BALL

One of the pet plays Penn has
used for years, ever since the days
when Lon Jourdet was the king of
basket ball coaches, is to free a
man on an out-of bounds play from
a side line. Jourdet explained it
clearly to us, and we used it sue
cessfully in college basket ball
coaching in the South.
The position of the players is
shown in the upper illustration.
The two teammates of the man out
of bounds are some 8 feet in court
and some 10 feet apart. The team
mate with his back toward the bas-
ket rushes at No. 1 on a given Sig
nal, bringing his opponent with
him, taking as though to take the
throw-in. This move usually sue
ceeds in boxing the opponent Of
No. /.
No. fakes a step toward the
man out of bounds, then turns
quickly and rushes for the basket,
just grazing his approaching team
mate. He receives the ball when
free. as shown in the lower Illus
tration, as his immediate opponent
has been trapped by the advance Of
his teammate and opponent.
All successful out-of bounds plays
are generally based on blocking and
taking. This one is a combination
Of both elements and has many va
riations.

BY FAIRPIAY.

NEW YORK, December 30.-Honey-
boy Jack Finnegan is being billed as
the featherweight champion in GER
tain sections of the country. Beating
Chick Suggs gave him the New Eng
land title and that just about sums up
Finnegan's claims to national honors
for the time being.
A contest having an important
bearing on the featherweight title
takes place when Benny Bass and
Red Chapman come together. Phil
Glasslnan has tried hard to maneuver
Bass into position, going so far as to
offer Kid Kaplan $4,000 for a match
when the latter held the title.
Has Had Hard Luck.
Chapman was twice matched to
fight Kaplan and each time was
doomed to disappointment. Many
think the red-headed boy from Boston
has more claim to the title than any
other featherweight in the country.
He was ready to go through with his
fights, only to have an injury pre-
vent the first match and overweight
on kaplan's part spoil his second try.
Now Bass and Chapman will have
it out and the winner will most
likely meet Finnegan later. 1t all
depends on whether Dick can make

mittee failed to reveal the source
of the rating list for women players
in the District which was announced
yesterday as coming from the Dis

No official tennis ratings have been

ranking players, which is composed
entirely of men. There is declared to
be no Women's committee author

The rating Of local players is based
entirely upon performance in local
sanctioned tournaments, not upon
ability, and for this reason it would
be impossible to rate any one In the
District ahead of Frances Krucoff
this year, as she made the most i'm
pressive showing in the sanctioned
tournaments played here during the
past season.
Even Luise Kelley, who has scored
over Miss Krucoff in past events. will
not be rated above her this season,
for the reason that Miss Kelley did
not compete in any singles events in
Washington last summer.
No official District rating list could
