• Contests Next Year -
Novices at, golf should bo especially
careful of their methods of play if they
wish to learn - the game well and to
become proficient in this sport. This
Is the stage wheribad as well as good
golfing form Is developed' and later a
player will find It difficult to correct
the mistakes he has been muldng from
the start. Per this reason, It Is Im
portant that a beginner-should take
the greatest pains to play In the cor
rect form from the start
When a person goes on tho links for
the first time he should not attempt
to teach himself the game but- go to
the lbstructor for advice. The De
partment of Physical Education his
added Mr "Bob . ' Rutherford, - a prof
essional, of wide experience, to the
teaching staff for this purpose - No
muy,be found on the golf course during
the day and is always ready to give
instruction in the game: — The golf
mentor has ability to see what special
style of play is adapted to a person
and, after discovering this method of
play fitted to the beginner, he gives
the necessary instructions so that the
player trill be able to, use his best
form Every player has - a different
way to grip the club and to stand in
order to gain the best results and the
instructor tells the student the proper
methods which aro adapted to his par
ticular needs
•
,
A mistake which many beginners
make, is accepting the adviee—which
every person donates to them. This.
In most cases, does more harm than
good, for every player has some pe
culiarities and , the right golfing form
of one person Is entirely wrong for
another The golf aspirant should get
his right stance and adopt his own
style of swing and then ethic to these
He should try to perfect himself In
these instead 8r experimenting with
many different forms
Some Fundamentals of Golf
Tin Ituthel ford has Issued some gen
eral fundamental Instructions which
are necessary and should ho followed
by the beginner There are many com
mon faults which the novice acquires
and these - rules have to do with these
mistakes
The mosUmpOrtant law of the game
and the one most frequently disobeyed
by, the new golfer Is that of 'ceasing the
eye on the ball, when swinging Thls
causes more pool golfing than anything
else and It is absolutely necessary to
do this at all times
In swinging, the body should not be
raised. 'When the elub.ls swung back,
the left shoulder should be dropped,
and - when the plaer has swung thru,
he - should naturally drop the right
shoulder.
Many golfers have trouble with topp
ing the ball or hitting It with the heel of
the..club The heel of the elub is the
weakest spot and It is the bitting of
the ball hero that is the greatest cause
,of broken clubs. If a player is con
stantly doing this, ho can remedy the
fault by moving back a little from the
ball when swinging• On the other hand
if he tops the boll; the golfer should
stand , closer - to , the ball "
If a person has difficulty in'using a
particular club, be should play with it
until be has acquired - the right knack
In handling It. The driver is especially
troublesome to -many players and Its
use can be mastered by playing entire
games employing only this one club

Women players make the mistake of
using heavyweight balls, In many cases
buying the heaviestones available.
Instead of this, they should use the
lighter weight balls if they wish to
obtain better results. High heeled
shoes should never be norn and women
will be restricted from the links who
do not observe this rule: Up to thin
time, no feminine player has disobeyed
this ruling and the co-eds are to be
commended for this -
When Penn State students have ac
quired Inure shill at golf, contests will
be staged In this'game This Still not
be possible, however, until next year,
uhen the Blue and White links will
have been Improved. Interclass match
es, scrap matches and championship
matches will he played off at various
times Individual contests In handi
cap play, and medal play will also be
In coder at all times
Great immovements will be made on
the links this summer and Penn State
will be assured of a first class course
next year. The - now greens will have
been completed by that time and traps,
bunkers and other obstacles will have
been constructed.
At the present time the links Is
Proving very popular and many stud
ents are taking advantage of the pleas
ant afternoons to play the nine hole
course,- More students would find It
agreeable to play in the morning, when
the grounds are not so crowded and
when there is a greater opportunity for
practice New Players will find the
hours before noon an especially good
time for them to learn the game - when
they can take more time to play their
shots

Music's Perfect Mirror
"Oho Phonograph with a Saar
The New Edison is like the perfect mirror
that reflects form and- feature, true to every
line and subtlety of coloring. It gives you
an exact RE-CREATION of the singing or play
ing of the living artist or artists.
Mr. Edison spent 7 years of his time and
. 3
millions of his dollars to develop the,perfect
realism of the New Edison. He has proved
this perfect realism by comparing the New
Edison with living artists 5,000 times before
more than 5 million people. The New Edison
is positively the only phonograph which can
sustain this , test.
, We have, for you, a proof on offset paper of the
famous Franklin Booth Etching of Mr. Edison,- as he
looks today. Size 12 xl9 inches. . Bears no advertis
ing matter; suitable for framing. Just fill out the

Figures for a group of 189 alumni of
five Eastern engineering schools were
