Today we conclude by discussing the slice and the hook).

THE SLICE: A curve to the right in the flight of a righthand-ed player's ball can be an advantage at times, depending on the shot needed. If you want to slice Intentionally, take an exaggerated open stance left foot drawn back. This will bring the club head into the ball from outside the line of flight to the inside and imparts a cutting across the ball which causes the slice. If you bring your hand around toward the left, you can control the degree of the slice. Aim to the left and take the club back outside the flight-line with a feeling of the left hand being firmly in control and retain that left hand domination.

The clubhead should come back high and should finish up low on the follow-through. A HOOK: A curve to the left of the right-handed golfer's ball is usually accompanied by a longer carry and roll than with a slice. rv 11 i i 1 to inieniionuiiy noun, lane a close stance, putting the left foot forward. Place the ball almost opposite the heel of the right foot. This will help to bring the clubhead back on the inside and follow-through to the outside.

A counter-clockwise spin will give the ball the roll. A rotation of the grip to tne right will control the degree of the slice. The hook is not considered a good shot for use to green where the ball may roll off the putting surface. retained San Francisco's one-gama lead over idle Los Angeles after the Phillies had won the opener of the twi-night double-header 6-4.

Until Bobby Morrow regains his form, the new "world's fastest human" is a lanky lad from San Jose State named Ray Norton.

The Russians are going to get a look at him for the first time In three events in the U.S.-So-viet track meet Saturday and Sunday. Ray, 21 and 180 pounds, is favored to win the 100 meters, 200 meters and anchor the 400-meter relay, which should win in a breeze. Already this year, he has equaled the world record for the 100 yards (9.3) and the 100 meters (10.1). Norton thinks it's mostly a matter of gaining confidence that has brought him along, plus some very serious pep talks from his coach Bud Winter. "It used to be." he said to- day, "that I'd get so nervous and tied up before race, that I wouldn't have a chance.

Why, until last year, I used to dream about a meet for a week. I'd get muscle spasms just lying in bed. Strictly mental, but it was awful. "But Bud taught me to concede to no one and think no one is bet ter than I. Now I'm confident I can beat the Russians (Edvin Ozohn and Leonid Bartencv)." Tiger, Calhoun Battle Tonight Syracuse.
