FREDERICK TOSSERS

Washington's professional basket
ball team. which downed Detroit at
the Arcadia last night, 80 to 81, will
not play another American League
engagement until Sunday, when Fort
Waynes toSsers appear on the local
floor. The Hoosiers also will show
here Monday night. Fort Waynes
% to % win over New York last night
indicates the caliber of the team from
the Midwest.
Tonight Washington meets the
Frederick, Nd. quint, which has on
it's roster Jack Smith and Larry
Boerner, two Capital City boys. The
game will be in the Maryland city.
Kennedy plans to use the same line
up that trimmed Detroit last night.
The locals will spend Wednesday
travelling, having an engagement with
the Glen Fall, N. Y, team Thursday
night and the Cohoes and Schenectady
n. Y. quints Friday and Saturday
nights, respectively.
WASHINGTON staged a spectacular
finish to triumph over Detroit last
night for the locals second league
win in II starts. Rusty Saunders
and Red Conaty came through in the
last minute with a pair of field goals
that brought victory.
With a revamped lineup that found
Saunders at center in place Grimstead,
Kennedy and Carey at the forwards
and Ripley and Conaty at guards, the
locals carried the fight to Detroit from
the outset. With Saunders and
Conaty doing most of it's scoring,
Washington was out in front at the
half, % to u. The visitors, however,
spurted with will as the games
close approached until with less than
minute to go they had fought their
way to a q to 26 edge. 1t was then
that Saunders and Conaty came
through with the shots from scrim-
mage that won for Washington.

1t is necessary to understand
the principles of Offense before
taking up modern plays. One
main idea for the player to bear
in mind that he must start his
floor shots waist high. By start
ing them lower he consumes too
much time. The defense is more
likely to stop them. Another
point the coach insists on is that
i'm shooting the player follow
through. 1t makes for greater ac-
curacy for one thing and it causes
the ball to leave his hands at a
higher point from the court than
If he shot while standing on the
floor. That insures fewer blocked
shots and less distance for the ball
to travel.
Any coach will also tell you to
keep your eyes on the rim of the
basket when attempting a shot.
Formerly attack never started un-
til the ball was up near the center
circle. Now teams start it from
the blackboard, q guard usually
jumping to get the rebound. He
has two methods of starting the
attack: Either high hook pass
or a bounce pass, as he is usually
closely pressed and cannot dribble.
These passes are usually short,
unless teammate is free well up
the court. In tOmOrrOw's article,
before we start discussing modern
plays. the full pivot will be de-
scribed, as 1t Is the key to modern
attack.
