The accompanying chart shows a
very strong formation for the block,
but it can be used with or without the
block. The floor guard advances the
ball, passing to tF2), who fakes a pass
back to the floor guard but turns and
passes to GID. The forward CID
hands the ball backato CID in a close
block to keep off tF2)'s guard. (F2)
passes to Co coming from the corner
The center may return the pass in a

and dribble in to pass to the open
man near the basket. The Backyard
trails the play and is in a good po-
sition for back passes.

After an investigation of reports that
the gang car was still directing opera
tons of his syndicate. it was announced
that there was no evidence that he was
being accorded special treatment at the
Jail. The United States marShal'S Of
fec. however. issued an order directing
the warden to admit to Capone's cell
only his immediate family, his attorneys
and any others given passes by the

1t was explained that the marshal
would examine carefully all persons ap-
plying for permission to sec the gang
Ster as he awaits the appeal on his con-
viction as an income tax dodger.
Investigation by Government agents
was started after Federal Judge James
H. Wilkerson, who sentenced Capone tC
II years, and United States District At
tOrney George E. Q. Johnson. who
headed the prosecution, both received
anonymous communications stating
that Capone was receiving telephone

abling him to control his gang as well
as if he were outside the jail.

issuing passes to Capone's visitors
Several minor politicians had asked to
see the gangster and it was feared they
would turn over their permits to
Capone lieutenants.
