H If ever there was a follow

not only brings his arm all the
way through, he leaps into the

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. Just forget
you have relinquished the ball
Illinois Remains
Six-Point Favorite
PASADENA, Calif. (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

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

and keep your arm going in the

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

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
