Jimmy Thomson Tells

How His Drive Carries Over 280 Yards

(By "Birdio")

YOUNG AND POWERFULLY BUILT, with broad shoulders, a fine pair of hands and strong legs, five foot oleven inches in height and weigh- ing 190 pounds-that is Jimmy Thomson-ac- knowledged by most famous golfers as the longest bitter in the game to-day. On rain soaked turf which has little or no run, he can drive around 280 yards, and with his brassie can smack the littlo ball to almost the same distance.

He did this quite recently on a 550-yard hole, and was just ten feet off the pin when the ball came to rest. He was asked how he could generate so much power, yet so seldom deviate from the pin. Here's his reply:

"Long hitting comes from club-head speed through the moment of impact. On its way to the ball, the club-head should bo gathering speed, reaching its top momentum just as the ball i hit. Most golfers waste their speed before the club-head ever gets to the ball,”

ROYAL NAVY BEAT SOUTH CHINA "B"

Goal In First Few Minutes Decides Match

(By "Rex")

Fielding the same team as that which beat the seniors, Navy advanced one step in the League at the expense of South China “B”, whom they defcated ono goal to nil at Caroline Hill yesterday. They have now to contend with Royal Scots, and, if they should, win, are assured of third place in the League.

Like their previous match with South China “A”, Navy scored within the first few minutes of the game, which half they dominated, and, in the second, were hard pressed to clear their area. South China "B" were un- fortunate, at this time in not levelling the score and going ahead.

Navy's defence was strong throughout. Roughly and Honeywell were a good pair, understanding and covering each

other well. Robinson pulled off some spectacular saves which earned the applause of the crowd.
