f S::.,s Centre SPORTS . L q. E Went:

arily to give the spectators a better
break in a faster, better-moving
ball game; it took a premium of
of height, and did away with the
obvious difficulty of allowing a
team with one tall man at center
to command the ball at the outset
a good share of the time. d.
In the first place the states
coaches are primarily concern
ed with the effect Of the game
on young, growing bodies. The
spectators point of view Is sec
Ondary, and Is important only
because there Is a charge made
for the games. They are al
so concerned with the science
of the game. This new game,
that has opened up a fast
break, has gotten a bit out of
hand. 1t has given rise to the
"fire engine type of ball that
makes coaches gnash their
teeth.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-27

What this center jump did in the
first place was make the game
longer. Actually the ball is in
play much longer period of time
than it used to be. It has opened
the way toward higher scoring; it
has nearly nullified the defense.
. . AS it is now team A takes
a shot, it is missed. So team B
goes on the offensive at once. Team
A rushes heller SHELTER back on
defense but rarely under a fast
break has team A enough time to
catch its poise. Result is, be-
cause of this and the fact the game
is longer, fouling is growing stead
lily. . . And now there are ad-
vocates for unlimited foul rule and
those who would extend elimina-
ton of a player only after five
personal commitments.

To complete the picture the
Main Street League is lead by Mer-
chants Bank team, only team in
any league to have it's lead straight
through from the first week. +.
But amiably getting in their hair
is Borgmann Bros. outfit who now
trail but eight games after rear
ranging themselves to win three,
and watching the bankers lose 3
in a heap. d. UP to this point 1t
is the least interesting of the three
leagues, but fifteen games ahead
for each team can make quite a
difference here too, rightly placed.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-27

Frankly the game is now out of
the coaches hands. Attempts to
setup scientific approaches to the
game are quashed. 1t depends
now on blazing speed and mini
mixes ball handling ability. :.
Though in most instances the team
that can't handle the ball will be
out. E. In my opinion there is no
juggling of the rules that can COM
pensate a small mans ability to
his taller competitor. That deal
is out. And games and adjust
ments aren't made in a season or
two. 1t took over so years to get
the game where it is. I think
minimum of change is desirable.
Give the coaches and players
chance to catch up with the game.
Let each of them attempt to
put as many boys in the game as
possible. Extend the minimum to
the maximum. I. {. Do kill the tend
encies toward fire engine ball.

We have talked about it with
some of the coaches here. The
center jump was tossed out prim-
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-27

Well, sir, the coaches are
pointing to some significant
problems. In the main they are
concerned with the speed of
the game: they are advocating
In large numbers the return Of
the center jump; they want Of
ficiating more standardized and
less left to the occasional judi
ment Of the referee.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-27

About this time of the year, after
the boys can look the season over,
the comments begin pouring in on
what is the matter with the game
Of basketball. We had two
pieces on important proceedings
not long ago in this column. One
on the fact that the new game is
faster. it places premium on height,
it has showed the game under the
basket, it has more or less put it
in the hands of the officials. :.
We had a piece on the Importance
of Standardization of officiating.
And through Gene Harvey we
pointed out the difficulties attend
ing that too. 1t was pointed
out that with twice as many games
now as in former years, and the
use of two instead of one official,
really high grade arbiters are a
rarity.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-27

Athletic director Gene Harvey,
who has done his share of reffing
about this area, has noted all these
things. . He raises an entertain
ing point. . . The rules that
brought about this faster game
were predicated on the fact that
coaches would use from eight to
ten men. But in a majority of
schools a coach can scarcely use
more than from five to eight. q.
Which is why the game is harder
on the individual. It hasn't work.

Cleanliness Of Seal p Is Basis
For Summer HeaIth> Beauty

I expect that this next statement
is news to you. 1t was news 10
me. But, tests have demonstrated
that the hair picks III, and retains
more dirt in an hour than the
rest of the body does in an entire
day.
SHAMPOO EACH WEEK
Many of us believe in daily baths,
OF course. We cannot wash our
hair each day, though. Nor 90 you
need to wash it each day. If youl
hsir is oily, you sho Id shampoo
once each week. If you have nor
NAL hair, you should shampoo
every two weeks. Before shampoo
ing, always brush your hair SO
that dry particles in the hair and
on the scalp can be icosened. Harsh
soaps with high alkaline conte mt
should be avoided, of course, as
Trey irritate the scalp and rob
the hair of it's natural coating of
Oil, making it dry and brittle Any
soap used for washing the hair
should be completely soluble in
water otherwise q dud film will be
left on the hair shaft and the hair
won't be properly cleaned" So, in
spite of Old Soils torrid rays dur
ing the summer months, you can
keep your hair and scalp cl IAN E.
and your hair lovely. just wash it
bit more often. Be sure to use a
mild soap which is completely SOL
uble in water. And be sure to give
your hair a thorough brushing be-
fore washing. Simple, isn't it?
ABOUT HAIR COLORING
Those of us who have streaked
hair, of course, want to give
special attention to its color during
the summer months, because we
will be partying about more often
without our hats. Consult your
cosmetologist for hair coloring in
formation, Or consult any reputable
druggist. A quality hair coloring
can give you uniformity in hair
color so that you need not feel
embarrassed or conspicuous when
you are hatless and out in the
public.
