BASKET BALI

The fine play of the Navy five
this Winter indicates that the
Middies will be very much in the
running i'm Eastern basket ball
circles. one of the first stunts
was to bowl over Columbia, East
ern League champions. Much OF
the success OF the team is due to
the fine work OF Capt. Hamilton,
guard In the Columbia game
Hamilton pulled a thriller when
one Of his teammates Gig. A in
diagram), about TO shoot at
the end of q dribble: found him
self blocked by Figf 2. Hamil-
ton Gig. y, coming toward the
basket from center court. caught
a pass from A, but found he
would be blocked by B. came
for Hamilton at top speed and it
seemed as though the latter
would be blocked, as he had up
full momentum.
Hamilton then applied the brakes
by stopping in one stride while
running his hardest. and just as
he made the catch Gig. - he threw
his right leg well forward, foot
pointing toward basket. slapped
the sole of his shoe fiat on the
ground, let his rear leg give and
was perfectly balanced for his shot
for the basket. It's q great stop,
this one, but pretty hard on the
players legs if he does il very
often.
