me Field With BILL'S EVANS

VERY sport has certain phases ! K I of play t,iat are unpopular, l±rJ yet are regarded as more or less necessary to the scheme of the game. Without a doubt, the intentional pass is the most discussed and most hated play in baseball. The baseball

fans of the country have gone on record against it. I never have heard one defend it. The managers and most pitchers contend it is a strategic maneuver, a special privilege, that would take much from the game if barred. On the other hand the fans simply regard it as

a display of fear on the part of the pitcher, a preference to pitch to some other player whom he regards as a weaker batter. The point after touchdown is in the intentional pass class. MUCH DISCUSSED PLAY it is possible to get 5—4 I certain grid followers to apt _J prove the point after touchdown, while no baseball fan ever did as much for the intentional pass. Those who defend the point after touchdown, say that it is a play that keeps many a football game from ending in a tie and that drawn games are always unsatisfactory. Admitting that tie games are far from popular, still a game that is decided by the margin of one point, as the result of one team scoring a point after a touchdown while the- other fails, leaves a rather bad taste in the mouth. Southern California for instance was defeated by Stanford and Notre Dame by the score of 13-12 last fall, yet it would be difficult to convince any supporter of Southern California that either victorious team was even one point better. Minnesota fans are still talking about how lucky Michigan was to beat the Gophers 7-6 in their second clash. NOVEL SUGGESTIONS SHE other day I received a very j interesting communication j from a football enthusiast by J the name of F. Rolm, who may or j may not be a Minnesota alumnus, j Regardless of - his affiliations, Rolm ! knows football and offers a very in- 1 teresting reform. "In view of the disfavor in which the point after touchdown is held, I offer the following suggestion, which I believe will prove a better test of team strength. “My suggestion is: after a touchdown has been made, the ball shall be put in play on the 10-yard line, the same conditions to prevail under which the touchdown was made, namely, the team in possession of the ball to have four downs to make the required 10 yards, using any play except the drop or place kick.” DESERVES CONSIDERATION M~—' Y informant contends that such a rule would prevent a u__J team from inserting a clever kicker into the lineup for the sole j purpose of securing a drop or place kick. He argues that four downs would really give the stronger team a fairer chance'to demonstrate its superiority. Rolm coneludes by saying: “I sincerely believe Minnesota would have beaten Michigan in their j second game had such a ruling as ; I suggest been in effect.” v I agree with everything Rolm has written, except his contention as to ! the Michigan-Minnesota game. Ii pass that one. I have too many j friends who hail from the Ann Arbor institution. BIG FIVE VS. ST. LOUIS Local Negro Quintet to Meet .Missouri Team Friday.

STUTZ-CHAIN NET CLASH TONIGHT IS CITY LEAGUE FEATURE

Bounce Pass More Popular With Net Coaches Than Direct Toss Through the Air By H. G. Olsen, Ohio State Coach

Of’ - ’ ' j NE type of pass which is coming more and more into favor is the bounce pass; the caroming the ball off the floor to a teammate, instead of passing directly through the air to him. There are several fine features about this pass which make its use very worthwhile. fn the first place, since the fiveman defense has come into almost universal use, we have a more frequent recurrence of the situation of having an opponent between the passer and the man to whttm he wants to pass. This is because most teams send one or two men in behind the first line of a five-man defense, so as to have a man or two well up the floor heading up the offense. This brings the problem of getting the ball past' the men in the first line of defense and it is in accomplishing this that the bounce pass has come into almost universal favor, because it can be made accurately and with less chance of interception than any other type of pass.

If the pass Is made from a point ten or twelve feet in front of the guard to a teammate a similar distance beyond, and is made by merely pushing or chucking the ball to the floor without any unnecessary flourish or advertising, so that the ball strikes the floor on a line with the guard’s feet. It is practically impossible for the guard to stoop quickly enough to intercept the pass. I-Ie simply can't bend quickly enough unless he is an unusual player. The hardest sort of a pass to handle without fumbling is one that is traveling downward, as from shoulder height to knee height. The man receiving a bounce pass gets the ball on the way up and consequently can handle it easily and cleanly. Because of its ease in handling and its effectiveness in any situation where a pass is.lo be made pest an opponent who is between the passer and the receiver, the bounce pass is probably Costined to become more and more of a stock in trade pass as basketball develops.

Possession of Bail Plus Fine Teamwork Ideal Foundation

By Marty Friedman, Coach, Cleveland Professional Champions n NCE his men are in condition, the work of the coach turns to the fundamentals of the game. Teamwork is the foundation on which any successful basketball team is built. The Ideal combinatkqi is one that functions as a unit. Players should be trained to help each other as occasion demands. A strong defense, in my opinion, is more important than a strong

offense. Although each player functions as an individHal on defense, in that he take scare of his own opponent, he must be coached to help his teammates also. Many occasions arise in each game where a player finds it necessary, if he is to regain possession of the ball for his team, to guard some player other tlfan his own. Thus, he must be taught to shift, during emergencies, to the closest man who is “open.” Getting possession of the ball is half the game, for without the ball there could be no scoring and without scoring you never could hope to win. That is why I rate the defense above offense, for a good defensive team will have possession of the ball most of the time, and this in itself strengthens the offense. I coach the man-for-man style of defense, but give my players the freedom to act for themselves in emergencies. Speed should be the chief offensive weapon in ad-

vanclng the ball toward the goal. And there must be mental speed as well as physical speed. By mental speed 1 mean ability to "think ahead” of your opponents. I teach the use of short, snappy passes in working the ball toward the goal. I train my men to pass while moving and to pass to a player who also is moving. I try to have the player receiving the pass moving toward the passer. This lessens the chances for the opposition to intercept passes. The course of the ball generally should be in a zig-zag line toward the goal. I discourage long passes and shooting from long distances. Chances of losing the ball to your opponents are greater in both instances than if you v ork the ball under or near the basket by short, snappy passes. There are exceptions, of course, when long shots may be made. Long shots should be used chiefly to draw the defense from under its own goal. By mixing up the style of attack you can "loosen” the defense, and by Jhis method a tight defense may be pierced to the point of where an occasional shot from under the basket is possible. The remaining essential of a winning team is the will to win on the part of the players themselves.
