BASKET BALI

A great basket ball guard meets
the acid test when two opponents
get free and he alone has to stop
them. Carl Loeb, Princeton's out
standing guard last Winter, could
and did handle this situation to a
nicely. In contest against Dart
mouth last Winter a dribbler came
down the right side Of the court
with a teammate on the other.
Loeb retreated cautiously with both
men in view. Just before the drib-
bier got within shooting distance
Loeb feinted as though he intended
charging him, as shown In the
upper illustration. This bluff was
so well carried out that the drib-
bier Immediately stopped to pass
to his teammate. Loeb was already
breaking for the teammate. who
was so closely guarded by him that
the dribbler, changing his mind, de-
cided to shoot for the basket.
This neat bit Of feipting by Loeb
so delayed the attack that his
teammates were on hand in time
to block the dribbler's attempt for
a basket. The lower illustration
shows Loeb covering the teammate
of the dribbler after his feint had
forced the latter to stop his dribble.
