THREE-WAY CAGE
LEAGUE TIE FOR

TRIPLE KNOT IF MARINES
WIN TONIGHT: MISERY
FOR PLUMBERS IN AFTER
PIECE WITH LIONS CLUB
By RABID FANSTER

A potential three-way tie fOI
second place in the Island City
Basketball League will feature
the doubleheader tonight in the
High School Gymnasium.
US. Marines, half-game in the
rear of runners-up Students and
Soldiers, will tackle the VP53
five in the opening game, 700
o'clock. Leathernecks are fully
aware of what victory will mean
for them and are donning their
fighting togs" for the tussle with
the Airmen.
Marines are expecting easy
sailing" and if their expectations
prove correct they will step up
on the second rung of the ladder
with the High School and Army
fives.
Always striving to outdo the
other, the rival government forces
will stage a rough and tumble ex-
hibition of the sport. Brans may
be the usual deciding factor IN
basketball victories but plenty of
Drawn will be needed tonight TO
prove that rule.
Peppers Plumbers are due to
be the fourth consecutive victim
of the Lions Club in the after
piece of the twin bill. The Pipe
Filters are nestled in the bottom
of the league with three straight
losses, while the Civic five is
comfortably sitting on top with
that many wins.
At this distance. it looks like
ne Plumbers are in for a terrible
beating. Lions have easily dis
penSed with the stronger clubs
of the circuit and only a surpris
ing upset will stop their pennant-
bound march.

NEW YORK, Dec 18-Ned
Irish. a New York sports writer,
had an idea seven years ago and
built it into the country'S most
spectacular basketball circus.
He thought the cage game
would draw here if top teams
throughout the country were
brought to New York to play 10
cal and Eastern pace-setters.
His guess was right. Year aft
er year New Workers have jam
med big Madison Square Garden
to see the basketball doublehead-
ers Irish stages.
Starting his seventh year as
promoter of basketball in the
Garden. Irish has lined up per-
hapS the greatest array of teams
he has ever booked.
He brought in Phillips 66 of
Oklahoma, the quintet which won
the National A.A.U. champion
ship last spring. to open the sea-
son. The opener was a real treat
for the fans. for the Phillips gang
had to play two extra periods to
win over New YOrk's OrbachS.

GOOD
BASKETBALL
3. BALL-HANDLING
BY CLAIR BEE
Lcnq Island University Coach

There's still one big phase of
basketball to think about before
we get into shooting, 1t is ball
handling-and don't think for a
moment it isn't every bit as i'm
portant as banging away at that
basket.
The No. l rule in ball-handling
is DON'T FIGHT THE. BALL"
Don't grab at it. just pick it out
of the air when IL comes at you.
Watch a passed bail intently and
follow it with your eyes until it
reaches your hands Then let il
slide into your fingers, allowing
your hands to give enough to take
the shock of the balls speed.
From the time it starts toward
you until you have passed it on,
think of the ball as a part of you.
Remember that accuracy comes
first, then speed. Start practicing
short passes and learn a number
OF different passes so that you can
throw from any angle. The
straight pass from the chest is
most used.
Here are some passing don'ts:
Don't pass to a teammates back:
don't pass laterally across the
floor: don't hold the ball-keep il
moving; don't try fancy passes;
don't pass the ball across in front
of your opponents basket.

The Year In Sports
Baseball

Of nine straight victories to open
the year and was a threat until
August when injuries, pitching
weakness and the lack of another
clutch hitter stopped the Dodg-
ers.
The Yankees, with everyone
but Joe DiMaggio having a bad
year, got left at the post and were
in the cellar a1Ier months play.
They climbed TO fourth place,
only three games back of the
leader, in early June. Mid-AugUst
found them back in the second di-
vision but then they unloosed an
offensive that threatened the
pace-setters. On September 9 the
Yankees were third, one game
out of the lead. But after they
dropped three straight to the St.
Louis Browns in mid-Sepember
they had to rally again to finish
third, only two games back.
The Boston Red Sox jumped
cut in front but last the play to
Cleveland and Detriot in late
June and never threatened there
after.
Detroit surprised from the start
with three "old men" and a new
conner. Rudy York, in the infield;
a none too stout outfield with
Hank Greenberg as a flychasing
experiment, and several rookie
pitchers. Experts figured the tt
gers couldn't hold up but the in
field hung together. York, Green
berg and the recruits were sue
cesses and the Tigers outpunched
the Indians down the stretch.
The Cardinals couldn't get 60
ing under Ray Blades and found
it was too late to make much OF
a showing after Billy Southworth
became manager in June. The
Giants and Cubs flopped badly.
Jimmy Wilson replacing Gabby
Hartnett as the Cubs manager
after the season.
Walters, Derringer and New
som all won 20 or more games
again. The veteran Fred Fitzsim-
mons of Brooklyn had the best
National league percentage with
Is wins against two losses. Brook
lyn's Tex Carleton entered the
hall of fame with an early no-hit-
ter.
Hank Greneberg probably was
the player-of-the year. He tried
a difficult experiment in shifting
from first base to the outfield and
became one of the best flychas-
ers. He led the league in homers
and runs batted in. and was vot-
ed the most valuable player.
Frank Mccormick of the Reds
was the Nationals most valua-
bic.
Joe Medwick, traded to Brook
lyn with Cardinal Curt Davis
for four players and some $780,
900 in the years biggest deal, was
hit by a pitched ball and out for
some time as was Bill Jurges of
the Giants and Pee Wee Reese of
the Dodgers. Reese, juvenile
shortstop. was perhaps the top
rookie.
Joe DiMaggio. with $50. and
Deb Garms of the Pirates, with
.355. were the batting champions.

Roger Peckinpaugh, signed to
