tContnued From Preceding Page) present aggregation.
 Coach Blood, who has played a leading role in Passaics winning streak, has some definite and unusual views on basketball.
 Get the ball, keep the ball, put the ball in tho basket. Those are Blood's three pet theories on deycl- oping winner.
 No Specialists on Team
 The Passaic coach does not believe in specializing. He feels that every member of the squad should work to be good shot. Coach Blood is firm in the belief that a smashing offensc is the very best defense. He regards the ilve-man defense as effective but not good basketball because it slows up the action.
 Play the ball and not the man. is another axiom of the passaic coach. This he believes eliminates roughncss because of personal contact and cuts down tho fouls called.
 Blood has no time for the individ- ual star. places teamwork first at all times, and is keen for types in select ing his players.

Then how do the Studebakers so far undersell any comparable cars?
 Because we build so many. The fixed costs are diviSsd by enormous output-lso,ooo cars per year.
 Because we build our own bodies. The saving to you on some types is up to $500 per car.
 Because we make our own forg- ings, saving another profit there.
