Fast Break Is Advantageous ~ For Tall Men
Delayed Offense Is Much More Deceptive Style, | Writer Believes. |
BY HOWARD CANN Wead Coach, New York University NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—(NEA)— Basketball, the toughest taskmaster | in sports, is a game of systems, even | as football. | While you haven't heard much | | about the systems, probably because Ino great coaches’ names are’ attached to them, such as Rockne and | Warner in football, they are evi- | dent, nevertheless, and are three in | number. Each is separate and individual. | There are the fast break, set plays, land delayed attack. . | The fast break consists of getting { the ball down the court into scoring | territory before the defense can get set. Tt is an accepted fact among cage men that players are slower in | changing from offense to defense | than vice versa. | Therefore, when a team obtains | the ball on defense and immediately | breaks men to the other basket, it | can capitalize on this characteristic | slowness. Sometimes the advantage | of this system is just a step, but that |is ample for the shooter. Possession for the fast break is | gained sometimes on interceptions land bad passes, but mainly it starts | from a rebound. Hence you'll find | fast break teams favoring the tallest {men available, because consistency | in retrieving shots off the backboard |is essential. | Set plays are maneuvers in which | men are placed in certain positions. | By contact with defense, they make |it impossible for opponents to play [their men, and consequently prevent the defense from stopping the | threat.
Delayed Offense Deceptive
This naturally is “picking off” and risky business in view of the divergence of opinions among offi- | cials of various sections on what | constitutes a block, which is a foul. Tn some areas you can work pick[offs all night without being called. In others, whistle-tooting will continually stop such tactics. This divergence of views regarding fouls is one of the big drawbacks to the game. The delayed offense 1s the direct opposite of the fast break. Instead of attempting to grab that extra step, the delayed attack seeks to work men free through deliberate deception. The ball is moved downcourt slowly and is shuttled back and forth. Three men are sent all the way down, one to work near the basket and two in the corners. Manipulation of the ball goes on, [with men cutting in and out, until | some one is in good position to bye (a pass. He immediately is fed the | ball. Skilled, cool-nerved ball han{dlers are essential in the delayed | attack. These three types of attack make | basketbal the fast game that it is. | For a so-called non-contact contest, | basketball is the most wearing sport | you can come across. The rapid pace lat which it moves and the quick changes from offense to defense put a burden on the player which is both mental and physical. The fast shifting probably is the nub of the whole thing. In track, vour action is continuous in one direction. In football, most of the time you also are moving one way land have time to plot a defense or an offense.
Holidays Handicap Training
Tn basketball the action constantly is shifting. A player has to be a champion sprinter for five or ten yards. He must stop sharper than a New York cab driver, and then pivot or reverse without a break in
| |
|
This makes basketball unique among sports. These darting, twisting maneuvers bring into play a set of muscles that are developed | in no other game. These muscles | are developed only by drills, and repetition becomes a habit after a while, and a player can do things automatically. The cage game demands razor- | edge condition, and it's a tough | problem to keep the boys in shape | with the season being broken up by Christmas holidays and midyear cxams. We often have to revert to fundamentals after each holiday to recondition the players. Outdoor sports generally are staged on standardized fields. But basketball, until recently, was a dif- | ferent game wherever vou played. Some courts were too narrow, oth- | ers too wide, too dark, ill-ventilated, {or too low. But colleges are fast adopting a standardized court, which | will go & long way toward popular- | izing the game more. | Basketball is the ideal game for teamwork, because there is no scoring play which does not owe its | Success to something that has been | done by some one other than the | scorer, *

Youth Posts Record Score In Tenpin Play
Wischmeyer of Mutual Milk Circuit Rolls 765 Series; Packards Go Big.
BY BERNARD HARMON
Bowlers in action with the various leagues of the city last night, today looked back on their scoring accomplishments with pride, for during the attacks on the elusive maple, a season's city record and several new league marks were established. The vouthful Bill Wischmeyer of the Mutual Milk League, posted the new season record for individuals, a 765, topping Paul Field's former mark of 755, rolled in the Pritchett Recreation League several week ago. Two members of the Uptown Recreation League, passed that loop's | former high individual mark and | the Packard Motors posted the eve- | ning’'s top team total, getting a 3077 | in the Indianapolis League. Wischmeyer, who has been tossing the mineralite in league competition for three years, hung up the 765 series when he shook the pins for games of 254, 266 and 245 in the Milk League's session at the Foun=tain Square Alleys. It was the sec‘ond 700 series of Wischmeyer's short bowling career, his first being rolled in the Reformed Church loop two years ago. Wischmeyer carries an average of 182 in the Milk Co. circuit. With the big series as its backbone the Wholesome quintet had no difficulty in turning in a triple victory over the Energy five. Other contests of the session resulted in double wins for the Health, Quality and Pure teams over Fresh, Nutritious and Service. Sachs Near 700 Art Sachs, in his Uptown Recreation appearance, missed the 700 mark by four pins in taking runnerup honors of the evening. His 606, garnered through games of 226, 213 and 257, was the top individual series of the season in the North Side loop. Close on his heels was Bill Bowen, who tossed his season's best, a 692, from games of 213, 224 and 255. Adam Schoen with 654, Bob Kelley with 632, Al Berberich with 625 and Hetzler with 602 were
Sachs’ and Bowen's huge totals lag their respective teams to triple victories, the former's Ko-We-Ba Coffee blanking Coca Cola, as Bowen's L. Strauss & Co. quintet shut cut Beck Coal and Coke. The Schoen Bros. and Puritan Bed Springs also turned in shutouts, their victims being Hoosier Pete and Bader Coffee. Klee & Coleman took an odd-game decision from Federal Tires in the remaining match. The Packard's top team series resulted from games of 1003, 1006 and 1068, and won them a shutout victory over Marmon - Herrington. Three Packard members passed the 600 mark in the series, Chuck Markey having 654 Walt Heckman 629 and John Blue 626. Arch Heiss with | 618 and Bud Schoch with 608 were best for the losers. Argus Top Scorer Bud Argus topped the soloists of the loop with a 682 from games of 202, 223 and 257, while in action with the L. S. Ayres & Co. team, which nabbed two tilts from Coca Cola. The leading Barbasols, minus their flashy captain, Jess Pritchett Sr., who is on the sidelines with an ailing knee, dropped two games to Hudepohl Beer, John Fehr of the losers being the only individual to pass 600. He had a 651. The triple tie for second place in the team standings was broken up as Marott Shoes shut out Indianapolis Power and Light Co. to become sole occupants of the runnerup position. Bowes Seal Fast through a double victory over Falls City HiBru, trails the Shoemen by one game, while the Hi-Brus have been shoved into fourth place. Harry Wheeler with 653 and Carl Mindach with 600 starred for the Marotts, Dan Abbott with 638 and Ed Strie(Turn to Page 34)
