CHICAGO, February 2.-Action Of
Ralph Moon" Baker, star forward on
the Northwestern basket ball team
and one of the leading scorers in the
Big Ten, in refusing to take a single
shot at the basket in the recent game
with Iowa has been characterized by
Coach Thistlethwaite, foot ball mentor
at the university. as one of the finest
bits of sportsmanship he had ever
seen.
Throughout the game Baker re-
peatedly fed the ball to his team
mates even though he war in a posi-
tion to score. This strategy thwarted
the Iowa defense, which had been
ordered to guard Baker at all costs.
Two men kept continually on his
heels during the game.
This left Fisher and White compar-
atively free, and Baker tossed the ball
TO them whenever he got his hands on
it. AS a result Moon" went score
less, and he dropped to sixth place in
the scoring column. while Fisher. his
mate, bolstered his average with
seven field goals and raised himself
from tenth to seventh position.
