THE HARDEST THING IN GOLF
“What is the hardest part of
golf?” asks one of the scrambling
devotees. “Is It
wooden club play or
iron play or putt
ing? Is it getting
good foot action or
getting good body
action? Does it
come from getting
the right use of
hands and wrists?
There are so many
tough sections to a
golf swing that I
thought there might
be some starting
point.”
The hardest thing
in golf is the ability to keep on con
centrating along right lines. This is
where most of the stars crack up
on certain days. Also, it is where
the average golfer finds a big part
of his trouble.
For example, we might start with
putting. No great intelligence is re
quired to know that putting carries
three main angles:
1. To judge the speed of the
green.
2. To pick out the right line to
the cup.
3. To stroke the ball smoothly.
What happens? On entirely too
many occasions the golfer is still
guessing about the speed of the
green and the right line in the mid
dle of his stroke. So here comes a
jab or a stab or a lifted head. His
concentration is completely scram
bled. All he has to do, in set or
der, is to decide on green speed,
line and then smooth stroking. I
mean to make a definite decision
in each case. Few do.
Advance Considerations
You can also take the start from
the first tee. The average golfer
must understand there are just a
few details to be considered in ad
vance:
1. To get a comfortable stance
where the feet are not planted and
the body isn’t locked in advance.
2. To be sure he starts his back-
swing smoothly with a natural body
turn.
3. That he must finish his back-
swing and not hurry his downswing.
4. That he keeps his head in place.
Watch the planted feet, the stif
fened legs, the hurried backswing,
and the uplifted dome of thought,
sometimes known as the head.
The best mental attitude in golf is
to feel you are a bit laay—that you
are in no hurry to finish your back-
swing nor to start your downswing.
The best mental attitude is to keep
your mind on the swing and on the
ball—without thinking ahead.
It is better to try to keep your
mind on the ball than your eye on
the ball. The action of the eye fol
lows the direction of the mind. You
can’t keep your eye on the ball while
thinking on beyond of traps, bunk
ers, rough, ponds and out-of-bounds.
Correct Foot Action
The hardest physical action in golf
involves correct foot action.
“I should say more golfers have
trouble here than anywhere else,”
Henry Picard, P. G. A. champion
tells me. “Even few of the better
known golfers are any too able in
this detail.
“Good foot action means your
starting balance. It means trans
ferring body weight from left to
right and then from right to left.
If you have good foot action it
means you are balanced at the top
of the swing to complete your down
swing. If your weight distribution
is out of order, the result will be
nothing to cheer about.
“What will help better foot ac
tion?” Picard continued. “To stand
up to the ball much straighter than
most golfers do. To stand a little
closer to the ball. To keep your
feet closer together than most golf
ers do. What chance has the golfer
to get his feet working when he is
stooping over, when he is reaching
for the ball with his planted feet
wide apart?
Turning Made Easy
“Not a chance in the world. He
wouldn’t try to throw a baseball
from any such position. He is un
comfortable, to start with. He
doesn't give himself a chance.
Make a point of standing up straight
er and not spreading your feet.
This makes it much easier to turn—
to get your weight transference
working the right way.
“This applies especially to chip
shots and short pitches. On these
stand closer to the ball and keep
your feet much closer together.
This will prevent stooping over and
tightening up. This also will give
your hands and wrists a chance to
work.
“If your feet and body are locked,
the hands and wrists will never have
a chance to swing the clubhead. For
example, locking the left ankle also
locks the left wrist. You just can’t
finish your backswing. This will de
stroy rhythm of movement, destroy
ing the accuracy of your swing.
“Another tough factor in golf,”
the Hershey Hurricane continued,
“is keeping the body working with
the hands. The body is the more
powerful. It wants to get in there
and help get more distance. But
what it usually does is throttle hands
and wrists.

Go-to-School Headwear Will
Include Chic Matched Turbans
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
IT’S high time to be tackling the
go-to-school wardrobe problem.
So far as millinery is concerned,
thanks to the charming fashion of
wearing bewitching little match tur
bans, such as have been so tre
mendously popular of late, the col
lege girls’ plan of action is made
perfectly clear. Just keep in mind
the slogan “a matching turban with
every frock or blouse or suit.”
Sounds like a big order, doesn’t it,
but truth is it’s as simple a way to
get rid of the hat question as we
know.
Not that new fall turbans are go
ing to repeat summer versions. In
deed notl Just watch and see what
happens when the fall style parade
is in full swing. You are going to
see the most captivating, unusual
little pompadour concoctions enroll
under the turban regime, that fancy
can picture.
Designers are bending their efforts
to create turbans that take kindly
to the idea of being posed back of
the new pompadour hairdo. So when
you take a piece of your dress goods
to match up a turban to go with your
new fall frock be sure the model you
select is the kind that will set off
your flattering pompadour curls to
perfection. Note the turban shown
in the oval below to the left. Here
a bright red drape is brought
through a golden ring in a way
that gives the exotic far east caste
to the picture. It tells you that tur
bans that tilt forward go fifty-fifty
with the very new pompadour types.
Assuming that you will be getting
together a whole collection of tur
bans to match (with each dress a
self-fabric headpiece) we especially
cite the “chignon” turban as a must
have in the group. The turban with
a chignon or with a bandanna tie
at the nape of the neck is sure
news that is news. You can
carry out the idea as extreme
as you please. Knotted and tied,
the ends will stream down to
the waistline at the back or
stop at the shoulders. You can
get in the better shops a clever
little chignon type such as Lillie
Dache interprets via a red, white
and black silk scarf manipulated
as you see above to the left in the
oval. Note the saucy chignon frill
at the back and see the impudent
bow to the fore designed to accent
your widow’s peak to the utmost.
This type turban also adapts itself
to the new pompadour hairdress.
If you like bright stripes, tell the
world this fall via a stylish peaked
turban together with a gigantic
matching envelope bag of red, white,
yellow and blue striped fabric as
worn by the smartly clad young
woman pictured to the right.
It adds to the glamour of the new
jersey frocks that the majority of
them are accompanied with tur
bans or toques made of the identi
cal jersey. The figure centered in
the picture demons;rates how inter
estingly the alliance of a striped
jersey frock and a matching striped
jersey draped turban work out. Here
a reefer of dusty rose flannel over
a navy and white striped jersey
dress, navy shoes with dusty roae
quilted bag and gloves add a defi
nite style touch, the cabochon twrist
of the matched jersey turban sup
plying the final touch of chic. See
how flatteringly it reveals the pom
padour, which, as said before, is the
characteristic feature of the newer
turbans.
The vogue for matched fabric hats
is expressed not only in turbans for
this fall but we will see many
brimmed sports hats made of tweeds
to match suits and coats to which
add a shopping bag of the same and
behold a perfect ensemble for travel
and town wear.

Pompadour Felt
Whether the hat be wide of brim,
a tiny toque, a draped turban or a
dramatic beret, milliners are tem
pering them to the new pompadour
hairdo. The model pictured accents
sophisticated simplicity which is so
important just now. Its lavish brim
with neat grosgrain ribbon band and
short streamers at the back are em
inently style-right.
Suede for Sports
Is Coming for Fall
Soft PiOve suede is being used by
Voris, a West coast designer, in a
collection of sports dresses for fall.
One dress of suede, in a pottery
pink shade, is collarless and has
soft, unpressed pleats in the skirt.
The belt is just a wide sash of
brown suede. Another dress of beige
suede has a fly-front closing, a per
fectly straight skirt and deep, sad
dle-stitched pockets on either hip.
Fashion Hints for
The College Girl
While the dress of the college girl
must assume a casual look, yet in
reality it must observe most metic
ulous detail that insures for it style
distinction.
You will thrill with delight at the
sight of the new featherweight jer
sey dresses styled in classic sim
plicity but spectacular at that be
cause of the fringed shawl of the
self-jersey that is thrown noncha
lantly about one’s shoulders.
And then there are the newest-of-
the-new pinafore frocks. Can imagi
nation go beyond this—a navy dress
with a bright red pinafore of sheer
wool with pleated apron skirt and
a jumper top all carried out in de
mure little girl fashion yet skillfully
tuned to teen age wear? You will
want to include one of the new and
clever drawstring models done in
jersey. They are fitted to waist with
drawstrings that tie in front. An
other suggestion is a plaid skirt with
suede shirt in bright monotone.
Color Contrast in
Fall Wool Suits
Two-piece jacket-suits dramatize
color contrasts and blends more eye-
appealingly than ever. Some of the
new color contrast suggestions of
fered are olive green with mauve,
brown with pale blue, plum with
pale blue, dark brown with to&ee
tan, red with hunter’s green and so
on and on with the color spectrum
fashion will make merry this fall.
The schemes are worked out with
monotone tweeds coupled with plaids
and stripes. Lots of plaid is on the
way for fall. It will be tailored into
long coats, into separate jackets and
for the costume entire.

T HERE’S never a dull mo
ment at Big Bear, Calif.,
these days. Nc sooner did 20th
Century - Fox’s “Brigham
Young” troupe finish work on
location near there than Mono
gram’s “Queen of the Yukon”
moved in.
The town has just one im
portant street, and it’s
jammed nightly with bearded
extras (whose beards earn a
living for them) and members of
the cast. Irene Rich, Charles Bick
ford, Melvin Lang, Dave O’Brien,
and June Carlson are in the lineup.
Melvin Lang and Dave O’Brien
had to stage a fight the other day;
in preparation, Bickford spent sev
eral days teaching O’Brien how to
avoid injuries. But—when Director
Phil Rosen called “Cut!" O’Brien
fell to the ground, and the company
doctor found that he had a broken
rib. He’d been too much excited
to remember Bickford’s instruc
tions.

When young players in Hollywood
get discouraged they remind them
selves—and anyone who’ll listen—
that it takes just one good picture
to make a star.
“Look at Pat O’Brien in ‘Front
Page’,” they’ll say. “Look at Cary
Grant in ‘Topper’—Shirley Temple
IDA LUPINO
in ‘Little Miss Marker’—Errol Flynn
in ‘Captain Blood'—May Robson in
‘Lady for a Day.’ ”
Another name has been added to
the “Look” list—it’s that of Ida
Lupino, who did a nice job in “The
Light That Failed” and has won her
spurs as a result of her “mad”
scenes in Warner Brothers’ “They
Drive By Night.” She’ll co-star
with John Garfield in “East of tH>
River.”

We may have another Rogers-
Astaire picture, if HKO can find the
right story for it. Fred Astaire is
free-lancing at present, and Ginger
is booked for three pictures, one of
them being a picturization of the
very popular novel, “Kitty Foyle.”
But some time next year they may
be dancing together again.

Herbert Moulton has a new idea
for screet entertainment, and he
hopes you’re going to like it. After
six months of hard work he has
finished an abridged version of
“Love Me Tonight,” starring Maur-
iee Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald
and Myraa Loy, and originally re
leased in 1932. It will run just 45
minutes.
Other old-time successes being
considered for streamlining are
"Design for Living,” “The Lives of
a Bengal Lancer,” “Night After
Night,” and “One Hour With You.”

Betty Field left the stage for Hol
lywood a year ago; in that time
she’s played four big parts, so dif
ferent from each other that she’s
the envy of all the other young ac
tresses. In “What a Life!” she was
the nice high school girl who was
Jackie Cooper’s sweetheart; in “Of
Mice and Men” she was the sultry,
amorous young woman who attract
ed Lon Chaney Jr. In “Seventeen”
she was a giddy young siren, and
in “Victory,” her latest picture,
she’s warm, tender, understanding.

Three years ago Ralph Edwards
hitch-hiked from his home in Oak
land, Calif., to New York for a job.
A couple of weeks ago he returned
to his home in a plane. These days
he’s so busy that, when he decided
to take a six-week vacation, five
other announcers had to be called
in to sub for him.
Six months ago he turned up as
creator, director and master of cere
monies of his own program, the hi
larious “Truth or Consequences.”
It was tried out on four eastern sta
tions, and soon will be launched on
WEAF in New York.
