CAPTAIN SlDWELl IN ACTION

Coach M>Avoy. Of Dre1el, has A
vetcran team again representing the
West Ph,adelphians in the cage. Four
Of last years team formed the nucleus
about which he mcided his quintet.
Captain S!dwell is again In harness.
jumping crnte- and tossing the free
throws. The other veterans are Con.
nell, at guard Welnherger. at forward,
and Straubcl, last yesr stellar for'
ward, but this year a better guard.
Tho only new man oa the tenn is
Bill" Greenwood, Of Wilmington High
who seintlla.ed on tho rridiron thls
wear for Drexel. Although the team has
not mads a very enviablc record so far,
y has been playing q crcditablc game.
The opening game nf the season was
won from the Wilmington All.Colle-
eiarS By a 4o-39 score after q torr.d
tusslc which required an extra period.
The next three games wors al nlNyed IN
foreign loan and resulted in defeats.
PCnn. Rutgers and Haverford taking
the measure Of the Blue and Gold.
Experiment Game
II will be remembered that Drexel In
stitute was the victim of the Penn
Sasketballers tine night the. new fou'
ruling was tried out. Instead Of the
fouled person taking n shot from the
| foul line he was given n free play md
could shoot for the basket from the field
| II he wished. Coach McAvoy was not
at NJ impressed with the rev ruling.
"It gives the larger man decided
| advantage oVe- the smaller one. \ man
! Ike Wplnbcrger on our team, with his
height Of about five feet, had no chance
against six -footer like Bill Grave. a
small man could be foulcd time And
time again SIS he vas taking a shot foi
the basket. Bnd on the FREQ play he bac
no chance of converting il into fciC
goal II he had a six-fcoter towerins
over him. And then IL makes foulinl
in the back court virtually unpunish
able. The only play which can be mad'
! Is a free pass 10 teammate, which
most likely would have happened any
how.
MY idea of a new foul ,uling woul'
he as follows: Now get this straight
I would have the man who commits tn
foul step to the opponents foul line AM
take shot for the opponents haskell
II he succeeds in netting the ball th
foul does not count against his team
II he fails to register the goRl the team
fouled is awarded one point and the bal
is in play imUcdlately, right In thei
territory. Sounds like radical change
III admit, but l think that II woul
solve the puzzle, 1t would certainl
DO better than Ii" method which W
tried out against Penn
Gym Remodeled
During 'he holidays the symnnsiur
nj Drexol will be rcmodcicd. The nres
ent Nill-bnN Is entirely too small {
play or practice on. aud Dregel is a!
ways handicapped on II large hoor. D
the other hand, visiting quintets find
hard to get accustomed to Drexel's cage
The new cage will be regulation s!z
and will be a vast improvement over th
old one.
