dangerous golfer, particularly
over a course he likes. And this
may be the year he'll win his third
title. Despite his blowup, Guldahl is
cool, almost icy, golfer.
The Mighty Atom
Little Ben Hogan, a 132-pound
chunk Of dynamite, Is one of the
longest hitters golf has ever known,
regularly getting 2S0 yards of the
tee. While Demaret was moving at
q breath-taking clip, Hogan was
right on his trail. He led the winter
and spring field with an average Of
70.5 strokes per round through IL
medal play tournaments. He broke
10 in IL tournaments, and at Pine
hurst, Greensboro and Sheville, heI
led the field by the astonishing mar
gin Of Is strokes. He played four
major tournaments against killing
competition, a total Of 288 holes, 32
under par for one Of the truly great
records Of golf.
Byron Nelson, present OPEN
champion, is a determined, hard
fighting finisher. He is just the Cpl
posite of Demaret in that he can't
relax. He takes his tournaments
seriously, and is always keyed up|
to the tournaments end. Despite|
his tenseness, he doesn't discourage
easily. In the last Open, Nelson
started with a 70 that might well
have been an 80 or worse. He saw
more trouble in single round than
he usually does in tournament.

In the de luxe salons, losing a
few pounds here, an inch or two
there is a pleasant task, indeed.
A soft-voiced instructor not only
will teach you how to do the ex-
ercises, but will do them with you.
For some unknown reason, this
seems to help. When you leave
the satin exercise mat, you'll be
put in the capable hands of a
masseuse whose efficacious method
of messages has a double purpose:
to reduce your dimensions and to
ward off any muscle stiffness
caused by the exercises.
Another system of reducing
makes use of specially construct
ed, mechanical gadgets which
take the place of a masseuse. A
well-equipped salon of this type
contains a machine to reduce the
hips. another the legs. still an
other the waistline. and so on.
Least expensive Of all are the
gymnasiums where you may do
exercises or play games with or
without supervision. Ten young
business women I know meet
one night week in a gymnasium
of this type and play basketball
for an hour. A group of women
who do not go to business take,
at a nominal cost, a swimming
lesson one morning a week. In
any city, however small, there is
some place. where women, intent
on keeping fit as well as trinity
slender. may meet regularly to
play games or do exercises.
For the woman who finds 1t
quite impossible to go to a gym
or to join other women in a CO.
perative plan of reducing. exer-
cises to be done at home. a long,
brisk walk every day and a sens
ible diet surely are the answer.
The daily walk is wonderful for
the complexion as well as the fig
ure. of course.
To slenderize hips and thighs,
rolling routines are recommend
ed. For the waistline, bending and
stretching exercises are best. To
make the stomach flat. repeat this
routine ten times a day:
Lie flat on the floor with ankles
together and hands clasped on
chest. Keeping hands on chest and
feet together. slowly lift legs up
ward until they are perpendicu-
