not overly anxious 10 bring another
national championship to Washington,
where the sun means business when
he shines. But, IL must be remember
ed, that brown patch was an entirely
new and unknown quantity back in
1921.
The folks at Columbia--zealous and
eager to make that championship the
finest ever--woke up one morning and
found their green's had vanished, at
least parts Of them. But they stuck
their backs against the wall and put
ACROSS a championship that is still
being talked of-favorably.
To-day science has conquered the
brown patch almost entirely 1t does
not have the terrors it used to have.
and putting greens in Washington in
June are as good as may be found
anywhere So that bugaboo is multi
fed.
Let's have one of the big champion
ships, preferably the amateur, in
Washington, in the not far distant
future Philadelphia had 1t two and
a half years ago, and it's climate isn't
SO far different from that of Wash
ington.
East Potomac Park is scheduled to
close during the coming week for
about a month and a half, to reopen
some time around the middle of
March. During the time the big pub
lie course Is closed necessary repairs
will be made to put 1t in shape for
next season.

Fitchburg Used
| Old Time Plays
BASKET BALI
BY SOL METzGER.

When Yale won the last basket
ball title In the East in 1923 one
of her best plays was a guarded
shot. Columbia had successfully
employed it earlier than that, Cali
fornia is known to have used 1t,
and Passaic High helped its record
run Of scholastic victories with this
same weapon. Last season it broke
into the limelight in another quar-
ter---with the Fitchburg High
School five, which won the national
championship in the Chicago Uni
yersity tournament, Coach A. A.
Stage, a member of the first team
to ever play the game back in 1891,
presented the winners with their
gold basket balls. 1t might well be
said there Is nothing new in basket
ball. when all these facts are con-
sidered. That is likely true.
To explain what we mean by a
guarded shot take q look at the
diagram and illustration. The play
er trying to ring UP, basket is
standing behind a teammate. That
blocks off his opponents, who are
thus prevented from hurrying him
or spelling the shot. The play prob.
ably originated as a passing play
a player being SO closely guarded
he could not pass, moved behind a
teammate. One version of the play
is to have a forward rush for the
basket and another dribble in be-
hind him. ANY way you take it 1t
is sound basket ball and a play that
will ever be present
