Waterville, Jan. 10--In the first real
practice session of the winter season,
the Colby varsity icebirds crashed
through the seconds md won this
afternoon 81. The contest was a
hot one from the first but the super
Tor ability Of the varsity forwards
and Gray icebirds won on a sensa-
tional goal by Captain Jack" Nc
Gowan in the last few minutes of
play.
The general work IL the seconds
was surprising and their ability in
defense work. especially in guarding
the goal, was Of the highest Calibre.
Time after time, the varsity forwards
sent hot and short shots at Garabe-
dian, only to have him knock them
down from about any angle. Chase
and Drummond made a pretty pair
OF wingmen for the seconds. with the
former Lynn English and kents Hill
star athlete cagipg the only tally for
the seconds. Gould was a. tower OF
strength at center ice for the seconds
and about as flasEy as has been seen
on the ice here this year.
The varsity played like a weil-oiled
machine and in spite of the lowness
of the score, played better hockey
than did their less experienced rivals.
Captain MCGOWAN was the outstand-
ing star with Muir contributing plen-
, ~ of thrills with his excellent work.
, Millett was the stumbling block for
the second forwards and Fagerstrom
went we'll at goal.
From the appearance today, 1t
looks as though Coach Roundy would
have an abundance of first class ma

ture along the lines OF all-star selec-
tions already made annually in base

only fourth. Top position is given
to Gene Tunney. American IFS pound

Georgia schoolboy boxer. second.
The sensational climb of Tiger
Flowers, Atlanta negIc, who is rank
ed next to Champion Harry Greb in
the middleweight division, Is an out
standing feature Of tho list. while
other important developments of 1874
aree listed by Richard as follows.
81. The collapse Of Firpo through
defeats by Wills and Weinert and the
rise of Romero and the further de-
velopment Of Gibbons m the weavy-
weight class.
"2. The success Of Young Strib-
ling, who may have q lot to say in

"a. The decline Of Johnny Dundee
and his resignation Of the world S
featherweight championship due to
inability to make the weight"

positions to Jack Dempsey and Ben

respectively, because CT their mac
tivity during 1924. Dempsey did not
/, defend his title at all, while Leonard
was injured in his only important
match, bout at Cleveland, with Paul
Moran. Richard makes it plain his
rankings are based on last years &C
tual performances and on the basis,
puts Harry Wills. at the top of the
heavyweights and Terris first among
| the Iightweights.
Richard ranks Tom Gibbons next
! to Wills among the heavyweights be-
cause he feels that Gibbons money

two to one score. The game was
fast and well worth watching al
though at times little rough.
In the first period Hen Gardner,

the puck through the Lewiston team
and slid it by Melvin the Jordan
goal. The Jordan boys came back IN
the second period and on rebound
from the back board Haas, the vis1-
tors right defense put the rubber
into the net for Lewiston's only tai
ly of the game. In the third period
on pretty pass by Bradstreet,
Gardner scored the winning point.
Just before the end of the third
period, after Gardner had scored
again, Lewiston carried the puck
down and gave the Cony followers
a breathless moment before McDon-
aid saved the day by very pretty
stop.
In the first two periods the Lewis
ton boys kept the puck in COny ter
ritory little more than Cony could
keep it in the Jordan end OF the ice
but in the third period Cony kept
the visiting team defending their
goal a large part of the time.

What is one successful play
from the tip-off?
BY NELS NORGREN
Basketball Coach, University OF
Chicago

This is how one such successful
play is worked. The center bats the
hall to the left forward, who has
closed in toward the center. The
left forward gives the ball to the
right guard, who has crossed the
floor and is going up the field. The
right guard dribbles until within
shooting distance and then shoots.
The left guard must lay back as de-
fensive man. The right forward
goes UP under the basket he is at
lacking and either serves as a feint,
or, II the right guard is in trouble,
is there to receive the pass from
him and make shot.
