"Z") sre approximately equal distance from basket since they are on the diagonal. This converging lane would tend to equalize opportunities on free throws, despite height advantages. Opponents of tall players would play the ball, rather than the man, as their chances of securing the ball would be greatly increased, Today, in many cases, the tall man is getting his points because he has unequal advantage in position and height, and not because he is a good player. He will still get most of the rebounds on his side but he will have to earn his points through basketball ability rather than heisht advantage, This converging lane would also tend to place a premium on good play by forcing tall men on offense to station themselves further from the basket for the high pass and lay-in shot, by Mel Collard Boston University "AN APPRECIATION OF PAUL D. (TONY) HINKLE" To few men is given the ability and personality to be a leader of youth, Such a leader must combine tact, humility, patience, morality and wisdom with boundless energy and the deep respect of his fellows, For twenty years as assistant, head coach and athletic director of Butler University, Paul D, Hinkle has demonstrated in generous measure that he possess- es these qualities, The test of his leadershiv has not been the players on the team alone, but the men they have become in later life, The influence of Paul D, Hinkle has gone far beyond the vlayers he has trained and the campus he serves, All citizens of Indianapolis and Indiana rec- ognize him not only as a coach of outstanding ability, but, more important, as a champion of clean sports and clean living, As Paul D, Hinkle observes his twentieth year in our midst, the Indiana- polis Junior Chamber of Commerce, in behalf of the youth of our city and state, is proud publicly to record its esteem and admiration for this leader of youth for all that he has meant and is meaning to the youne men and women of today who will be the leaders of tomorrow, Signed INDIANAPOLIS JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Berkley W, Duck, Jr., President Lymen Hunter, Secretary eek ee ek eR m Mr. J. E, Dowling, President of the Adirondack District Board of Officials in an attempt to stabilize and standardize officiating, called several meetings of officials and coaches, Troublesome rules and interpretations were discussed at length, These meetings are to be continued since those in attendance believe them to be extremely beneficial, On Sunday, February 16, several coaches, and officials will be interviewed on the radio (Station WIRY, Troy) relative to rules and play in an attempt to acquaint the public. Dr. Phog Allen says, "Why should we want a perfect ball, therefore, why use the so called rubber ball?" He admits then the so called rubber ball is per- fect. Why do we want a perfect ball? Simply, because perfection is the goal of all human endeavor. Why does Dr, Allen have his team practice fundamentals and playing technique? Can it be for perfection? If so, then why try for perfection in play and neglect the ball? Or does Dr, Allen have some other reason? Unresigned Ww. ¥.

Page 4 - = TRANSITION TO THE NEW TYPE BACKBOARD By H. V. Porter, Secretary National Basketball Committee When the National Basketball Committee lesalized the new fan shaped back- board last spring, there was much speculation as to how the action would be received, Developments during the current season should be gratifying to those who were advocates of the new board, The transition has been more rapid than even its more ardent supporters had any right to expect. It has been more rapid in some sections of the country than in others, This is to be expected, Prob- ably the greatest number of the new tyve boards have been installed in the cen- tral states although there is a healthy sprinkling of them on the Pacific Coast and in the Atlantic states, Not so many have been reported in the southern st- ates, The transition has been especially rapid among the high schools, This is partly because there have been so many new high school gymnasiums erected dur- ing the last year or two and nearly all of the schoolmen who are getting new buildings anticipated the possible change and installed the new type backboard or arranged with the contractor to make the transition if and when the new ones should be legalized, The action of last spring found these schools in an excel lent position to take advantage of the smaller type board. Another reason why the transition has been rapid in high schools is that they have been experimen- ting during the last several years to determine the waste space on the larger board and to find the advantages which are present when this waste space is eli- minated, The states of Kansas, Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois have announced that the new type backboards will be used in all state sponsored tournaments -- wherever the local manager finds it convenient to install them, In Wyoming, Kansas and Illinois, announcement has already been made that all final tourna- ments will be played on courts equipped with the new backboard, It is signifi- cant that in the case of Illinois, the tournament committee decided in Septem- ber that the state finals would be played with the old tyne board but between September and December the transition to the new type among the one thousand mémber high schools was so rapid that the state committee rescinded its former action and announced that the new type board would be used in the finals, The reports indicate that the new boards are very popular with players, coaches and spectators, They improve the appearance of the court and statis~ tics show that there is a great tendency for players to make greater use of the area behind the plane of the backboard, Plays tend to come in from all direc- tions, Actual charts have been made to indicate the number of times a try for goal or pass from or to the end area are such that the larger board would have been an actual or mental hazard, “nough of these figures have been collected to indicate that many of the claimed advantages are actually present and teams are learning to profit by the greater freedom of movement which is permitted, when the lower and outside edges of the old board are not present, There is every reason to believe that this is one of the most popular changes that has been made for a number of years, It is safe to preduct that apvroximately half of the courts will be equipved with the new type board before the end of next season, NET TEAM BLANKED,--Minneapolis, January 31 (AP)--Mt, Olivet Lutheran's basketball team lost the game last night but set a record around these parts— by apt h ine to score a point, Knox Presbyterian won, 58-0, Page 5 December 4, 1940 FINAL REPORT OF N.C.A.A, BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT 1940 The Eastern play-off was held at the Butler Field House, Indianapolis, Ind. : on March 22 and 23; the Western play-off at the Municipal Auditorium at Kansas ’ City, Mo., March 22 and 23, and the final game was played at Kansas City on March | 30, The following summary gives the picture of the Tournament: Western play-off and final game, Kansas City Receipts $23,069.55 Expenditures 13, 479,49 Net $9, 590,06 Eastern play-off, Butler Field House _ Receipts $6,405.75 Federal Tax on Comps from Indiana Univ, 19,00 $6,424.75 Expenditures. 5 224,44 Net 1,200.31 Total Net Receipts $10,790.37 General Administrative Expense - for trophies, telegrams, postage, printing, travel, stenographic, etc, 1,267.82 Net profit on N.C.A,A, Basketball Tournament $9,522.55 Submitted by Chairman, N.C.A.A, Basketball Tournament Committee Approved by Chairman of the Rules Committee FINANCIAL REPORT Eastern Division - N.C.A.A.

Basket Dead Center (continued from page 7 ) As the crowd filed out, mselling salts brought Hanson around, Dazed and weak, he asked: "Who won?" "We did," blurted a player. "Eddie got a basket with nine seconds left," It was too much, Hanson fainted again, scoring « "double," something of a record even for a basketball coach, A high school player in a country town in Texas hadn't scored a point all season, His older brother, trying to give him an incentive said, "I'll milk the cows one day for each point you score in the next game." The cager accepted the challenge and went on an eight-point scoring splurge the next day. NEW RECORD. Philippi, W.

Our No. 1 Basketball Scout Checks In, He is Morie Morrison, In football Morie surrenders No. 1 position to Chief Scout I. R, McVay, but in basketball he is the top man, Here's his report on the Stanford-Santa Clara game, which the Indians won, 34 to 32, "This was an excellent exemple of what good coaches can do with good mater- ial, Two theories were presented, "Senta Clara's idea was that ball control is game control, The Broncos be- lieve that the longer they keep the ball the more chances they'll have to score, and the fewer chances the other team will have. Such a game requires the best grounding in fundamentals of passing and pivoting, and NOT fumbling, The Broncos have that grounding. "™e Broncos broke down court slowly; passed the ball in back court while forwards serpentined in and out to set up scoring chances, The system worked well early in the game, winning an easy lead, but the Broncos couldn't hold it. So they abandoned the plan, because they couldn't afford to wait for scoring chances. Nevertheless, ball control and setting up of sure shots are typical of Santa Clara. Evidence lies in the 64 shots they had at the bucket, against Stanford's 44, "Stanford's theory is one of quick breaks and scoring shots before defense has a chance to organize. In Burness and Cowden Stanford has two of the Coast's best in retrieving the ball off the backboard, In Williams, Anderson and David- son, the Indians have three as fast as any going down court, They depend on split second timing, and tossing the ball to a spot where a team mate is supposed to be, to confuse defense, and to give them the advantage of knowing what is going to happen, "In the first half they threw the ball away four times trying to set up this type of play, but they finally paid off on it. Evidence of Stanford's success with the quick break is in the fact the Indians scored 9 of their 15 field goals from within six feet of the basket, They took only nine out of 44 shots from as far as 15 feet out. "Stanford's defense was better than Santa Clara's, The Broncos were forc- ed to shoot lone ones, while the Indians worked in clos Thirty-three of the Bronco shots were more than 20 feet long, and four of these practically from the center circle, "The Broncos were extremely well coached in setting up screens and check plays, but the Indians were too smart to be suckered out of position. No reflec- tion on the Broncs; a compliment to the Indians, Few attachs are better coached or executed than the Broncos', BURNESS BEST BALL HAWK ON COAST, "Stanford Personnel: Williams, forward, is fast, tougher than he looks, and an opportunist, He was closely suarded, as shown by the 7 free throws he got from too close guarding, Shoots with either hand, is deadly from ten feet out, "Anderson is Stanford's fastest man, breaks up many passes, His major fault is that at present he's too fast for his hands, On down court dribbles he moves so fast he often loses control of the ball when shooting, By the time he gets rid of the ball he's out of the court, An excellent floor man, "Burness is our idea of the best man on the Coast at this writing. A natur- al ball hawk, he's always where it falls, On offense he plays the pivot spot and fakes passes like Houdini, His four quick field goals against Santa Clara in the second half resulted from one reason only: Burness! faking everyone out of posi- tion then shooting, On defense he's sensational, "Davidson has yet to reach his peak, To do his best shooting he must get set, An excellent floor man, and best ball handler on the squad, 7 a, Pare 12 "Cowden has learned to guard without fouling and is now tops. A good shot he rounds out a high scoring team, He will be nicked on many "all-opponents" teams, HALE IS SPARK OF SANTA CLARA TEAM Santa Clara: Hale is a quick ball handler and needs no set position to shoot from any angle. Stanford forced him to shoot long, but he's deadly on quick breaks for the bucket. The spark of the team, If you stop Hale, well- "Mangan and O'Rourke played excellent floor games, but we'll have to see them again to pass judgment, "Rickert is a good post man and ball handler, Not a natural player like Burness, and deserves great credit for the manner in which he has learned to play. Biggest fault is in being caught off balance on defense, which allows a quick opponent to get a half stride away, A good shot, "Feerick's play was good, but I believe the Civic Auditorium lighting bothered his shooting, He was short several times, Maybe the short ones were passes to the pivot man, He shoots from 15 feet on all sides of the court, "Passaglia plays hard, emotionally, and well, Against Stanford he rimmed the basket many times, which seems to indicate he was a bit off. Perhaps from working so hard to stop Williams, STANFORD CARELESS HANDLING THE BALL "Major Weaknesses: Stanford loses the ball carelessly, seven times Satur- day by bad passes, twice by walking, and four times by pass interceptions, The Indians insist on tossing long passes which are bad, When going sets tough, they tend to get tougher and may foul out. Subs are not up to the first string stan- dard, Maybe it's -- play 'em hard and wear 'em down, "Santa Clara has no top flight long shot, The boys are small and must plan the game to save energy, Often they pile their own plays, Smother their tricks, but don't leave your goal unguarded, They have proved they're one of the best teams in the country, (Diagram on page 13). es *& 8 & # UNDER THE BASKET Walsh to Pocket His Court Whistle Dave Walsh, prominent official in the metropolitan area, is retiring from active officiating because of the unexpectedly heavy demands of his work as an associate director of the newly organized Colleciate Basketball Officials Bureau, Dave will be recalled as the running mate of Pat Kennedy. He and Kennedy were usually seen together in both outside games and in the Fastern Intercolle- giate Leasue tests, Walsh has been released from outside engagements, but will continue to use his whistle in the Eastern Intercollegiate League, This excevtion is being made because the league's staff of referees and umpires for this year's service was made up many months ago and does not include ready replacements, With Ellwood A, Geiges as the other associate director to Asa S, Bushnell and the list of registered officials steadily growing, it was suggested that Mr, Walsh have the opportunity to add grestly to the administrative work assigned to him, and help in the development of the youncer group of promising officials now coming to the fore, SEE YOU AT THE CONVENTION ~t—— SANTA CLARA First Half STANFORD ————™ Page 13 = Ball lost by Santa Clara ~N ag a 04 sg Q@- at ps ah, ~@ © ages a. .© ? 5 © @ g o- + y 7 —?

How mach mileage will an individual performer, say Pinky Lipscomb, for instance, run up in the game against Kentucky here tonight? An Eastern college coach recently attached pedometers to his players and discovered that in a regulation contest his team covered 24,01 miles, an aver~ age of 4,8 per man, No player traveled more than 5,31 miles in the full forty minutes, One did only 4,25. Too strenuous? Harmful? You answer, Proved Pace,-— Tom Scott, coach at Central Missouri Teachers College, writing in the current issue of "First Aider" magazine, takes the stand that basketball is not injurious, "Basketball is like any other major sport in that it requires the indivi- dual to be in condition to participate, particularly so if a team uses the fast- breaking offense," he writes, "Players become mentally fatigued and they be- come physically fatigued, but if they are in good physical condition before a game there is no worry. "Players are not in as continuous running motion as they appear to be. Most spectators, in watching a game, watch the ball rather than the individual in action, The ball moves with great ranidity, and the spectator marvels at the ability of the players to keep going at this fast pace, "Actually, they are not going at such a pace. In a Kansas City tourna- ment last year fifteen players were timed throughout the game for the amount of time they were out of a walk, The greatest time consumed was 17 mimtes and 48 seconds and the least 8 minutes and 48 seconds, The average time for all fifteen boys was 12 mimtes and 59 seconds, which is an average of 31 per cent of the total time of the same, "That means that the average time they were walking or standing still was 27 minutes, 1 second, or 69 per cent of the time, This did not include rest periods during time outs, free throws, jump balls or out of bounds," Mebbe so, mebbe so, but I doubt if you find any player who thinks he stands still 69 per cent of the time, The editor will try to make the next issue the feature one. Why not each coach put himself out a little and contribute a small item of interest? The N.C.A.A. Tournament will be held in Kansas City, Moe - preliminaries March 21 & 22 = Final March 29.

Page 15 ONE MAN'S OPINION Hank Crisp, Veteran Tutor, Avers South Backward in Basketball Needs Better Shows, Larger Gyms By Raymond Johnson NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, Jan, 31, 1941,--Hank Crisp, who has been turning out first rate cage teams at the University of Alabama for 17 years, readily admits bas= ketball in the South is far behind that of the East, He thinks something should be done to revive the spectator interest, but he doesn't know the solution for Dixie's problems, Basketball in this section, with few exceptions, is tossed in during the winter to give the athletes and student body a little entertainment, In most of the Southeastern Conference schools, the basketball coach is one who has’ other duties which are more important and on which their jobs depend. The cage sport is a losing proposition at all but two of the Big 12 members, "The East has double headers and they have proven highly popular," Crisp said yesterday afternoon as he awaited time for last night's game with Vanderbilt "They give the fans a good evening's entertainment, It takes only a few mmtes over an hour for a game, and when a person turns out for a game, it kills the evening for him, "In football, you have the half-time festivities and the bands playing. But basketball doesn't have anything, "Up at Maryland and Virginia, they put on boxing matches and then their basketball sames, This gives the spectators a pretty full evening's entertain- ment, "Some of the Southeastern schools have tried freshmen games with the var- sity contests, but they didn't draw, Quite often season ticket holders wouldn *% even come out, They didn't care for the freshman games, STAGE TWIN-BILLS, 'Twe thought of having, say Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky and Vanderbilt, meet in the Birmingham auditorium in a double header, That might be the solution, but the auditorium will hold only about 5,000 for basketball, The expenses of put- ting it on probably would be too great. "Tf there were auditoriums which would hold around 10,000 spectators, then we could have double headers in the South, That would give us enough revenue to come out a little ahead, As it is now, we are lucky if we take in enough to pay the officials, I feel confident double-headers in the South would revive specta- tor interest and bring basketball back to the place it once occupied in this sec- tion, Vanderbilt basketball has drawn practically nothing the past few years, The average crowd is only a little over 1,000 and 90 per cent of those are students, VOLS. LEADING FOR, fennessee is the best team Alabama has faced this winter, Crisp believes, Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida appear to be the better teams, the Ala- bama tutor says. He looks for Mississippi State to be a threat by tournament time, Tulane is a little better than usual and Georgia is not as good, Auburn must not be overlooked, warns Hank, As for his own team, he doesn't talk much about it, except to say that his first six men on last year's squad are all gone, BEST QUINT IN 1930, In his 17 years at the Capstone, Crisp has turned out many crack teams, two of which captured conference crowns, Two others were runnersup. Page 16 Hank's greatest team was the 1930 combine which beat Duke in the finals, "We didn't lose a game during that entire season," the Tide tutor said with a smile, "We've had other good ones but I'll take the team that beat Duke for the championship1" . Alabama whipped Florida in the finals for the Southeastern crown in 1935, In 1924, Hank's first season at the helm, the Tide bowed to North Carolina in | the finals and it lost to Tennessee in the finals at Knoxville a few years ago, WANTS JUMP REVIVED, Crisp doesn't think basketball is any faster today than it was 15 years ago although he does admit that more players are needed on a squad, "Seven or eight were all one needed before they did away with the center jump," Crisp stated. "Now you must have 10 or 12, It's extremely rare that a boy plans an entire game now, It's not their lack of conditioning but the fact that they have to run so much more since they did away with the center jump." Hank would like to see the center jump restored even if it would put more premium on coaching. So would the majority of the spectators, x» e« &* *&* &© H & DANGERS IN BASKETBALL 01d Player Thinks Modern Game Is Too Taxing on Youngsters To Sports Editor of The New York Times: Twenty years ago I played basketball at City College under Nat Holman, I have watched the game ever since with keen interest and anxiety, Yes, with anxiety because I am worried about the effect of the present game on the players, No doubt all sports have changed in the past decade with the idea of increasing their interest for the spectator, However, there is no necessity for college and high schools to sacrifice the health and well-being of their youngsters for the glorification of a spec- tacle that becomes a physical slaughter, We are going back to the days of the Roman gladiators and the sacrifice of men in the arena, There is no let-up in the present game of basketball and the wild scoring as the result of the abolition of the center jump after a goal makes the game so severe that it taxes the health of even athletes in perfect condition, It is time to call a halt and sanely reflect that the welfare of the boys who play the game is the all-important thing for the colleges to regard, mt the spectators, There is absolutely no excuse for permitting high school students to play the game under its present set-up. I appeal to the coaches and educa~ tional authorities to come to their senses, George M. Feigin, New York, January 12, 1941, Editorial Note: If it will allay the alarm, it might be stated that high school teams play only eight-minute quarters and may take time out five times with- out penalty, Furthermore, twice in the game, if no time out has been called over a period of four minutes, the referee is required to halt the play for two mimtes, REMAMBER, DES.

By Bob Stevens DOUBLE DRIVEL: Though the game belongs to the kids, and the benefits thereof to them, the most fascinating characters in sports are still the coaches, a group of person- alities with indescribable idiosyncrasies, Particularly the prep brains, Being employed primarily as gymnasium instructors, they receive no monetary satisfaction from their hours of screeching, demonstrating, pleading, and threa- tening, yet a more serious guy than a high school coach can't be found, Basket- ball, a secondary major sport to king football, is wealthy with the little wacky but extremely likable coaching characters, They go through hades and high water every season, every same, every prac- tice, They're comically boastful when victorious, pathetically crushed when de- feated, or dangerously sensitive when crossed, There's few "middle men" in the coaching business, the guy being either a confirmed egoist, a man suffering from an inferiority complex, or a gent who couldn't be happy if he had two full squads of Hank Iuisettis,. The high school coach is an entirely separate breed from the glamorous lea- ders of collegiate athletic destinies, They don't know the meaning of outside "“nressure", yet they scream like stabbed eagles when the cards fall against them accuse everybody for anything, Victory isn't necessarily demanded of them, yet they battle for it just as passionately as the collesiate coach who must win to keep stocked with coffee and cakes, Their bible is "next year," If beaten, they never throw in the towel, but immediately start building for that "next year," which never will come to some of them, They have their hearts torn out every season, their nerves stretched to a breaking point, their health consequently impaired, so "all-out" are their ef- forts at molding a winning combination, ; Flattery is seldom theirs, promotion virtually impossible, Most of them are satisfied to stay with the undeveloped, uncoordinated preps, asking nothing more than the chance to brag should one of their boys set a collegiate league on fire, THEY'VE UNSHAKEN FAITH IN OWN METHODS. No two of them are alikee Their individual personalities dominate the style of their teams and they have unshaking faith in their own coaching methodse They'll fight at the drop of a mis-quote, argue to a point one inch this side of physical combat, then shake it off and take you out for dinner. They're remarkable men, these high school coaches, and, though they've nev- er been credited with it, are the backbone of democracy, They shape the careers of the future Mr, and Mrs, America, preaching all the prerequisites of solid citizenship, They give every kid an equal chance, never censor those not gifted athletically, but go hours out of their way to give each case a square shake, But they're not gods of a different world, far from it. Some don't prac- tice what they preach, but all preach what the kids should practice, Many de- prive themselves of normal social lives so Johnny may jump out of the rut and get on the straight line again, They labor hours over the regular required time, accept each individual as a particular problem worth solving, THEY FACE ALL KINDS OF TOUGH PROBLEMS, Nine times out of ten they solve it, too. They trouble themselves over the academic standards of their athletes, for which they receive nothing in return except a "thanks, coach," and perhaps a better performer for the effort, They Page 18 settle things sometimes beyond control of the parents, a voluntary duty far more essential than the fielding of a winning team, though the winning team is the di- rect result of that voluntary, not demanded, labor. Some coaches are far more talented than others, and in only rare cases do they take advantage of it to purposely embarrass, via crushing defeat, a less cap- able opponent, They have a code of ethics, too. ». 2 4 UR OUR THE BOY AND THE GAME The Southern Coach and Athlete, Feb. 1941.--On a certain Southern basket- ball team there is a big boy playing the center position, Many thought that, due to his height, he would be of great value to his team this season, His pro- gress in basketball has been somewhat disappointing and at a recent game a svnec- tator was heard to remark, "I don't see why that coach fools with that boy. I'd kick him off my team and spend my time on somebody that could do me some good," The opinion he expressed was one in which a majority of the fans would have con- curred, That was one viewpoint and, to them, the only logical one, That same evening the coach of that team, without knowing of the critical remarks of the fan, said, "Basketball has certainly helped that boy. If we do not win another game this season, the game has been worthwhile for the good it has done him, Last year he couldn't play three minutes without losing his tem- per and committines unnecessary fouls." Here was expressed a different, and a broader viewpoint, The contrast was striking, Both were sincere and positive, It was all a matter of point of view, One was looking at it from the outside, the other from the inside, One opinion was formed from a view from the gallery- the other from a back-stare acquaintance with the characters, One wanted to know "What can the boy do for the game?" The other's concern was "What can the game do for the boy?" We would not condemn either viewpoint, There is merit in both of these philosophies, Every boy who participates in a sport should feel obligated to up- hold its best traditions, The moment he is issued a varsity uniform, he becomes a trustee of the game honor, A varticipant who does not carry a courageous heart and a sportsmanlike attitude into the same is suilty of stealing something from the game, The conduct of every pleyer becomes a part of the tradition of that sport, It is his duty to build into the same the noblest and best tradition of which he is capable, so that the game will offer a greater challenge and a srea- ter inspiration to those who follow, On the other hand, if the game can help theindividual, it should be per- mitted to do so. When wisely administered, a game can render a great service in building character into the individual participant, It can make a boy strong, fast, honest, fair, cooperative, loyal, and courageous! However, any time a sport has to help a boy who is below average in any of these qualities it has to give something of itself to do it, The standard of that game has been lowered to that extent. But all are not "drawing" on the same -- some are contributing, To offset the weak, there are strong characters who exert a noble influence on the game, The game takes on something of their character -- their courage, loy- alty and sportsmanship, They build into the game a higher and richer tradition. It is the same old story: some contribute, others receive -- "the strong bear the infirmities of the weak," It is simply a game of give and take -- it's life! THE CONVENTION -- HOTEL PENNSYLVANIA -—- MARCH 24, 25, 1941, -- NEW YORK CITY Page 19 BASKETBALL REBOUNDS Dave Walsh Urges Court Coaches to Devote More Attention to Defense By Irving T, Marsh, A plea to basketball coaches to direct a little more attention to defense was made by Dave Walsh, veteran arbiter and now associate director of the Col- lege Basketball Officials Bureau, at the meeting of the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association yesterday at the Lincoln, and his plea aroused a storm of controversy that continued far beyond meeting time, Putting the issue squarely up to the coaches and expressing, he insisted, _ @ purely personal opinion, he declared that basketball has become almost exclu- sively a "firehorse" game in which the value of the field goal has been cheap- ened and the size of the court has been cut exactly in half because most teams do not begin their defense until the offensive unit crosses the mid-court line. "Let's pick 'em up all over the court," he said, "and then I think you'll have a better game all round, We have become too offensive-minded, and any g@me is as good as its defense, That's true in baseball, football or any other game you can mention, This 'firehorse' basketball has outmoded the dribbler and the pivoter, There's no sense any more in dribbling and pivoting, the really skill- ful and scientific things in basketball, when all you have to do is stand out near or at mid-court and sink 'em with set shots," Oklahoma Aggies Aid Argument Then, in answer to the argument that spectators seem to like "racehorse" basketball and t'hell with the defense, he vointed to Oklahoma A, and M,, which he thought, was ghe best defensive team that has appeared here this year. "And the customers liked them," he added, Walsh's talk, on the senersl subject of "What's Wrong With Basketball?" ended a program that also had Lon Jourdet, veteran Pennsylvania coach; John (Honey) Russell, of Seton Hall; Albert Gorton, of Panzer, and Howard Cann, of N. Y. U., as speakers, It preceded an argument in which Walsh had a grand op- portunity to test his own defense, because most of the coaches assembled hopped right into the fray, Jourdet making his first appearance before the writers, saic his Pennsyl- vania team was going to be much better than last year and he hoped that it might be a contender in the Fastern Leasue tournament this year. But Dartmouth, cham- pion for the last three years, is stronger than last year, Princeton undeniably is and Cornell has a good club, he admitted, Gorton and Russell, neighbors from the Jersey Oranges whose teams do not meet each other, discussed the problems of the small-college coach, and Gorton was a little downcast at his team's set-back by John Marshall last Saturday af- ter Panzer had run up forty-four straight victories, Russell, the old pro play- er, declared he still was wondering how Seton Hall has managed to win thirty-two in a row, Cann Explains N, Y. U. Success Cann, explaining what "made N, Y, U. click," attributed it to the Violets! ability to keep moving and to condition, revealing that his players engage in plenty of calisthenic drills as well as primarily basketball workouts, That, he thought, was really the secret of N, Y. U.'s success, Page 20 BASKETBALL'S FORGOTTEN MEN To Sports Editor of The New York Times: Every Monday morning newspapers carry basketball statistics, These com prise, in the main, salutes to the scorers, That's all right; points win games and athletes who make them deserve plaudits, But isn't it time to recognize that plays have to be set up in advance of the score? And that such eminent playmakers as Dutch Garfinkel of St. John's Ben Auerbach of N, Y,. U. and Ossie Shectman of L, I, U, set the stage for hun- dreds of baskets? Basketball differs from baseball in this respect: In baseball the ath- lete at the plate makes his own score, A Greenberg or a DiMaggio controls his own destinies, He can triple or strike out, all on his own power, In basketball, on the other hand, a player engaged in an offensive thrust must depend on the cooperation and deftness of a team-mate, Thus a White or a Lobello rises or falls by the skill and passing of a Garfinkel or a Schectman, Emphasizing the fact that these floor men are not prolific scorers is like jJournalistically penalizing Walters and Feller because they are not .300 hitters, It is a rare thing to find such standout ball-handlérs as Garfinkel, Auerbach and Shectman operating on one scene in one season, How about making that observation now? It may be years before we see the likes of them again, Bernard Green, New York, Jan, 23, 1941, Editorial Note: The spectators see more than the hands that shoot the ball into the basket and they pay tribute accordingly, But possibly some more compre- hensive charting system will come into the game eventually, se * & H HR SOMEWHERE IN THE GAME Somewhere in the zame Beyond the grip of battle and the dream Of greater conquests and of richer game There comes a chance to lay aside the glean, The gleam that we call glory, or renown-- But which is mostly myth -- to lend a hand To some fagged, reeling entry who is down, And give him one more scrimmage with the band, Somewhere in the game You'll find a good bit more than winning strife-- The fickle cheering or the mad acclaim-—- That you once thought to be the sum of life, You'll find the value of all this is small, A drifting phantom through a shadowed glen, Where you might lift some pal who had to fall, And give him one more chance to start again, -- Grantland Rice, REMEMBER THE DATES ----- MARCH 24 and 25, ——_ eS ee ee INDIANA RUNS IOWA GROGGY By W.°?, Fox, dr. INDIANAPOLIS TIMES,--Bloomington, Ind., Feb, 11.--Rollie Williams, basketball coach at the University of Iowa, sat on a bench in the dressing room down here last night with a scorebook spread out across his lap, He was scanning the fieures for the first half of a game which went to Indiana, 50 to 40, The score at the half was 23 to 9, The score with less than four minutes of the first half left was 18 to 4, This Mr, Williams played his basketball at Wisconsin under Dr, Walter E, Meanwell., The doctor's plan was to pass, pivot and block, The center jump was in good standing then, The game was slower, Big boys came in pretty handy, and they didn't have to be racehorses, Power plays counted, Fast breaks were broken up with something more than speed and interception, The kid who came down the floor all aflutter and went high into the air to shoot was apt to land in the brass section of the band, Looked Good at Start, Towa looked like a good basketball team for five minutes; Iowa had 2 tall men and 3 short ones, The short ones were fast; the tall ones clever, But In- diana had five pretty tall boys, five boys who might have been on Billy Hayes's cross-country team, if not on his track team in the dash department. Iowa, on offense, played three men in and two men out. When Indiana broke the Hoosiers had three and two situations so often Iowa was just plain left be- hind, The grind began to tell. The Hawkeyes ran out of gas, sputtered and when bumped the least bit tumbled over, grogey. Indiana rebounded the pants off the visitors, and that may have been the reason Uncle Rollie Williams looked up from his book when some one asked him what could be done about this free-scoring game today and said, "Eliminate the backboards," | Would Ban Dribble, Just the other day Stanley Feezle said he thought it would be a good idea to allow only one bounce, Eliminate the dribble. George Keogan thinks the ten- second and three-second rules are silly, Piggy Lambert does, too, John Schom- mer, the whistler, says, "The people are still pouring in, aren't they?" Towa didn't hit when it really counted, Iowa doesn't have a senior on the squad, Pigsy said they'd be tough at home, The Purdue strategist thought the game would have been much different if Iowa had hit a few shots early in the game, Rollie Williams thought Indiana had a houseful of beautiful basketball players, Few teams have the stamina Indiana shows, and when the shooting is over this season it may be that ability to hang in there and run like the wind for forty minutes that will bring to the Hoosiers their first undisputed Big Ten title, THE LAMBERT WALK OF BASKETBALL Out on a highway one evening over a cup of cream of mushroom soup, while awaiting a choice slab of cow, a little fellow squirmed in his seat and tried to make something plain to me, In a way he succeeded and if I can get it over to you you won't have to listen to a lot of Big Ten basketball scouts who say Purdue has no system, Page 22 "We break fast whenever we can," said Piggy. "We have no set system of passing the ball going down the floor, We do drill on getting the ball down ad in such drills we develop reactions and playing habits, "How the passes go depends on reactions, If necessary Purdue is always pre- pared to go into a set formation offense, But these set formations are different from many in that they feature the initiative of guards, "We use our guards cutting a great deal when forwards are set up on either side, They may meet the ball or get in from behind after a fake, They have’ to meet the ball to set a block, When a coach must define the path of his players he leaves no room for initiative, Teams that play Purdue have to guard our play- ers as individuals or go into some form of a zone defense," Well, that was the way Piggy explained it, The Purdue boys have lost three vames this year, Why? Well, they miss that center they had last year, a boy named Fisher, Do you remember how he camped around those backboards? No one seems to be doing that successfully this year, And that Purdue defense, so they tell me, isn't as air tight as it has been, It's a little early though to start taking over Piggy's job. I'd rather wait awhile and see how things come out when they go into that pressure program during February, LITTLE ORPHAN DANNY To know that some one really cares That's meant the world to me-- To see him smile when I do well, To feel he winced the time I fell, That's why I fight for him like, well, It's not just victory. To know the kids can understand Just what he means to me-—~ To hear them whisper in the gym, "The coach sure thinks a lot of him; No wonder Danny keeps in trim'-—- It fills my heart with glee, The others have their Moms and Dads To cheer them on each night-- He sort of watches out for me, And some day when its got to be, That HE needs one more victory-- Just watch young Danny fight! Then when my high school days are spent Somehow I hope I'11 find-- Some way to tell him he's the one, Who had a right to call me son, Who turned my burdens into fun-- This coach, I'll leave behind, J.V.A.
