lost his appendix, Clair likes Kinney of Rice .., Nat Holman is a past master in
teaching the art of passing ... How N, Y. U, can take the ball off both boards!

Why do we say that a set-shot basket is a cheap basket? Is this nota
skillful play? The different methods of coaching defense and offense make this
game of basketball very interesting ... Williams, of Stanford, must be quite a
forward and Dandsus of the same team must be a great guard ... Joe Lovchich, of
St, John's, certainly loves his boys and they think a lot of him, Coach Kelleher
of Fordham did a great job in winning from Kansas ,,, His team looked swell with
great passing and shooting .. Illinois has a fine team and it should be right up
there in the BIG TEN, They are flawless in foul shooting with 18 straight, for
a new Garden record ... Ned Irish is a busy man at all games, vractices and cli-
nics, ready and willing to take csre of all problems and what a wonderful job
he does}! Pat Kennedy is a colorful official and very individual ...Speaking of
fine forwards, how about McCreery of Indiana? How about Menke of Indiena and
Kenney of St, Joseph's? University of Maine has the finest basketball arens in
all New England ... Coaches of college teams who have sons on their own teams are
Chandler of Marquette; Phog Allen, of Kansas; of Wooster; and Keaney
of Rhode Island ,, Chandler calls it a headache...

Two coaches want to know why the long pass is not used more in basket-
ball, Answer: it is the one of the most difficult passes to make, It is throm
wild too often and is easy to intercept,

The best defensive team seen by us in years was Stanford, under John
Bunn ... Oklahoma A, & M, had a fine defensive team this year ... Angelo Iwiset-
ti's No, 7 jersey shall never be issued again, We all are glad to notice that
George Keogan is back with his team .,. One "Hoosier Hawk" says that any coach
would have heart failure without a first class center, no replacements at guard
who can control the backboards,

BASKETBALL STAR SAVES TWO FROM DROWNING

William Harrison, a forward on the basketball tesm of Villa Grove, I11.,
high school, isn't the team's most brilliant player,

He doesn't have the flair for high scoring honors, He's just the vlodd-
ing type, the never-say-die kind who sticks with the ship even when the water
is over the deck, In short, he's an athlete with plenty of heart,

His team was ready to play Bement, ina conference game, and William
was hurrying home for a light supper when he saw two little fellows on the
railroad reservoir ice, One broke through and the other tried to save him,
William hurried to the spot and threw one lad on the short and plunged in for
the one who was sinking, The water was very deep and William's clothes were
heavy. But he got the drowning boy out and after warming up at home went on
to help his team beat Bement, The little fellows, not William, reported the
near-tragedy,
