PRACTICE NET EXCELLENT FOR WINTER PRACTICE

GOLFER SHOULD CONCENTRATE

O PEPING HEAD DOWN

By BEST BALL

2.6

There are numerous advantages to be derived from a regular use of a practice net in the winter. Possibly most important is the opportunity it offers for allowing the golfer to keep his head down." Trying to change one's regular playing routine during the sum- mer months is difficult for the average player. Even the best resolutions are broken in the stress of a round which threatens to be close. It is natural to look up to see where the ball is going and, unless the golfer has made a habit of staying down to the ball, the fault is likely to occur unconsciously. To eliminate this. possibility, it is up to the golfer to develop his form that he will do the right thing without a se- vere mental and physical struggle.

The cure lies in the practice net but the golfer must take the remedy regularly for a complete recovrey. There is plenty of temptation even here. How can the golfer know how near the cen- tre of the target his ball is hitting unless he watches It. The point is he won't unless someone does the checking for him. However if the golfer is really concerned with his form, it will not matter where his ball lands so long as he adheres to his resolution to keep his head down. Practice

Liverpool, To-day.

WITH A BRILLIANT finishing burst along the final flat Bogskar, owned and trained by Lord Stalbridge, won the Grand National Steeplechase beating Captain's Scott Brigg's, MacMoffat by four lengths with Mr. J. Neill's Gold Arrow third, six lengths behind.

9 minutes

There were 30 starters and Bogskar covered the course in 3/5 seconds.

Royal Danieli, a four to one favour- ite, led nearly the whole of the first circuit and disputed the lead for most of the way with MacMoffat who took up the running, beginning from se- cond circuit, but was overtaken by Golden Arrow, which looked like pro- viding a sensation.

MacMoffatt regained. the lead was two lengths ahead of Bogskar two fences from home, where Royal Daniele fell.

and When the sarcophagus of King Psusennes was opened in the presence of King Farouk, it was seen to con- tain some of the most beautiful silver and gold that has ever been found in Egyptian excavations.

MacMoffat was first over the last fence but was unable to resist the strong challenge of Bogskar whose time was only one fifth second out- side Golden Miller's 1934 record,

Kilstar, a hot overnight favourite, finished 12th.

Prof. Montet, of Strasbourg Univer- sity, who found the sarcophagus on the site of the ancient city of Tanis, said the contents were of the greatest value to Egyptologists.

Around the actual remains of the mummy, now no more than a heap of sodden dust, was a collection of gold jewellery, including bracelets and necklaces, composed of gold, rubies, lapis lazuli and scarabs.

The man who wanted extra butter is not the only one with ideas about ekeing out his ration. Another diti- zen who suffered from a mysterious brain disorder said he felt much bet- ter when he could have 4lb. or 5lb. of meat, 14 eggs and 12 pints of milk a week.
