NEAR UPSETS AT FOREST HILLS Drobny, Cucelli & Gorgeous Gussie Pull Through

Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 31.-Miss Shirley Fry of Ohio and gorgeous Miss Gussic Moran of California entered the third round of the American Women's Tennis Championships today with straight set victories over unscedod players.

Miss Fry had little difficulty with Mrs Virginia Johnson of Massachusetts, winning 6-1, 6-4. But Miss Moran, who wore a simple tennis dress in preference to her celebrated lace-pantled costume in hr Centre Court debut, was extended in defenting Miss Betty Struthers of California, 6-2, 8-6.

Seeded sixth, Miss Moran played like a ranking swinger in the first set but Mrs Struthers broke her service four times in the second set simply by outrunning Gussie in prolonged exchanges. With the score. at 6-6, Miss Moran broke her opponent's service and quickly held her own to run out the match.

Team Of The Year

London, Aug. 31-The flying start made by the young and thrustful Wolverhampton Wanderers' side in the English premier soccer division has brought them eight points from four games and stamped them as the possible team of the year.

Considered to be still on the raw side when win- ning the coveted F. A. Cup last season, they have matured into a polished combination which, according to critics, is going to take a lot of beating.

BEN HOGAN'S "POWER GOLF” 9.-The Backswing

There are two crises which the average golfer |reaches during the course of the natural golf swing which might be called the Crossroads of Golf. Should you, make a wrong turn at either of these crossroads there is nothing but disaster ahead.

The first of these comes at the moment when the clubhead moves away from the ball at the start of tho backswing. The second occurs at the top of the back- swing, when it is time to start the downswing.

Discussing these crises In shoulders rotating around this onder, however, let us consider hub. This will insure à perfect the first, which takes place, all are of the club on both the the exact moment when you backswing and the downswing. move the clubhead away from The right leg does not the ball, The
