The two diagrams shown above,

through 1915 when a Penn team
lost the ball out-of bounds under
their basket on attack, like every
team in the country. they would
deploy themselves so that every
man covered an opponent. Before
the season of 1916. PENIS coach,
Lon Jourdet, arranged practice

sional outfit, one of its stars being
the late Joe Fogarty, later Yales
basket ball coach. The pros ran
wild against the Quakers. Jourdet

gestion was made that Penn prac-
tice defense thereafter. Without
realizing what he was doing, Jour
Diet strung his men out across the
court in Il single file about the
middle. From that moment on the
pros were stopped. Jourdet real
lied he had hit on something. That
season Penn used the new Ave-
man defense in its league games
and emerged with the title. Against
Princeton the defense shown in the
lower panel was used on an out-of-
bounds play.
This was the first use of the Ave-
man defense in basket ball, the
style of defense that is universally
practiced today, usually in a two
line formation.
