The Panthers met their first defeat last week, at the hands of Syracuse. Incidentally, eastern critics say it is no shame to lose to Syracuse, since this quintet lias humbled some of the seaboard s best, including Penn. Hyatt may find the going pretty tough when he runs up against Donovan and Captain Ed Smith of Notre Dame on their home court.

In the Buckeye state, so we hear, officials see very little difference between traveling and pivoting. u am TWO questions are bothering serious-minded basketball fans. Uppermost is the problem of selecting the leading contender for the state championship. The other is an old worry, one that has caused many headaches and long arguments, namely, “stalling”: in polite circles called “delayed offense.” a * a Week by week selection of an outrtanding quintet become* more difficult. One night a team look* like a world beater, and the next game become* a aetup for an averare opponent. tt tt BOTH indirectly and directly, the blame for the existing condi - | tions may be placed on the present ! method of selecting a state champion, namely the elimination process, in which season results go for naught, and all effort Is directed toward the final tourneys. Understand, Backboard is not opposing this system. In fact, It has proved more than satisfactory and undoubtedly will be retained. tt a a Prominent coaches long ago realized that there must be an evolution In the style of play.
