When the man in possession of the

certainty of success to a teammate,
ahead of him and free to receive the
ball, the ball may be passed back.
The preference, in attack, should al
ways be given to an opportunity to
pass forward, if it appears reasonably
certain of success. A dribble should
be though of to advance the ball,
but If neither appears to be reason
ably sure of success, the man with
the ball should pivot, and reverse SO
that his back is towards his oppo-

of the ball is of prime Importance.
