Dec. 18.—Dr. Cooke, basketball coach at the} ersity of Minnesota, started his men on a week of hard work after the victory over the St. Olaf college team from Northfield. The university players defeated the college men by better than a two to one score, but shawed only flashes of the form that must 9%e attained to finish in the confer race. The old Oss-Arntson combinetioa worked | smoothly at times, and 4)ss° driving power carried him through the college | defense on several 0 ns, 3 for close: up shots, but the atrack the concentrated kind that the c knows will be necessary in games. Minnesota's five man defense was too strong for the St Olaf men, who made most of their points scored by that team’s long shots. Minneapolis, Wel Js: jthey will sting suuad is always handi- capped from 8 to 19 points on a strange ftoor, The goals, the light! of the court and the surrounding audi- factors that must be coped with. Some coaches teach only a certaia style of team pl: while others pick their quintets and drill them in a method of play that suits their per- sonal demands. Credit is due the coach who, ia} jan amateurish way, takes five men and develops team-work. If a ‘coach hi 2 bunch of bruisers probably be better on defense, playing low-score games. Such a squad usually develops the individual style of attack—a. five-' man defense with a three-man rush | for scoring. Long Pass The most common system of team play, however, is known as the long Pass game. An ideal combination to handle this style of playing is made up of two. big, tall men and three speeders, and you have the reach at the end. The c!ever men, playing on the ball, run the floor and produce the punch. ‘Long passes from 5 to 15 yards go to spots, and the ball is kept in a high plane. The pass is considered faster than the dribble. On a large 94-foot court this sys-, tem is a winner from an energy stand- point. Work generally starts with the tall, large men who feed the! speeders. Probably the best way for opponents to match this long pass combination is with a three-man de-| fense playing at spots. Short Pass Owing to the small court of the | smaller towns the tendency of team- j twork is to swing toward the short pass game. The big “lumberjack” type of player is impossible for this style. Small men who are quick and can travel meet the demands best. The team works the ball in a low! plane. Passes from 2 to 5 yards are! used and the ball is snapped around fast. Sidesteps and pivots predom-, inate and, above all, quick starts are; necessary. Cross passes with men running in circles to lose oe get results. Four or drive. “Work the Ball In” is their motto. It takes a five-man defens2 to stop them. Lone Star As in football sume teams ‘build around the ace—the open field run-j ner. On the court he is called the! the game,/ Lone Star. He carries puts the punch into the play, es phenomenal endurance, and speed, is a clever e-stepper. he team around him is usually made up of two good basket shooters possess- dribbler and while the other two are just guards. It takes defensive brains to check the Lone Star. Silent’ Signals Team-work at times is set play built around an intricate system of signals. Spot the .center or a for- ward with the silent signals. A hand goes out, meaning a forward shoots to a corner. Two men rush for the ball. The basket shot is taken, two more players rush for a follow-up. ‘The third or fourth attempt usually scores the two points. Watch the oyt-of-bounds combina- tion play—a double pass amd a man | | is all set for a shot. The finest asset that any team-' work has is probably given by the ability to play by instinet.
