Within the next Day or two Craig Wood 1941 open Golf Champion of the United states will be out of the Hospital after one of the most serious operations that can happen to the human spine. And the human spine int just an ankle ligament. It is something close to the Center of life. We bring up this Point for at least one important reason. At the age of 41, Wood made a desperate Effort to join the a. Lines. No one Ever worked harder to be ready for this Marine test. Craig almost got by until the final Board discovered his spinal weakness and turned him Down knowing at the time that he was just the Type the marines wanted. By that i mean Craig had the head and the heart the personality that Means leadership the physical setup the competitive nature the marines ask for above everything else. So Craig went to the Hospital where for nearly nine hours they Cut and slashed to remove his spinal ailment. They had to Cut through the heavy Muscles of a 200-Pound athlete to reach the main trouble. It was a Gam we. But it was a Gamble that Craig wanted. First to get in the marines. Second if this was impossible to carry on his Golf profession. It is Only natural that Wood is now waiting anxiously to see How the operation worked out As far Ashi Golf swing happens to be concerned. Waiting for the test in the past there have been times when he had no idea whether he could Start a tournament or finish one after starting. He was faced with this predicament at it. Worth two years ago in the National open. Here was another Chance at the big prize after nearly Twenty years of hard Luck and he Wasny to sure he could play through seventy two holes. For he was handicapped by a major knot in his spine and one leg dragging several inches Shorter than the other leg. A a Fine time to be crippled a Craig remarked. Starting play he looked something like 200 pounds of egyptian Mummy with the various bandages and tape plastered on and around his system. But he came through to be the open Golf Champion of the u. S. Just what the future holds Only time can Tell. His main ambition is to be with the malines. His second is to help in collecting War funds through his Golf. But he will have to wait several weeks before he will be Able to see How much help the operation has brought him. A More simplified game a a there should be More Golf played through the War by older men who need the exercise a a Wood told me in his Hospital room. A a after the War i believe we will have the biggest Golf Boom the 500-year-old game has Ever known. It will be terrific. But on a cheaper scale where More of the millions can afford to play. �?�1 am also Strong for a More simplified approach to better Golf. The game has been made entirely too Complex. Quot the average golfer has been faced with too Many a done to. He has been offered too Many roads to the right swing hip action pivoting head control stiff left Arm foot action weight distribution no wonder he has been snarled up. Quot i believe in a few simple does. Chief of these is More hand action in swinging the club head. I have never believed in a big body turn or too much pivoting. Just get comfortable in your stance and try to remember what your hands and wrists Are trying to do with the club head. I have always believed in a closed or shut stance. But the better than average golfers of the future must Home to what Yon might Call More simplified natural  in the meanwhile there int a golfer who wont be pulling for Craig Wood to be a set and ready for any work he May have on  Grinders play August 25 Chicago the tenth annual All Star football game will be played August 25 at Northwestern University a Dyche stadium instead of soldiers Field Chicago. The Chicago Tribune which sponsors the Anual Charity game said that the change had been made to avoid excessive rental. Hie games profits will be donated to the Chicago servicemen Scenter which feeds and entertains 125,000 servicemen weekly. This year the Washington redskins National league pro football champs will meet a selected squad of College stars which will not be restricted to graduating College seniors. Frank Richart Secretary of the big ten faculty athletic committee said that undergraduates who Are now servicemen May compete and also receive Money for playing. Last year 101,000 persons witnessed the All Star game at soldiers Field. The standing room capacity of Dyche stadium is 50,000.Wilson Kaytes Petro Washington d. C.
