The winning three points came in

with Madigan and Hetzel doing most

Madigan started the second half by

and adds interest and. fight to the play.
1t seems. that the 10 players must be
on the alert constantly, each watching
his chance TO break loose and score
while at the same time making sure
that his opponent cannot do the
same.
This practice is hard, and at times
1t is necessary for two players to
switch. When the ball is held by two
men, for instance, one player might
not be the opponent of the other. If
their teammates are keen, they will
likewise take each others man and
stick to him until that play is COM
plete. This is intelligent basket ball.

HOW TO PLAY BASKET BALL
BY RAY KENNEDY,

Captain. Washington Club. AmericsissI1eague
No longer are guards in basket ball
considered second to forwards in Of
Tense play.
Not SO many years ago the strategy
of teams was based on the theory
that forwards must bear the brunt of
the scoring effort, while guards con-
centrated on keeping tight defense
Then smart teams began shooting the
guards up the floor on scoring plays.
Now the guards on good teams work
into the scoring every bit as much as
the forwards.
a fast team has all five men moving
all of the time, whereas before you
could invariably see one man playing
back guard" while his teammates
were. all up in their own territory
Instead of this the guards Of win.
ming team today always are in the
thick Of the passing, making 1t neces.
sary for the opposing forward to guard
them closely.

~ teamwork of the Villanova
College quintet last night in
a rough contest staged in the II street
gymnasium. The score was 81 to 81.
Close guarding, which forced the

to pass skillfully around the opposing
defense, accounted for the visitors
triumph.
The game was fast, but it was also
furious. SO close was the guarding

In the second half Maryland came
back with somewhat changed line
up and. played just about as good
basket ball as one could wish to see.
1t ran ahead easily and held Georgia
so well that before 8 minutes had
been played the score was 81 to II
in its favor. Then Georgia began
to edge up, and with only minutes
left to play the count stood "a for
Maryland and 20 for the visitors.
Keen and Florence shot baskets from
the middle of the floor, shots that
were so accurate the ball did not even
touch the rim. That brought the
Count to "a to 80 and only seconds
to play. During those remaining
seconds it seemed as IL the gym
nasium roof would go off with the
volume of yelling.
Dean and Adams. and F'aber during
the second half, played brilliant basket
ball. The first mentioned. though in
stature he did not measure up to any
other man on the floor. was. every
where he was needed. Not only was
his defensive play brilliant. hut he
scored nine of his teams points.
Dean in physical being did not
measure up to the others, but If any
body surpassed him in intelligence
then it was not apparent. Adams
scored II points, besides playing
good floor game.
Keen and Florence were stars for
Georgia. Both were tall men, and
they dropped the ball in at times from
distances that hardly seemed possible.
