DEFENSE IN BASKETBALL
 BIG THING
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR

NEW YORK, Jan 3.-Many of the nations college basketball coaches this season are operatine under the old theory that a good cffanse is the hest defense, and Bruce Drake, University of Okla homa mentor believes the condition is direct result of the war.
 Its a natural aftermath of the war period said Drake today in commenting on the trend toward the attack which has found a large percentage Of teams trying simply to cutscore their opponents with less thought given to a planned de- fense.
 Tn the first placc," he said, the war made all of us more offensive minded. But more important near ly all coaches have welcomed back players who were offensive stars before they went off to war" Drake declared that the new rule which stops the clock on every whistle during the last four minutes of play has helped reduce stall ing" in the dosing moments and does not prolong the contest to a noticeable degree
 He said he could not agree with Jack Gardner, Kansas State coach, who claimed recently that it now takes eight minutes to play the last four minutes of every game.
 During the all-college tourna- ment in Oklahoma City. one of the timers clocked the last 4 min utes of each game under 10th the old and new rules,' Drake said. Tn 24 games, the longest elapsed time under the new system was only a minute and a half over the time it would have been last year, and the average was less than one minute"
 The rule was written into the bcoks to prevent such occurances as the parade of substitutions in the finals of the Eastern NCAA playoffs last year when New York University. trailing Ohio State by eight points with two minutes to play, tried desperately to stop the clock and gain time enough to tie the score.
 Drake. a member of the rules committee of the National Coaches Association, is continuing his cam paign of recent years to eliminate the advantage enjoyed by extra tall players under the basket

Survey Shows 81 1884, ,587, 600
Needed for Sanitation in U.S..

nine per cent Of needed sewerage
facilities, costing approximately
$3.50 500 900, is ready for construc-
ton now and an additional "a per
cent Is definitely planned. Almost
II per cent of the needed water sup
ply systems is ready for immediate
construction and plans are in prog
ress for an additional 27 per cent
But the investigators pointed Out
two thirds of the work that is ready
for construction and half of that in
the planning state are in cities o1
more than 100000 popula ton. On
the other hand, in towns of less than
l 200 persons, only about 10 per
cent of the needs will be met BY
projects now ready for construction
or in the planning stage.
The surveyors gave State-by-S State
estimates of the costs Of needed
water works, sewerage works, gar
bage and refuse disposal and rural
sanitation, including:
District of Columbia. $55, ,027. 900;
Maryland, $102 900; Virginia
$136, 6,487 900. The figures for Vir-

A minimum expenditure of ST.
S34.581 900 for improved water sup
plies and waste disposal facilities
a needed to protect the American
people from filth-borne diseases, the
United States Public Health Service
reported today.
Cost of the needed facilities was
determined in a Nation wide survey
made by the Health Services sani-
tary engineering division. The
study was described by Health Serv-
ice officials as the most complete
inventory of basic sanitary needs
ever compiled for the Nation"
The service said the $7,834, ,531 900
is "a minimum sum that should be
spent to reduce the incidence or
potential incidence of filth-borne
diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea
and typhoid fever" The survey
found that almost 40 per cent of
the needed construction of facilities
"is at least at the planning stage"
$500 Communities Are Studied.
Surg. Gen. Thomas Parran said:
"A sanitary environment for every
one is a basic requirement for a
national health program. BY fur
nishing data on the volume of con-
struction needs, the survey will guide
future action aimed at providing
Nation-w wide protection against
filth-borne diseases"
The survey, which consisted of a
study Of the sanitation facilities of
$4,000, 900 persons in $500 commu
mites, came up with these conclu-
sions:
/. The Nation needs $4,000 ,0O0, 900
In waterworks construction to serve
more shan 100000 persons in
towns and cities.
2. Sewerage facilities are needed
by 85,000,000 persons in communi-
ties of over 200 population at cost
of approximately $1,000, 100000.
3. Another $1,000 100000 in con-
struction is needed to provide de
cent sanitation for 100000 per-
sons living in rural homes with un-
satisfactory water supplies and for
100000 rural residents who lack
adequate waste disposal facilities. !"
The report also said that only 12,-
100000 persons in rural areas have
reasonably good water"

Semi-F inals Of Class A
Conference Set Tonight

Star Sports CORRESPONDENT

TABOR CITY, Nov. 6-At 6
p. m. Friday, a scrapping band o1
Red Devils from Tabor City High
school will meet the powerful
Henderson Blue Raiders in the
Eastern semi-finals of Class A
North Carolina football. The
contest will be reeled off in the
Henderson park, with the home
team being a slight favorite be-
cause of various reasons.
First, the Raiders are unbeat-
en- for the season; having won
seven of the eight battles in
which they have participated.
Among these are wins over Rocky
Mount and Goldsboro, both Glass
AA institutes. Their only slate
mar was a scoreless tie with a
strong Lexington High school
eleven.
They have proved themselves
the class of their conference,
clinching the title with a 25-2O
Victory over Roxboro on last Fri
jday night. Their mentor, Coach
Joe Caruso, former Elon College
luminary, is one of the outstand-
ing high school grid leaders in
North Carolina.
He has big, strong outfit, with
a weight average of ITS pounds
from the ends throughout the
backfield. They operate from
the bewildering "T' formation,
with no particular stars in the
aggregation.
However, Joe's kid brother,
Sill, is bringing fast, scrapping
eleven up from the lower
reaches of Columbus county that
does not mind one thing that is
said about the Vance teams

week in week out, played
against grid outfits that have out
weighed them from 10 to 20

gone on with great confidence
and team play to prove them
selves the best in District 2, Win
ming the diadem from Whiteville,

two weeks ago.
The Devils have won six
games, tied one, and lost one in
eight starts this year. They have
tailed 245 points as they allow
ed only Al. Although their star
tailback, Fred Soles, will be on
the sidelines with a broken arm;
The Devils will be led by their

Fullback Harold Ward; and
Andy "Gump" Jernigan, who
were the big guns in the title
