Many Angles to Port
Eyes PIoy in Sports
By GRANTLAND RICE,
Correspondent Of The Star.


Is there a major eye in competi-
ton, whether right or left, or do
both eyes function about equally?
This matter has been brought for
ward from a number of sources and
passed along to your correspondent
for comment. In turn, we have
passed at least part OF the buck
along to Bobby Jones, since the dis
cussion began over the head posi-
ton in golf.
1t has been my belief that fitting
the chin slightly to the right was
done largely to help keep the head
in q fixed position. This chin tilt
ing was emphasized by Jerry Trav-
ers, Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones.
among others, who together have
won around 80 national golf titles.
In this head position the right
eye could be of little use
Here was Bobby Jones answer to
the problem: Il think quite often
there is a major eye, whether right
or left. I couldn't say 1t is univer-
sal, however. In my own case. it
happens to be the left eye. I've
found that out in golf and I've
found the same thing is also true
in shooting.

Old Eyes Big Hondicop,
Tilden, Hagen Find

Bill Tilden and Walter Hagen will
both tell you how important the eye
is in tennis and golf.
Legs? Yes" Tilden says. But
the eyes play big part and as you
grow older they bring along no small
handicap"
One of the first things that be-
gan to bother me in golf after many
years" Hagen said. was my putting.
1 know part of this putting slump
was due to my legs. You can't keep
the touch or the balance you need
on tired legs. But I've also found
the eyes play a big part. This
comes about in trying to judge dis
tanceS.
1T also affects putting in a big
way. There was a time when I
could take one quick look and catch
the right line. I can't now. Even
on the shorter puts 1 may be an
inch to the right or an inch to the
left because my eyes failed to line
up the hole correctly"
The point brought out by Bobby
Jones is important. If you are
right-handed and want to keep your
chin in place. it is an easier Job
when the left eye is the master
sighter For If the right eye wants
to get better look, to take over the
assignment, there is the temptation
to move the chin forward and so
move or lift the head.
Keeping the head in place still Is
more important than anything else.
