Basketball
as Uieioed by Charles Patterson
eau. Of O. basketball star


Basketball is fast becoming the
most popular national winter pas
time of many. In 1886, this sport
was rated first as drawing card
and in popularity, packing IN some
so million spectators throughcut
the season.
There are two systems of Of
Tense in basketball; the fast-break
cffense and the set-play offense.
A fast-breaking offense is an
offense that works the ball down
the court before the defense gets
set. It calls for men who can
keep going at top speed every mo-
ment they are in the game-every
moment, that is, except when the
other team has a chance to get its
defense set. Critics of this sys-
tenn say that defense is overlook
ed TO a great extent as the empha-
sis is put on scoring more points
than the other team. To a certain
extent this is true, of course, but
the old adage still holds true: a
good offense is the best defense.
A set-play offense is an offense
which allows the opponents to get
their defense set; then the set
plays are used in order to pene-
trate the set defense. In the set
play system there is always the
emphasis put on perfect plays.
theoretically the ball, as a rule,
is not supposed to be shot at the
basket until it is a cinch basket.
The only thing that delayed or
set-offense has that the fast break
doesn't is more finesse. There is
chance for fancier stuff-more
pivots, more blocks. and more
fakes.
And they say the fast break
ACeNuo " oAOppACA bciA1 lAoAldilAlS anu
poorer passing. 1t may be that
there are more bad passes, more
fumbles, and more out-of- bounds
plays But why? Simply because
the pace is so much faster that it
is more difficult to handle the ball.
It is much easier to make good
passes and keep possession of the
ball when you are passing to men
who are stationary or moving at
slow rate of speed.
But for color, for action, It's the
fast break that gets the call every
time. It takes more chances, it
brings more points, and it puts
greater premium on split second
maneuvers and individual decision
even though it does sacrifice a lit
tie in precision.

cades ago ITS persons out of ev- cry 100000 then living died an- nually from tuberculosis while today the corresponding rate is about 55.
 We have learned from eXperi- ence how to control tuberculosis. We know that hospitals for treat ment of the disease and for health protection are our main line of defense against the disease. We have proved that clinics, doctors, tuberculin testing and X-raying of high school and college child ren and young adults, together with competent public health nursing, are essential to find tub erculosiS in its early curable form and to prevent its spread in home school and industry. We know that health education in the school and in the population at large will teach people how to avoid tuberculosis, and, above all, we know that organization of community resources and of fo- cused public opinion on the pro- blem of tuberculosis are mighty aids in getting rid of this White Plague.
 Why then, should we allow a leak of two billion dollars to con- tinue? It is simply because of indifference on the part of the public. Some people know how to prevent tuberculosis but every body should know how to prevent it. The tuberculosis associations of the United States, local, state, and National have been the lead CTS in the fight against tubercu- losis. Their biggest task is now before them. With the distinct gains that have been made in the last thirty years many people think that tuberculosis is onquer- ed but this is far from being the ase. Tuberculosis still is Public Enemy No. among the young people of this nation. The job of conquering tuberculosis can be completed but it needs the SUD- port of every man, woman and child in the country.

A TWO BILLION DOLLAR
 LEAK.
(By Philip P. Jacobs, Ph.D,) Director of Publications and Ex- tension National Tuberculosis
 Association.

Tuberculosis is a costly disease, costly to the individual, costly to his family, costly to industry, costly to the community. All of us taxpayers and rent-payers, must pay for sickness, whether we are Il or we'll. For the tuber- culoSis patient there are such tan- gible expenditures as loss of wag- eS and income, doctor and hospi- tai bills, besides the cost that comes from the danger of spread ing this disease to his friends and family.
 At this very moment there are no less than 50O,0O0 active cases of tuberculosis in the United Sta tes This year, 1887, about 10000 persons have died of tuberculosis, most of them young adults, for this is a young persons diesease.  If you will multiply 500,000 living cases by $4,000, which is the care fully computed cost of tuber- culosis case to home, industry and community, you will get the stu pendous total of two billion dol lars. That's what these 50O,00O cases of tuberculosis will cost you and everyone else who lives in the United States.
 But most of that cost is unnec- essary, since tuberculosis is dis ease that can be prevented. In fact, it can be eradicated. That two billion dollars is like leak in a great dam or dike where the water that should be saved for productive uses, runs away need lessly.
 Why not stop this leak? We know how to do it; we have been able to reduce the havoc of tuber. culosis from 150,O00 deaths some thiry years ago to about 70,OO( at the present time. Three de
