effective play, when fast
dribbling guard is used. Wee will
take for granted your fast drib-
bling defensive man plays right
guard.
The center taps the ball off latcrly
to the right The right forward
draws his guard up and out toward
the side line. The left forward has
come up on his own side of the
court, drawing his guard with him.
The right guard comes in, takes
the ball while in the air, breaks
into a dribble and goes all the way
through to the basket. Sounds too
simple to be good.
Try it out if you have a fast drib-
bling guard. A slow man could
never get to the basket in time. 1t
is very necessary that the forwards
draw their guards with them as
described, otherwise you cannot ex-
pect the play to go.
Q. What is a technical foul under
amateur rules?
A. Any foul not involving personal
contact.
9. When is a goal or free throw
made?
A. If the ball enters the basket from
