S Maryland BEATSN.C. STATE TO.GET 7TH PLACE G. W. Meets Salem, Catholic U. Plays Hopkins in Tilts Here Tonight. ARYLAND'S 21-19 victory over North Carolina State, | at Raleigh, practically as- sured the Terrapins of a place in the seeded draw of the Southern Conference champion- ship tournament, starting a week from Friday at Atlanta. The Terrapins are now seventh among the 16 teams that will compete and need to remain eighth or better to get a break in the tournament draw. If they con- tinue among the first eight they likely will have .a fairly weak op- | ponent in the first round of the championship play. In defeating North Carolina State Maryland got exactly even for an earlier defeat, State winning by a 2-point margin at College Park. Tonight at Chapel Hill the Terrapins will meet North Carolina University, the team they defeated at College Park, 34-26. North Carolina State, _defending champion of the Southern Conference, got the jump on Maryland in the first quarter last night and piled up an 8- point lead. Maryland spurted, how- ever, and four goals in rapid succession by Chalmers and Berger and two by Radice tightened the fray. State ) 8t recess, 12-11. Both teams fought furiously in the second half. ‘When the crisis came with seconds to go it was the cool pre- cision of Shorty Chalmers and Ed Ronkin that dscided th> issue.

Oglethorpe, introduced the game to this country, and the first course stretched out over territory near modern Savannah's outskirts.

The place where your clubhead is going to meet the ball is the place your sight should center during the playing of a stroke. I know that many outstanding stars claim they are not conscious of the ball as they swing. But their actions belie their words. I've watched such golfers play many strokes in important tourn: ments. When they swing their eyes remain glued to this spot after they have hit the ball. Concentrate upon that spot in the rear center of the ball t your clubface must meet in going N YOUR CLUBHEAD MUST MEET | BALL AT ¥ BALL GOING |, A'~ CENT~ THROUGH AT | RIFUGAL. RIGHT 1 FORCE.

Address your ball somewhat off toward the end of your clubhead. Many stars, including Glenna Col- lett, do. Why? Well, because of the fact that the centrifugal force of your clubhead on the through swing will carry it a bit forward of the ex- act point it occupied at address. | Allow for-this in order to hit the ball truly.

There isn’t time for consciously. dissecting If you try that during a round you’ll see more weird shots than you knew were in the book. But on the practice tee you are not concerned as much with the flight of the ball as with the mechanical detalls of the stroke. It is only in practice that a golfer can eliminate errors, I don’t. mean to say that I have en- tirely cured my tendency to hook. It crops up now and then, but when it does I hie myself out to the practice tee with a bag of balls and a caddie— and go to work! That is the only method by which any weakness can be cured.
