Basket Ball i'm East Is Seen
AS Hurt by Five-Man Defense

tains definite possession of the ball, the
other team withdrawS into it's own ter
ritory and stays there, waiting for at
tackS. which are delayed until-well,
until the attention of the spectators is
diverted to other things. This defense
is not as popular as it has been and
this is likely to have good effect on
the game.
In the second place, there is the pol
icy Of freezing" the ball in the last few
moments to protect lead. This is just
the reverse of the five-man defense in
that it is the team that gets the ball
that withdraws. It is based on the
theory that without the ball it is impos-
sible to score, which is quite right, but
1t robs the game of much of its interest
at the end.
In the third place there Is the con-
slant blowing of the officials whistles
The writer saw several intercollegiate
league games last Winter and it is his
impression that whenever the teams en-
gagged started to play the game, they
were stopped by the whistle. In any
game as fast as basket ball. 1t is easy to
foul-so easy that If all the fouls that
are actually committed were called,
there would be no game.
