LOSE TWO GAMES TO
TUCSON HIGH CUNTS
Douglas high suffered double defeat on the Y. NJ
c. A. basket ball court last night when the Tucson high
school girls quintet downed the local girls SO to and
the visiting boys outfit trimmed the locals 23 to TO-

The locals fought hard in both
contests but the Douglas girls failed
to make their contest very interest
ing. The boys game, however, was
ia great struggle from start tc fin
ish and the Douglas players with a
little more push ut critical periods
and trifle more experience, would
have probably gained victory.
AS it was, the lead shifted back
and forth often, and Douglas lost
only after fighting every inch Of the
way Causey proved to be the fast
est and most skilled player on the
floor, eluding the Tucson defense
with little difficulty and scoring al
most at will. Nelson went into the
fray for Douglas in the last quarter
but failed to deliver the winning
punch. Magma played a stellar game
at guard for the Bulldogs, while the
other members of the local team were
on their toes and trying all the time
Mote and Nv 7einzapfel were the
outstanding players for Tucson. The
! visitors committed several fouls
while Douglas played a fairly careful
game.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex; Jan. 15-
Macdonald Smith of New York, who

1926 title when he shot two under

REFEREE IN BASKETBALL CAN
SPOIL GOOD GAME BY BEING
roo TECHNICAL

Basketball is a great game, but !
can De spoiled by too muca offlciatin1g.
The thrill in basketball is provided
by the intensive play that features
the sport until the referees whistle
susperds action.
With the blowing of TIL" whistle
the crowd relaxes with the players
anc it takes some snappy work to
set them back to the nleh PIT n
they were in prior to the 3odI:ding OF
the whistle.
1T is an easy matter to let the
players get too strenuous if the OF
ficial is too lax. In the heat of ac-
tion roughhouse play may also creep
into the game if the officials do not
have the players under control.
i On the other hand, l have wit
messed any number of game that
have been slowed up badly by the
officials being far too technical.

Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-16

There is a happy medium that
preserves action yet doesn't give the
players too lnuch Ieeway. Such
condition calls for the application OF
common sense to many situations that
arise rather than being too technical.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-16
roo TECHNICAL


Basketball is a constant fight for
the possession of the ball. 1t is i'm
possible to try for basket unless
you have the ball in your possession.
Thus it is apparent that two or
more players will often have their
hands on the ball in an effort to gain
possession. On this point it seems
that many Officials are too quick on
the whistle.
The rule says that two or more
men must have firm grip on the
ball. Mere touching of the ball APP
pears to be regarded in some quar-
ters as a firm grip.
Jack Sheridan, who taught me what
I know about the umpire game, once
said to me in reference to handling
certain situations:
See the things you should see and
not those you shouldn't"
I'm basketball it is possible to be
ton technical and the fans like to see
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-16
Billy Evans Says

the limit. Preserve action and elimi-
nate delays, has been my motto.
In baseball, l put a player out of
the game only as a last resort. If
can get around the argument and
keep the player in the game with
out being lax as to discipline, al
ways seek to do it.
In recent basketball game play
ed at Cleveland between Washington
and Cleveland, two of the leaders,
something like 40 fouls were called,
81 points being scored that way. 1t
was a great game, but it would have
been much better if a few less fouls
had been called.
The proper time to break boxers
in "a cIinch is tough task for a
fight referee, solving the "heId ball''
appears to be equally hard for the
basketball official.
