But we notice that he continues to hang around a great deal. And he probably will so long as the public is dull enough to put up real American money for his books. In Kansas City there is a woman who is 108 years old and and still spends her time putting patches on men’s garments. We doubt whether the average woman will regard this as sufficient inspiration for growing old. It is said that stocks are worth ten times what they really earn and if we could rate individuals the same way we would know a lot of men who would feel pretty cheap. ?

It is said that the greatest of the ancient Egyptian pyramids could be built nowadays in four or five years. But how long would it last? For generations, England and Russia have been bitter rivals over China. Now Russia is moving an army into China and dev ing about as she pleases.

6MHBALL Sy Coach CverettS. Dean Indiana University Fundamentals The backbone of good offensive and defensive basketball is fundamental training. Fundamentals consist of the correct execution of all passes, shots, pivots, turns and stops. Under fundamentals we also include individual defensive technique and clever offensive tactics. The coach cannot rightfully expect good exe- * MW. J BJ J < ■ft

cution of plays until the funda- ( mentals have been mastered. ( Most of the training in fundal mentals should come during the J first half of the year, but through out the year considerable time , should be spent on them. A detailed description of the execution of the fundamentals I will not be attempted, but rather . a proper use of them. Passing: Os the fundamentals, one of the most important is passing. Scoring opportunities are lessened without good passing. Inas--1 much as one bad pass begets another, coaches strive for accuracy in this particular phase of the game. In the average game between 175 and 275 passes are made, and if these passes are badly made, the chances of scoring are small. If the shootingability of the team is poor, it is particularly important that the team be good at passing in order to work the ball in for better shots. • It is impirtant that the basketball team drill only on the kind of passes that it will use most in its offense. Most teams have what is known as the team - \ * MliatsW pass, and it is this one which is the most frequently used. The team pass is determined by the style of play used. Form in the start and finish of the bounce pass is demonstrated in the above pictures. In the first picture notice the alert versatile position from which the player can shoot, bounce pass, push pass or pivot without telegraphing his intentions to the defense. The bounce pass is generally used to get the pass through the front line defense, and to a team mate behind a defensive man any place on the court. The proper execution of this play requires that the passer use good eye feint so as to prevent the guard from anticipating the play. There should be a complete follow through of : the arms and body, as shown in ' the second picture. In any style ; of offensive play the bounce ' pass can be used effectively. The most suitable use for the ; underhand pass is in the short ; pass crisscross type of offense. - which necessitates a crouched po- ! sition of the body. The merits ; of this pass are that it is short ; and accurate, free from intercep- « tion, and possess on of the ball ; for a longer period of time is as- ; sured. The ball is aimed waist • high and should carry on a level 1 not more than twenty feet in ’ length. j Hook passes are most effective < in the corners, and therefore i

have a place in any team’s offense. The difficulty of mastering the hook pass is repaid by its value. Because it is quick and hard to guard, the push pass is one of me most versatile. m the first picture we- see a demonstration of good form for this pass as veil as the bounce pass. Many teams adopt this as their team pass. A number of other type of passes are used in special plays. The coach should spend much time on these passes if the plays are to work smoothly.
