FOR MICHIGAN COMMUNITIES A new and different service of Michi­ gan State College has been inaugurated and will be offered to Michigan com­ munities this fall. It is known as the "Cap and Gown" series and combines the best talents of Michigan State faculty and students into a series of programs of entertainment for Michigan communities which don't normally have a concert-lecture series of their own. Under the direction of Assistant Alumni Director John McGoff, '50, the series will present a play by M.S.C. thespians, concerts by the A Cappella Choir and Concert Band, and a choice of one of five experienced faculty travel lecturers. This fall, three Michigan communities have selected the series: Grand Haven, Greenville (one night performances for each of the three programs), and the communities of Kaleva, Bretheran and Onekema (joint sponsorship with the play, "Gramercy Ghost" slated for two nights). Purpose of the series, says McGoff, is to bring the best campus entertain­ ment to Michigan communities which otherwise do not have regular civic enter­ tainment series. McGoff adds that in this, the first year of the series, only four communities were scheduled to re­ ceive the programs. "Dependent upon its success initially, the series will be broadened to include more communities in the years to come."

"This back- spin produces a cushion of air, which gives the ball lift. As long as it spins with sufficient speed, it will keep rising, and when this stops, it falls." A ball hit by a wooden club, with a flat face, spins about 2,000 revolutions a minute. One struck with an iron club, with a sharply slanted face, spins 6,000 to 8,000 revolutions a minute. Production of Backspin "The happy combination for a good tee shot is high velocity and a maximum of backspin," Dr. Osgood says. "To pro­ duce this backspin, the club head must travel downward through the center of the ball, and it is here that the average golfer has trouble. "That's because he thinks he has to lift the ball up, and this causes him to pull his swing. Actually, the uplift is provided by the spin, and the spin by hitting down and through."
