BY SOL METZGER. Watch, “The Haig” on the greens and you will be amazed at his un- canny skill at running them down. Now watch him more carefully. You will note that his left elbow points toward the hole. There is a reason. Sir Walter wants fo be sure the ball will roll true to line. knows that any slight tends to pull the face of the club off the line, even after the putt is stroked, will result in the put® curl- ing off the line. So he seis himself so that his back swing and down swing as well as the follow through of the club head will hold this line. Hagen _goes so far as to try not 1o open the blade on the back swing, fearing it will not readjust itsell correctly at the moment of 'mpact. In other words. he takes the club head straight back from the ball, as shown in the detailed sketches, and he brings it forward along this line. He putts in a groove straight on the line to the cup, and after contac’, even though his club head is aris- ing, it is on the line to the hol» The left elbow helps him in holding it on this line at and after con‘act.

The Fredericksburg team is a town representative that has been taking the measure of Washington aggregations in challenge matches this Winter. £ Jack Otto, famous duckpinner of Tor- rington, Conn., has sent in his entry for singles competition. He also will bowl with one of the fifteen teams for the tourney now being lined up in Con- necticut. Arlingtons of the Athletic Club League are to conclude their special match with the Hyattsville All-Stars tonight on the Convention Hall drives. The Arling- tons will enter the last five-gzame block with a lead of 93 pins in team contest picked up last Saturday night at Hvatts- ville. However, Henry Hiser and Frank Holloran of Hyattsvilie bested by 8 pins Bradley Mandley and Paul Harrison in the doubles section on the Maryland alleys. Ferraro and Nicro were victors in the first of a series of doubles matches among Holy Rosary Club bowlers. Com- peting on the drives at Convention Hall, they defeated Balducci and Marcellino, 1.073 to 979 in a five-game set. Ferraro shot a string of 532. Columbians of the Washington Ladies® League certainly possess a_formidable pair of bowlers in Florence Rembold. their | lead-off plaver, and Rena Leévy at an- chor. Several times this Winter these two have combined to shoot exceptionally well and drag games out of the fire when their teammates were not hitting the pins. Their efforts have gone far toward putting the Columbians in second place in the circuit. The latest rescue stunt of the Rembold-Levy outfit was per- formed in the roll-off of a postponed match with the Commercials. With Florence hitting for 332 and Rena for 317, the Columbians took all three games, although the other Columbians were not getting sparkling counts. Field Audit Review bowlers rolled one season record and shot within 24 pins of another in the Internal Revenue League matches last night on the King Pin drives. In the second of the threa games won from Personal Audit, the Field Audit Reviews shot 605 for a new mark for this campaign and just a few pins shy of an all-time record for the circuit. Their set total of 1,656 was second high for the year. Marjorie Bradt did some spectac: bowling in a six-game practice set night at King Pin. She hit for a total of 707. an average of 117-4. Her high game was 130, she rolled three games of 119 each and the other 10-fran.e counts were 112 and 108. shooting for the captain of the Com mercials of the Washington Ladies League and one of the mainstays of the Petworth team of the Ladies’ Dis- trict League.

SIEGE OF CONTESTS FOR V. M. 1. TEAMS LEXINGTON, Va., February 16— Three double-headers will feature M. I’s home schedule this week, twin bills being provided on Thursday after- noon, Saturday afternoon, and Satur- day night. In addition, the varsity basket ball game with South Carolina slated for Wednesday, has been changed to Friday, so that the Cadets will have :::roe days straight of indoor competi- on. On Thursday the undefeated Cadet varsity wrestlers will entertain the Duke team, conquerors of the Navy. As V. M. I was victorlous over the Army as well as over strong Conference op- ponents, the meet with the North Caro- linians looms as one of the hardest on the home schedule. Coach Raftery's fast-traveling quint, after a two-game slump against Vir- ginia, returned to winning ways against the North Carolina State five, and should be in good form for South Caro- ! lina Friday and Sewance Saturday. The freshman five, having lost to the V. P. I. Goblets at Blacksburg, will be ripe to turn the tables in a return game here Saturday afternoon. Varsity and freshman wrestlers will appear against the North Carolina grapplers Saturday. Both cadet boxing teams will appear | in foreign rings Saturday, the varsity | at Catholic University and the fresh- man at Staunton Military Academy. Injuries have continued to weaken the varsity line-up since Palmer and Gra- vatt were injured in the West Point | meet. Arny Boogher. clever 125/ pounder. who has won four of his five | | bouts, will probably be unable to box at Washington.
