Hook Shot Now
Figures in Attack
BY SOL METZGER.

How times have changed! Only a
few years back and the hook shot
for a basket in the court game was
an act Of last resort, a desperate
chance when all else failed. Today
this same shot Is one of the staples
of basket ball attack. Watch George
Veenker's Wolverines in the Big Ten
race this year and see for yourself.
In their floor plays they will build
the attack around a tall forward
who beats Il down the middle of
the court, then cuts back, takes a

pass from a teammate and shoots.
The cut-back Is used to free this
tall man from his immediate OPP
ponent, supposedly leading him to
the basket. Natur&;iy this opponent
turns and rushes after him. When
the opponent threatens a one-hand
chest shot Is out Of the question.
Whereupon Michigan's player uses
q one-hand hook shot, the shot here
with illustrated. as such q shot
clears the leaping opponents hands
and Is rs likely as not to loop into
the basket.
To make this shot hold the ball
waist high in the throwing hand
with fingers spread and ball against

the crest of your Jump swing the
