BASKET BALL SECRETS
BY Sol Metzges
When Guarding Out-ef. Bounds Plays.

A player should not stand di-
rectly in front of an opponent who
Is about to throw the ball in from
out Of bounds. as that leaves an
opening for, this opponent to run
through and cut for the basket
after he has passed the ball into
the court TO teammate.
The position to take is to stand
to one side Of this opponent. the
side toward the basket he is defend
ing, 90 as to force the opponent
to go toward the center of the
court. This Is one of the little
points about basket ball that will
keep down the score of an oppo-
nent by reducing the number of
chances he has of shooting for
the basket

The forward pass and the point
after touchdown are expected to draw

called game, az NO score was kept
and substitutions were frequent on
both sides, but it afforded everybody
an opportunity to take several good
swings at the pill and gave the West
ern coach a chance to look over the
offerings of four of the aspirantssfor
mound jobs.
The performance is to be repeated
today, with another quartet of huri'
