SNOW STORM WAS
WELL HANDLED
State, City and Town Depart
n4ents Do Excellent Work
Following Storm

The snow storm last Friday WAS
The most severe Of the winter. Had
the weather turned cold instead Of
warm, this section would have had It's
FIRST real winter Of 1927-28. The
snow came quickly and In quantity
II also disappeared quickly, because
II came of bright and warm the fol-
lowing day. A morning slush was all
the Inconvenience that pedestrians
experienced.
An outstanding feature Of the
storm was the way the snow was
handled by those whose duty 4 Is to
afford all the protection possible in
such a situation. The state highway
department, under the direction OF
Supervisor James Maher, the city
highway department, Frederick Du-
mas, Superintendent Of streets and
Alderman Eugene Mignault, chairman
Of the highway committee, and the
board Of selectmen. are all deserving
Of commentator for the way they
met the situation.
When people awoke Saturday
morning 10 see from their bedroom
windows 4 deep blanket Of snow they
we're aRreeably surprised 20 note that
q snow nlnw had already made a
path 10 their doors. This was 80 even
on the side streets and the less ire
quently travelled and populated
streets in the city.
Out A. Two a. VI.
TO afford this service the city street
cleaning department augmented TO
thirteen men. was out at two o'clock
Saturday morning A one horse snow
pillow, a two horse snow pillow, and the
city's new scraper attached to a truck
we're put in operation. II was this
array Of plows that allowed the street
department 70 cover the whole city
before the citizens were out OF their
warm beds.
During the day the piles Of snow
left by the pillow we're removed IN
carts. BY night the streets were
practically normal and the cutters
had been cleared. II was tired
crew that quit the job as darkness
came on Saturday evening but they
had the satisfaction Of a work well
done and Of hearing the citizens ex-
press themselves most favorably as
to the way the aFOW HAa bttH manu-
led. II also afforded two or three
days work for men out Of employ
ment.
Clear State Highways
Supervisor Maher also had his men
out before daylight The roads In
his district were not only scraped but
the hills were sanded. By night the
sun had SO melted the little renal
ing snow that even chains were un-
necessary on the main trunk lines.
The praises Of the state department
and Supervisor Maher were being
sung, not only By automobile drivers
Of this corner of the state Of Con
neetieut but by those who drove in
from border states who, by eompari-
son, Landed Connecticut's methods
Of caring for highways.
In the rural sections the select
men took charge These roads were
mnde passahle with the road seraper
and four horses. One or two add.
tional men were all that were required
by the town department. The results
of the combined effort Of the three
was passable roads az
daylight and quick return 70 normal
travel conditions.

BILE is not the cause of so many fouls
being made rather II Is the guard. The
dribbler coming down the field Is usually
going at a faster rate of speed than the
guard. The guard will usually commit
the foul when trying to stop the drib-
bier. The roughncss. therefore. Is not
the fault Of the team that uses the drib-
BILE. but the fault OF the coaches who
did not train the guards properly.
Would Cause Collisions.
The one bounce rule would have done
away with the low bounce. The high
bounce would have resulted with a con-
seuuent run in between. Collisions
would have been inevitable with more
serious consequences TO follow,
1t Is also argued that the elimination
OF the dribble would moderate the speed
OF the game. But research conducted
by the University Of Kansas upon the
varsity men through the last six cham
pionship seasons showed that the long
est total playing time that any player
was actually running was only II min
utes.
Advocates OF the anti-dribble rule
state that doing away with the dribble
will virtually eliminate stalling of the
team in the lead. II would be Just rs
easy for two men 10 stall In the back

Some OF our famous coaches declare
the elimination OF the drihble would
place basket ball on a team basis m
stead OF a one-fnan performance. but !
saw the elimination of the dribble
would remove the thriller In basket ball.
As II IL now, we have the triple threat.
namely. the pass, the pivot and the
dribble. This corresponds markedly 10
the triple threat in foot ball~~the pass.
the run and the kick.

offensive team. Already the defense

Value of Code Is Emphasized
by Case Between Rocky
Mountain Rivals.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

There Is talk that Yale, Harvard and
Princeton may alter the transfer rule
so that each case will be decided on its
merits instead CT applying olanket
rule TO every transfer. Before they do
this it would be we'll TO forget the Cald-
we'll case, which has brought this rule
In some unpopularity at Yale. and con-
slider the benefit which it has worked.
It is great. as matter Of fact: 50 great
that any injustice done Caldwell Is
really unimportant.
The transfer rule prevents ill-feeling
as between two universities for one
thing II it existed in the Rocky
Mountain conference the present issue
between Colorado University and Dem
yer University would never have arisen.
1t seems that Kelly. sub-center on
the Boulder five. was at Denver Uni
yersity two years ago. and dropped out
OF college Before that he had played
two years on the Washington Cniver-
sity. ST. Louis, quint. He had a brother
at Denver University and it is said tia.
he persuaded the boy to leave the
Methodist seat OF learning and enroll
at Boulder.
j. L. Bingham. graduate manager at
Denver, protested the Older Kelly on
grounds OF ineligibility. but Colorado
has not taken the complaint seriously
thus far.
Vanderbilt seems to have led al
Southern universities in preparing for
the next foot ball season. The squad
has been in action under the direction
of Dan McGugin on the past several
Saturdays. Georgia Tech viii begin
practice on February Il and other
Southern institutions viii be az work On
or before that time.
There is growing number OF coaches
who feel that Spring practice Is of
less value than 1t generally supposed.
but IL would seem TO be necessary IA
the South because of The heat II Sep

The principle that made Lon
Jourdet's out-of-bounds play from
the side line so successful over a
decade ago IN basket ball was back
of the first out-of-bounds play from
the end-hne. Here a different con-
dition exists. Usually. II the receiver
gets control Of the ball he IS in a
position TO try for q basket. So
blocking is carefully done and the
guards make sure OF keeping between
the possible receivers and the basket.
This tact Is made possible for two
players on attack at that basket TO
line up with one of them some 10
feet directly back Of the first one IN
order to use the latter as buffer
for his own guard. To free himself
for q shot ne would rush forward and
just Craze the outside OF his team
mate In front of him. The latter
merely stepped forward 10 block his
own guard. This stunt usually
enabled No. 3 to get the throw in and
either shoot at once or dribble closer
for a shot. 1t was a play much in
evidence in the Missouri Valley
Conference.
