Hallmark of O. Champion

Even the greatest college basketball team in the
games history-and we're speaking OF fabulous ONO
State - can look ragged when it commits numerous
ballhandling errors. The Bucks showed this in last
weeks Northwestern game when they threw" the
bali away a dozen times in the first half.
Those dozen turnovers meant at least that many
less chances of scoring a basket. And If you con-
slider the Bucks were making t~wothirds (65 percent) of
their shots in the first half, it meant a difference of
eight baskets or 10 points. Thus, it isn't so surprising
that OSU led only 1890 at the half against an admitted
ly $3.50 team.
This brings up question: how many ways can a
cage team lose the ball commit a turnover before
having a chance to score a basket or free throw?
AT LEAST Is SAYS BOB CALLAHAN, head cage
coach at the University of Detroit for Il years. Calihan,
who was an AllAmerican forward at Detroit in 1910
and played pro basketball for six years, lists these
turnover possibilities:
1-Offensive foul; 2-Tlegal dribble; 3-Too
much time in the three-second zone; 4Steps or travel
ing with the ball; stepping out of bounds with the
ball; 6-Stepping over the out of bounds line while
putting the ball into play; bad pass; 8-Fumble.
Uninterrupted pass; 10-Stolen ball; 11-Failure
to pass the ball in from out of bounds within five
seconds; 12-Tied-up Gump) ball; 13-Failure to bring
the ball over l0-second line within the allotted time; IA
Lack of sufficient action (stallingG 15-Technical foul;
and focusing the ball to 60 back over the 10
second line.
YOU CAN p this list to 80 ways" Cali
han added, eff you break down the number of ways
you can make an illegal dribble, commit an offensive
foul or commit a technical foul.
"This list, noted Calihan, "only serves to point
out the Importance of fundamentals, their mastery
and execution. A team that seldoms gives up the ball
before getting its shot keeps the pressure on the
other team"
Of course, a faSt-moving team like Ohio State
Is apt to make quite a few turnovers. But when the
Bucks control their errors while playing theft fast
brand Of ball, they look like champions-as they did in
that second half against Northwestern when they ripp-
ed the cords for so points. And 33 of those points were
scored in the first 10-minutes-before the entire
starting team was called to the bench for the night.
AS CALLAHAN REMARKED, a team that controls
It's turnovers keeps Its poise. And he added, "poise is
one hallmark of a champion"

The Gel
Champions
By LOU FABRO
Times Sports Editor

Coach Jack Ryan was his usual modest self after
his st. Charles cage team captured the Central Catho-
lie League championship with a 81 record.
Commenting that we've come a long way" Ryan
added 'the kids worked hard and deserve a lot of
credit"
ALSO DESERVING "a lot of credit" is Jack Ryan,
who is in his oath year at st. Charles. AT the beginning
of the season, his team looked like anything but a
championship squad. Even a causal observer could
see the Cardinals lacked what it took to win.
The Cards lost their montague opener and
scored 33 points. They managed only IS points in
their opening league game, but won it. This was fol-
lowed by a 49-44 loss to Aqunas. That left the Cardi-
nails with a IL record and prospects of a poor season
st. Charles, however, began moving by winning six
in a row. The team now boasts a 1874 record with one
game remaining.
What had happened is that the team showed
steady Improvement in shooting and especially in play
making as the season progressed. Good execution of
plays, a result of Ryan's coaching, enabled the players
to get better shots.
SUMMING 1T UP, it was easy to see that it was
Ryan's clever coaching skill which had converted a
group of lead-footed players into a methodical, we'll
organized unit which displayed fine teamwork.
The Gel championship was the third won by St.
Charles. The Cardinals won the title in 1851, the
leagues first year of operation and shared it with
Newark Catholic in 1858. Incidentally, this is the first
time in five years that Newark Catholic isn't in the
championship circle.
