This play is best used on the often
Sive foul mark.
Notice the formation in the &C
companying diagram. The center
taps ball to CID and he taps it back
to center, who backs up two steps.
Upon receiving it he shoots or passes
to either of side players who may
cut for basket. CID upon receiving
tap from center may pivot and take
a short shot.
On jump balls in the defensive
end of the floor, the ball should be
tapped to spot away from the
basket. If the ball should be tapped
nearer the basket an interrogation
would mean a shot by the oppoa-
entS.

Babe Ruth of
8O's Is Dead
at Age Of "a

BIZ United Press
WATERBURY, Conn, Jan. s.
Roger Conner, called "the Babe
Ruth of the '8Os," died here Sunday
in his seventy-fourth year.
Conner was the outstanding
slugger Of the New York Giants
when players wore whiskers and the
lively ball was unknown. Always
colorful performer, the handsome
220-pound first baseman was the
idol of the fans of his day.
The baseball he learned on the
Waterbury sandlots took Conner to
the New Bedford team in the New
England League in 1874. He played
later for Holyoke and Troy, before
advancing to the Giants in 1878.
Conner also saw service with Phil
adelphia and st. Louis. He closed
his big league career in 1902 with
st. Louis.
Although he had to wear eye
glasses, Conner played one Of the
keenest games in the league.
