visit, the capital of the Blue Grass
the cities that acclaim him the most
popular amateur golfer in the world
today.
Jones came to Lexington on the
invitation of the Ashland Golf club
where he gave an exhibition match
Saturday morning for the benefit of
the Children's Home at the Ashland
course.
Bobby arrived in Lexington Friday
morning, accompanied
by Watts
Gunn, his playing partner and very
close personal friend, and his mother,
Mrs. R. P. Jones, Sr. The party was
met by Scott Hudson, former Lexington trotting horse man and friend
of the Jones family. After breakfasting at the Phoenix hotel the party
was taken on a tour of the famous
Blue Grass. Under the direction of
Mr. Hudson, Bobby was shown some
of the finest thoroughbred stables in
Kentucky, among them being the historic Idle Hour Stock Farm Colonel
E. R. Bradley, sponsor of the Ashland
Golf club and dean of Kentucky
sportsmen.
Although Jones did not win the exhibition match, he won the good will

pends largely on three things coolness and skill in getting the ball off,
precision in sending it to just the right
spot so that the receiver won't lose
time or be confused, and deception of

the other team as to the fact the

play is going to be a pass.
Last fall Dartmouth kept two teams
working for an hour every practice
season, just perfecting those three
elements of the forward pass (and
incidently perfecting the defense, for
when Team A was passing Team B
was trying to brak the passes up).
Our open game was effective because
we spent so much time on every 'detail
of it.
Let's see what that first element
and skill in getting
the ball off. There's just one thing
that will make a good, forward passer
jf a fellow, and that's practice a, lot
of it! The boy' who wants to learn
to pass must spend some time in the
spring, and some more in the summer,
on his passing. He might as well do
some indoor work in the winter, too.
"Red" Grange taught himself to pass
by hard practice all through one

game in Lexington. One feature of

drives made by Jones, with seemingly

executed some very difficult shots in
an exceedingly capable manner.
At the onclusion of the match
Jones and his party went to the trotting events, but due to the condition
of the track the races were not run.
Bobby was expected to attend the
Kentucky-Maryvilfootball game as
the guest of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon

You

propels the pigskin with very little
arc. Always remember this let go
of the ball, while your hand is high.
By doing that you're making it a lot
harder for the opposing forwards to
interfere with your throw. I've seen
Jyoung passers who used a low side
arm throw and could not hgure why
so many of their passes were blocked!
Your thumb lets go of the ball
first, and the fingers with their grip
across the lacing, give it the even spin
that is so important.
Coolness that means throwing the
ball when you are ready, not letting
the other fellows rush you into bad
throws, making up your mind just
where you want to send it. Of course,
your team must be able to block out
opposing forwards. Coolness is1 another thing that comes of practice
and experience.
And it works right in with the second element I named precision in
sending the ball to just exactly the
right spot.
In spring practice at Dartmouth we
used to throw footballs at targets with
holes in the center. In the summer
work I used to do to get in condition
I often got boys to act as targets
they'd hold their hands in front of
the chests, or above their heads, or in
any of a dozen positions, and I'd keep
pegging away until I became pretty
sure of hitting the mark. All of that
was to develop precision
