take the throw in, has height and
speed.
No. merely stands still. But
No. 2 is off like a shot at top speed
all the way. He runs around No. 3
and circles for the basket. AS he
nears it he gets a high lob pass
from No. l who throws the bali as
shown in the sketch.
No. 2 takes the ball as he leaps
and he never alightS to shoot. After
he catches it with both hands as l.
is leaping he plays a one-hano
carom for the basket off the back
board. the way to try for baskets
from the side when the shot is short.
Looks like simple play to break
up, but it's worked in such rapid
fire order with the ball fed to him at
such great height that few teams
are able to stop it.

The little republic Of Bolivia has Just

road from Puerto Ichilo to Santa Cruz

This little railroad is only 10 miles
long, but 1t is most important, for II
links Santa Cruz with the Mamore and
the Madeira, two great rivers, which
unite and form the largest tributary Of
the Amazon.
And thus Bolivia, thanks to the co.
operation of Brazil. gains its second
outlet to the Atlantic Ocean.
