UNITED SERVICES' ELEVEN TO CLASH

WITH ARMY TO-DAY

By "Referee”

With the playing fields now open to football, clubs are

endeavouring to get in as much practice as possible in the 10 days left before the first Lea- gue game and several friendly games have been arranged to be played during the week, while the various Batteries and Units have fixed up games among themselves at Stanley and wherever an Army ground is available.

TRAINING THE LEFT HAND

By Best Ball

While there seems to be no short cut to a good golf game except hard practice along the right fundamental lines, one can increase left hand eff- ciency by conscious" control. By this is meant a constant awareness of the job the left hind has to do in golf and the détermination to make the left hand as strong and useful as possible in the swing. In addi- tion to grip strengthening exercise: using an artificial grip strengthener or a rubber ball, there are other methods which can be employed during a day of routine tasks. "This method means the use of the left Hand at any and all occa- slons 'where it can be substi- tuted for the right.

Instead of using the right as usuallet the golfer, employ -the left where possible. Car- rying a pätitage, holding out the left hand to receiveza bundle, taking hold of any object with this hand flrat will, build up this mombor.. land make it take a more
