Man-tO.Man and
Zone Defense Used
BY SOL METZGER.
corr 9IhE5
hAN-NNAN
AnO ,zonE

The standard five-man, two-line,
man. to man defense that existed in
the conference a decade ago has
gone by the boards. It did not
prove adequate. Smart coaches
worked out schemes to overcome 1t
and did. Today, the majority of
most all Of them, have adopted
combination mani 0-man and zone
defense.
In this respect basket ball is quite
similar to foot ball defense against
the forward pass. Gridir0n tutors
never have definitely hit upon one
defense for all types Of pass plays.
Some play man-t0-man defense,
others zone defense and still
others q combination of the two.
The latter Is in most favor In both
sports.
Diagrammed above is the standard
basket ball defense in the Western
Conference. A, b and C drop into
the positions shown when the Op-
position gets the ball. Each takes
the first man to enter his zone and
then stays with him to the bitter
end, playing him a man-tO-man
defense. Z and ID take last two men
TO come down. But they do not
leave their sides of the court. If
their opponents swap sides they
swap men. One Of the exceptions to
this rule is Walter MeanweIl of Wis
consin, one Of the several tutors
who developed the old five-man de-
Tense to its highest point. Let me
say right here that / have never
been able to find out who originated
the flve-man defense. Every time I
have given credit to Jourdet Of Penn
or to Meanwell Of Wisconsin others
arise to dispute such claims.

SCHOOLBOY F|VES

- TX games in which basket ball
teams of the District scholastic

matches are set for floors here

the Mckinley gym, st. Adams will en-
terrain Donaldson School of Baltimore
on the formers floor, Hyattsville High
and Georgetown Prep will face at Gar

Gonzaga swamped Dewitt, "a to 6, in
a Prep School Basket Ball League game
in the Boys Club gym, Central drubbed
Silver Spring High, 80 to IL, on the
latter's floor and Western lightweights
swamped st. Adams, A to 10, in the

Gonzaga today enjoys . fat lead In
the Prep School Basket Ball League
race as the result Of its easy win yes
terday over Dewitt. The Emerson-St.
Johns contest also scheduled in the
league yesterday was postponed because
Of conflict in dates. Gonzaga now has
won four games against no defeats.
Dewitt, standing second, has captured
two matches and lost as many. Emer-
son and st. Johns have yet to win, the
latter having lost its only start and
s. Johns having dropped all three of
its games to date.
Handicapped by the absence Of Henry
Galotta, guard, who has been declared
ineligible because he Is a graduate Of
high school here, Dewitt yesterday never
theless furnished Gonzaga q stiff fight
during the first half which ended with
the Purple In the van, to 3. In the
second half, however, Gonzaga literally
ran wild to pile up its big lead. Clark,
Dewitt guard, became Ill during the con-
test and had to quit and this doubtless
further weakened his team.
Virtually all Gonzaga's players took
hand in the scoring with Dunn and
Kane doing most of it. Gleason and
Clark scored Devitt's two goals from
scrimmage.
The game in which Dewitt defeated
Emerson, 81 to 90, last week and which
was protested by Emerson because Dewitt
used Galotta will be replayed later In
the schedule, league officials have
announced.
In league games next Wednesday, st.
Johns will meet Dewitt and Emerson
will engage Gonzaga.

Basket Ball Problems
BY OSWALD TOWER,
Member Joint Rules COMMITTEES.

Question: If a player out of bounds
throws the ball in almost a straight
line and it passes through the basket,
is the ball played the same as II it had
not passed through the basket?
Answer: No. If this player had been
awarded the ball out Of bounds before
he threw 1t into the basket the ball
would be dead the instant it passed
through, the goal would not count and
the ball would be tossed UP at center.
II the player had stepped out of bounds
without knowing it, and had thrown for
goal before he heard the offlcial's
whistle, tho ball would be brought back
and awarded to an opponent at that
point.

Score:

''Bucky" O'Neil has been named base
ball coach at Georgetown. O'Neill
played an infield position for the Blue
and Gray for three years, holding down
short, second and third at various
times during his three seasons on the
varsity. Athletic Director Little ex-
poets O'Neil to make good In the Job
that has been laid out for him, not
withstanding the fact that there Is not
as much material available this year
az usual.
The story that in one way or another
has gained some publicity to the effect
that Virginia has established something
like 200 athletic scholarships, that there
was a revolution on among students in
connection with possible changes in
Virginia's coaching personnel, is SIM
ply so ridiculous that it Is q wonder
that anybody ever put any credence
Ia it.
It would be a deliberate violation of
the code under which Virginia con-
ducts its athletics to establish athletic
scholarships and those responsible for
athletics at Virginia have entirely too
much intelligence to attempt anything
Of the kind, even II ethical considera-
tons were eliminated, which in itself
never would happen at Virginia.
Also Virginia's athletic authorities
are entirely too intelligent to take any
action so radical that it might cause
an upheaval among the student body.
Virginia's students are just as loyal to
Virginia as the students Of any other
university are loyal to their school and
they, without any question, undouhted-
" will be found solidly back Of any
program that may be worked out for
the betterment Of the athletic situation
at Virginia.
Failure to pass their midyear exam
nations has led to the diSbarment OF
Ed Leary and Jack Byrnes from George
town basket ball for the remainder OF
this year. Leary has not been playing
a good deal, but Byrnes has been used
in several games. 1t Is not likely,
though, that their absence viii affect
q good deal the prospects OF the team.
Ray Whelan's fall in the race with
Holy Cross and Boston College In the
Millrose games in New York Saturday
night last may cost the Blue and Gray
the opportunity to win events in which
1t has to take part In the next two
weeks. It is reported that Whelan
bruised himself so much that he may
not be in shape to compete again for
two weeks or more.

to make the catch. Andresko was

HONOR FAMOUS
SOUP CHEF

Louis Charles Delisle, head chef
emeritus of the Campbell Soup
Company, has been decorated by
the French government with the
Cross of Chevalier du Merite, agri-
cole, for the part he has played
in spreading the popularity OF
the best French cooking through
the medium of CampbellS soups.
The award was made by the
Ministry of Agriculture on the
recommendation of the Ministry
of Public Instruction.
The accompanying citation,
which addresses M. Delisle as
"Ghef des chefs de cuisine" reads:
Through many years you have
contributed in distinguished de-
gree to the appreciation of the
artistry of French cooking
throughout the entire civilized
world, both by your services and
by the instruction that you have
bestowed upon others"
M. Delisle entered the employ
of the Campbell Soup Company
q years ago. For nine and one
half years previous to his advent
in the Campbell organization he
had been with the Franco-Amer-
lean Food Company. In all those
36l2 years he was chef of chefs,
and in all of that time he was
engaged in the commercial pro-
ductiOn of soup.

CAN YOU BAKE A
WAFFLE?

It is often difficult to time &C
curately the few minutes neceS-
sary to cook waffle in an cleo
trio Waffle.iron without the use
of a timepiece. And watching
minute.hand Is not only tire
some but disastrous to table con
verSation.
An egg-time is an unusually
convenient solution to this an
noying problem. The running
sand is easy to watch and there
is little chance of undercooked or
burned waffles. Each and every
one is perfectly cooked.
The exact time for cooking
waffles varies somewhat, how
ever, with the different waffle
irons and with the voltage on
which they are used. In many
cases the suggestion offered here
would be found just right; while
in other it would be found to
serve as only an approximate
timer.
