NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Having
built up an intersectional giant-killer
of awesome proportions, Coach Clair
Bee sat still long enough today to
analyze his Long Island University
basket ball team and attribute its
success chiefly to the "shock- troop"
system first popularized by Knute
Rockne and Notre Dame.
The L. I. U. cagers, in piling up
n straight victories, have knocked
over such powerhouses as Marquette

lucky from the South. In doing

If you were an adult during the
1906 World Series and. realizing
how long ago that was think you're
growing old. better get out and look
for basket ball coaching job.
According to G. Harris Doc)
White, who pitched the Chicago
White Sox to victory in the sixth and
last game of that diamond classic,
there's no better remedy for staving
off that antiquated feeling.
1T keeps you young" Doc was
saying today before calling his VIII
son Teachers College court squad out
for its daily practice. And from the
clear look in the eyes of the man
who finished as the third best pitcher
in the American League SO years
ago with a winning percentage of
.750, you'd never dream he was with
in three months of his 60th birthday.
day.
Graduated in Dentistry.
The nickname of Doc" to which
White has answered since 1902 is
genuine, for he graduated in dentis-
try from Georgetown in that year.
But an exceptional pitching skill
kept him in the big leagues until
1913 and his love of athletics has
kept him hale.
Docs" been at Wilson Teach
ers College for seven years and dur
ing that time has coached football
and basket ball. And it may come
as news to those who don't follow
the athletic fortunes of the Har-
ward street school so closely that
only once in seven seasons has Will
sons basket ball team finished on the
neither side of 500 percentage.
That despite the fact that White
never played basket ball himself
and, with the exception of coaching
the lightweight fives at Central
High School, where he served as
coach from 1921 to 1881, never had
an important court assignment until
starting at Wilson in the fall of 81.
AS a matter of fact, Wilson itself
didn't have a basket ball team be-
fore White started it that winter.
1t was just about that time that
the teachers college became CO.
educational, having been exclusively
a Yomen's training institution in
the past. Upon taking up his duties
there White reckoned, and rightly,
that basket ball would add prestige
to the school as well as give its
100 male students an active athletic
interest, and it was thus begun.
1t didn't take White long to pro-
duce a winning five, however, for
during the 1933-34 season Wilson
won Is of its 20 court games. With
few exceptions, White has had little
material to work with.
Gets Leftover Talent.
At one time or another doc"
has had such star high school prod
ucts as Phil Fox, Cliff Keyser. Ollie
Upton and Bobby Lucas, and this
year he is getting results with a
team led by Flash Gordon and
Charley Clark, the latter an all
high selection with Central q few
years ago. Normally, local high
school court stars go to Georgetown,
Maryland or George Washington, II
they don't go out of town, and Will
son gets what's left.

Yet the tWo-team system isn't all
the answer, by any means. Figuring
very vitality in any L. I. U. success
story-as much in that Of the pres
ent team as in that Of the earlier
world beaters-is the type of coach
ing they get.
Bee has one very definite policy,
and he has stuck to that throughout
his eight seasons at the Brooklyn
school. He teaches his boys to
shoot baskets-more baskets than
the other fellow. AS proof of his
teaching, there are figures to show
that, since 1888, the Blackbirds have
won 1913 games out of 1873 while scor-
ing 6,S4l points to the oppositions
3,724.
"If it's all the same to the Yankees,
you could compare us to them," says
L. I. us dapper, aggressive little
coach. "They go out to get more
runs than anybody else, and they're
tops in baseball.
Blackbirds Can Shoot.
1--WE go out to get more baskets,
and-well, we hope to be tops in
basket ball. Other teams may have
snapper ball handlers. That's all
very pretty. But as long as they
don't try to get the ball into the
basket we're going to beat them
and even if they do try to get it into
the basket we'n still beat them be-
cause our boys are better shots"
The next team to try to outshoot
the Blackbirds will be the Rockets
of Toledo University, who meet L. I.
U. in half of a Madison Square
Garden double header Friday night.
L. I. U. beat Marquette without
benefit of scouting. = Bee himself
secuted the Rockets, and has

defenses on a miniature court. In
