STREET— tae By ED CONNERS, | Athletic Director at Camp Sherman.| There are two things a basketball) team should watch carefully.. When} shooting for a basket always be mov-! ing toward the, basket when making | the shot. Too often the men try when; they are going away and they. are not; very effective in their work. This ap-; plies especially to ‘beginners. It is a pretty safe thing for the! guards to keep between their man and: the basket. Even on the tip-off the! guard will often find it an advantage to play inside of his: man. { The’ winning team nearly always| plays: the ball all the-time, And the! real thing in basketball 1s to have pos-| session’ of the ball and be able to shoot. | Team work is the most important! thing a team must Have to win. Stars | are a-detriment unless they are will- ing to enter into-team work with the other.men, Often team play is spoiled by one or two men hogging the ball and trying to dribble up to the basket | for a shot. | The: dribble should never be used | i? a man it can betherevbgkajxzfittft if there is a man it can be passed to. It comes into -play ifthe man with the ball ‘is. just out of the distance: for a-sure shot, Then by a quick drib- ble he gets nearer to the basket. Drib- bling, the whole length of the floor is not ‘good basketball and should not be used. Fast, accurate passing is the thing that everyteam should work to make perfect. ee Tae ee | IOWA PLANNING TO TAKE ON BIG ONES University Baseball Schedule Includes Heavy Dates Jowa tiCy, Ia., March 11.—Fourteen games, six of them with Western con- ference: nines, are.on the University of Jowa’s baseball schedule.
