BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. ALO ALTO, Calif., December P 26.—One of the really great golf courses of the United States may be found on the campus of Stanford University, in this beautiful little city. Located in the Santa Clara Valley and be- neath the serrated peaks of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it has a natural beauty possessed by few golf courses in North America. ‘The Stanford ocourse, now one year and its par of 71 never has been equaled.

POINTERS ON GOLF BY SOL METZGER. It is reasonable to believe that if one’s body sways when swinging a golf club, the ensuing shot cannot be true. It would be exceédingly difficult to bring the clubhead back true to the ball if the body were un- balanced. That being so, just try an’experi- ment. First, stand up and swing with the arms just as if you held a golf club. You'll find yourself bal- anced throughout this effort. Now try to swing by using the s0dy to take the club back and 254 hits, tying the National League rec- | Flying Kiki Cuyler of the Cubs proved to be| | the best base stealer in the league.

He will replace Tim Dunworth. With the advent of Campbell into Lewis Hopfenmaler’s line-up of young bowlers, the Pale Drys forfeit the “junior” title plastered on ’‘em last year by their organizer, Ben McAlwee. Campbell is the only Pale Dry over 21 years old. pbr;rhclnx Tim ‘Dunworth with Hopfenmaler is removing an unponmt cog in ‘what is perhaps ‘Washington's cucklllt bowling quint. The Pale Drys, in their second year of bowling as a team, have yet to lose a match. Their most recent triumph was a_slashing decision over Baltimore's Dutchman, Ray Von Dreele, and his Recreation Happy Five.

Both East Potomac Park and Rock Creek Park may be closed for two weeks beginning March 1 for repairs to the fairways and putting greens, but that is not yet decided.

Oscar long has been waiting for - & chance to knock off the kid bowlers. The Pale Drys, however, are pointed for the Connecticut fray, which un- doubtedly will be one of the most im- portant intercity matches of the year.

McCALLUM: of the Maryland Park School has issued a challenge on behalf of that school to any golf team from the local high schools to l1.)l.ly on the pitch-and-putt layout. A 1 jewelry house has put up a silver cup which will go to the win- ning team in the high school series. HAT grand old shot which every one used to play before the days of the small, heavy ball—the run-up shot —has come back in favor and must be generally used on the golf courses now= adays. With putting greens frozen to the hardness of concrete and vitch shots careening merrily far over the greens, the golfers who play these days (and there are many of them) are find- ing the lengthy pitch shot almost use- less.” So the run-up shot is the shot nowadays—the same grand old shot thlt flll the old-time golfers used to play in a wind back in the days of the Glory Dimple or the Zome. Zodiac and the Black Domino and the other balls of 18 to 25 years back. In those days the man without a run-up shot was hclp]e‘ss. for, although the pitch shot as a fine shot, the run- up nhot was called for on most courses. Built-up putting greens were then al- most unknown and the run-up shot to a green lying almost level with the fair- way was the thing, both for accuracy and judgment of distance. Under pres- ent conditions the run-up shot is the shot to play, with a slightly lofted iron like & No. 2 or a No. 3. And back in those days there were no such clubs. There was a midiron and a mashie and that was all in the way of slightly loft- ed clubs. But nowadays we have irons running all the way up into two figures and the run-up shot has lost its use in favor of the pitch. But try to play & high pitch to hard greens and see what happens, You'll go back to the run-up, unless you have to pitch over a bunker and 1 nthat case all you can do is to hit and pray.
