"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,

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,
