It is not an uncommon thing to see a golfer abandon wood club and take to irons throughout the bag. It is a mistake ~ to do that, for the iron can never yield the distance that can be taken with the wood, and after all, the long drive is perhaps the most advan- tageous shot in golf as well as the most satisfying one. Take it away and half the charm of the sport is lost. The wood club swing is the easiest swing of all. The iron swings easier for many players be cause it feels, in the first place, more natural in the hands. This is because of the weight in the head. The player who has so much trouble with the woods has only to train his fingers and hands to feel th wood clubs and he will get along bet- | ter with them. (Copyright, 1925.)

While he was a sort of supertutor his job was not so much to driv something into resistant skulls as it was to get the boys by the scholar- ship barrier—by methods of his own. Unlike the wet nurse, he was not paid out of university funds, but subsisted mysteriously in that vague domain of useful functionaries—the “No Man's Land” of the annual re- port. The “widow” knew all the snap courses; he knew all the folbles and eccentricities of the various profes- !sors: and, above all, he could give a | pretty fair prospectus of just what any given quiz would consist of in the way of questions.

In the end I had a 284, two strokes less than Golden, and copped the champlonship. I attributed this to the fact that I played conservatively at the proper time.
