He blames lack of organization | and responsible backing for the de- | cline of the program until it bub- | bles up now only in scattered minor leagues. “I believe that with financial back- ing and proper organization pro basketball could be established as firmly as pro :football or hockey,” Holman declares. “Lack of organiza- | tion ruined it before. The game | gradually slipped until the teams were playing one-night stands in dance halls, and the wire cage idea was just about the last straw. It| brutalized: the game.” Played with Celtics | Holman was the most famed mem- | ber of the famed Celtics, a team virtually unbeatable in its heyday. He recalled the Celtics would play as many as 115 games in a season, and lose perhaps seven or eight. They never lost a series. He pointed out the main features | of the pro game at that time as: | 1. No zone defense. Strictly man- | | to-man. | | 2. No set plays. 3. Emphasis on short passing. 4. Everything done on the run. | 5. The element of timing “It was a more spontaneous game, allowing for initiative, and we were | everlastingly on the move,” Hol- man explains. “When we took a pass we didn’'t hesitate; we took it on | the run and got rid of it in one| motion.” | “Strangler Lewis Idea” | Holman, one of the few nationally | known players who gained game without attending college, shrewdly | capitalized on unpopularity. A mar- | vel as a player, he baited the fans, ' realizing that a crowd will come as readily to boo as it will to cheer. He views the field as wide open/| for a good pro league which would | draw the cream of the college crop, ' the same as pro football now gets | the outstanding collegians. With interest in basketball more wide- spread than it is in football, hockey, or even baseball, he sees no reason for failure if the sport is properly | organized and backed. Which means the way is open to| court popularity, but it will take Roger Stevenson, chairman of the Elks bowling committee. Anchorage was wired several days ago concerning such a tournament, but failed to answer, and when scor- es of five players rolling only medioc- re scores last night were received by The Empire today from the Hub City, local keglers were taken by surprise, As a result, Anchorage is being extended the courtesy of a fresh start, beginning today. Five consecutive matches will be rolled, each beginning at four o'clock in the afternoon, beginning today. Anchorage scores for the game last | inte the laps of the dollar a head night are as follows: Seeley 589, Wells (2 games) 345, 368 Frolyn 575, Westenbarger 534, Lak- shas (2 games) 351, Johnson (2 gam- es) 363, total 2757. .- RANGER FLIES W.

These boys are fairly evenly paired and have plenty of ambi- tion. Rubber man Gaston will trade holds with Billy Spendlove in the main event. This battle between wo ex-champions as Spendlove ‘laims former possession of the Mon- tana middleweight crown and Gas- ton garnered similar honors from Old Mexico. Spendlove will have to bounce the Mexican champ on ring post to kvep‘ nim quiet long enough to pin his shoulders for the count. Neither Gaston nor the Montanan have ever been defeated in a local ring. The match will be eight 10 minute rounds, best two out of three falls, Karl Cmadahl who gave Spend- love an uncomfortable 46 minutes on ‘he last card, will meet Gene Eus- ace in the semi-windup. Both men wre in hard training. Eustace who is young, strong, and aggresive has a great future in the wrestling game. Omadhl, however, is just the man to ruin any bright hopes for a young groan and grunt artist. All performers on Priday's card appeared in the ring at the seasons opener, in a match which say sev- eral of the boys flying from the ring -‘spectalora two rows from ringside.
