Swe: Thorlief Haug, Norwegian skiini In the continuation of the hockey series, Canada, now favorite to carry off the honors, defeated Switzerland, 33 to 0, and Eungland routed Belgium, 20 to 3. In the hockey match it was just a case of going through the motions for the Canadiaw.. The score might have been a hundred to nothing, it seemed, had the victors devoted thelr energies to scoring instead of bend- ing all their efforts toward putting the finishing touches on thelr com- bination work, experimenting with fancy methods of stick handling and shooting from difficult angles. 34 Skilers Take Part.

They fear- ed the effort of the long race might prejudice their chances in the ski Jumps, in which they are especially anxious to make a g showing. It was clear and cold today, the temperature at aboul zero Fahrenheit at sunrise. ~ There was virtually no wind in the sheltered valley, although the clouds of snow which' were swept off from the sur- rounding peaks testified to the gales blowing above. French Sled Champion Hurt. Count De La Fregolie the French bobsled champion and cabtain of the French entry in the Olympic bob- sled contests, broke an arm while practicing this morning on a light- ning fast chute, and a member of his crew suffered a fract d skull The sled shot over the edge at turn, spilling the crew while going at_high speed While competing in skiing events the nish milit skiler, Mattila, rrowly escaped serious in- shooting down a sharp foot ity at the bottom of which he burfed snow for veral minutes before being rescued by conirades.

How can accuracy be de shooting baskets? Answered by DR. FORREST ALLEN Director_of athletics, University of Kansas. His team won the cham- plonship in its mection last year and haw- been undefeated for twenty- meven strnight games. * % % % ‘“Ar¢hyour shot” is the first and last admonition in basket shooting accuracy. Draw an imaginary arc from your hands to about eighteen inches above the center of the basket. Aim at the basket with the ball following this arc. When “playing the board,” strive to lay the ball against the backboard easily. Handle the ball as if it were an egg. The diagrammed backboard aids materially in practice, as the players soon learn to visualize “shooting lanes.” Basket shooting accuracy requires the training of the accessory groups of finger and wrist muscles rather than the heavier groups. Finesse in finger and wrist movements is as essential to the successful basket ball player as it is to the successful pianist. The tiniest muscles of every finger tip should have “basket ball sense.
