Cobb of North CarOlina's South
ern intercollegiate championship
five was one Of the best players in
the country last year i'm breaking
for the basket with a lightning
like dribbie that wound up with q
basket for his team. Cobb made
these baskets with One-hand push
shot, a shot secured by dribbling
right underneath the rim and then
Ieaping high with the ball resting
on one hand. At the top Of the
jump the arm is extended as far as
possible above the head and the
ball Is pushed slightly with the
fingers as 1t leaves the hand.
Practically all players who use
this shot carOm the ball off the
blackboard into the basket. The
view i'm the diagram Looking
Down" shows the angle IL Is played.
Lay the ball against the blackboard
some IS inches above the side of
the ring, then 1t will rebound
neatly into the basket. Note any
one-hand push-shOt player of skill
and you will find that his leap Is a
high jump. Those who miss this
shot, which is always an easy one
for the skilled player, either broad
jump instead of high jumping. or
else they strike the blackboard too
close to the ring of the basket.
The best practice Is to dribble
slightly ahead of player In order
to get accustomed to being rushed.
Otherwise the practice will be
wasted and the player, trying the
shot In game. will invariably
rush himself into broad jump i'm
his anxiety to beat his guard to
the basket.

BOYS CLUB
BY FRED TURBYVILLE.

Tomorrow is the second Saturday in
the last month of the year. Not many
more Saturdays left in 1926. On the
first Saturday in January members of
boys club athletic organiza tions
throughout the country started on a
'00-mile hike. BY now few of the
contestants no doubt have completed
the 500 miles. How many boys in
Washington have finished to date?
An average of 10 miles a week
throughout the year would total 500
miles or more. Ten miles a week is
not too much. The boy who hikes 10
miles a week will be better for it than
the boy who remained at home. Hik.
ing is great sport.
Dan O'Leary. now nearing his
eighty-seventh birthday, has been a
hiker since he was big enough to
walk. He says he'll live a quarter
of a century longer and will hike
every day of that time. He hiked
100000 miles. If you hiked only
500 miles a year it would take you
600 years to equal Dan OLeary's s
mark. You all know that much arith-
netic.
