Try hitting the basket from stand

The underhand shot Is not so accu-

The chest shot is more accurate and is
good in motion. 1t Is not so easily

Practice both free throws and field

won't be accustomed to shooting
while standing still. Be up on both of

YANKEE RIVALS OF WIDE
TO GET TEST SATURDAY

Cox. Goodwin, Lloyd Hahn and
Willie Ritola, the Finnish American
flyer, have been looked upon as
likely to furnish the keenest rivalry
for Wide on the boards this Winter.
Ritola has indicated he may not COM
pete during the indoor season, how
ever. while Hahn is entered Saturday
In half-mile race.
That American distance stars will
have plenty of opportunity to test the
speed of the Swedish schoOlmaster Is
conveyed In Wides application to the
A. A. u. foreign relations commit
tee for permission to compete here
over a stretch of -four or five
months" His stay will overlap the
outdoor season, and spokesman say
he likely will compete at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania relays in
Philadelphia next Spring.
Observers have been puzzled by
Wide's system of training, which ap-
pears to vary daily. One day he limits
his run to a mile, the next day he
may do five, and the following day
three. HE just runs until he feels
like stopping" said one critic, after
watching the conqueror of Nurmi in
action.
However, Wide is considered by
Carl Anderson, coach of the Newark
A. c., as the "keenest student Of
athletics l have ever SEEN"
He knows every angle of distance
running so we'll that it would be use
less for any man to give him advice"

SCHOOL FTVES
ARE TO BATTLE FRIDAY

Business and Central, the only fives
in the public high school champion
ship series yet to meet defeat. will
clash Friday afternoon at the Arcadia
in the final game of the usual double
header. Eastern and Western will
meet in the first tilt.
In ringing up their second wins in
two starts in the series. Business yes
terday overcome Eastern, q to 81,
and Central routed Tech. So to ~.
Business jumped to healthy lead
over Eastern in the early going and
at the half held a 17-to-10 edge.
Charley Guyon's proteges rallied
briekly in the later stages and drew
within 3 points of Business early in
the final period. At that stage, how
ever, Capt. Cy Hogarth of the Lincoln
Parkers was waved to the sidelines
because of personal fouls and this
took the kick out of his teams attack.
Tech, fighting grimly against it's
time-honored foe, succeeded in hold
ing Central to a 14-to-10 advantage in
the first half, but the Blue and White
tossers with Pete Nee showing the
way cut loose with an attack in the
final half that soon left the game

Tigers Forget
Huddle System
BASKET BALI
RY SOL METZGER.

Do you lotice any difference in
the poses OF the basket ball player
in the above drawing? Very little,
isn't there? Yet if you study them
closely they would mean much to
you, for they are five 'tip-off play
signals, signals used by a team
that not long ago won the Eastern
intercollegiate title and then
trimmed Chicago for the so-called
national intercollegiate title.
Simple, youll find them. Try to
do so now before they are ex-
planned in the next few lines. Fig.
/, both hands on knees. That sig
nal is for tip-off play No. /. In
Fig. this player has his left hand
off his knee. Another play, to be
sure. And in each of the three re-
naming poses there are three
other plays signaled by the posi-
ton of his hands.
That's the way signals are
flashed in basket ball before the
tip-off. Usually a forward does
the trick. This Winter Princeton
started it's season using the hud-
die system, same as in foot ball,
but evidently didn't think so much
of it after a trial.
Few teams have more than five
tip-off plays. Perfecting that
many, with the infinite number of
variations that are bound to occur
In executing them. Is a big job.

NEW YORK, January 12-Ottawa
Senators and New York Rangers
gradually are pulling away from
their rivals in the fight for sectional
honors in the National Hockey
League.
By smashing the Toronto defense
for a Al victory last night the
leading Senators piled up a 9-poinr
advantage over the New York
Americans in the international sec
ton. In games won and lost. the
Ottawa players increased their mar
gin by a full! contest. the Gotham

The Rangers, at the peak OF the
American division, strengthened
their position by nosing out the
Montreal Maroons. while the Chicago
Black Hawks, their closest rivals
were bowling to Boston. The reverse
forced '.s Chicago team back into =
tie with the Hub contingent.
Statistics issued by Presiden:
Frank Calder show Bill Burch of the
New York Americans still pace
making the point-scorers with Is
goals and assists. His total of %
points is 4 more than that held
Jointly by Babe Dye and Dick Irwin

Coach Wilson does not want to take
what Catholic u. showed Saturday
night against Blue Ridge as a true
criterion of what the BrooklanderS can
do. They did not play anything like
as good ball as they are capable OF
playing, and today against Navy
should be an entirely different combi-
nation, as far as putting forth real
effort is concerned.
Georgetown opens it's season tonight
against Lynchburg College in the
Ryan Gymnasium. The Blue and
Gray outfit has been coming along
well in practice, and Coach O'Reilly
thinks his men should score a fairly
easy victory. Lynchburg College has
hardly ever done anything in any
branch of athletics to indicate that
it could expect to take the measure
Of Georgetown, although that is not
said in any respect as a discredit to
the Virginians. The game begins at
$50 pm.
After playing Georgetown tonight,
Lynchburg College remains over to-
morrow to face George Washington
IN the latter's gymnasium. The Buff
and Blue does not expect a very hard
game.
just what one season of successful
competition will do for a college in
making it a desirable competitor in
track meets is shown by the case of
the University of Maryland. Last
year Maryland had a hard time ar
ranging for two relay races in the
North, but after it was successful in
hose two was invited to two other
meets. In the four meets in which it
ran on Northern tracks the Mary
and four beat Pennsylvania. Yale,
Dartmouth, Boston College, Fordham,
Bowdoin and Columbia. The only
race it lost during the Winter was the
second with Penn, when it was beaten
by half a yard. This Winter Mary
land has had more invitations to
Northern meets than it can possibly
accept. A year ago the management
Of one meet could not find MARYLAND
a race except with a small college
which was badly beaten, but this
ear the same meet has invited the
Did Liners to run against Harvard
md Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology.

concerned. There was quite a clean

At ARYLAND UNIVERSITY
Nh annual Spring field day
WI which includes not only events
< ( between Old Line teams and
other university squads, but
the annual interScholaStic track and
field games, is to be held Saturday,
May Z. The program for the entire
day has not been entirely completed,
but the main events listed definitely
are a lacrosse game between Mary
land and Princeton, a track and field
meet between the Old Liners and
Johns Hopkins. and the interscholas-
tic track and field championships. A
base ball game also is to be played,
possibly between Maryland and Vir.
ginfa, and tennis match scheduled
with some good school.
Main interest in the day for Mary
land lies not so much in, the con-
tests in which its own teams take
part, but in the annual interscholas-
tic track and field meet. The meet
usually is divided in two parts. one
a set of championship events for the
county high schools of Maryland, the
other for the championship OF the
South Atlantic section.
Last Spring the full 10 events were
run in the South Atlantic champion
ships, but for the State. championship
only flVe events were nelu. L MS year
he list of events for the county high
schools is to be augmented consider
ably and more of a feature made OF
that part OF the meet.
The interscholastic meet has been
growing each year. and now is the
biggest in the South from stand
point of number of entries. 1t is eX-
Dected that this years meet will sur
pass previous ones. The States of
North Carolina. Virginia and Mary
land and he District of Columbia
were represented in the South At.
lantic championships.
The intercollegiate events should be
of interest. Princeton always has a
good lacrosse team and is attractive
in any sports in which it has teams.
Contests in other lines ought to be
Just as attractive, especially the meet
with Hopkins.
