Ulster in Northern ireland.
2. Giving India full national
freedom NOWi
3. Releasing Immediately from

ACaU for Help

'eNow that the World series is
over" writes a fan, show about
helping out a few of us buffers?
Some time back you wrote some
thing about live hands in golf. How
do you get live hands?"
Dead hands and dead wrists are
usually the result of leg and body
tension. This tension tightens up
both hands and wrists, and leaves
nothing left but a shoulder or body
lunge.
The average golfer doesn't turn
nearly enough and this has the tend
ency to lock the wrists at the top
of the swing. There must be a
feeling of hand control over the head
of the club, since the head of the
club is what you are supposed to
swing.
The main idea is to get the hands
around and up. This can't happen
if you hurry the backswing and don't
turn left shoulder and left hip far
enough. Body action must work with
the hands, not against the hands.
Just keep trying to loosen up and
turn a little more.

Walking Lighthouse

In a wonderful world there are
many queer professions, but rank
ing high among the strange ones
is that practiced by a Chinese
coolie living in Chungking.
At night he can be seen walking
around the dark streets with a
lighted candle measuring some
eight inches stuck in the top of
his skull. In return for a small
zee he will guide you to your des-
tination.
When very young his parents,
apparently, had cut the top of his
skull, inserted a candle which
they held in position by sealing
wax, and sent him out on to the
street as a guide to travellers.
For many years now he has
done this queer job, and must
surely be the only human eight
house" in the world.

THIS matter of expecting even the
= stronger football teams to win all
of their games or most of their
games is a point all of joint-if a
point can have a Joint. Even the
Yankees and Dodgers, good enough
to carry off pair of pennants, won
only two-thirds of their starts, and
football should be judged in much
the same manner.
There are too many strong teams
in the field today for old grads to
keep expecting one victory after an
other. Many have now even reached
the point of tossing out teams that
happen to have lost single game.
On this basis where would the
Dodgers have been last spring when
even the Giants beat them three
straight to open the season? AS Bob
Zuppke once said, ''Out in that
Big Ten I can lose every game and
still look good" And that might be
true.
Accidents, tough breaks, injuries
and other details can often make a
difference of two or three touch
downs in a game. The psycholog-
ical setup has wide ranges.
The main answer is that any team
playing a first-class schedule can
look back on a good season if it can
win majority of its starts. Last
season, for example, Minnesota won
every game-yet Minnesota had the
closest possible calls against Michi-
gan, Northwestern and Ohio State,
with whom just a slender flop in luck
the other way might have brought
the gallant G0phers three setbacks.
That's the way football is. One or
two breaks, especially in the passing
game, can raise an abnormal
amount of old-fashioned Cain. It has
been thatway every season, and this
should be no exception.

The NEXT Year Job

be much harder to hold in check next
spring and summer with so many
crack young pitchers on hand.
Against this Wyatt, Davis and Fitz-
simmons of the Dodgers have COM
bined total of lot years-or 108
years by 1912.
"You might also add that we can't
be expected to have another such
run of terrible luck" Hickey said.
"That will make terrific differ
ence."
The 1871 World series is now back
with the dust-gathering archives,
but they are still talking about Joe
Gordon, the Oregon Flash.
Gordon did something more than
bat 500 in the series and reach first
IA times in five games. He killed
infield drives that would have whis-
tied safely throlgh Dodger de-
lenses, and this makes major diff
ference to any pitcher.
The Yankees slipped at least four
hits to the right of second that Cor
don would have been waiting for
or at least would have handled with
out breaking his neck.
The Yankee star is remarkably
quick starting in either direction,
and he is even quicker with his
hands. AS a freshman at Oregon he
was the most promising-looking
young football player the West coast
had seen in years, but abandoned
the gridiron for a diamond career.
Joe Mccarthy wants none Of his ath-
letes playing football.
Gordon has less tension on big
days than any other ball player in
the game. There is no situation
that can tighten him up. And the
game can't show you finer sports
