Some teams are enjoying success by using two pivot-post players, side by side, just outside the foul circle. The rule restricting the pivot play, however, has encouraged the use of the set defense, an unfortun- ate development for basketball, as 1t slows up action for the spectators.
 Would Retain Jump
 The center jump is one of basket balls most attractive features. It always has been associated with the game, and, as yet, no good argu- ment has been advanced against it. While some coaches claim injuries result, have yet to see an injury caused by center-ju in my 12 years of coaching.
 The claim that the center jump causes fouls is certainly not true in eastern basketball. Another argu- ment advanced claims it is unfair for tall man to control the tip. Most teams possess a tall center but it is unusual to have him control the tip completely. A smart defensive team will steal the tip-off repeat edly.
 It is my opinion the game should be left alone by the rules makers SC spectators may have the opportunity to learn the game as it is now played. As it is, basketball is hedged about by trick rules that cause off cials constantly to interrupt play with the result that steady whistle

Joe Mccarthy, manager of the New York Yankees, on a recent visit to New York to discuss plans for the coming season with Colonel Ruppert, tossed a beefsteak party for some 200 baseball officials, play CTS and newspapermen at Jack DempSeys. It was a grand pre- season get-together. And everyone got acquainted before the serious business of baseball campaigning starts again.
 Aside from the fact that the Yan- kee management was trying to pick up a second baseman, with no luck whatever because every one they are interested in seems to bear an unbelievable price tag 0ike the $500, 900 one Clark Griffith pinned on Buddy Myer when a Yank C representative appeers on the scene, there was little American league news floating around.
 Stoneham We'll Liked
 Here, at an American league par ty, the most discussed news morsel was the elevation of young Horace Charles Stoneham to the seat his late father occupied as president of the New York Giants, the National league entry.

Basketball Coach, Syracuse Univ. Written for The Associated PressD
 SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 7.-Syra- cuse uses both the fast and slow breaking attack in basketball, de- pending upon the defense and situa- tion presented.
 The fast-breaking type is em- ployed whenever the opportunity is open. Usually, we favor the fast milling, passing game against a msn-to-man defennse. Against set defense we use spot pass. Syracuse also stresses the out-of bounds and center plays.
 New Pivot fost Play
 The new rule restricting the pivot play has not hampered cur system. Some teams have elimi- mated the pivot-post man but the play may be used effectively by set ting up a player on either side Of the free throw line, under the bas- ket, if a man with long stride is available.
 The pivot also remains. suitable well out in the field of play, with two fast players moving about the pivot man. The pivot man also may slide into the foul lane from the corner, with the pass timed to reach him the instant he enters this restricted territory.

Drives 1921 Ford
On 265 Mile Journey

The vitality and independence
of the true pioneer were shown
Thursday by Mrs. John Vail, "a,
who drove large part of the way
from her present home in Remer
to visit friends in Redwood Falls
where she once lived for several
years. Accompanied by Max Pea
body, "the first man ever to drive
my car" according to the intrepid
little woman, she accomplished the
265 mile trip between a. m. and
p. m. The car is a 1921 Ford.
Mrs. Vail and her husband
moved to Remer when the north
country was still a wilderness.
Every year since then she
has raised an enormous garden
from which she supplies summer
campers and has done a good
share of the work on her small
farm.
Pioneering seems to appeal
strongly to the Vail family, as
Mrs. Pearl Omstead, granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. Vail, is one of the ORR
ginal Mantanuska, Alaska, set
tiers. She writes interesting dis
patches on the life there to friends
in Morton and Redwood Falls.

Soon afterward the party began
going through the rooms where the
ornate harnessings are kept. But
something seemed to have happened
to Joe. He appeared preoccupied, as
though he might still be thinking Of
the forsaken Brownie.
He listened as the groom explained
that the Mexican saddle on the wall
rack was given to King Edward VII
by Buffalo Bill" Cody, and that the
riding whip topped by a blue-fringed
sunshade was used by Queen Victoria
when she was a child. But Joe had
ceased asking questions. He remained
silent even when the guide displayed
the gold gilt and red morocco leather
harness used on the horses drawing
the Kings coach each year at the
opening of Parliament.
1T cost 1000 pounds ($5,000) to
regild that harness on one occasion,

the gilt and black leather saddlery
used on the horses at royal weddings

The groom nodded.
II say" Joe exclaimed suddenly,
"these horses aren't shod like ami or
dinary horse!"
NO" said the groom. He lesned
over and lifted one Of the hooves.
They're shod with rubber
Joe was silent. He looked as though
he was about to ask q very important
question, . but the groom had begun
talking Of the Kings state coach, and
Joe refrained.
The Coronation Coach.
The Kings state coach Is the one
in which King Edward VIII will ride
to his coronation next May IL. The
groom led the way to q special coach
house in which it Is housed, with q
special guard beside 1t.
1t was . gigantic thing of gold,
lined with red upholstering. The ex-
terror is fashioned in rocco style,
with many gold figures, particularly
two very large cupidlike ones on the
front. Even the wheels are gild. All
is gold except the paneling sn the
side Of the coach itself. This panel
ing consists of paintings executed
almost 200 years ago by the artist,
Cypriani.
The coach was designed by Sir
william Chambers" said the guide.
ut was made under King George II
and finished in the year 1851. 1t cost
nearly 5000 pounds ($40,000 weighs
4 tons, and is drawn by horses. 1t
has been used by each successive
sovereign since George Nv at their
respective coronations, and on the oc-
casions of their opening Parliament
in person. except during the period
Of Queen Victoria's widowhood."
Joe was silent, looking at the
coach, then turned to follow the
groom to the last exhibit of all-the
news riding hall.
"Sight and Sound" for Horses.
Here" said the guide, "is where
sight and sound takes place. AS
you may well guess, the horses at
the royal news are used very little
in the streets, amid the noise Of
motor cars and omnibuses. Conse-
quently, we fear to think what might
happen II they were used in a corona
tion procession, or even one at the
opening Of Parliament, II they took
part without preparation. Every day
| for two weeks before coronation the
horses will be brought into this hall.
Here they will be ridden around for a
fitting period, while bands play, peo-
pie cheer and shout and every noise
is made that a horse might be likely
to near on the street during corona
| ton procession. Even school chill
dren are brought into raise their
tiny voices in shrill cries. That is
what we call sight and sound AS
| a result of it the horses are not dis
turbed at all on coronation day"
| Joe listened, little open-mouthed.

now used for visiting royalty: and the
town coach, used by foreign officers,
or lords and ladies on court night.
The groom went out Of his way to
show how the steps to a coach fold
up inside. after the occupant has
climbed in.
Then. passing on, Joe's interest
suddenly revived. The guide was
pointing to a chestnut horse which
stood with a marked degree Of dig
nifty inside a stall.
THAT is Cobham," he said, with
a note of veneration in his voice.
"Cobham is the mount used by the
present King for such things as guard

sighed.
The groom frightened.

and, Of course, only the head groom

Of the shoe he kept digging in the
