HoaV is the "oppoSite guard" play
executed?
BY JOHN SCHOMMER,
Basket Ball Coach, Armour Institute,
Former u. of G. Star.
The "opposite guard" play can be
used successfully against the best
basket ball teams at least three or
five times during a game. A guard
takes the ball out of bounds and the
center and two forwards on his team
rush toward him to take the pass.
However, he does not pass to them.
What he does do lis to blu6 to them
and actually pass to the other guard,
who has run down the floor. This
calls for IA long pass, which must be
directed to an open space and not
to the guard who In receivinE-that
is, allowance must be made for the
speed of the guard who lis to receive
the pass ON the run. Almost always
this play will result in n 'sucking inn
of the opposing players and will
allow a clear shot at the basket. The
guard who makes the pass from out
of bounds must drop back immedi-
ateIy to "cOver up.S

Driver Taking Chance" Kill
ed Five People, |. c. G.
Safety Bureau Declares

The action of Harry Culver, in
driving a motor truck upon a rail
road crossing directly in front
of an approaching passenger train
was responsible for the accident on
the Detroit, Monroe and Toledo div
ision Of the Detroit United line on
December 3, 1924, which resulted
in the death of five persons and the
injury of ten others, the Bureau OF
Safety of the Interstate Commerce
Commission decided today. The &C.
cident occurred at Wyandotte, Mich.
Director Borland, OF the Bureau
of Safety, said:
This accident again calls atten.
ton to the vital necessity for au-
tomobile drivers to approach rail-
road crossings with caution and to
make certain before proceeding over
them that no train is approaching.
''In this case the fNrfver of the
truck was somewhat Rmiliar with
this crossing, at least he knew its
approximate location and that 1t
was unprotected except by a cross
ing sign, and in view of other un-
favorable circumstances, he should
have been driving the truck at such
a rate of speed that could have
been stopped before proceeding
upon the crossing"

easily the outstanding sensation OF

In England, Scotland Ireland and

200 dealers. At the eighteenth inter.
national motor exhibition, organized
by the Society of Motor Manufac.
turers and Traders, Ltd, in connec-
ton with the Royal Automobile
Club, interest was centered on the
Maxwell and Chrsysler display.
This Interest proved real when the
Maxwell-Chrysler Motors, Ltd, of
England, reported that it had sold

the show and had sold more than 100

Car owners abroad like to travel
all day at a speed ranging from
fifty to sixty miles an hour without
overheating and without mechani-
cal difficulty. They want a car
that will stop quickly, ride com
fortably and gives twenty miles at
least to a gallon of gasoline.
Finally, they want good looking

America-four tennis courts on the

refused to sell American-made cars
on the ground that acceptance of
the agency of any car meant, to the
French public, endorsement of it,
and Saint-Didier had yet to find
a car that would compare with
the high-grade French cars the
company handled.

that their progress will be consistent
