We would favor commission to

Just what these committees can come

PATIENTS COMPLAINT:
my putting has gone to pot. "
DIAGNOSIS: Unconscious
head movement.
TREATMENT: An easy and
ruinous putting fault to acquire
is moving the head during the
putting stroke. Just a slight
movement-one SO slight that
the player is not even aware Of
twill make you miss the
putt nearly every time.
In almost every case, this
head movement is made in the
direction Of the hole. The usual
cause Is anxiety.
The way to remedy the fault
is to go to the practice putting
green and hit several dozen
puts with the head kept abso-
lutely still until the ball has
stopped rolling. Do not try to
follow the ball with the eyes,
but keep the eyes firmly on the
spot where the ball was before
you hit it.
This practice in exaggerated
avoidance of the head-moving
fault will make it easier to
keep the head still when you
are out on the course.

When the Senators chopped
so feet of the distance to the

riers at Griffith Stadium five
years ago it was to help Roy
Sievers increase his home
production. Although Siev-
ers is gone, Jim Lemon and
Harmon Killebrew, among 9TH
ers, are happy the idea was
conceived. Twelve of Lem
on's 81 homerS here have
landed in the leftfield bullpen
or the seats in front of the
bleachers. Seven of Kille-
brew's 10 homers here have
dropped in the same sections.
Overall, the Senators have
no occasion to regret that the
distance to leftfleld is shorter.
This year the Senators
have a 46-34 advantage in
homers that have landed in
the leftfield bullpen or in seats
in front of the bleachers, with
the hasty admission that the
statistics could be askew due
to faulty Judgment in the press
box in determining the final
resting place of the homers.
If the Senators average
900 for their remaining IL
home dateS-and the prospects
are bright If the race remains
close-their home attendance
will top 100000. On the

ended last night, the average

considerable experience, and
Frank Pazzaglia, 6-foot, 18O-

passing talents, are expected
to carry the load in that posi-

Maryland Far Ahead
Of 80 in fundamentals
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
star Stan Writer

star 0LdH WIllcE
This year Maryland has
passers who know how to throw
a football and receivers who
know how to catch it. And
while that may sound elemen-
tary, most football coaches
will tell you that 1t isn't.
Because of this ability on
the part of his quarterbacks,
and his ends and halfbacks,
Coach Tom Nugent can start
a much more advanced type
of practice today than last Sep
tember /, when he and his as
sistants had to spend too much
time on fundamentals.
The Terps were to go at it
at 10 am. and 4 pm. today,
just II days before their OPEN
ing game with West Virginia
at Morgantown.
Nugent is being extremely
cautious about the opener with
the Mountaineers, and would
prefer not even to discuss the
home opener with Texas on
September "a. Texas generally
has been picked as the best
in the Southwest, and likely to
repeat as Cotton Bowl host.

The Maryland coach feels
the Terps spoiled West Vir-
ginia's entire season by winning
the opening game last year.
and he doesn't want history
to repeat in reverse.
Were going to be favored"
Nugent told the seasons first
press luncheon yesterday, land
that's in their favor right away.
And they're going to want to
get of to a good start for their
new coach (Gene Corum), and
besides we're playing in Nor
gantown, where the fans can
be pretty rabid."
But while expressing con-
Germ, Nugent said Maryland
should win if it puts the parts
together. Nugent WOULDN'T
forecast a defeat if he was
coaching the Little Potatoes
against the Baltimore Colts.
Quarterbacks Dale Betty and
Richie Novak proved in the
second half of the season last
year that they can throw the
ball, completing II passes be-
tween them for 13 touchdowns,
and this year Nugent is conf
dent the receivers will make
them look much better.
Dwayne Fletcher spent too
much time battling for the
quarterback job last year. But
now the speedy Front Royal
product knows he's the left
halfback, and he became a good
receiver in spring practice.
Cloud and Mona Skilled
Ev Cloud is q competent re-
ceiver at right half. particularly
on passes in the fiat, and Joe
Mona, behind him, could be the
best on the squad. And Mary
land is booming Gary Collins
for All-America primarily be-
cause of his pass-catching tai
ents. At the other end, Vincent
Scott knows what to do with
football when it comes his
way.
This time last year the Mary

third of the offense. This year
it knows virtually 100 per cent.

more advanced team for their
opening game.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (AP)
Politicians totting up the
vital factors in electing their
man to the presidency linger
over such things as party,
platform. personality.
II they're shrewd, they add
the candidates wife.
A charming woman, good
looking enough to attract
mems interest. yet with the
,unassuming domesticity to
win over the more critical
feminine voters, is an asset
not to be underestimated.
Women At Polls
Now that women outnum-
ber men at the polls. the
potential first lady might
seem an even more important
consideration.
Women cast their ballots
for a man, but they under
stand all about petticoat
power in the privacy of the
home. y
They've got it figured that
after the shouting and the
tumult dies, the leader who's
larger than life goes home to
become a human-sized father
and a husband who listens
respectfully to his wife's
opinions.
In the most-forgotten
days before woman suffrage,
human nature wasn't notice
ably different-on any social
level.
Even the meekest little
wife who was scandalized by
the bonnets the candidates
spouse wore. or by what she'd
heard about her gay parties,
could wheedle her voting
mate to her unfriendly per-
suaSion.
Shed get him to agree the
hats or parties or whathave-
you were outrageously frivo-
lous and extravagant. Per-
haps indecorous?
Then she'd say, without
fluttering an eyelash, that
men certainly should be
masters Of their families
conduct. And any candi-
date so spineless as to let
his wife make a fool Of him
like that, publicly too, GER
tainly wasn't strong enought
to handle a nations problems.
There must have been
times that such pure logic
swayed the masterful hus-
band-voter.
But what about the nomi-
nee's better half? Did she
ever hit the campaign trail
in behalf Of his candidacy?
Back when, women were
ladies and left political issues
to the menfolks - at least
publicly - candidates wives
mostly stayed home. kept the
roof patched over the chill
dren's heads and pondered
with mingled delight and
dread the prospect Of living
