my teams, at least according to spec
tators. We do not seem to have one.
However, I always have contended
that the strongest defense is a smash
ing offense. The team with the ball
has the advantage. Our guards con t
wait to guard-they get the ball be-
fore the opponents reach their objec-
tive, thus leaving the guarding up to
them.
The f1ve-man defense is effective,
but not good basketball. 1t weakens
your offense and interferes with team
growth. None of my teams ever has
encountered a five-man defense with
its many variations, which could not
be penetrated.
The tive-man defense slows up
games and spells the spectacle for
the crowds. am against it.
Summing all methods of playing,
the most effective is to play the ball
and not the man. Many fouls are
thus eliminated. e
Keep your mind on the ball, and
your hands off your opponent, and
put your heart and soul in the game.

the belief there is not enough good

the refusal of the commission to al

Complaint was made last summer
that Rickard had obtained a monOp-

blocking attempts to use the big ar

Press Seat Troubles
More than half of the working
newspaper men in New York are now
barred out of the Garden press box
by the ruling of the commission that
seats near the judges on two sides Of

This action has been interpreted in
some political circles as being an
attempt to get Richard in bad with
