THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

Minneapolis, JAN 12.-There is
more interest in University of Min
nesota basketball this year than
there has been in many years. 1t is
not all enthusiastic interest. Some
Of it is intensely critical interest.
This situation is explained by
two facts. Coach Dave MacMillan's
record through nine years has plac-
ed him definitely on the spot. Stu
dents and alumni believe the time
has come when he must deliver or
retire. Consequently they are watch
ing his work with keen interest.
Secondly, the material and the style
of play the Gophers have revealed
this year indicate Macmillan has at
least a chance to confound his crit
les by delivering in generous way
His squad has as much speed as
any he had had at Minnesota and
it has more accurate and danger
Gus scorers than any Minnesota
squad in years. Moreover, the play
ing ability runs deeper than the
first five men. 1t runs down to the
fifth and sixth substitute, including
some sophomore lads who may de-
ve]op amazingly as the season ad-
vances.
1t has been the contention of
MacMillan's supporters and he
has good many that he knows
as much basketball as any coach in
the country, but that he had not
had the material capable Of play
ing his style. Strangely enough
MacMillan's detractors say approx
imately the same thing, but they
put it this way: We'll grant he
knows basketball, but his style OF
play suits only a certain polished
type of material that is not usually
available at Minnesota. The point
is he can't change his style to suit
the normal type of material that
comes out of OUR high schools. So
let's get a coach with a style that
will work right here"
You see, both sides agree Mac
MILAN knows basketball. He is one
of the soundest defensive coaches
in the game and his scoring plays
are beautifully conceived. The crit
icism is that they require a dexter
ity of ball handling that can be
found only in the professional game
or at such universities as Indiana
and Purdue where prep school ma
terial is highly polished.
1t is strange but true that Mac
MILAN has changed the style Of
play in nearly every University in
the Conference. Other coaches have
adopted his ideas and have won
with them; but Macmillan, himself,
has not been able to win. In nine
years his teams have twice tied for
second place, but usually have fin
ished in the second division. The
record of his complete tenure has
not been good.
Now, however at the time when
critisicm is sharpest he seems to
have had the good fortune to find
players of the type that fit his style

of play. They are fast and tricky
and many of them are deadly shots.
If he wins with this team his de-
tractors will continue to say, lit is
still true he doesn't belong at Min
nesota because, year in and year
out, Minnesota material can't play
that style of basketball. Why do we
have to wait ten years for the lucky
accident which assemblies a squad
that happens to suit the coach? ?
Why not get a coaching style which
suits Minnesota material most of
the time, just as we have done in
football?
Just the same, Macmillan will be
safe in his job if he does send a
strong squad through the Confer
ence race this year. It's hard ar
guing against success, while it is in
the process of succeeding.
MacMillan's stronger supporters
assert, however, that the turning
point has been reached and that
this years team will be followed by
other strong teams, because the i'm
provement in high school basket
ball throughout the state is per
manent.

either Pittsburgh or Washington,
Bowl competitors. It was evident in
the first three or four minutes of
the game that Pitt was keyed to
win, and that Washington was
dead on its feet" And the people
Of California were clamoring for
Minnesota instead of Pitt. In fact
the California press, Stub said, was
50 down on the Pitt crew that they
razzed Washington on their selec-
ton. The Bronx cheer eminating
from California was so raspine
that Phelan and his Washington
Huskies are still suffering from
ringing ears.

Is to II at the close of the game,
the second win of the season was
chalked up for the locals. Harvey
affirmed that the boys are in good
shape, their shooting average has
gone up, and their passing and de-
fensive games are much improved.
In this matter of shooting
some quite complete records
are being kept by the team
managers. There they list the
points scored against each play
er denOting who is bit slow on
defense. Listings are also kept
of number of shots taken, and
the position player is in when
taking shot, and how many he
converted. Averages are kept
for each game. Starting with a
team percentage of about IL
In the St Cloud game the lads
have stepped that average up to
more than rs per cent In the
recent St Johns game. In fact
the actual team percentage was
29.4. Walker. Hoffman, and
Brendon averaged 40 percent In
shots made from the field.
while Bellinger ranked high
man with a game percentage of
IS. Arvig ranked low In the last
game with 8.3. He took IL
pl0ps at the basket and for his
own amazement he connected
with one. He and Reble, led
with q 100 percent average on
free throw tossing. Hoffman
took 30 percent, and Walker
1873. Free throw percentages
for the team ranked at 55.5.
Which Is better than average.

The seconds in their shooting
trailed the locals by very little.
Their team average was 20.8 in the
last game. Fish was high with SO
percent, and Ethun followed with
1873. In foul shooting they fell
down a little ranking 1873. Deziel
counted so percent of his free
throws, and the rest of the boys
missed all of their gift shots.
Totals in games to date show
a lad, Donald Kringen, second
stringer, in the lead with high per-
centage for shooting. He's high man
over the varsity string as well. His
percentage for field shooting is $685.
and his nearest competitors are
Fish and Bellinger with 80 percent.
The varsity team average is 2O.5,
slightly lower than Mr.. Harvey be-
lieves should be normal. He sets
the norm at Is per cent The sec
onds have made the grade with a
team field average of 25.3. Arvig
and Reble rank low in the field
percentages. Arvig with 1913 and
Reble with 1O.5. But both Of these
boys have been shooting strong.
Arvig has taken total of GA shots,
some of the boys list here with
high percentages have taken as
low as 3 shots in the four games.
They'll connect one of these days.
While Bellinger ranks highest with
100 percent on free throws he has
had only one. Arvig with IL has
cracked 9 of those shots, and Reble
has taken out of II. Ethun has so
percent, and Kringen is in the 60
bracket again on gift shots. The
seconds are way low on free shoot
ing, missing the normal of so with
35.2. The varsity has not deviated
so far with 45.1.

running after Helie Vose."
That dancer?" exclaimed Tony, the hand

Weeks? say, aren't you exaggerating?"
Perhaps" young Arnold admitted with
pseudo-humility, Il should have said he is
toftering after her. They say he's given her
square-cut emerald as big as one of those
brandy menthe frappes la Vose used to get
tight on, because they are such Iadylike

giggled Alice, the daughter of the house.

man airily, ''but it will have to keep, because
I'm lunching at the Weeks and I'm hours late

Mrs. Spratt effected introductions.

Arizona did not look as if she thought Mr.
Arnold at all amusing, but she nodded briefly
''Howdy!" she said, not however offering to
shake hands, but looking his gaily-clad figure
up and down with frank curiosity.
"Tell me something, stranger" she added
after slight pause. "Are you really going
over and eat with the Weeks? Excuse my
curiosity, but l couldn't help hearing what
you said" Arnold looked rather staggered for
an instant, and then resumed his eiderdown-
like poise.
'Yes indeed, I'm lunching there" he said
deliberately ignoring her innuendo. Can take
