most exciting of any yet played. al
though few followers of the court
sport were present TO witness the fray.
Business guarded the Champions
closely from the start and held them
TO trio of points during the first 10
minutes. Central kept plugging away,
however. and at the three -ouartel
mark was holding a 10-to-4 lead, the
Stenographers having failed to score
from scrimmage.
A Business rally at the start of the
final nearly sent Central under. Evans
found the hoop for two-counter to
start the scoring and was immediately
matched by Capt. Lafsky. whose goal
brought the count to 10 to s. Banta
put Central ahead again with a court
goal but Jones of Business, who was
filling in for Ford. sank one from near
the center of the court and when
fouled by Swift added another tally.
This left Central with Only a l2-to-l1
advantage, but Moser managed to
score two perfect shots near the close
of the fray to give his team a more
substantial margin.

BASKET BALL SECRETS
BY Sol Metzge.

When a player receives a pass and
is charged by an opponent on defense
he should make either half or a fun
turn away from this opponent in order
to be free to toss the ball to one of
his teammates who is not covered
That is far better than to remain
facing in the direction the player was
in when he received the pass, for then
his opponent will come in. seize the
ball. and the one who has the greater
strength will get ii in case n held ball
is not called. Learn to pivot away
from the opponent covering you just
as you get the ball.

May Ask Representation.
While on the subject of pro foot
ball, it might be said. there are iudi-
cations that interesting developments
may characterize the annual meeting
or the foot ball rules committee next
month.
This committee is purely an inter
collegiate body, but the rules of which
they are the guardians are subscribed
10 by the pro teams and promoters.
Should there be a pro foot ball rep
reSentative on the rules committee
Some professional promoters seem to
think So although it would appear
that they hardly regard the merce-
nary game as sufficiently established
to make Representations at this time.
But the matter is certain to come
up some time, if the pro game CON
tinues to develop. In the meantime
commercialiZed foot ball will not be
neglected as matter for discussion
when the committee meets. AS the
matter now stands. members of the
committee have recognized the pro
game to the extent of feeling, since
professionals play under the collegi-
ate rules, that they must avoid any
thing suggesting a definite attitude
toward professionalism
