Louisiana State University, sending the largest team Thursday night still was a prime favorite with By GENE 6ARAZEN World Golf Champion (As Told To Alan Gould) If there Is one factor, above most others, that I would like to Impress on the general run of golfers, no matter what their handicap rating, It Is to CONCENTRATE.

By that I mean concentrate on the right grip and stance, concentrate on choosing the right club and concentrate on shooting for the green. Don't be discouraged or strat fiddling around with a different method If you miss one or two shots. It takes practice and some mistakes to acquire the right swing and timing. Undisturbed by Gallery. If you have ever studied the play of a champion closely you will mark the extreme all-around concentration of his play, under all sorts of circumstances and with galleries of thousands swarming about him.

He would be "lost" quickly If he allowed himself to be distracted from the main goal of his Jones, Ouimet and Hagen are great examples of what concentration will do. It Is to that factor that I attribute rev stiecess last year, especially In the British Open at Prince's. 1 I went to England firmly convinced Prince's was going to be one of the toughest courses-1 ever tackled; that the only'way I could beat It was to concentrate on every angle and. every shot. I succeeded so well that I never" had a single six on any card over there.

Had Prince'; Down "Pat." In particular I had studied the No. 8 hole at Prince's, a 460-yarder with two bunkers designed to catch an over-ambitious or erratic tee shot. I discovered the -right spot to put my tee shot, where I would get a long uphill, but clear, shot 'o the green. To make sure I drove with a spoon. Twice I got home well enough with -the wood to get eagle threes.

To my success on that hole, more than anything else; I Owed my victory. That, will show you how it pays to concentrate, no matter how easy the shot looks. Remember: mistakes on easy shots are Just as costly as those on hard dnes, in addition to which they are more likely to produce aggravation and break down the morale.
