SPORTS. POWERS NOW. SPLIT WITH 3 INTERGOLLEGIATE BODY Remains to Be Seen Whether Two Organizations Will Overlap or If One Shall Go—Athletes Should Have Part, Authority Declares BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Again, they may somewhat political—as well as ideal interest to the critical observer. It remains to be seen whether there shall be two organizations Which at present more or less overlap, whether there shull be one - The'In- tercollegiate Athletic Assoclation holds sway over- scholastic and col- leglate fleld and track.. The N. C. A. A. would have one organization in_control of field and track, base ball, foot ball, basket ball’and, all the sports. ‘Want Athletes to Share. There is at least one man -who has | been éminent in_college sport who feels that the National Collegiate Athletic Association errs in refusing to consider in any way the viewpeint of the actual participant in college athletice—i. e.. the boy.

It is when overardent alumni with money to spend inject themselves in- to thé intercollegiate situation, and | when facuities give little intelligent | attention and no sympathy at all to undergraduate sports that some bal- ance for the boys is needed. So far as may appear the N. C. A. A. alms to be such a balance wheel. The question to be decided is how well qualified the association Is for the work. Tt will be a delicate undertak- ing.

To be a good for- ward, a player must catch well, pass accurately, dribbble smoothly, cut fast, and, above all else, have the lability to score. A forward must be able to shoot,and shoot fast, from any position on the floor tlose to the basket when he has an oppor- tunity to score. His are very rarely set shots with plenty of time to aim.

It is his business to be free whenever the ball comes into possession of his team. He must be ever on the alert to dash into ‘unoccupied sec- tions of the floor, ready to receive passes made to him, or to the spot where he is expected to be on a set play. If the ball passes to the other side, then the situation is re- versed. The forward must get on the defense at once. Madly tear- ing around the floor is not. good bas- ket ball.
