While the BrOokland swimmers are
not really figuring on outscoring the
Pitt team. the locals hope TO make a
better showing than they did in the
opening meet with Lehigh.
Gallaudet, which has not been reg
istering many court victories, does not
figure to stand much of chance
against Blue Ridge, which has been
going strong all season.
While the Gallaudet lineup has not
been settled upon. Bykirk will play in
either center or forward, with Mccall,
Scarvie and Reneau sure to horn in
as forwards. Capt. Wallace and MI

BASKET BALL SECRETS
By Sol bietzge
Blocking an Attempted Shot.

When blocking an attempted
shot by an opponent the eyes Of
the defensive player should have
an unobstructed, view at all times
in order for him to fully size up
the situation.
The wRy to block such a shot is
with the arms spread as in the
illustration on the left. However,
some players blindly throw their
arnys directly in front Of their faces
when they go into block such a
shot as in the illustration on. the
right.
There is no need to try protect
the face in basket ball, as there is
practically no likelihood Of the
opposing player throwing the ball
in your face. His object is to
avoid striking you with the ball.
Keep the eyes on the ball as you
try to block such a shot, then
you can use your hands and arms
effectively in DETECTING it or in
knocking down the ball.

Walking is prescribed for boys-as

one good hike q week out into the
country. Walk out leisurely. inspect.
Ing nature as YOU go, eat your weiners
or potatoes. rest up and, then on
your start back make it a walking
race to town.
In a walking race a contestant must
observe these rules:
walking is succession Of steps
different from running, because i'm
running both feet may be OF the
ground at once. One Of the feet must
always he OIL the ground In walking.
"As the foremost foot in taking a
step touches the ground the knee
must not be bent. The heel must
touch the ground first, and the toe be
the last portion Of the foot to leave It..
II is imperative that the heel OF the
foremost foot must touch the ground
before the toe of the other foot ceases
to have contact with it,"
Walking Is good at any season Of
the year. Start walking now and get
q chum to try out the form and race
with you. short distances at first, and
then lengthen the courses. Walk in O
park or off pavement. If possible
Don't think walking isn't a sport.

understood. however. that the ruling
was in the nature OF an experiment.
and might be abandoned after 1925
Il il did not work out well. More
over. Il was made clear that the
resin rule was not intended to open
the way for the return of emery
paper. sand paper and other ball
rougheners employed by some Of the
pitchers Of OLD.
And there is another feature Of the
rule that may sound little odd.
This provision is that if pitcher is
caught Intentionally decorating the
bali itself with resin he shall be
subjected to the same penalty as if
he used emery paper. He may daub
his hands with the sticky gum with
in bounds permitted by the umpire,
bur he may not mess the ball up
with it.
The principal argument of pitch
ers who Ike resin is that it gives
better control to pitchers who suffer
in hot weather from perspiration OF
the hands, which makes it difficult To
get d firm grip on the ball.
