Remember this" | said to Suzanne
THE ball never has to wait for the
player; il is the player who has to
wait for the ball. You must get as

the ball is going to land as soon as
possible for if you arrive late YOU
have neither the time nor the facility
TO return it in the proper fashion.
You must then either miss 1t or
return it so weakly that your oppo-
nent has you at his mercy.
Miss Ryan Example of Speed.

the habit of pushing forward with
the body about the instant the ball is
