Dark Horse flinders
Nelson S Drive for
Miami Golf Gold
kunes Hits IS to Tie
Open King; District
Pros Out Of Meet
BY the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec 16.-National
Open Champion Byron Nelson,
fighting an uphill battle for the Ma
tons golfing supremacy, shared the
lead with dark horse today as a
sensational-scoring field reached the
third round of the $4,000 Miami
open.
Little-known Gene Kunes of
Philadelphia came out of yester-
days twilight shadows with a
sparkling 66 to tie Nelson at 1877
at the halfway mark. The ma
tional open kings chief rival, Henry
Picard, was three strokes back
Nelson not only had chance to
overcome Picard's flve-point ad-
vantage and win the Harry Vardon
Trophy, but a revised tabulation
gave him a shot as top money win
ner. The corrected money stand
ing gave Nelson 1884; Picard,
$10,2O2.
Kunes Is Machine like.
Kunes got no attention at all with
his flrst-round II, when Nelson and
seven others shot 68s, but he turned
the tournament into a madhouse
with his our-under-par 66. the best
score to date. Machine like from
tee to green, the Philadelphia, who
operates winter driving range at
Hollywood, Fla, accounted for five
brides and bogeyed only one hole.
Nelson, combating a wicked cross
wind that had subsidized when Kunes
came in, scored SO, his second sub
par card.
Scores of 149 or better qualified

final SO holes in the tournaments

Ralph Guldahl, always a danger
Gus contender, stayed up near the
front with a par 10 for 1873, where
he was even with E. j. CDutch) Har-
rison of Little Rock, Ark. Guldahl
came back with a scintillating 80
as his putter began to work on the
back nine.
Snead Disappoints.
Denny Shute, former British
open and P. G. A. champion, shot a
10 to 139. He shared that spot with
Johnny Revolta. another exp. G.
A. ruler; Dick Metz of Chicago and
Ben Hogan, White Plains, N. Y.
The rounds disappointment was
Sam Snead of White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, who blew himself
to a 70 after an opening 68. Nine
others were punched at 14O.
Washingtons contingent fell by
the wayside as the brilliant field
hacked its way through the rounds
in the low 70s and high Cos. Lou
Worsham took 73-72-155 and Bob
Barnet had 76-77-153. Cliff Spen-
Ger topped both scores, but was far
out of the running with 71-78-
149.
Spencer reached his peak at the
thirteenth hole, where he canned
his putt for a birdie 4, but the high
wind which blew his approaches of
course wrecked his game. He
bogeyed eight holes, one of them a
buzzard 6 on the par 4 seventh.
Spencers putting touch also desert
ed him and he wasted several
strokes on the greens.

overtones of flu and grippe. While
not exactly at deaths door, he knew
the way there. A fight on the NOR
row was out of the question.
What question are you talking
about?" demanded Gen. Phelan.
'Never mind. Don't answer that.
We will send our trusty medical
staff to examine the truth of this

Perched on lofty limb with the
New York Rovers in a tie for the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League top
spot, the amazing Washington
Eagles tonight will attempt to cling
to that pleasant position when they
clash with he Atlantic City Sea Gulls
at Atlantic City.
Their fifth straight victory tucked

Joe Dutton of the Skeeters viciouslv

Some Things to Watch
On Your Downswinq

In the same way he asks that
on the downsWing you now turn
your attention to the right ankle
and the inside of the right foot.
This takes good part of the weight
off the right foot as the left foot is
back in place before the moment
of impact. 1t prevents locking the
right for the follow-through
1t is shift of weight from the
left foot to the right-and then
from the right foot back to the left.
1t is Morrison's idea and belief
that rolling ankles and feet back
and forth is the surest way to get
this needed foot action, which so
few average golfers have.
AS Henry Picard, P. G. A. cham
pion, expresses it, Correct foot &C
ton is one of the hardest things
to get in golf Only few have it."

ton of balance, and there can be

Moin GoIfine Troubles
Stort With Feet

1t is my belief that most Of the
main trouble which assails the aver
age golfer starts with the feet and
then moves up into tight and highly
tensioned legs. From there 1t goes
to the mid-section and the upper
body.
The average golfer gives you the
appearance of being afflicted with
dead hands" or dead wrists"
You know the main idea is to
take your hands and swing the
head of the club. This is Ernest
Jones effective method of teach
ing This works out extremely we'll
for those golfers who can concen-
trate on this plan alone.
But for great many golfers
there first must be some act to re-
lease the two feet from their heavy
contact with the ground. Some
thing must be done for these golfers

the swing-to keep them from turn
ing over most of the swing to the
body and shoulders, which in turn
completely throttle the hands.

Look Out for Chandelier
In Practice at Home

There is widespread tendency
either to stand fat-footed through
the swing-which isn't balance-or
to leave too much weight on the left
foot and the left leg at the top of
the swing. This in turn locks up the
entire left side, prevents correct
body turning and ties up the left
wrist
BY having you bend or roll the
left and right ankles-the left and
right foot-you release the action
of both feet in place of feeling that
both are planted in the ground
II you will take a club, either on
the course or in your room, and
try this scheme out you will get a
clearer picture of what is needed
On the backswing just let the left
ankle turn inward, also the inside
of the left foot. On the downsWing
let the same thing happen TO the
right ankle and the right foot.
1t is a perfect exercise for the
home as long as the chandelier Is
out OF range, the piano isn't too
close or the ceiling isn't too low.
Just back and forth-left and right
left and right-until you feel that
your feet no longer carry shackles.
