BOUNDS AND REBOUNDS
FROM THE COURT

By Arthur Sampson - Boston Herald - Boston, Mass.

In recent years there has been a tendency among basket-
ball coaches to favor tall candidates when selecting their
teams. The bisr;er oneratives have been given preference when
other qualifications have been anywhere near equal. The little
fellows on the squad have been forced to display marked sup-
eriority over bigger contenders for positions on the team
before they would get much consideration. ~

It has always seemed to us tat this tendency to stress
the advantege of height is carried too far. It is true that
the nature of the same is such that a tall operative has
certain advantaves over a short player. Theoretically, at least,
he should be more effective around the basket, for example,
where his height can be an asset in grabbing rebounds. But,
as a rule, these tall operatives haven't the speed, niftiness,
belance or stamina of the smaller players. Stressing height
has secmed to affect the caliber of play, for the fundamentals
of the game are speed, deception, cleverness, precision and
stamina.

Steady followers of basket »all often have witnessed an ind-
ividual player becoming confused and shooting for the "wrong"

It happened thus: Covinston took the ball out-of-bounds

positions at one end of the floor and the Covinzton cagers,
supposing their opponents knew their business, Devan to pass
the ball toward that basket, The goal happened to be the
wrong one for Covinzton.

For several second the to teams battled furiously un-
checked by the referee. Covinzton 4as attempting to score
points for Piqua and Pigua vas attempting to prevent the
scoring. (Cont'd.)
