JOCK could make golf ball sit up

Fred Mcleod can do much the same

so many players nowadays use
clubs which are too heavy for their
wrists" says Fred. They don't hit
the ball sharply enough with those
heavy tools, and they hit and hope it
will stop-a kind of a praying shot.
You've got to have these short shots
under control all the time, and to do
that you have hit them sharply and
fairly hard, trusting to the loft Of
the club to do the work. OF course.
the ball must be hit down; that's
understood. Every iron shot should
be hit down. But to do the fine work

they go in for light clubs. They want
to hit the ball sharply, with maximum
backspin, and so they choose clubs

Fred's own pitcing clubs are prob
ably lighter in weight than those of
any pro around Washington. He uses
that tiny-faced little mashie- -niblick
with which he IS famous all over the
world. With that instrument he can
make the ball bite in and spin back

he'll make 1t stop plenty fast II the

BOYD IS HARD PUT

Must Depend on Shiftiness

to Win Title.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.


IF THAT tattered adage which says
something about the best defense
being strong offense still is run
= ming true to form, then Eastern
High will have its foot ball troubles
Actually, half of Coach Artie Boyd's
gridiron problem already is solved. He
has what he admits should develop
into a crack defensive club, but when
you shift the conversation to offense
he merely wrinkles brow and shrugs.
Since Eastern scored only 13 points in
the interhigh series last year, Boyd's S
pessimism in that respect hardly Is
misplaced.
At the same time, however, you re-
member it was Eastern which held the
championship Tech team to a scoreless
tie last season, so the years labor
hardly was regarded as failure, de-
spite the Lincoln Parkers' fourth
place position.

Gene Davis and Russ Kendrick. backs
Jim Moran, end; Clarence La Sale
220-pound tackle, and Joe Spigone

sizable gaps, yet Boyd seems to have
the material to replace them without
seriously hampering his eleven.
The backbone of the club will be
Bill Kemp and Al Kidwell, both all
high products last year and rugged
though not hefty lads, who are the
personification of spirit and team
work. Kemp, normally center. has
been converted into back by Boyd
and Kidwell is slated to grab the
barking job again.
An emphasis on speed and shift
ness is Boyd's backfield pattern largely
through necessity, since nearly all his
ball-toting candidates are light. Kid
we'll weighs only lat, while Kemp is
only pound heavier. Dick Best ane
Paul O'Brien barely break into the
140-pound class, while Doc Murray
and Paul Hook scale slightly over $50

you play the short pitches

'em so light that you can get that
wrist-flick, which is so important in
stopping a ball on a fast-putting
green.
That's Fred McLeod's advice to
golfers who would achieve the busi-
ness of making the ball sit down fast
of the short pitching clubs; that and
getting prope- wrist action into the
shot. How can any man lacking
unusual wrist strength hit the ball

answer is-he can't. If you look

HUMOR FOUND
IN OLD WILLS

BUFFALO, N. Y, IUP)-Although
wills and last testaments are not
usually HUMOROUS, Joseph E. Bright,
Buffalo insurance man, has uncov-
cred some gems.
For instance Bright revealed,
there is the captain of finance who
wrote:
ITO my wife 1 leave her lover,
and the knowledge that I wasn't
the fool she thought I was.
ITO my son, I leave the pleasure
of earning living. For 25 years he
thought the pleasure was mine. He
was mistaken.
ITO my daughter, leave $780,
900. She will need it. The only good
piece of business her husband did
was to marry her."
A merchant-apparently burden
ed with an extravagant wife-direct-
ed his lawyer to make my will so
my overdraft at the bank goes to
my wife-she can explain it.
II want six of my children Tor
pallbearers-they have carried me
so long they might as well finish
the job the merchant directed.
These and many others have been
collected by Bright in a slim vol
ume named ITO Will or Not to Will

of writing wills and planning es-
