CENTRAL VIRTUAL VICTOR.
BUT WILL NOT GET TITLE
Decision of Principals Is Reached After Prolonged
Session-Steps TO Be Taken to Build Up Bet
ter Interschool Spirit Among Students.

principals were informed by DIR. Bal
lou and Assist. Supt. of Schools Ste
phen E. Kramer that they must take
some action to guarantee there would
be no recurrence OF such bad sports
fnanship as was evidenced at last
Tuesdays game between Central and
Western. They expressed the belief.
also, that tn principals should take
steps to Immediately build up a bet
ter spirit of sportsmanship in high
school athletics. After making these
general statements. the principals
were left to take the action they be-
lieved the situation merited. resulting
in the adoption of the resolution call
ing for the cancellation of the balance
of the seasons games.
The first outstanding outside game
was carded for this afternoon between
Coach Dan Ahearn's Western High
tossers. easy winners over St. Johns
yesterday, and the strong Gonzaga
team on the / street court, starting
at 3:15 o'clock. There Is lively RI
valry between the schools. Gonzaga,
that IL regarded as just about the
peer of the independent high school
combinations, has fine record. A
few weeks ago the Purple bested East
ern High, 81 to %. The Lincoln Park
ers alone OF the public high schools
have encountered Gonzaga on the
court this season.
Dewitt basketers, who yesterday
handily vanquished Leonard Hall
High, 80 to 10, at Leonardtown. Md,
were to visit Baltimore today to en-
gage Mount st. Joseph, who bowed
to Western here a couple of weeks
ago.
In disposing OF st. Johns yesterday
Western held a big edge from the
opening whistle, running up fat
lead early in the game and always
holding 1t. Sharpshooting of Walter
Morris and i. "Pewee" Walker, st.
Johns and Westerns captains, re-
spectively, and of Bob Wilson and
Alton Buscher for the Georgetown
schoolboys stood out.
Another public high combination
that played yesterday did not have
such an easy time. Central's smart
Ave had to step fast to triumph over
st. Adams School, "a to 1S, in Amer
lean University gym. The Blue and
White second-stringers took the floor
at the start of the contest, but the
Saints offered them such strong OPP
position that Coach Bert Coggins fur-
ried in his regulars, who had all they
could do to hold the doughty Wis
consin avenue team at bay. Burgess
and Nee on attack and Captain Swift
on defense shone for Central, with
Bowles and Weaver flashing fine form
for st. Adams.

easily intercepted. They cannot be
thrown with the speed and accuracy
of the short pass, either.
The short pass is the pass for boys
basket ball teams. Short, quick pass
ing is hard to stop. The receiver of
the short pass should Ego in" to
meet the ball. This speeds up the
game and lessons the danger of inter
ception or blocking by your opponents
The short-passing game Is much
faster, too, than the long passing
game. A good short-passing team is
something pretty to behold.
But with the short-passing game,
as with all other sports the team
must be very proficient. And it be-
comes proficient only by constant
practice.
Don't fool yourself by thinking you
are good enough to be h star without
lot of practice. No one is in baske
ball. The five greatest players in the
game, meeting for the first time,
would be easy victims for a hundred
teams In the country because these
hundred teams are teams that have
trained and practiced together until
teamwork Is the best part of their
play.

ern Conference colleges to take care
Of their conference interests and yet
at the same time enable them to see
far enough ahead to arrange alliances
with circumference institutions. Foot
ball schedule making has reached a
point where teams are looking two
years ahead for their important
games, and conference colleges have
found il impossible to look ahead to
that extent without the risk Of not
getting the conference games they
desired. Now, if Wisconsin wills to
schedule a game with Cornell in 1928
it can do so, or if Illinois wants to
consider a contest with Harvard in
1929 it is easy for it to look over its
conference schedule and ascertain
what dates are available.
Charley Moran, director of ath-
letics and base ball coach at Catholic
University, is pessimistic again over
the chances of his nine. Probably
G. U. will have one of it's greatest
mines. That Is about the way it
usually turns out when Charley is an
object lesson In pessimism.
In all probability the Maryland re-
lay team win run against Harvard
and Virginia in the Millrose games in
New York next Wednesday night
Just what four will make up the team
has not yet been decided. Thomas,
Matthews, Sheriff, Pugh and White
ford are the men still in the running
for the berths. In all probability the
final selections will be made on a basis
OF the workouts today and tomorrow.
GeorgetOwn's first boxing match
will be with the Naval Academy week
after next. The Blue and Gray cer4
tainly is not picking a cripple for it's
initial bow in the realm of fistic COM
petition, for Navy usually has been
among the very best Of teams.
Catholic University's plan to sell an
associate membership in it's athletic
association, so that the holders of
these membership cards may attend
the boxing matches, is interesting to
local colleges. 1t Is nothing more nor
less than an attempt to legally charge
admission to its boxing matches with
other universities The law which
forbids charging admission to boxing
matches does not forbid clubs or as
sociations holding boxing matches for
the benefit of its members. This
method has been employed before in
holding boxing matches, but it seems
that the police have used their dis.
erection in Judging whether the boxing
match was a boxing match or a prize
fight. These college boxers do not
box, they fight, and 1t is a matter Of
conjecture what the police would have
termed match In Which a member

Jourdet Invented
Short Pass Game
BALL

Back in 1907 and 1908 player
named Keinath was the Red"
Grange of basket ball. He dribbled
his way to victory after victory for
his team. Dribbling then didn't
have the restrictions placed upon
1t as Is the case today. AS a re-
suit individual play predominated
in the game, and basket ball did
not catch hold with the public.
No one sensed the remedy until
1917. That was the year follow
ing the perfection OF the five-man
defense by Lon Jourdet. Penn's
coach. When the season OF 1917
was being planned, Jourdet real
ICED all his opponents would use
the new defense. Some scheme
had to be worked to penetrate 1t.
His conclusion was a passing at
tack, to supplant the dribble. 1t
was based on a simple fact,
namely, a passed ball will advance
up the court far more rapidly than
one that is dribbled. The two illus
trations are offered as proof
Taking this simple principle as
a base, Jourdet worked out a short
passing attack. The modern sys-
tenn of set plays was not employed.
Instead, Jourdet figured that the
individual players would have
enough ingenuity to carry the at
tack through. That he guessed
right was proved by Penn's finish
ing first again in the Eastern
League race and then downing Chi
cage, Western champions, for the
national intercollegiate title. Thus
Jourdet again scored heavily for
the advancement of basket ball,
this time developing the whirlwind
short passing attack and cut for
the basket that has done so much
to speed up the game and add to
its popularity.

Cancellation of the remaining SEIZED
uled games Of the series was decided
upon by the principals of the five high
schools involved at a prolonged meet
ing held in the Office Of DIR. Frank w

The resolution of the board OF
principals embodying their conclu-
sions and signed by Allen Davis, prin-

chairman of the board, follows:
1--WE, the principals of the five high

episode which occurred recently in the
basket ball games played at the
Arcadia and have taken the following
action:
81. The present interhigh school
basket ball series shall be dfscon-
tined, but this action shall not ap-
ply to outside games.
"2. The above action shall be
taken as a precedent, and similar
action will be taken in the future
whenever unsatisfactory conditions
develop.
SO. Steps shall be taken at once
to build Up within the several stu
dent bodies an interschool spirit
which will make such occurrences
impossible hereafter"
