Tense has its weaknesses.

good teams use it. Whca properly
formed. il requires all the skill and
strategy team can command to
break through it. One fine point
about it is that it keeps Your for
wards from loahng. They must be
ready at all times for the attack
should you recover the ball. An
other good point is that it is prac-
tically impregnable against a team
which sends only three men down
the floor on attack. And a third is
that it permits of 4 breathing spell,
chance to recuperate, when the
opposition is naneuvering Tor posi-

quality is that in forming this bar
