players use the low underhand shot
with good effect. but 1t LIS not the one
that nearly all of the coaches of good
teams insist on today.
The push shot may be practiced In
your own backyard. or in your own
old barn or shed. Every boy should
have his own basket ball and his own
basket and then he can practice many
of the coaching lessons he gets in
The Star Boys Club every day. He
need not wait for the whole team to
est together. The push shot requires
much practice. as Coach Vaughn
points out, and this practice the boy
may have on his own time.
The boy who practices the most
will become the greatest star. And

to win, wants to be q star.

Knute Rockne sends word that the
Utah team put up an article of foot
