When q player meets an opposing
forward coming down the floor and
stops him, the usual play of the for
ward is TO reverse his position and
hold the ball away from him. When
that is done a guard should avoid
grabbing the forward by the arm or
waist, as this is foul
His best play is to close on him
with his body, swing his arms over
his opponents left arm and seize the
ball. He should also put his left
foot directly In front of this mans
left foot and a bit TO the right.
The illustration on the left shows
the correct method for breaking up
this play. In the illustration on the
right the guard is behind the for
ward as he turns and is unable to
prevent his passing the ball.
