(continued from page four) tain well-defined principles of the offensive in basketball, Dr. Allen pointed out. In both circumstances the principle aim of any offensive to move forward. However there can be wide differences in the method of moving forward, said the doctor.
Reverse Tricks
"A basketball team on the offensive should constantly reverse its field. In football it is a difficult trick, but

in basketball where two or three men can be used, it is simple and very profitable, for like military strategy it throws the enemy off balance, and pulls them from their defensive positions," explained Allen.
"Each move on the offensive basketball court should be as coldly calculated as a move on the battlefront," added Dr. Allen. "Just as men in the army must learn how to conduct themselves in army offenses, so must they learn offensive maxims such as never pivoting from the sidelines."
"Nor," continued Allen, "can a basketball squad, like an army, ever forget its true objective—the goal
All the fancy passing and dribbling in the world does no more good than an army's fancy drilling unless it is later used for scoring purposes."
Save Men on Court
Economy force will probably be a big factor in the final decision in the present war, the Jayhawk basketball coach pointed out, for if one side can save up a number of men and materials for an offensive when the other side is spent, its chances of success will naturally be great.
"Economy of men in basketball is just as profitable," declared Allen. If one guard can cover the territory in which the enemy has two forwards, all the better for the guard's team. They then have four men for duty elsewhere on the court."
"No smart general uselessly drives his troops to fatigue during a campaign," Dr. Allen declared. "Like-wise basketball squads do well to make the most of their movements, and yet they should be on the move. A stationary man is no threat to the other team."
Goose-Step Silly
Simplicity of movement is an essential in basketball and in military life, stated Dr. Allen. "That is why the goose-step is one of the silliest things ever invented by the mind of man," he stated. "it calls heavily upon men's energies, and gives nothing in return."
"In basketball," said the coach, "we have learned certain principles of simple and profitable movement. For

The Texas Christian line this fall rates as one of the school's best in recent years. Holding down the end posts will be Bruce Alford, a candidate for all-American recognition, and Bob Balaban, scintillating sophomore star from this state. Also scheduled to give the Kansas linesmen trouble is Derrell Palmer, a dynamic tackle, and Jim Woodfin, veteran center.
14. Veterans Return
Thirty-seven men have been working out under Meyer this fall. Sixteen of that number are sophomores, and 14 won varsity letters last fall.
Meyer has been using a starting lineup of four seniors, six juniors, and one sophomore. A poll of sports writers and commentators in the Southwest placed the Frogs in third place in the tough Southwest Conference race.
Well aware of the task ahead of his charges, coach Henry is emphasizing rigorous scrimmage sessions this week in an effort to strengthen his reserve list. Most of the regulars are being withheld from tackling and blocking in order to avoid repetition of the Gene Roberts injury incident. Substitutes, however, are working overtime to provide possible replacements for the TCU game.
