Morris Wins

Morris high school, unleashing a
fury of rangy sophomores last Fri
day, closed Sank Centres schedule
book for the season with one of
the worst defeats in local history

Only Glenwood's Ga to % win

Morris bill as a worst defeat and
1t seemed that Morris was possess

Glenwood point pileup. Even the
second string, with the complete
collapse Of Sank Centres club in
the fourth quarter, continued to
run up this amazing point total.
Morris fast break and admirable
use Of height at its command told
the story. A young forward by

12-game season on the high note

This Harold Rasmussen coached
club will probably rank as the
greatest ball club this town has
seen. That statement is predicat-
ed on the fact that it played in up
town competition against admirab-
ly coached and manned teams.
Leading this scoring advance
was Stan Nelson, center, whose
uncanny shooting ability rack

son-almOst half of the teams
total-and averaged 20.25 points
per game.
This game with Brainerd, won

sation while Leon ran to tend cars
and Archie kept on hopping. The
while Dolson and your scribbler

is certain basketball today is a
heavier scoring game than ever,
and it requires more psychology
than probably any other sport.

the rest is up to them. It re-
quires strong legs, a fairly good
eye for the bucket, and a head on

Development Of new shots
that a few years ago a boy
would be shot at sunrise for
by the coach has opened up
something else again. Several
of these shots, one handed shots
going up in the air, are rarely
stopped. -. You let him shoot
and chance he'll miss 1t, try to
get In on the rebound, and set
your own offensive in motion.
Most defense occurs out
on the court in an attempt to
break up the passing game and
under the bucket in an attempt
to gain possession of the ball.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-06

Restriction of the offensive to a
half of the court first Of all liter
ally tossed out the stalling game.
1t became unnecessary and in most
instances more an offensive than a
defensive weapon in that now its
use is employed to deploy the de-
fensive for a quick break back to
the offensive game. There Is
fine line Of difference between
offensive and defensive tactics to-
day. e. What it did too was shove
the game under the basket, and
believe me that's where they are
won today. This punching Of men
under the buckets opened up the
fouling avenue with the result that
refs say a larger percentage of
fouls are committed there than any
where else. It has put q prem
ium on height for the team with
it can handle its shots several
times if necessary. That condition
too tossed out the usefulness of
the stationary guard or goal tend
er. For now he moved up to
handle the ball with his teammates.

Good defensives went out when
the stationary Of standing guard
grew legs same as the other boys
That stationary guard was
quite a position usually relegated
to some hulking boy If possible for
1t was his dish to smash up at
tempted fast offensives to the bas-
ket. Often he was beset with
two and three men at a time who
bore down with the fury Of the
north wind. It was a good goal
tender who could break it up. or
course in those days besides break
ing 1t up he could also break the
other fellows neck for which the
culprit was awarded a foul, and the
sinned against one free shot. &.
This one free shot business didn't
last long.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-06

Several important changes
have accounted for the sys-
tematic change in the whole
game. One is the restriction
Of the offensive thrust to half
the court; another the use of
five men on offensive and de-
fensive and the demise of the
standing guard; another Is the
two shot foul rule more lately
applied even to a players in
tent; giving the referees almost
unlimited control with the OPP
ton of expulsion Of any player
who doesn't play the game with
gusto and rare sportsmanship.
However, in many pre-
cincts riffs tell us, that Is theOr-
etical rather than a practicable
option. -.

Dolson said ne remembers when
he first started to play. 1t was
in Superior and the baskets were
tackled onto the wall itself, and
there was no out-of-bounds and the
players sat literally on the court.
If the ball went out into the
bleachers players would scramble
for It over innocent bystanders
that certainly mixed the fans up
well with the game. Once having
the ball player looked for a team
mate out on the court to put the
ball in play. It was customary
too to decide before hand about
mo wall climbing" Since the bas-
kets were tackled against the wall,
it was comparatively simple for a
lad to get up a good head Of steam
and cavort to the end of the floor,
grip his grippers on the wall and
ride UP as far as he could, letting
the ball go for the basket at the
height of his jump. A tall man
could do wonders on shooting per-
centage with this effort. :.

It was down at Archie Faul-
haber's gashouse. Leon Nc
Cracker and Lawrence DOlsOn
were holding forth with yours
truly, the while Archie was
hopping the floor. Need 1t
be said there was q lot of stuff
Arcrie didn't get with the mop.
Main conclusions drawn
were that the new game of bas-
ketbaIl as the boys play 1t now
Is fast and furious. Which
event usually leaves one In the
hand Of each competing team.
-. One Is fast; the other is
furious. That the game has
been taken away from the boys
to a large degree and given
over to the officials; that the
game Is largely offensive. :.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-06

Just when these changes
took place no one can put his
finger on. 1t was a subtle, grad
ual movement, less technical
than natural, and It moved I'm
on the system In one great en-
velOping stride. It was In
those days, too, that the team
played on the whole court. No
punching In half the floor and
stalling was a technical aspect
Of q good team that could run
UP points.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-03-06

That pits five men against an
equal number whereas before
the four man offensive was go
ing tough against a five man
defense. Result of the
change Is higher scoring than
ever. II you'll look at high
school scores this season you'll
find scores that will do credit
to college teams who play one
more full quarter Of time. :.
