Game Gets Changed
POise An Early Factor

Down on Fundamentals
Dream Team at Sank
Rapids Bears Watching
You know, a lot of things have
happened to this game of basket
ball. It requires more ruggedness
in the men playing; it requires
more men on any given squad; it
requires a lot of mental poise. {.
There's probably no game today IN
which mental poise is so important
a factor. A team can have a ten,
twelve point lead and lose it just
like that. It can be out in front
in it's schedule and burn out so
completely, then only stagger thru
the rest of the games. Lifeless as
a piece of string. ..
$50
In regard to this mental poise,
a team must come slowly. This is
no attempt to alibi early season
losses this local squad has sustain
ed. They lost because as Schwartz
puts it, they've not developed as
quickly on fundamentals" Now of
course a team without it's funda-
mentals down pat, is going to have
difficulty. And without them they
aren't going to learn-until they get
them. But assuming they get
their fundamentals, then it hinges
on a matter of experiencing them
until passing, breaking, screening
and the like become second nature.
Then you have a ball club. .
This Tommy Anti fellow, coach at
Cloud, brings his teams around in
a hurry. Last year those torrid
Tigers busted off Sank Centre as
easily as a housewife removing the
dust from the table. BY mid
season, a precipitous sequence of
circumstances had reduced them to
nearly no ball club. Maybe they
didn't burn out. But there's plen-
ty chance. For the right psy-
Geological doses aer those that come
piling one on the other until near
tournament time a team has reach
ed its peak. :.
But there's more to IL than
just that this year. Heretofore
the tournament has been para
mount. Outside of keeping fam
dom lured into the gym and out
of its money, there was little
incentive to keep the scheduled
season on the black side Of the
ledger. OF course, one wants to
win each game, but the real
payOff came in the tournament.
:. This year that changes.
Sank Centre Is fledgling In the
West Central Conference, and to
protect that position with any
kind Of reasonable certainty she
must pay ball and get into the
brackets. So the tournament
