CENTRAL UNION
HOPING TO BEAT
BORDER ELEVEN

High school gridders were being
put through their PAGES at the field
this afternoon by Coach Armstrong
in preparation for the closing battle
of the season here Saturday against
Calexieo. The Central Union boys
will play the final game at Holtvilie
Thanksgiving Day afternoon.
While Central Union and Brawlcy
are practically out of the running
as far as pennant hopes are con
ccrned, the two teams by winning
the remaining two games on their
respective schedules can throw the
entire circuit into tie.
But there is little chance of the
two teams making n clean sweep in
the remaining contests although
fans expect Central to do the up
setting by turning in a victory over
one or the other team. 1t is be
lievcd that in this manner the rae ,
between Calexico and Holtville will
be- settled, each team at present
having won three games and lost
only one.
Coach Armstrong has been grilling
lis men in all departments of the
game. The boys have showed that
despite their lightncss they have
plenty of power but in practically
all of their games they have gone
into the lead only to lose out in the
closing minutes of play.
Calexico had "A hard time turning
in victory over Central at Calexico
earlier in the season and while the
Calexico team has been greatly
strengthened since that time, it is
expected that Central will give the
border boys plenty of opposition Sat
urday.
The game will be the last one on
the local field this season and fans
are asked to get out and give the
boys boost in their final tusslc.
The game will get under way at 2:30
c'clock.

BALL

Only the most expert basket ball
players play the dribble offense.
That's why few college fives de-
pend on it. The Buffalo Germans
mastered it some years ago, as
did the Celtics of New York. Great
skill and natural dribbhng ability
by all members of the team are
necessary to. make it successful.
Few but professional teams possess
such men.
No attack is more thrilling. The
Celtics, for example. will take the
ball off the blackboard. shoot a pass
to a teammate down the court, and
the latter Immediately starts a
dribble. A designated man follows
him some Is to 20 feet, never
nearer than 10, and his other team
mates go down the floor, keeping
pace with the dribbler and some 10
feet or more from him, ready to cut
in for a pass or to dribble them
selves.
The usual stunt is for the
dribbler, when blocked, to reverse
pivot and pass back to his fol
lower, who continues the dribble.
Rasey of Minnesota would be the
ideal type of college man to play
this game. Keinath, Penn's old
time forward who ranks as the
greatest of all time, would have
been very much at home with this
style of attack.
(Copvright 1877
