Science Study May Produce Perfect Golf LONDON (CP)--The dream o. every golfer--a series of perfec: shots from tee to green--may be more than just a dream two years from now. The Golf Society of Great Brit- ain, incorporating 15 British clubs, believes anybody should be able to learn the "perfect swing" -- provided its compo- uents are analysed and broker down into 2 practical formula. Eighteen months ago the so- ciety set aside £6,000 for a scientific investigation into the question "what makes a good golf shot?" It appointed a six- man team, including three doc- tors and a ballistics expert, to work on the problem, They now are about half-way through their task. In another 18 months they hope to have enough evidence to publish a book of practical tips that will enable any player to "'groove"' his swing to a consistently suc- cessful pattern. It is likely to be one of the hottest publishing properties in the field of sporting literature and will ignite fierce contro- versy. | Sir Aynsley Bridgland, presi-| 'dent of the GSGB, says the! 'team's experiments have al- {ready upended many long-held jideas about what happens at dif-) iferent stages of a golf shot "Even as far as we've gone," he told reporters recently, "'it's easy to see a lot of things the professionals have told us to do are just not right." LEAFS GET CATCHER TORONTO (CP) -- Toronto Maple Leafs of the Interna-| tional Baseball League acquired catcher Jackie Moore, 23, from Denver of the American Asso- ciation Wednesday. Moore, hit- ting .255 in 32 games with Den- ver this year, will replace catcher J. W. Porter, out with a hand injury. Is Chastity Out Of Date? "Premarital relations?

NUMBERS DECLINING Dick may be racing against time. Reports from the Soviet Un- fon, Greenland and Norway indi- cate that the polar bear is in a decline which might reach the danger point soon. Over-hunting has been blamed. GOLFERS FIND CROWS GUILTY TOTTERIDGE, England (Reuters) -- Golfers at the South Hertfordshire Golf Club here have solved the mystery of the disappearing golf balls. They were philosophical about balls disappearing when hit into the rough. But the players called for a full inquiry when those hit straight and true for the green also vanished. They found crows were swooping down and taking them Now local golfers are using the bigger American golf ball. It is too big for the crows to get their around. -- is the To Join Lions VANCOUVER (CP) -- Gary Schreider, who originally balked at joining -British Columbia} Lions after being traded to the) Western Fooot b a} 1 Conference club by Ottawa Rough Riders; has changed his mind. Lions. general manager Herb Cappozzi said Wednesday that the star linebacker would report today and remain with the club at least for the first half of the season. The Lions obtained Schreider last week in a trade that sent tackles Mel Semenko and Bill Gravam to Otttawa. Schreider, studying law at Os. goode Hall in Toronto, said he couldn't leave the province with- out interfering with his future as a lawyer. He had not signed his 1962 contract with the Rid- ers because Ottawa coach Frank Clair refused to allow him to commute from Toronto @s he had done previously. / Schreider, at 27 entering his gixth season of professional foot.| ball, was defensive captain of! the Riders last year. The five- foot - 11 linebacker graduated from Queen's University, Kings. ton, in 1955. Every drop of Calvert Old Rye must pass 96 rigid quality control checks before leaving our distillery.
