are other good vaudeville acts

Team Work Secret of
Basketball Success

The winning team nearly al
ways plays the ball all the time.
And the real thing in basketball
is to have possession of the ball
and be able to shoot.
Team work is the most Import
ant thing a team must have to
win. Stars are a detriment unless
they are willing to enter into team
work with the other men. Often
team play is spoiled by one or two
men hogging the ball and trying
to dribble up to the basket for a
shot.
The dribble should never be
used IL there is a man it can be
passed to. 1t comes into play II
the man with the ball is just out
of the distance for a sure shot.
Then by a quick dribble he gets
nearer to the basket. Dribbling
the whole length of the floor is
not good basketball and should
not be used.
Fast, accurate passing is the
thing that every team should
work to make perfect.
