byron Nelson broke his No. 5 iron.
 The masters champion borrowed one from his partner, Bobby Dur- kelberger, and holed the tee shot.
 Nelson and all other accomplished golfers guard against holding the club too loosely.
 When the club is held too loose ly at the top of the back-swi.lg it falls over the shoulder and is thrown out of line. @
 On the other hand, gripping the club too tightly causes all muscles used in making the stroke to be- come tense. This is decidedly wrong.
 Walter Hagen has the solution for the player bothered by faulty gripping.
 If the right hand grips the club too tightly, touch. is lost" says the Haig.
 Hold the club more firmly with the left hand.
 "As the club is started down, a f1rmer grip is taken with both hands.
 "As the ball is hit. the grip should be as firm as possible with out stiffening the wrists"
 The old maestro should know.
