It sounds as though they were hailing an Indian Chief e It doesn't Would Be High Jumper. Pug would trade all his foot ball honors gladly for a place as a high jumper on Uncle Sam’s 1932 Olympic track and field squad. He leaped a little in high school at Joliet, Ill, in between clogging, and last Summer, with but a few days of training, he cleared 6 feet, 3 inches to quelify for the National A. A. U. championships at_Lincoln, Nebr He missed out there, but insists he can do 6 feet 6 inches with proper Pointers on Golf Practically all the topnotch golf- ers use the same stance for their pitch shots, the approaches that they shoot for the pin with bite in order to hold the ball near where it alights. Johnny Farrell is quite orthodox in this respect. So I will explain his stance. It is open—that is, the left foot is farther back from the direction line. It is also narrow—that is, his feet are close together. Jones even accents this narrow stance on this OPEN AND NARROW STANCE. FOR PITCH - THIS IS FARRE.LL'S B ikl — =26 -33 shot, as his heels are almost touch- ing when he plays it. As a result of this open stance, the player par- tially faces the hole at address. The reason for this position— facing somewhat toward the hole— is to enable one to swing the club- head almost straight through for the pin. The narrow stance itself is common because one does not need a great deal of bracing. It also per- mits freedom of pivot.

When I go back to Norway the end of February I am going to finish school at Oslo and then I expect to spend several years at the Sorbonne, studying French.” Apparently the Norwegian star Olympic champion in 1928 and world's title holder for five suc ve years, finds the task of training too irksome. “I spend three hours every day on the rink, skating and practicing,” she said. “I can neither smoke nor drink and I must eat only the most whole- some food. I've been observing these rules religiously for the last seven years and I feel just about ready to give them up. I've skated much too long. “And then after the skating is over I play tennis all Summ and ride horseback. Last year I placed third in the Norwegian tennis cham- pionship and this year I'm planning to enter again. I also spend a lot of time on the track.
