BEHIND THIS HOUR OF DOUBT

In a message to the Czechoslovakian Republic, Mr. Harold Nicolson recalls the confidence and enthusiasm on the day during the last war when the birth of Czechoslovakia, which at one time sseemed an impossible dream became a reality.

"In this hour of doubt and suffer- ing," he said, "I look forward with confidence to the

Gene Sarazen possesses one of the most experienced games of the golfers who participate in the : winter prize tournaments. He won his first National Open title back in 1922 at Skokie and has been in the

ever thick of golf wars since. For the past two seasons he has participated in fewer events than formerly but nevertheless enough of them to let the more youthful players know he is in the game. Gene doesn't enter these money tournaments as a gesture either. He is after marbles and there is no dangerous a player, or one held in more respect by opponents, when the heavy money chips are down. Sarazen is one of the very few of the top flight players who uses the interlocking grip and while he lauds its virtues highly, he is not

every one to suggest that 'player use it. The work of a gentleman-farmer on his Connec- ticut estate keeps the stocky for- mer champion in shape at all times and embarking for the golf wars means the mere hoisting of his golf bag to be in the thick of it. There is none of the over anxious tyro in Sarazen's method of play. His play is decisive, de- liberate, at times chance taking but never hurried or flustered. He is shown above making a strategic shot to the pin. His stroke is com- pletely under control with no ap- parent effort to hasten matters. Past the half way mark slightly on the downstroke, Sarazen still has his wrist

in cock to aid generating velocity when he un- cocks them. This gives him maxi- mum speed at impact and greater distance.
