SAYS FOOD WOULD HURT
IRISH HUNGER STRIKERS

LONDON. Oct. 13.-Dr. MacFie, ia
nous authority on dictetics, writing
in the Daily News, protests against
false reports" that Terence McSwin-
ey and the hunger striking Sim Fein
prisoners at Cork are being surrep-
titiously fed.
DR.. MacFie says a small amount OF
food would hurt rather than help the
prisoners. He points out that food
would encourage the heart to undue
exertion which probably would hasten
death.

THE WONDER FINE-the scoring

This is the ideal which every bas-
ketball coach builds towards. but he
is always handicapped In securing the
cogs so necessary TO It.
In considering such a team the
coach looks first TO tho personnel
the tall rangy men with height FOR
fOllOw-up shots and who handle the
ball in a high plane.
Then. in the defensive zone, there
must be men with stonewall qualities

on this WONDER FIVE there Is a
place for the long shooter. Take a
team that has i've good shooters on
the floor and they are an almost GER
tain high-scoring machine.
Probably In an average college game
one out Of every four shots are scored
from beyond the seven-yard zone.
Some teams rely on slipping the ball
into the basket at close range. play
ing the back board from the side.
Their average Is probably one out Of
two within the lve-yard radius.
Then again there Is the slam-bang
hit-Or-miss shooter. The nearest COM
parison / can think OF for this batter
in the hit-and-run play In baseball.
In basketball they call him the fol-
low-up shooter. Every team needs a
player Of this type. His playing IS al
ways a threat.
Many a game is won on this driv-
iag-up method OF attack. A Ions
shooter can be hurried a close shot
can be smeNed, but the following
scoring play cannot be checked.
The rules Of the game call for open
play with much scoring. However. ir

In football we have clever open field
runners. So on the basket court there
are the floor men playing on the bail.
They dribble cleverly. but II takes a
smart piece Of defensive play TO stop
these speed men.
Also on the gridiron the open field
tackle is appreciated. So II is in the

on the ball mot the mani is a most
valuable cog on the defensive.
As In all other sports the glory goes

In baseball a player is credited with
an assist for making a good stop or
