In addition, they drop in an I'M,
usual number of two4hand chest
shots from Is to 30 feet away, a shot
used when the player with the ball
cannot pass to a teammate or ad-
vance it further himself. 1t used to
be that coaches frowned on these
long shots. Today they are very
much in vogue. The reason is that
basket ball has become highly spe--
cialized sport, the varsity players
practicing their shots for months be-
lore the season begins.
Another shot California uses is the
cross-body two-handed shot. It's
launched from the corner, the spot
where the defense always seeks to
drive the attack. joey Schaaf, Penn's
scoring ace last year, had this shot
down to perfection. Tomorrow weu

the purpose of this fence, though it has
been suggested that it will prevent chill
dren falling into the channel, although
the records do not show this to be a

into consideration the well known pro-
pensity that children have for climbing
up wherever there is a fence, we may
expect an increased number of involun-
