NEW YORK, April 27.--There is a
certain section of Jersey where basket
ball fans believe that the game is
played as skillfully and followed with
interest as keen and as intelligent as
in Indiana, or Utah, or anywhere else.
1t is Passaic County, which produced
among other teams the Passaic High
School fives which set q world record
for sequential victories from 1919 to
1925, winning in this period 159
straight games.
Robert +. Irwin, the leading au-
thority in this district, rises with some
show of indignation to question the
statement of George Keogan, the
Notre Dame coach. that in one bounce
a man may cover Is or 20 feet of floor
space from the time the ball leaves
his hands until he RECEIVERS it at the
termination of the bounce.

the game even though poor officiating

the Metropolitan Open title from
Gene Sarazen in 1892" we have
been asked dozens of times. That
battle stands as a world record
and the reason why Macdonald
worked along at such q smooth
clip for that long, harassing jour
ney was due to the perfection of
his form. No golfer plays with
greater ease and none can main

span of time,

lacks the crisp hitting power of
our other pros, but crisp hitting
is not essential in gaining direc-
tion or distance. He merely throws

There is one thing about the
golf swing that every player must
recognize on every shot. 1t is that
at contact the distance from the
left shoulder joint to the ball must
be the same as it was at the time

are unavoidable. Get that point in
your head and keep it there on
every shot. for it is a dominating
point in play. Watch Macdonald
Smith play his woods and irons,

REGRETS CURB ON DRIBBLE

gather their defense and in that wav
prevent even fine passing combina-
tions from getting near to the basket.
1 may be wrong, but this is my inn
preston"
Irwin's reference TO Passaic High
calls to mind the fact that the really
great teams of this school as coached
by Ernest Blood made little or no use
of the dribble
They employed short, fast passing
game with the offensive stressed
rather than the defensive. Blood be.
lieves that no man could dribble as
quickly or as deceptively as five men
could pass the ball among themselves,
while, of course. working the bali into
a scoring position.
One gathers that these Passaic
teams demonstrated rather conclu.
sively that dribbling is not necessary
for success in basket ball. On the
other hand there is no denying that
dribbling was a very interesting and
thrilling feature of the game.
Irwin believes. as do other coaches,
that under the new rule there will be
as much. if not more, fouling and
more long shooting.
His idea that the muZzling of the
drlbble will afford opposing teams
more opportunity to gather their de
fense. and in that way prevent fine
passing combinations from getting
near to the basket, is something that
will have to be tested practically in
actual games before 1t can be debated
pro or con with any degree of assur-
ance.
