BS _ Years, there has been a league down in ‘ed for having piled up a number of BESERVE CREDIT FOR AN ASSIST’ System Adopted j in Scoring cases in East Should Be Recognized in West, Eddie Gahan | Insists BY EDDIE GAHAN With basketball gaining -popularity | with every dribble of the ball, it’ is a) sin that in this part of the eountry one! of the most important features of the great cage. gamé is’ entirely: overlooked. one of the biggest factors in the game and which goes a Yong wry toward per- fecting team play. An assist, as we all ‘kn ds credited | to the player who ball to a teammate, who, without ribbling or passing the ball again, converts the pass into a field goal; In the box scores in the eastern, New York state, New England and Central leagues and in the big eastern colleges, the assists are shown. In showing a “hasketbatl player's percentage of points, assists , are required, for they have a value in the percentage table, We remember an instancé-of the im- } portance of the assist: which occurred | four years ago. Georgs Dudley, ma ager of the De Neri team, represep Philadelphia in the Eastern ‘ieague fered a fiye dollar bill to every: player on his team for each assist they record- ded. This offer was made before one | of the most crucial games of the vea=| Son and ‘the result was that the Quak- ers literally buried. their opponents and every man but one ‘on the team collect- assiste. . Another instance showing the impor: tance of the assist occurred in 1916, | when Reading, Pa., and Trenton, N. dy} were battling tooth and nail for the! Eastern Jeague pennant. The two teams Met near the end of the season ih the} game that would. just aout decide the | race. With less than a minute to play, Trenton was leading by two point: Horse Haggerty, Reading's giant center was in the center of the flodr’all set to take a long thrust at the basket.| Any Seats, Reading's crafty captain,” sneaked up the floor like a cat, Hag: | gerty detecting his move. With tho motion of shooting for the basket, Hag- | gerty tossed the ball ip the path of the speeding Sears, who scooped it up. on the dead run and back-boarded a two! pointer, tying the score. «In the extra! period, Reading Won ihe game nan later won the pennant. The newspapers gave Sears plenty? ub) tredit for his accurate: shots but shan) ed most jof the gloty to Hagzerty., It was his assist that put. Sears fh the position to tows the needed gogl. Hag: gerty might have taken the shot fo: the basket, and it is 20°to;1 he woul have missed, Is the assist an important factor? UNCLE SAM VERTISES FOR BALL PLAYERS For the first time: since the original} national commission drafted the con- slilution~of the Unjted States, Uncle Sam is advertising for baseball players— for government work, | Down in the Panama Catal Zone, baseball is the one thing that keeps the | soldier in s00d spirits when he is not} on guard duty. Because of ‘thet torrid Weuther conditions, all the soldiers are not so auxious to. play ball, but they are eager (o be spectators.) For several) | | t } | | the zone, and it is said that the brand of ball displayed by these soldiérs would | make lots of Class A, leaguers look like | Washerwomen, Now, the soldiers who formed the! league aré getting their discharges atter | @ four-yeur enlistment and leaving the | zone. The result, is that the league is shot to ‘pieces and only mediocre play? ers remain to make up the team. > good baseball to watch, the soldiers get restless while off duty. * Thus Uncle Sara needs more baseball players to help him along im his ‘military affairs. COLLEGE CRANKS WOULD 'BAN BOXING Since the chief of police of .New Haven, “Conn,, halted the proposed Leonurd-Dw bout, a group of mar: rowminded Yale professors has started a campaign which it hopes will cause boxing to be eliminated ffoni the sport schedules of all the American colleges. These professors are sending propa- ganda to professors thruout the coun try urging them to také sides against miittfests “in schools.

This tb one of the reasons "thit ‘the ‘assiaticibe ) tention Was that between Kid Harrison, Ths | technical knockout over Roy Recto j uled ten-round go at the Iris theater. Martin's heavy punching abil | ity and aggressive style of attack carried him to victory over Casper’s light-heavyweight man. Martin knocked Rector thru the ropes’as the initial round closed and seemed to have the upper hand al-{ tho both watched for openings, not bother Martin. ‘ ‘To start the second, Martin rushed Rector to the ropes and while he was! |still hanging inside of them, showered | 48, well-placed right. rights and lefts to his head. Rector} reeled but seemed to recoyer. Another | blow knocked hin down but got up and went against the ropes again: Mar-) tun continued to rain his heavy blows | on Rector’s head and the Casper man’s second tossed the sponge into the ring in token of surrender. The near knockont came as a climax to the “fightenest” program ‘of box: ing Put on in Casper. In boik of the | preliminaries it was plainly eyident that} nO friendly. feeling ever existed between | the fighters.

Dempéeey lef off with a fierce attack and because of his aggressiveness was given’ the first round. Harrison con- tented Himself with waiting and land-} ed only a few blows. But the second was a different story. Harrison opened up with his wicked left with telling effect on Dempsey’s face: ' Dempsey ended the round™bleed- ing about the nose and mouth, Tho outweighed a little and standing head} yd shoulder below Dempsey, Harrison playersiare eager io cross the pond and win back the coveted trophy. The ‘excuse coming from England for the postponement ‘until next year of the proposed 1920 meet is ‘that ‘he: layers lack real polo ponies. It is claimed that the war caused a great pony shortage and that ‘none batt been aevelyped enough te meet the demands of the polo players. This may be irue., lt just gues to show, however, just how ‘the English will take no. chances’ of Tosing a matéh toythe Americans, Our ponibs ‘are no: better than the” English nes, but América was Posed for the match.
