water polo, Franklin and Marshall
Academy; indoor rifle, freshmen of
Massachusetts, Tech: fencing, Princeton

Ad tnLNn-.
BY SOL METZGER.

Out-of-bounds plays in basket
ball, practically all based on legal
blocking, are one of the most inter-
esting phases of the sport. Coach
"Nibs" Price, of the Golden Bears of
California, who led the Pacific Coast
colleges with almost monotonous reg
ularity, has a pet one which is so
radically different from the usual
block variety that it catches most
opponents mapping and leads to di-
rect scores.
No. has the ball out of bounds
on the right sideline near the bas-
ket. Naturally, as Nos. and line
up in the court as shown, their re-
spective opponents, A and C, place
themselves between them and the
basket they are guarding AS No. 3
bluffs to pass, No. drives in to
block B, who is guarding No. 3. A
follows No. / and automatically Is
forced to help him in the blocking
of B.
simultaneously, No. 2 makes a
bluff to rush for the basket, but
turns sharply, as G, his opponent,
starts with him, and cuts for the
sideline, and No. 3, taking bounce
pass from the latter. c, No. 2's OPP
ponent, is out of the picture. AS No.
2 gets the ball he makes high pass
to No. 3, who broke for the basket
as soon as he passed to No. 2. He
dribbles and shoots.

~ team, which has far and away
the best record of any South
ern Conference court quint in the States
of Maryland. Virginia and North Caro-
Ina, is due to several factors working
together.
First of all, the Generals can put on
the floor team of five men, every one
OF whom stands feet ,or higher. In

IS OF great Importance this one factor
goes long way toward winning con-
| tests. The w. and l.. lineup doesn't
always include all five of the tall bows.
Tor there happen to be pair of good
floor men in Lexington who are a
| couple of inches shorter.
This Winter the Generals are not
relying on any one man to do the scor-
ing. They have three threats who have
scored more than 125 points each dur
ing the first six weeks of the 1929 sea-
son. Capt Jim Lowry has counted 1870
points, Cox l40 points and Williams
l27 points.
Sophs Are Prominent
Last season w. and l.. had a re-
markable freshman team and Coach
Smith has used this combination with
but few changes. Williams. the 6-foot-
3-lnch center, is a sophomore. as is
Cox, the high-scoring forward who
