COLBY barriers AND /
ICEMEN WORKING HARD
FOR COMING EVENTS

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Waterville, Jan. Pin spite of
the adverse weather conditions this
afternoon. Coaches Ryan and Helie
kept their charges busy at Colby COL
lege with relay and hockey practice,
respectively. The bitter and cutting
wind made the workouts very slow
and cold, but both mentors did not
want to waste a day of work and
kept their men busy the better part
Of the afternoon.
The relay team candidates were
worked extra hard this afternoon,
for there is a possibility that Coach
Mike Ryan may be compelled to fill
two places on the team instead of
one. The sprained ankle that took
McGarry from the team was the
hardest blow that the Blue and
Gray track mentor has had this year
and 1t will mean a slower relay team
to represent Colby at the Millrose
and Boston A. A. meets which are
to come off within the next two
weeks. 1t was stated this evening
that undoubtedly McGarry would be
unable to run in either of these two
important meets unless the injury
proves to be less than it looks at
present. The candidates for the two
places with the Colby fiiers are
working hard and the competition
will be stiff for these honors.
Coach Helie gave his men q Sc
we're test this afternoon on the ice
and will work them again tomorroJ
lightly in the final preparation for
the game with Bowdoin at Bruins
wick, which is scheduled to come of
Wednesday afternoon. Coach Helie
realizes that the Colby ice birds will
meet strong opposition from the
Black and White outfit. which has
improved greatly since the first
game with Bates. The Bowdoin
team had not been on the ice before
the Bates game and showed up
mighty well considering that fact.
Bowdoin did far better work against
the st. Dominique team at Lewiston
last week than did the University
of Maine. The Blue and Gray coach
is working hard to secure some ac-
.curate passing among the members
of the team. This feature so neces-
sary to the success of n team has
been noticeably lacking in the Colby
outfit and Helie is determined to
correct that glazing fault.

Answered by
DIR. FORREST ALLEN

Director Of athletics, University Of
Kansas. His team won the cham
pionship in it's section last year and
has been undefeated for ~ straight
games. ;
When the ball Is kept constantly
IN motion by the offense there Is q
psychological point involved which
must not be underestimated. The
defense Is unconsciously made to
feel the loss of the possession OF the
main object of the game--the ball.
This subconscious feeling prolonged.
grows into the feeling of the loss of
the game, and often results In a
complete breakdown for the team
constantly on the defensive.
In basketball where players are
forced to play the ball instead of the
man, the offense Is much stronger
than the defense. No team can con-
tinue on the offensive without keep
ing the possession of the ball. This
possession can be obtained only by
'cleyerness on the part of five wide
awake men, skilled in swift accurate
passing in certain definite passing
lanes, and who keep their ball per-
petualy in motion.
