I'm just competitor" He meant,

Another Shakeup Due
If Hockey Eagles
Don't Improve
McTeer Fired; Germonn,
On Spot, Gets New Post
Against Olynpies

With one player already gone and
another on the spot with proba-
ton hanging over him, the Wash
ington Eagles hockey team faces the
possibility of further Shakeups IN
less immediate improvement Is
forthcoming.
Coach Red Mackenzie, without
naming names, says that several
other players are on the verge OF
being sent away unless immediate
improvement is noted all down the
line. Facing the crucial stretch
drive in the Eastern League race,
Red said that II think we have a
whale of a chance of winning and
won't let my personal liking for
any of the players influence me in
getting together the best possible
combination.
The released player is John Nc
Teer, defenseman who has been with
the Eagles since they first came to
Washington last year. Also re-
leased, but later permitted to stay
under probation, is Mike Germann,
another original Eagle. He is being
transferred from his regular wing
position to a defense post on the
chance that he may prove effective
there.
That cuts the Washington squad
to IA players, but Mackenzie is
known to be negotiating for player
with the New York Rovers to
strengthen Washington. A Cana
dian player also may be brought in.
Germann probably will get his
first trial at his new defense post
tonight when the Eagles play the
Boston Olympics at Riverside. A
victory for the Eagles would jump
them again into a flrst-place tie
with the Baltimore Orioles. although
it is likely that the Orioles will pull
away again within the next few
days when they play Atlantic City
on Saturday and Boston on Sunday.

The
SPoRTLIGH1
Plan to Stundurdize
Golf Swing Louded
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

BARLOW, Ga, Feb. IA (NANA)
If Joe Novak can carry out the
assignment thrown upon him he
should pick up some 100000 close
friends and remove an abnormal
amount of suffering in the land.
The P. G.. A, meaning the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association, has
named Joe Novak chairman Of q
committee to standardize golf in
struction and bring this instruction
to the basis of fundamentals. Novak,
the able professional at the Belle
air Country Club, veteran in
structor, has yet to name his assist
ing committee, but he at least Is
facing one of the most interesting
features in all sport.
Any experiment that will help to
keep 100000, or even 1000, 900, out
of the sanded abysses, away from
the heelprints, and lure them back
nearer the fairways, is sure to meet
the approval of the slicing masses.
1t may not work out, but it is
worth the gamble, despite the protest
from many pros who believe in their
own individual methods.
Stor Golfers Follow Some
Pottern, Says Novok
Just before leaving Southern Cali
fornia We surrounder Instructor
Novak to get his general idea.
In the first place he said, there
seems to be a widespread opinion
that even the crack golfers have
different ways of Swinging-of hit
ting the ball.
This isn't true. I'll admit their
swings don't all seem alike, but the
good ones all follow the same funda-
mentals. They all stick to the essen
tial matters of correct swinging. 1t
is these main fundamentals that we
are trying to bring about-trying to
have taught.
THE idea is that If golf pupil
has to move from one pro instructor
to another he will get practically
the same type of lesson, which has
nothing to do with each pros own
individual method of getting this in
Struction across"
Just what are these fundamen-
tal?" asked Novak.
"Of course" he said, there is the
matter of stance and grip. But I
should say the main point is the re-
lation of body movement to hand
action. This is where so many
golfers fall down. Their bad foot
and body action locks up the entire
swing and prevents any chance to
use live hands and wrists.

Power Of Hands Tripled
By Proper Body Action

"If weight transference and body
action are used correctly the power
of the hands is tripled at least.
There can be no hand power where
there is body interference. Watch
anv pitcher trying to stand fiat
footed and throw a baseball. VINO
ever saw finer body action than
Walter johnson or Dizzy Dean or
Bob Feller use? They let the
weight come from left to right and
then again from right to left as
the body helps out the arm and
hand.
TT is my idea to have COM
mittee that will work along these
fundamental lines. Different stars
NAV have different ideas concern
ing the right way to arrive at these
vital points. This is what we want
We want their angles and their
ideas. we want to work out some
fairly standardized methods that
will help improve the average play
of the thousands-even the mil
lions-wh6 make up the bulk OF the
golfer".
"I know this isn't going to be
any easy or any simple job. But
it is something that is worth trying
It is worth the gamble. We hope
to get all the opinions we can
reach before we put anything into
actual practice"
AS Novak puts it, the idea at
least is interesting and might lead
to helpful results. 1t will be an
experiment that will be watched
closely by the great army Of golfers
who pay all the bills and take most
of the punishment.

Declares Shifting Weight
AS Simple as Walking

First of all, there is the matter
of weight transference. At the start
Of the backswing the weight must
be transferred to the right leg and
right foot. No one can let the
weight remain on the left foot and
get any power or control. In the
second place, at the start OF the
downswing the weight must move
back to the left foot and left leg.
1T is just as simple as walking,
Novak continued. You move from
one foot to another, and your weight
moves accordingly. If most golfers
tried to walk as they swing golf
club they all would walk stiff
legged. Just try walking in a nat
ural way and watch how your
weight shifts.
you must first be taught to
get off that left leg on the back
swing. Then, with your head still
held in position-the anchor TO
YOUR swing-your hand and wrist
mower are released for action. Nat
1,rallv YOU let your body turn with
this movement-turn. not twist. 1t
is largely matter of balance.
Unless the golfer understands
TIE working relation between body
9nd hand action he is sure to be
helpless.
IF you watch the average golfer
address the ball you will see that he
already has locked both feet, both
legs and his body before he even
starts his backswing. He has al
ready tied himself up This is large
" due TO tension. But don't forget
that a big part of tension comes
from the knowledge that he doesn't
know no VITO use his body and his
hands in the right way.
