Bl Tips on Playin Correct Rule BY ED FFENSE.—TRe prime requi- site of a successful offense O consists in working the ball down the floor. This is accomplished by either passing or dribbling. The most important point to be impressed upon players is that the moment a pass has been made, the passer must advance down the floor ready to sreceive the ball again, near- er the goal. Too often among un- trained teams, a player comes into possession of the ball, and because his teammates do not start down the floor he does not know to whom to pass. I, upon recovery of the ball, the players immediately dash down the floor an offensive is launched. The ball should-be passed-to a teammate in an advantageous position. It must not be supposed that the ball is always passed forward. Many times situations arise in’which it is wise to pass to a man behind rather than to a player in front who may be guarded. — SARAZEN-HUTCH SCORE.

This darkey was witty as well as loud. One day there was a pitcher in the box for Washington who had come from the tar south. [ forget his name, but I know his first name was | Jimmy. During that week the newspapers were full of news and gossip uboyt several Iynchings down south. This old darkey rooter knew, of course, that the pitcher came from the scc- tlon where these go-called outrages had_occurred. We had three men on Lases with two out. The next Latter swung ut two curves-and misses them. It was | a tense moment for Washington. If the pitcher could get one more strike on the batter the side would be out and the game saved. There was a dead silence as the batter and pitcher stood there facing each other. You could have heard a pin drop. Williag te Be Lynched. Suddenly a loud, booming i broke the silence. “My Gawd, Mr. Jimmy,” called out the darkey rooter from the far away | bleachers, “All T asks is to git this |one over amd—and—you can lynch | me_tontght!” The whole crowd broke into a roar of laughter. Both the pitcher and batter were 8o convulsed that the batter had to step out of the box and wait. It was fully @ minute before Mister Jimmy could pitch the ball And—he got the strike over. In the deafening applause that fol- lowed we could ®ear the darkey's voiee: | “Yas, sir, T means it.

Instead of dampening their ardor the Phila- delphia bowlers and thelr friends be- came enthusiastic over the match and their manager said that they were coming down here in a special train and promised a better contest. Manager Jim Baker of the locals also belleves the Philadelphia girls will do better here, as they appeared panic-stricken by the work of the capital rollers. When the Washing- ton girls reached Philadelphia they were met by a committee. A ride around the city was followed by a banquet at the High Twelve Club, a Masenie organizatior Johnny Veath accompanied the team to Philadeiphia and his coaching dur- ing the match was invaluable, Johnny has been {ll. but ha couldn’t resist {the lure of the important’match. |_ At the conciusion of the match Lorraine Gulit of Washington and Dot Miller of Philadelphia {ndulged in a three-game contest, and the former {won handfly, with 140, 120 and 114, 13iss Miller's games were 91, 96 and i84. When it is considered that only two balls were used and Miss Gulll | had rolled in the big match, her work was of the sensational order. Probably the mext time the Terminal Yce bowlers accept a chailenge from Alexandria they will not use what they called a “No. 2" team, as they were trimmed good and plenty Satur- day night. Alexandria smashed the pins for 554, 587 and 567, a total of 1,688, while the Icemen were check- ing up 509, 545 and 488, for 1,646.

G NAVY WILL NOT ENTER COLLEGIATE REGATTA ANNAPOLIS, Md., January Rear Admiral Wilson, superintendent of the Naval Academy, has announced that the Navy crew would not take part in_the collegiate regatta this year. The objection raised by naval authorities is that, owing to the race being held June 28, it necessitates the oarsmen losing a considerable por- tion of the summer practice cruise. In many cases the same youths would lose it two or more summers. The Navy has won the regatta for the last two years, each time lowering the course record. O — COLUMBUS.
