Johnny Green Led
Spurfons To Big
Ten Cage TifIe

East Lansing, Mich. CAMP -
When Johnny Green joined the
Spartans of Michigan State in
last January, the team was a fal-
tering outfit in the Big Ten bas-
ketball race.
But his presence made a big
difference. With the lean Green
controlling the backboards, the
Spartans did an about-face, won
the Big Ten title and then went
all the way to the National Col
legiate Athletic Association semi.
finals. They were eliminated by
North Carolina, eventual champ
ions.
This season, Green is one OF the
key performers again for MSU
which rated preseason favoritc
role for the conference title. Green
t6-5) has gained through his last
seasons experience. developing
more poise in his shooting and
ball-handling. His outside shoot
ing, for example. has improved and
he moves with greater confidence
under the boards.
There was never any question
about his rebounding ability and
his defensive skill. He can out
jump men several inches taller and
set a rebound record (262) for the
Spartans, despite his belated var
sity debut last season.
He was fourth in his teams
scoring 1888 points for an average
of 1872 per game)
Because Of his long reach and
ability to move quickly. he is a
hawk on defense. He came up with
superb job in the NCAA semi
finals against North Cardinals
big Lon Rosenbluth. The All-Amer-
lean Tar Heel was forced TO shoot
quickly and from the outside and
this factor was the big reason
why North Carolina needed three
overtimes TO come from behind and
vanquish the spartans.
Green did not play high school
basketball, but became interested
in the game while serving with the
Marine Corps in the Far East
during the Korean War. He started
playing pickup games while
stationed at Atsugi Air Base.
In the Is54-55 season. he played
on team that otherwise composed
entirely Of former college stars
from the States. II won the An
Central command championship
with a 19-to-1 record and then the
All-Navy Far East title in a
tourney. Green was one Of team
top scorers as a forward.
For a player who tasted only a
half-season Of varsity action last
year, Green came in for his share
Of post-season honors. He was
named to the an-star team Of the
NCAA finals at Kansas City and
was placed on the third team All
American selected by the Associ-
ated Press He also made the As
ISOLATED Press's first team in the
Big Ten selections
A physical education major.
Green's ambition Is 70 coach. He
is married and the father Of twin
sons, born last Easter.

CORRECT ANGLE IMPORTANT
WHO BOWERS Mammal


After a bowler has mastered a
particular release Of the ball and
can depend on its direction, she
must then determine the angle at
which the ball must be rolled on
various alleys. She must likewise
determine the particular spot be-
yond or at the foul line where
the ball is to be placed when re-
leasing it.
This angle and this spot can only
be determined after several balls
have been rolled on the alleys in
use at the time If the bowler
stumbles, sticks or loses her bal
ance, the delivery is not natural
and the results cannot be consid-
cred or a true test Of the alley.
Only when deliveries are made
correctly and the ball either mis-
ses or hits the pocket can the
bowler appraise the alley accurate
ly. II after the bail is rolled cor
rectly, starting from a particular
spot at the correct angle and with
natural speed it enters the pocket
and carries the pins, it is logical
to repeat the stand, the approach,
the delivery, the speed and the
angle, to obtain a number Of
strikes.
Master The Fundamentals
In bowling as in other sports,
perfection of performance is OBJ
tanned when the fundamentals are
executed over and over again with
the movements the same each time
or though they were grooved The
objective Of the beginner should
be to accomplish perfect rhythmi-
cal movement of the arms and
legs, the ability to place the ball
where il is intended each time and
with such a degree Of accuracy
that she finally does so mechani-
cally. With mastery developed to
this point, the beginner will find
that her performance is comforta-
Bile, natural, enjoyable and success
full.

New Safety Lows
For Small Boats
UD to President
By the Associated Press

Establishment of new small
boat safety regulations is up
to President Eisenhower.
Legislation to require owners
Of small boatS--with more than
10 horsepower-to register their
craft has been passed by Con-
gresS and is awaiting the Presi-
dents approval.
Pushed through Congress as
q safety measure, the legisla-
ton would set up new safety
regulations tied to the registra-
ton system. The registration
provisions call for registering
the boats either with State
agencies or the Coast Guard. A
model State law aimed at uni
form regulations is scheduled to
go to legislatures in IS States
next year.
Final congressional action
came when the House accepted
q Senate amendment to pro-
vide that legislation would not
apply to boats using motors OF
10 horsepower or less. The
House had proposed to exempt
from the registration-safety
provisions boats using 71a
horsepower or less.

NOTES
on
BOATS

Boat trailers have made a lot
Of progress in recent years,
Air-cushion springs, hydraulic
and electric winches, adjust
able rollers and cradles are just
a few Of the many advances
offered.
But the best trailer in the
world is, wasted If it doesn't
fit the boat-if the trailer is
either too small or too big for
the load it is carrying. While
| it is true that most trailers
have adjustable parts which
enable a certain amount OF
fitting, no one trailer is made
to fit every style and shape OF
boat.
The owner Of a new boat
naturally wants the best trailer
he can get at q reasonable price
But he's faced with the prob
lem of which one to buy. II
he buys the boat and trailer
separately, how can he be sure
it will be a good match?

If the boat-new or used
is a standard stock model, it's
a simple matter to get figures
on its weight, length and other
dimensions. The next step Is
to find the right trailer for that
boat. This can be done BY
taking the advice of the manu-
facturer as to which make anc
style of trailer is best for his
product. Then write to the
trailer people for the location
of the dealer nearest you.
But, if the boat is not 9

to do some measuring anc
