TN no game does psychology play
SO important part as in golf I
recall one instance in my career on
the links which provides peculiar
illustration of this truth, which all
golfers will admit.
1t occurred on the Magnolia Coun-
try Club course at Manchester-by-
the-Sea, Massachusetts,, eight years
ago. My partner was a Chicagoan,
whose name, il I remember correctly,
was Harris.
Playing one hole, a 180-yard affair,
calling for midiron from the tee,
q big, fat woodcock flew down on the
green, alighting just in front Of the
flag as I started my back swing. 1t
was looking for worms, suppose.

hit that bird" said Harris.
TIL take it," / seid.
The ball was high and on a direct
line toward the flag. 1t came down
with bang, struck the woodcock
squarely in the middle of the back
and broke it.
The ball stopped dead, right at the
cup. l sank 1t. for a two.
Lots of folks will say that this shot
was lucky. Without conceit, 1t
seems to me it was more than that.

Answered by
NELS NORCREN,

N6A0 ANOk\Ok\1ANS
Coach of basket ball, University of
Chicago. Famous for the speed and
sighting determination OF his teams.
X + + <
The most important single ele-
ment in basket ball defense is the
problem of covering and sticking
to" his opponent by each player on
the defense until a player of the
defensive team gets possession of
the ball. This point of defensive
play is the most difficult to teach
forwards and centers, because they
always have the impulse of offense
foremost in their minds and do not
care to be bothered with the prob
lem of defense. With the guards
the defensive idea is foremost, and
they more readily learn to cover
and stick to" their opponents.
So many players, especially those
beginning their college play, think
it sufficient to go after the op-
ponent with the ball, forcing him
to pass to his teammate. They then
turn their attention to the ball,
neglecting the player who has been
forced to pass. AS a result, this
neglected player may get into the
play again unhampered. In fact,
players defensive work is only half
finished when he forces an oppo-
nent with the ball to pass it. He
must stay with the opponent until
the defense team gets possession of
the ball.
