Z LAWRENCE kans., March 5s-"Be
sure you keep your wits"
That's the advice Of DR.. James
Naismith, known the world over as
the Father Of Basketball" TO won.
en-, as the first protective measure In
the event Of attack by q a
But DR.. Naismith doesn't stor
there. In fact he's devised an en-
tire scheme for defense for women
against ave men
His methods are effective: If YOU
don't believe SO, try them. And he's
been teaching them to his classes OF
co-eds nc the University Of Kansas,
member of the faculty for many
years.
Because a judge rendered a de-
cision that the inventor Of basket
ball believed unfair. DR.. Naismith
set out to do something that would
reduce the number Of cases Of girls
being attacked by men.
When a young woman failed to
scream for help when attacked in a
dark alley one night, she was held
10 be u willing participant, and the
man was set free.
That's what set the doctor into &C
ton.
And here Is a bit Of his advice:
"Grasp the hand of the attacker,
twist his arm outward, ut the same
time giving the elbow a blow 10
straighten the arm. Then slip your
arm under his and grasp the lapel
Of his coat. This renders him pow
erless because of his position. He
cannot strike you.
"A second defense move begins
somewhat like the first. After the
hand is grasped, twist the arm sud-
denly outward, jerking your oppo-
nent about SO that your hip Is
against his back. At the same time
draw his arm over your shoulder,
lean quickly forward, and toss him
over your head. This is particularly
effective liz accomplished nc the top
Of q flight OF steps.
@Another effective defense Is to
throw your arms about his body and,
with either hand, reach around and
place the fingers just over his nose.
Then pull. This method Is guaran.
teed to prove painful.
