He not only brings his arm all the way through, he leaps into the Sir. Maybe Harry overdoes It a little bit simply because he is carried away or maybe because Jie is a great showman, but his Jorm on the follow through is worth careful study. You may have a perfect ap proach, pendulum swing and .tall release, yet fail to score Jwell because you did not com plete the follow through. The arm should come forward un til it is at least head high. ' The follow through should be a natural continuation of your pendulum swing.

(UP11 -Illinois remained a steady, six point favorite today to ond Washington's string of victories in the Rose Bowl Wednesday and re-establish the Big Ten's domination of the New Year's Day football classic. The hard-grinding Illinois team frequently has been called unspectacular as it relied upon its defensive strength to force opponents into mistakes. But Coach Pete Elliott hinted that the Illinois might on up the game with more of a razzlc dazzle offense. IlKnois piled up a record of 'seven victories, one loss and one tie in capturing Die Big Ten championship. Washington carried a record of six wins and four losses into the Rose Bowl, poorest In the history of the game. The Huskies hold a two game Rose Bowl winning streak. Coffey Fractures Hone The game originally had been considered a battle of powerful fullbacks with Washington's Jun ior Coffey competing against the mini's Jim Grabowski. But the injury-prone Coffey 10 days ago suffered a hairline fracture in one of the small bones of his left foot, behind the liitlc toe. Coffey still may see some ac tion but Coach Jim Owens said ( Fie was depending on Charlie J Browning and Mike Kublcnki to carry the load at fullback. Both teams h;ive able quarter ' backs and Washington was ' strengthened b Hit? return to J notion of Bill Silcr who misMxl all except the opening gar o( the season due to illness. As a result. Bill Douglas took over and developed into an excellent signal -caller. The lllini alternate Mike Tal iaferro and Fred Custardo at quarterback where they have done more running and ball handling than passing. The speedsters for the lllini are half backs Sam Price and Jim War ren. The Huskies have a pair of . capable halfbacks also in Ron Medved and Dave Kopay and a svatback punt and kickolf re turn artist In Steve Brumwcll. CONSOLIDATE YOUR SMALL BILLS 1870 Se.

Do this and your ball will have proper direction and nat ural speed. IIAHKY SMITH Jumping Hurry Smith is not rd not only for winning tourna ments, but for the tremendous leaps he gives and tody English he uses while waiting for the ball to strike the pins. The 33-year-old string beun (5-11, 148) has won more than 30 tourna ments niul rolled 42 perfect games CI7 unsanctioned). He rolled two consecutive 300 games while scoring an 879 se ries in a 1059 exhibition. Smith, who is 33, was born In Cleve land and started hrmling in 1041. Has Strong Defense The secret ot Illinois' success, however, has been the strength of its line led by All-America center and linebacker Dick But kus witli Archie Sutton and Bill Minor joining him to gi'c it belt and strength. Elliott is not tampering with the combination that won the Big Ten title and will start the backiicld of Taliaferro, Grabow ski, Price and Warren. 'I'lie line is made up of But kus iit center; Bill Paski and Mike Summer at ends; Sutton and Minor at tackles and Wylie Ko. ind Kd Washington at guards. Browning was given the start ing fullback call by Owens with Medved and Kopay at halfback and Douglas at fullback.

This classic match of sound defense and careful ball-controlling offense against varied and surprising offense will enable the winner to claim the nation al championship. Texas coaches concede the brilliance of Staubach but have emphasized tlie quality of the rest of Navy's squad during prc-game maneuvers. At the same time Navy Coach Wayne Hardin has rcwatcdly empha sized the strength-in-depth of the Texas squad. The odds makers have made Texas a timid one-point choice.

Auburn Coach Shug Jordan, discarding tlie caution characteristic of his trade, has predicted his Tigers will win "because we've gotten every team we've played.'"
