Tips on Playing Basket Ball;
Correct Rule Interpretations
BY ED THORP.

M ANY basket bali candidates
k,JW cat themselves out Of po-
~ sition on the five. Over
eating is a rather common fault,
TOO. We have found the best diet
for basket ball TO be that served in
the bows homes. The meal taken
before the game is the only inlpor-
tant one. 1t should be eaten not
less than two hours before game
time. What we recommend for this
meal are two poached eggs, two
slices of buttered toast and a cup
Of hot but weak tea. Never eat a
heavy meal before game. A tull
stomach is a marked handicap dur
ing play. 1t is preferable to enter
a game on an empty stomach than
to eat too much before hand. Play
crs should watch what they drink
right after a contest. Hot tea is
best. The tendency is to gulp down
something cold. This is detriment

and stomach.
