Thomas. Dewey" Schwankert and
"Blackie" Regain enabled the local
representatives to draw out ahead in
the closing minutes of their contest
with the Commonwealth Five in the
opening game of the series on the
Auditorium court Saturday night. Six
points separated the teams at the
finish, the score being 1922.
The general play of both teams
was interfered with somewhat by the
slippery floor and in addition to this,
players on both sides missed many
apparently easy shots. All of the
eight baskets credited to the visitors
were made under the basket. The
negroes were not successful in pull
Ing any of the spectacular shots as
In the games of last year.
Fall dropped in a foul for the
hrst point of the game and a short
time later Captain Thomas register
ed a counter from the fifteen foot
line. Thomas was playing in the
backfield with Schwankert, while
Pegan and Handerhan were in the
advanced positions.
The first basket of the contest vas
made by Hubbard, a follow-in shot,
and Pete Eggers followed with a two
counter for Amboy, having succeed
ed in getting away from his elongat-
cd opponent, Jim Sessions. For the
remainder of the half the going was
nip and tuck, both teams missing
numerous shots. The lead changed
DIS several times during the
period, the negroes holding a two
.olnt lead, L-9, at the bell.
During the opening period each
=. made three field goals and the
locals made three out of four foul at
telhpts. The negroes made good five
of their seven chances from the flf-
teen foot line.
Continues Close
Shortly after the start of the sec
ond period Schwankert went down
for a basket but this score was fol-
lowed by Jenkins two pointer. Ray
~tIanderhan made a tally on a cut-in
shot and added a foul, making the
local lead three points. The negroes
continued to battle and once again
tied the score.
For the next two or three minutes
both teams guarded close and there
was little scoring. With the tally
17-I7 Schwankert went through for
a field goal and the local squirt was

1t has become an axiom that sue
cessful defensive line play depends
upon the sharp aggressive use of
hands while breaking through. The
offensive line at the point of attack
charges ahead, seeking to make con-
tact with the shoulder against the
body of defensive lineman. The de-
fensive lineman, with his legs held
like those in positions similar to
those of the wrestler avoids the
charge by striking the opponent
aside, at the same time stepping
through into the play. The sharp,
aggressive striking with the hands
in the effort to break through is the
essential characteristic of the good
defensive lineman. The good defen-
slve lineman must also be able when
he finds himself at the point of the
play, to get quickly to the ground,
spilling the play by taking out as
many legs as possible.
