Jimmie along with James Lass

glory when he can argue about the
game Of golf From what I'm told
he should move HIS he'd and tsle-
phone 10 the golfnR green in the

Several welI.knOwn Twin
Citians hoping 10 improve their
games have enrolled In golf
classes at the University Of Min
nsSOta under the tutOrship Of
Les Bo!stAd. former prOsessiOnaI.
u you want TO improve your
game that certainly IL a step In
the right direction.
After hearing so much about the
game for so many years my curl
Osity got the better " me. so on a
warm day In iO42 this columnist
decided 20 swing u few on driving
tee. ] was NJ sure Of complete sue
cess that | didn't bother to even
cast one glance at any distance be
low 100 yards. Anyone that cant
hit that size ball should have his
head examined. I said 10 myself. /.
Lining myself up with perfect
form $50 thought let loose with .
n lusty swing.
When I finished that swing I
looked more like q snake charm.
eT with her faVOTite boa con.
strlctor around the neck. Any
resemblance I might have had Of
even beginners golfers form was
purely accidental. While trying
20 untaRgle myself, I was bust.
ly squirting ahead 10 see Just
how far above the $50 mark my
drive went. The ball was still
perehed serenely on the tee as
white a. the day II came from
the factory. That cured me Of
any Dragging remarks about how
easy the game was.
Wallace Returns 10 the
Cindsr Battle
PuEEy Wallace Is quite the hap
by and relieved fellow these days
since he shook his scholastic diffi.
culties. Jim Kelley was happy
about this bit Of news and will
probably utilize Wallace's services
in both the 100 and 22O yard
dARhes.
PuEEy Ii very modest about his
ability but with Bill Mathis Of ILL.,
nois having eligibility troubles his
chances In these two Sprints Of An
ishing high in Biz Nine competi-
ton are good.
