asking how team can break

only way know is to start speedy
short passing attack in your back

The players should move at high
rate of speed, crossing the floor
from side to side and passing the
ball as often and as fast as is pos

the time the center OF the floor is
passed the defense will be confused
and opened up. OF course, only four
men can be used in the attack after
this point has been reached. as one
must remain back for defensive pur-
poses. as we'll as to receive back

YANKEES GET PENNOCK
FROM BOSTON FOR TRIO

NEW YORK. January 31.-The
Yankees got Pitcher Herb Pennock
from the Red Sox yesterday in one Of
the most one-sided trades in the his
tory of the American League.
In return for the veteran Boston
southpaw the Yanks handed over
George Murray, right-handed pitcher:
Norman Mcmillan. third baseman and
outflelder. and Camp Skinner. out
fielder. Needless to say no money
was passed over to Harry Frazee.
Either Murray or Mcmillan is as
valuable as the aging Pennock, and
Skinner is not far behind.
TIE Pennock trade is the first in
= general reorganization of the
Yanks. With five veteran right
handlers and one tried and true
southpaw on their staff the Colonies
are now ready to proceed with that
trade for Eddie Collins. They have

LOS ANGELES. Calf, January 81
Charles W. Paddock, world champion
sprinter, is in the best condition az
his career, and he will have a better
chance this season to break records
than ever before, according to Coach
Dean Cromwell of the University of
Southern California, who is in charge
of Paddock's training.
Paddock should have the greatest
year ever experienced by any sprint
err said Coach Cromwell. Il have
never seen runner in finer condition
after years lay-off. He is in as
good shape now as when he raced AT
Antwerp. He was nineteen at Ant
werp. when he defeated the worlds
best runners.
Since then he equaled all sorts of
world records on the Pacific coast.
Now he is twenty-three years old
His leg muscles have developed. and
he mas lost none of the never-say-die
spirit. If ever sprinter had a chance
to go under 3-5 seconds for the 100
yard dash, Paddock has it,
1t is said Paddock will run on n
number of eastern cinder paths this
