Household Neuis 4 * AFTER THE FOOTBALL GAME See Recipes Below. If you are entertaining the crowd after the game, you’ll find substan tial refreshments in favor; for the same crisp air that puts football players on their toes breeds keen appetites. It’s good social strategy to ar range everything buffet style and let the guests help themselves. You’ll rwant a table that is festive, easy to handle, and yet casual. You may even want to set up card tables in the living room to make your guests comfortable after they have helped themselves from the buffet. Natural colored linen, or rough homespun cloth will make a smart background for your serving table. Candles are often used very effec tively, when serving buffet style, for they add both atmosphere and light. If you double as hostess and chief cook, you’ll enjoy the game twice as much if you plan a menu that can be prepared beforehand. Sandwich makings and a hot steaming bever age are a wise choice.

HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, PERRY, GEORGIA UT from the tumult and the turmoil of the football season the time seems to be about ripe to turn to the even greater tumult and E_ turmoil of another | game—golf. Here is | World series, in cluding* football I tours, we traveled with a pair of young | men by the names I of Billy Burke and I Horton Smith. While Grantland Ric others were full of oratory concerning Newsom, Derringer, Walters and blocking backs, Messrs. Burke, Smith and your correspondent inter polated our share of golf, from both the inside and outside angles. The Sway in Golf Billy Burke was talking about the sway in golf. “This is one of the misunderstood terms in golf,” the former champion and one of the best instructors said. “I sway. Most of us sway. You have to sway a little. But my first sway is really a lateral hip shift. I sway from my left hip to my right, before I start to turn. But the upper part of my body doesn’t sway. My head doesn’t sway—or even move. “The trouble with too many golf ers,” Burke continued, “is that they sway the wrong way. They sway with the upper part of the body. They let their heads drift with the swing. When this happens the back swing is all gone, and so is the down swing. There is neither power nor control left. When the upper part of the body—above the waist, in cluding the head—starts to sway or shift, the swing is then completely wrecked. For all balance is de stroyed. “I’ve watched thousands after thousands try to hit a golf ball in this way, but it can’t be done. It isn’t even possible, even if a Hagen or a Jones tried it.” Complete Agreement “Billy is just 100 per cent cor rect,” Horton Smith cut in. “For the good golfer I wouldn’t exactly 1 call it a sway. But there is a swaying hip motion from the M ,Mm left to the right, be- #***?* fore you turn. But only the hips are in volved in this first L motion. The second f the shoulders and WT head sway with this - VjBV /” -] motion you are all s. mkSJ- .....4 through. You might Hor t on Smith call it a left to right bend in the middle of the body, but not in the top of the body. “Certainly the head must be fixed in one spot—the anchor to the swing. But don’t let that head move an inch until the ball is on its way.” “What follows after the hip sway or shift?” I asked Horton Smith. “That starts the backswing,” he said. “Then the next move is a nat ural body turn. It is really quite simple. After the first lateral hip motion, where the major part of the weight is now on the right foot and leg, the next move is to let the left side turn. Just as if you were throwing a ball. The left knee, the left hip, the left shoulder all come around together. In this way at the top of the backswing you have a feeling both of control and power. “You are now in a position to use your hands and wrists, in place of trying to call on your shoulders and your body for most of the punch. “What so few golfers understand,” Horton Smith continued, “is that bad foot and bad body action can lock the hands and wrists. “Of course, the feet and body be long to the swing. But they must be used so the hands and wrists are free to swing the clubhead. Don’t let them get in the way. Don’t let them lock the swing. “In the average swing you see so many golfers first dig their feet into the ground, then lock both legs, then sway the upper part of the body. They can’t move anything else. But if they first take the lateral hip shift or sway—left to right—keep the head in place and then take a nat ural body turn, they will be all set to get much better results.” Along the northern belt the trail of the outdoor campaign will soon be leading to the indoor schools or to the sun. But there is still time enough left to try out one of the soundest ideas in the game—which includes largely a head that always keeps its place. Use That Left Hand! I asked Billy Burke about the cor rect use of the two hands. “We all have to teach and advo cate the use of the left hand more,” he said. “I’ll tell you why. Golf is really a two-handed game. But with the average golfer it is only a one-hand ed game—l mean the right hand. Here you have the stronger hand hitting forward. It is a natural action. But if the left hand quits in golf there is neither control nor pow er left. »Ask Me Another 0 A General Quiz The Questions 1. How long is the time from new moon to new moon? 2.
