Too Much Speed Is Dangerous.
DEFINING THE SPOT.
The first impression that potting is easy is very soon corrected by a little experience, writes "T.B.G." The Barwat Billiards Review. The beginner soon finds that in potting there is less room for error of aim than in any other ordinary shots on the table.

This year's match is the 93rd of the series, Cambridge having won

The "Plunk" Potter.
One of the commonest errors in potting is that made by the "plunk" potter-the player who tries to pot every ball like a shot from a can- non. Quite a large number of pote are missed by this means. The rate at which the over-driven ball travels is so great that it is in and out of the pocket opening before it has time to fall into the net.
