NEW WILMINGTON, Pa., Jan. 2T-~Why a star basketball forward an flash over the court and cage a t before the guards of his ppenents’ team can reach him is cxplained by a psychologist who is also a coach. Men who play the forward posi- s in basketball have a quicker physical reaction and are more emoticnal and impulsive than guards, says J. D.
