did not practices

While I am on that subject I might mention the fact that after
our conference games were over with Oldahoma on March Sth, our
team actually put on their unifoms and practiced but one day from
Merch 8th to March SOthe Our men were light and we only had
seven men that carried the brunt of the attack « Ingleman, Miller,
Allen, Ebling, Harp, Kline, Vorane So I conserved their strength
as yuch as possiblee And during that period we played Oldlaham,
Oklahoma Ae & Me, Rice, Southern California and Indiana. |

instead of crying the blues on injuries, ineligibility, inexe
perience, and so forth, on the other hand I would rather pay
great tribute to the morale and esprit de corps of this fighting
little Kansas “pony express". We realize that both Missouri and
Oklehana had won the championship with junior men, and we picked
wo no additional players, all of these individuals being sophmores

mom, so we could not figure how in the world we could

get a tie out of ite Frankly, I did not expect it. So for us to
on the two main-stem wimers was a pleasant surprise to me,

course when we continued to win games by eyelash decisions

iit alcunuee that was just so

In answer to your second question, we used both the fast break
and set play style of offense. We fast broke when we had the |
opponents outnumbered or when we were freshs and when we were tired
or the opposing defense was greater in strength, we used set
plays with soreening and not block plays Sexeening is interfering
with the progress of the opponent without miking bodily contact, —
and blocking is a foul by interfering with the opponent by mikking
bodily contact. The reason I mention the definition of screening
is because the term is used incorrectly often even by coaches who
have been instructed as to the definition. .

In our defense wo used the stratified transitional man for man
defense with the zone principlee The zone principle was employed
when we were outnumbered on defenses

I think I told you that I would not rate the team equal physically
with any tean that we met this year, conference or non-conference,
but when it came to giving, they gave the last ounce of energy and
_ devotions It was e remarimble team for its ability not to
whippede ‘They had us licked dozens of times, but the kids would —
bounce back with an indomitable spirit that was the envy of mee I
