BACK OF BASKETBALL
OF THREE SECOND RULE ADDS
 NEW LIFE TO PIVOT PLAY, KEOGAN CLAIMS

Second of 20 instructive bas- ketbalI articles by nationally known coaches.

BY GEORGE KEOGAN Coach, University of NOtre Dame

South Bend, Dec. 16.-I am glad that the rules committee gave new life to the pivot play by junking the rule which prohibited player from taking a position within the foul line territory for more than three seconds.
 Under the new ruling a man may say in the middle part of the foul zone as long as he wants to, just so he does not have pos session of the ball for more than three seconds.
 The pivot type of offense has long been an important part ot basketball.

PIVOT BORN IN PROFESSIONAL GAME

It no doubt came from the pro- fessional game, where men like Dutch Dehnert and Joe Lopchick worked it so effectively.
 It is a simple type of offense which demands a good, and usual ly big, ball-handler, with fast men ready to break around him once the ball is worked in.
 Some really fine pattern work can be formed with this type of offense.
 No style Of play affords more variation, fine passing, and cut ting.
 Everything, of course, depends on the pivot man. If you get high-calibered ball. handler in the pivot you have an offense that is difficult to stop.
 He can give the ball to team mate who may cut across or around him.
 He may pass it back out to a guard for a shot from just beyond the foul line.
 He may pivot and take a shot himself.

"To meet all these requirements
promptly and without excitement
is, in my opinion, the most i'm

American people on the goth an
niversary of the Armistcie.
"The performance of that duty
should preserve our peace, and if
that proves impossible will en-
able us to be more secure behind
our defenses.
"More than this. it will bring
home to other governments our
strength, and will pave the way
for reduction in armaments which
is the wish of all of us who hate

Chadwick warned that future
war would not be confined to en-
gagements between armies and
navies, adding that therefore the
dangers and responsibilities
should be made common to the
entire populace through a uni

at is for this reason and for
the reason that no one should be
permitted to profit out of COM

enactment of universal service
act" he said.
ut is one reasoned conclusion
of your World War veterans
which we seek to have enacted in
to law. We ask those who agree
with us to make their thoughts
known to their representatives.
We feel that the enactment of a
universal service law is duty
we owe to our country, a part of
a proper program of prepared
ness. The principle, if enacted in
to law, will not only eliminate
one of wars causes but will avoid
