HOLDERS ENTER 2ND ROUND
In expectation of some good dawn bowls, a fair sprinkling of spectators turned up at Kowloon Football Club yesterday when H. A. Alves. and F. V. V. Ribeiro, winners of the Open Pairs Bowls title for the last two years, were A. opposed to F. N. Wong and Hyde-Lay in the,, First Round of this year's competition.
And well It was worth their trouble too, for although the holders won by the comfortable margin of 20-12, there was never a, dull moment throughout the 21 heads not even at the last when Hyde-Lay and his partner needed a "possible" to win.
Dick Alves was his usua! steady the gelf but there were times when less-experienced Wong more than held his own against "Dick".
The tussic between the two skips was niwaya interesting. each excelling
in turn though it must be said that "'Chico" Ribeiro had a slight edge on Hyde-Lay. It was at the 3rd end that the latter had the misfortune to remove one of his own shots when lying, and gave the count to the holders, A5 It was it did not make much differ- ence to the scores, but it might have meant everything, had the count been more even towards the later stages of the match.
Welcome Four
Scores came in singles and twos ull the 13th when the holders chalked up a very welcome four, for at that stage they were only leading 8--7. After adding another single they conceded two singles in a raw to tead 13-9 but 3 and 2 gave them a fairly safe mar gin. After giving away another single they scored two more singletons at the 20th and 21st respectively to win 20—12. And now for the very Interesting final end. Wong bowled like a machine to cluster three of his four woods round the jack but he was soon robbed of the advantage when "Chico" drove and took the jack into the ditch. Hyde- Lay got to within a yard of the ditch and Ribeiro was a trifle short with bis next and saw Hyde-Lay add another. Then Ribeiro came heavy and knocked up one of his front woods to score the shot and bring the game to an end.

dom of action is curtailed for. instance if the left shoulder fails to turn aside-out of the path of the stroke, When the right side finds It necessary to press the left shoulder out of the way, the shot is not only going to lack smoothness but it is also likely to lack ac- curacy and distance. True the golfer is not always able to recognise whether his left shoulder has turned aside or not. So the next time one feels that he is failing to put punch into the shot; that he is failing to contact the ball with the centre of the club- face, let him look to the left shoulder. Further symptom of trouble here is a lifting stroke which gives the ball a hook- ing tendency.
The solution lies in turning the left shoulder back quick- ly to its address position on the down-swing. In fact the
