COAST GUARD QUINT
TO PLAY MARINES

The Coast Guard destroyer Force
basket ball team of New London, Conn,
will make its initial bow locally when it
plays the all-Marine five of Quantico
in Eastern High School gym next Mon
day. This game will be followed by an
other tilt with the Marines at Quantico
the following day.
The Coast Guard players confidently
predict that they will avenge the de-
feat of the Coast Guard eleven by the
Marines at foot ball few weeks ago.
Basket ball is one sport in which the
Coast Guard team has been predomin-
ant for some time. They opened the
present season by defeating the crack
Socony five at New London, 1926, a
few days ago.
The Coast Guard team Is a triple
title holder. 1t swept through the New
London, Conn, City League to the
championship and then annexed the all
Coast Guard title, by defeating the var
ious Coast Guard units along the coast,
and the third championship came when
it defeated all service teams in New
England for the North Atlantic all
service championship.
Ensigns S. c. Linholm and j. j. Pur-
cell, former Coast Guard Academy
stars, are the outstanding players of the
Coast Guard quintet.
Last season the Coast Guard Bears
played 20 games and won II. They
were defeated by the Coast Guard
Academy the United States Naval Sub
marine Base and the Newport Naval
| quintet, but in return engagements they
] wiped out these three defeats.

There are many theories and prac-
tices in basket ball. Take the plan
of attack employed by Coach Nor
gren at Chicago last season. The
Maroons will undoubtedly follow it
this year for the obvious reason that
it stresses defense. That's a wise
plan when confronted with Norgren's
present problem of developing prac-
tically new five.
Chicago plays long shot game.
Let their forwards or center get
near the foul line and Immediately
the ball will be hurled at the basket.
OF course such. an attack demands
that the three men leading it be
eagle-eyed on long shooting, else
few baskets would be scored. Last
year it gave Norgren'S team the best
record of any from Chicago Univer-
sity since 1924, when 1t last won
the Conference title.
If you will note the position of
the two Chicago forwards. Nos. Q
and 3, when their center, No. l.,
takes q shot at the basket from OUT
side the foul line. as well as the
two guards, Nos and tthe former
having advanced), you will quickly
see that if the opponents get the
rebound, in case of miss, they are
not going to get far in their at
tack. Chicago's five automatically
is set for breaking up the attack of
an opponent before 1t gets under
way That's why Chicago had the
strongest defensive team in the Con-
ference last season.

CANzONER|-S|NGER
FIGHT FAST DRAW
10000 Bout, Rickard Finding
Popular Prices Appeal

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December Is. - Tex
Rickard, it would seem, has begun to
realize that metropolitan fans have no
quarrel with him over his Madison
Square Garden shows, but with the
prices he has charged there in the past.
A few months ago Tex staged a pop
ular- -priced show and drew close to
10000 of the faithful, where less tnan
half that number had been turning out
for the more expensive programs.
A sizzling ten-round draw between
Tony Canzoneri, former featherweight
champion, and AL Singer, Bronx idol,
was witnessed last night by 20,804 fans
The top price was $5.49, in contrast
with four times that amount at high
priced shows.
Although Singer was given no worse
than an even break in the official
verdict, ringside experts were inclined
to believe Canzoneri was entitled to
the decision 1t was fast and furious
battle the whole way, with Canzonerl's
effective work at close quarters gaining
the approving eye of boxing experts
Singer, however, put up beautiful box
| ing exhibition that kept him in the run

and ring generalship of the formel

The accompanying sketches show
how Gene Sarazen and Tommy
Armour apply their hands to golf
clubs. Tommy used the overlapping
grip. You will note that his left
thumb Is down the shaft, and that
as his right hand closes, with the last
joint of its little finger overlapping
the first finger of his left hand, thus
bringing the two hands close to-
gether, the tendency will be for the
second and third fingers Of the
right hand to come up over his left
thumb, rather than onto the leather.
Also, that the shaft will run diagon-
ally from the base of the first
finger of each hand across the palm.
In other words, the overlapping grip
is not entirely finger grip. The
thumb of each hand and its first
finger are in contact with the
leather, but from there on palm vies
with finger for control.
Sarazen'S interlocking grip pre-
vents his right palm from getting
into the grip of the club. His right
therefore grips entirely with its
fingers. This finger grip of the
right renders the right wrist more
flexible. That Is the cause of so
much trouble for most golfers who
use this grip. They tend to get too
much wrist roll into a long shot,
with a resulting slice. Only long
practice by Sarazen has overcome
this fatal tendency and kept him up
among tn, leaders In tournament
play.

conference limits its members. Fa-

Another amendment would allow
