Some of the top names in dog- dom will be on tap for the start of the season. Wednesday, January 21, 1953 from letting that discourage her, she got mad»enough,-or-interested enough, to decide right on the spot to buckle down and gaily master the game. Dr. Hanson aubediendy drove her from North Dakota to golf tournaments in Florida, Minneso- ta, California;-Oklahoma, Michi- gan, Ilinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, New York, Georgia, Kanas -- really, to almost half the states in the nation. And all this time Bev was gradu- ally acquiring a sound golf game. But the going still was tough, and she enlisted the help of Lester Bolstad, former Nasional Public Links Champion and now golf pro- fessional at the University of Min- nesota, to help iron out the wrink- les in her game. As Bolstad tells it, his first practice session with Bev produced some weird shots. Says Bolstad: “She bladed her No. 8 irons, which veered sharply to the right, she socked putts a mile past the hole, and on her short approaches, which she declared to be her best ; shot, the coming national champ- | ion gashed a half dozen nice new balls with an over-wristy stroke. | Besides, her sand strokes never | got the ball more advanced than | a half i Bolstad’s instruction of Bev be-! gan to take effect almost imme- diately, And then another very important factor entered the pic- |ture, in the person of Helen Det- | tweiler, the noted instructor.

Kingman loss to the locals-who gain- ed a win over them by “a slim margin in a game which never saw the two clubs separated by more than five points at any one time. Key West holds a one game edge in four years of competition’ between the two schools and they will be shooting for a chance, to increase their lead. Last year, Redlands whipped the Conchs in the finals of the District Seven tourney and ‘went all he way to the semi-finals in the state cage tournament. Key West is starting to roll after a slow start this season. Their 53- 27 win over the hapless St. Mary’s of Miami five last Saturday night showed that they are guing to be one of the clubs to watch through- out the remainder of the season. The locals defense is beginning to function when no team in their last two starts has been able to get rolling against them. In addition, their work from the foul line is not hurting them a bit. Speed, always a halimark of Key West basketball squads is the key- note of the Conch attack and they have been running their opponents ragged to date. Coach Win Jones has been stressing defense and pointmaking in his practice ses- sions throughout the week. The performance of Glynn Arch- er as an offensive worker has given the Conch mentor plenty of cause for rejoicing as a starting five begins to round into shape. Competition for the starting post now held by Lucy Gonzalez who interviewer of Metropolitan Golfer, “I was all the more certain. that my swing was as good if not superior to Ben Hogan’s, for in- stance. As I was practicing one day a friend asked, ‘How are you hitting the ball?’ which remark I felt to be wholly unnecessary. “My friend held out a movie camera and suggested finishing the remainder of the 100 foot roil with several pictures of swings in | slow motion.. When the film was developed I at last saw myself} in what appeared to be a cross between a modern dance and a contortionist act by an India rub- ber woman with a golf club thrown in for no extra charge. “My legs looked like those of a! two-day colt trying its first steps | and my arms looked as if rigor mortis had’ set in.

Under the eight- week regulation, a U. S. amateur could accept traveling and expense money to play in only eight tournaments a year, exclusive of national and sectional championships. Other countries, operating under the international federation code, have no such restrictions. They permit expense money for an un- limited number of events--conceiv- ably 52, if a player can make that many. This has put Uncle Sam’s volley- ing nieces and nephews at a dis- advantage against their rivals, such as the Australians--that is, in cases where the rules were strictly ad- hered to.
