AS stated in u previous article
when a player receives a pass he
should pivot rapidly from the oppo-
nent charging him in order to place
that opponent as far away from
the ball as possible. This method
is shown in the upper illustration.
Some players instead Of pivoting
when closely guarded use a
straight-arm to push off the oppo-
nent coming in. That is all very
we'll in foot ball, but it constitutes
a foul in basket ball. This foul Is
so frequent that it happens in
practically every game. Attention
is called to it here SO players will
avoid committing this foul in the
future

Costly Proposition.
StatiSticians in Annapolis figure that
it will cost about $4,000 for railroad
fare and Pullman berthS for the 500
middies who will make the trip and
that lodging and subsistence will cost
an additional $50 900.
The distance between West Point
and Chicago is greater. and SO more
than $4,000 probably will be required
to defray travelling expenses of the
cadets.
All in all, Chicago's gesture is a
grand one. What city ever paid as
