DOCTORING
YOUR GOLF
By DR.. CARY MIDDLECOFF

PATIENTS COMPLAINT
Iron shots BATTLE me-"
DIAGNOSIS: Failure to hit
down and through.
TREATMENT: Today's illus
tration shows a golfer who has
correctly shifted the bulk of
his weight to the left side at
the start of the downswing-
just as he should have done.
The drawing does not, of
course, show the start of the
downswing. but it does show
the correct position just before
impact. And this correct posi-
ton cannot possibly come about
unless most of the body weight
is shifted over to the left side
as the downswing is begun.
The action indicated here is
the cure for most of the bad
iron shots you see. 1t shows the
player hitting down and
through the ball.
The opposite action-and the
thing to be avoided-iS keep
ing the weight back on the
right side. This makes the
player tend to SCOOP the ball
up with a faulty hand action,
and his iron shots will gen.
orally be high, short, and off
line.
Note that the hands are
ahead of the clubhesd as the
ball is about to be struck.
Notice also that left hip is turn
ing around to the left. These
are points to work on to i'm
prove your iron play.
A PROBLEM WITH YOUR
STANCE? If this we'll known
bug fouls up your game, try my
Chart Guide for Correc
Stance" This sll-new booklet
should correct any stance prob
lem you may have. Get yours
by sending l0c and a stamped,
self-addressed envelope to me.

Are Sif-doWn
Strikes Against
Neqro Leaders?

New York.-The recent student
sit-down strikes in the South are
not just protest against segrega-
ton, but a revolt against the
Negro leaders and the NAACP.
This is the argument advanced
by Louis E. Lomax, himself a Ne
gro, writing in the June issue Of
Harper's Magazine.
Neither the advice nor the aid
Of recognized Negro leaders was
sought until after the students had
set the policy, engaged the enemy,
and joined the issue" writes Mr..
Lomax. BY forcing these organ
izations not only to come to their
aid but to do their bidding, these
militant young people completely
reversed the power flow within the
Negro Community"
For many years, says Mr.. Lo-
max, the Negro masses were led
