A man admires the girl who en-
joys and understands the sporting
event they attend together. The
wide-eyed damsel who thought a
football coach had four wheels Is
as out of date as the one-horse
shay.
Not that you need to be talk
ing sporting page. You have only
to learn the fundamentals. And
how your beaus eyes light up
when you show you know what's
meant by dead ball in football,
face-off in ice hockey, a free
throw In basketball.
The ball is dead in football
when 1t has rolled out of bound
airy lines. Play stops, the ball is
taken back 10 yards inside the
playing area and then play begins.
The face-off In ice hockey Is the
manner of opening play Centers Of
the two teams meet in mid-ice,
an official dropping the puck be-
tween them to start the play.
In basketball, a player gets a
free throw when fouled. What's
a foul? You can easily learn to
recognize the offenses which count
as fouls, not have to ask why
when the referees whistle blows.
