Rochester comes to Washington with the prestige of a victory over the Cleveland Rosenblums, winners of the first half of the league schedule, con- siderably strengthened by the addi- tion of Plerson and Grimsted. George Marshall's Palace outfit per- formed in impressive fashion last night to win its opening encounter from the Philadelphia quint, outpass- ing and outscoring the Quaker City floormen in a hard played game. Marshall's henchmen won, 50 to 38, but the game was much harder fought than the score indicates. At half time the count was deadlocked, 22 to 22; in the second half Palace forged into a lead that Philadelphia could not overhaul. Saunders was the individual star of the pastime, scoring 10 points in the last five minutes and adding a floor toss just as the gun went off. TAKEN BY WALFORDS ‘Walford and Marlboro booters will meet again next Sunday in a resump- tion of the 3-game series for the Dis- trict senior title that will mean Wal- ford champlonship or a tied series and a third contest. On the strength of its impressive 5 to 1 victory yvesterday over the Marl. boro soccerites on the muddy Monu- ment grounds pitch, Walford will enter the clash next Sunday favorites to_win without the extra battle.

The ugly truth of the matter is that the player usually has lunged forward, toward the ball, with his upper body and he simply has to make room for | the clubhead to get through, so he breaks his left elbow back and pulls | the whole left arm in toward him. And that does start something. For now the pla having started his left elbow break, is not going to be able to stop it for the simple reason that a lot of things are happening faster than he can keep track of them, so what happens? Why, he pulls his clubhead directly across the ball from the out- side in, he finishes with his body turned completely to the left—and at other slice results. | If the player, having started !hti club downward, will let it make its ( Horton’s Par Golf Chart start as he shoves off, shifting his weight from the right to the left foot, and will then momentarily wait with his body until the clubhead ge‘s tv the ball—if he will just do that he will suddenly find himself possessed ot a masterful and resultful swing. The whole knack of the thing there, and those few words describe adequately the enormous difference between swinging the clubhead, which is correct, as against lunging at the ball with the body, which is all wrong. Figure I shows how the left elbow breaks when the clubhead is near the ball. Note, too, how the player has {lunged forward, toward the ball with | his body, and how he is up on his toes. It is obvious that the clubhead the dotted line, directly across the ball for a sliced shot. Figure 2 shows the correet form. Here the left arm has straightened out into the ball, the shoulders are up and in place, the weight is solidly on the heels and solidly against the whole left leg, and the clubhead has swung— not the body.

Then try making the bounces a little above the waist. Then try bouncing it to the right and again to the left. % Do all of these things on a dead run. The good dribbler will use both high and low bounces. The high bounce makes speed. You can dribble faster with a high bounce than with a low one. : You must learn to run at full speed, bouncing high and bouncing low, and bouncing to right and bouncing to left, and all the time keep your head up and watch_the fleld. That means that you must be so good at bouncing the ball that you'll know where it is com- ing and where it is going without really looking at it.
