Recreio juniors are showing great improvement this season in spite of the fact that they have lost the ser- vices of several of last year's players who have been promoted.
Miss Silva in goal brought off several good saves while Miss T. Gonsalves was prominent with her hard hitting,
Had Recreio been steadier in front of goal or indulged in more shooting they would have gathered a few goals in the Arst half when they were pre- sented with several changes.

PLANNED PRACTICE
GRAPHIC GOLF
By BEST BALL Apparently there is more to this game of golf than merely bang ing
away at the ball with a varied assortment of instruments. There is a mental side to the game and in this instance, this does not refer to the worry which besets so many golfers when the pressure is an. The factor re ferred to here is the player's capa- city for planning shots in advance, mapping out a campaign as to just how each hole is to be played and then adhering to a practice pro- gramme which will facilitate the play."
Walter Travis used to do this very thing, and it brought him victories over many players who were more naturally gifted to the game than he was. For example in the National Amateur Cham- pionship of 1908 at Garden City, Travis was pitted against Henry Wider, a much longer hitter. Travis decided the 17th hole, a rangy two shotter would probably be the strategic battling ground, and the night before the match spent nearly an hour practicing ..approach shots and putts on this green. The next day this practice tore fruit when he won this hole and then went on to win the match. His ball had stopped in.
