yards from ground zero.
Leap-frogging over them came

velopment tactics, similar to those
carried out IN World War II by

Illustrated here is my nine iron
stance (open stance). AS the
number of the club decreases
the stance gradually closes. The
ball is played from a position
on a line which if extended back
would be approximately 2 inches
inside the left heel. I have used
a series of golf balls to show
that this relationship between
the ball and the feet is constant.
The distance between the feet
is determined by the type of shot
being made. Perhaps you will
understand the relationship be-
tween the positions of the feet
and the clubs if I start by ex-
planning the positions of the
feet for short iron shots. A good
key to the variation of your
stance in iron play is to remem-
ber that as the numbers of your
irons increase, /. 2, 3, etc, the
width of your stance decreases
and also opens.
Both knees should be flexed
at all times. What's more, they
swing in toward one another.
This bending, however, isn't ex-
aggerated. You shouldn't feel
that you are knock-kneed, for
instance.

Worsham Provides Climax.
Ard to climax the top season
in the history of the sport, mil
lions of Americans we're thrilled
beyond description last Sunday
night when the American Broad
casting Co. brought into their
living rooms the picture of a
man winning $4,000 on a single
golf shot. From the comments
heard since Sunday. most of
Washington must have been
tuned to WMAL-TV for one of
the most dramatic of all tele-
vision presentations.
Worsham, known chiefly as a
former National Open champion
to the golflng set, now is a house
hold name. People who didn't
know golf scores from race
charts will, from a curiosity
angle, be watching the tourna-
ment results, asking: How did
that fellow Worsham do, the one
we saw sink the shot on tele-
vision?"
Some who never before at
tended golf tournaments will be
out watching. even though Ho-
gan and WorSham are not there
The next step is to take up the
game.
One of the top golf equipment
statesmen in the East was in
town the day after Worsham'S
shot and he was talking with
several pros about Eisenhower
Hogan, Worsham. ETC., and how
they were good for the game.
Chief Asset Seldom Mentioned.
The fellow was saying that the
pros had not yet mentioned golf;
chief asset of the past several
seasons - courses on military
bases.

junket to Augusta in April.
Vice President Nixon, who
took up the game less than 18
months ago, already has gotten
down to 90, and he admits he's
not particularly the athletic type.
Ben Hogan became an inter-
national hero, even among peo-
pie who never have played the
game. The manner in which he
won the Masters, National Open
and the British Open, a sweep
over three of the worlds great
golf courses, brought Hogan
hundreds of thousands of ad-
mirers, and brought new people
into the game.
Zaharias Contributes.
Babe Zaharias came back after
a highly publicized cancer oper-
alton to play remarkable golf
in the Tam o'Shanter tourna-
ments of the past two weeks.

BY the Asseeietsd Press

NEWPORT, r. l.. Aug. 12.-
Almost every season there is one
tournament on the grass court
circuit in which the big boys
take their Jumps from the un-
knowns.
This year it could be Newport
and many of the top-ranked
stars were looking ahead to to-
days third round with more than
a little anxiety.
Tony Trabert, Bernard Bart
zen, Straight Clark, Ken Rose
wall and Rex Hartwig all had
to stagger through three sets
before downing their opponents
in the second round yesterday.
More important, none of their
rivals was supposed to throw up
more than token resistance.
Trabert Loses First Set.

on by the United States Lawn

the Davis Cup back from Aus
tralia, had to come from behind
to defeat Luis Ayala of Chile,

a Self-confident youngster who
pulled the only genuine upset
yesterday when he defeated Aus
tralia's Give Wilderspin, As,
IS, 6-3.
WilderSpin, although one of
the AuSSieS' lesser-known play
erS, was ranked sixth in the for
eign seedlings. But Grigry, who
has been beaten on grass this
season only by Gardnar Mulloy
and Vic Seixas, said before the
match he'd win it. and he did.
Bartzen, an ex-Army sergeant
from San Angelo, Tex, beat Cliff
Mayne, the University of Cali
fornia's No. player, 81, 3-6,
6-3. Mayne was within a
point Of winning the first set.
Rosewall Extended.

to go all out to turn back At
sushi Miyagi of Japan, 6-3,
