MAY DEDICATED
TO IMPROVEMENT
IN CHILD HEALTH

Although no formal May Day
celebration is being held among the
children of Ell Centre, DR.. Warren
F.. Fox, city and county public
health officer, today expressed the
opinion that the day should be made
one of especial consideration for the
welfare of children.
DR.. Fox has received in a health
bulletin, copies of Governors
Rolph's proclamation of May Day,
which stresses the need of measures
TO safeguard the health of children.
An article on President Hooyer's
White House conference on child
health and protection was displayed
as giving a comprehensive review OF
the necessities in caring for the
health of children.
The result of the conference was
a request to health officers in every
part of the country to cooperate in
protecting child health. In another
article 1t was shown that out of
45 900 children. $4,000 were reason
ably normal, while the rest we're de-
fective in health. OF those whose
health Yas impaired, 80 per cent
had-rf received the proper atten-
ton, according to the report.
DR.. Fox this morning said he is
willing to cooperate in any campaign
for the bettermen of the health of
children. feelngk this one of the most
important health measures in any
community.

Bulldogs Face Arkansas

EOR the fifth time this season.
4 Buffers Bulldogs, still unde-
feated, will face an intersectional
foe recognized as champion in its
district when they tackle the rangy
University of Arkansas snipers at

Tony Hinkle's tossers nosed out
Alabama's unbeaten southern con-
ference champs in their last start
here Monday. Brilliant defensive
work and accurate free-throw toss

featured the Bulldogs win.

cropped out in the Alabama tilt has
been ironed out by Hinkle and tie

Withrow, Tackett and Chadd are

out-of- bounds, the center in this
play, bounce-passes to CID under
the basket. On this play the guards
should shift men to prevent being
blocked off.
College teams employ out-of-
bounds plays in the following ways:
The quick paSs-in for quick shot,
the block play, and the pass to the
back men for possession. The quick
pass-in-play consists of speed and
clever footwork and the purpose is
to get the ball in play before the
defense gets set. The block out-of-
bounds play is used after the de-
Tense has become set. The play for
possession is used any time.
A Purdue out-of- bounds play is
diagrammed in the lower part of the
chart. The forwards line up side
by side and spread, allowing the
guard to drive through for a close
in shot. AS a variation the for
wards criss-cross and the guard re-
mains stationary.
There should be a relation be-
tween out-of- bounds plays and the
regular offense in order to get bet
ter execution. One play for the Of
fensive end of the floor is sufficient.
The defense against out bounds
plays must be very alert. Defensive
men should stick to their men so
closely that it will be hard to put
the ball in play. Shifting is neces-
sary on block out-of bounds plays.
