CONTROVERSIAL storms and an avalanche of argument were started early this year by Tot Row's triumph in the rich Santa Anita equine classic. Charges were hurled hack and forth, and it .was alleged that Jockey: Wayne Wright, who rode the 'winning horse, used rough tactics in booting the Baroai colt home. (Tommy Lather, rival jockey In the race, took a poach at Wright afterward because jof Wayne's al leged cewboy tactics, but the com plaints of foul riding were unavail ing' as far as changing the result of the race; ! .- ;ji - f . Early this month the turf again furnished dramatie debates over the tmlooked for defeat of Brevity in the famed Kentucky Derby. The Widener boss, victim of typical Widener bad luck at the start of the Derby, came on only to be nosed out of victory when this same Wayne Wright got a taste of his own rough riding tactics... Loud shoots of fool by supporters of Brevity filled the air, but, as usual, nothing happened.! Golf also f orniahed a controver sial contest this spring, when Hor ton Smith's victory in the Augusta Masters' was laid open to question because of an infraction of the roles. Lawson Little, out of the running, patted oat of tun at the final hole, showing Smith the speed of the rain-soaked green, and en abling him to drop the winning putt into the cup. - Any mention of debatable sports events inevitably brings up the name of that greatest of storm cen ters.

No one can deny that that's an impressive lineup. How ever, with three coaches and a physical director on the squad there's a possibility of friction. Yesterday iwsja an eventful one for us f or we received a post card from f3an Diego. Not an ordinary post card of a ho tel with a window marked with an X and a note (X is my room) . This I was different. It was a post card! with a natural color photograph of the San Diego exposition nudist colony on the front. It; was from Mar vin Ritchie andj Don Stockwell," who are taking in the sights of uiui om-ey-ay . We were surprised that it dldnt say "Having a fine time. Wish you were here." Here's what the boys said: "We iwent to the Padre-Beaver games this afternoon in San Diego,' The unofficial at tendance was I announced as 11, 000 people-but comparisons with Portland crowds revealed there there were not more than 6,500 or 7,000. This wis Just to show how Caiiiornians if exaggerate every thing."

' The badminton stroke Is not a firm-arm follow through as in ten nis but more of a wrist flick. The main shots used are: j The Drive should be struck about net high, either lore or backhand, and should be sent di rectly at opponent or down side lines. , i 1 Drop Shot is a delicate shot with an easy wrist movement and object is to drop the bird Just over the net. .. r I. The Lob is a high shot and is played to the back court, j The Flip Shot is one that Is varied with the long volley and is dropped close to the net with quick flip of the wrist. T ' The Smash Shot is . known as the "kill" and is the most power ful shot Jn the game. j A good deal of practice is re quired to master these shots hot tbis is where the fits comet. . The Service ! -. There are a number of varia tions in the service but one should develop a technique of starting all of them similarly.

I The server mast stand with both feet inihis court, and the bird must be hit from below his waist, on the 1 serve the bird should be held by thumb and fore finger of left hand, bird should be held ontil Just before contact with racket. It is essential to get into positionj;; immediately after the serve. A player should be on his toes at all times, and in singles it is advantageous to play the middle of the; court.

Now we have always found green very restful to the eyes, especially that shade j of green known as "the long green." But then we're never had at chance to focus our eyes on It constantly. That's probably why bankers always have that tired, after-imagy look.
