By MAURICE KENT Basket Ball Coach, Northwestern University. First of all, no scrimmage, because scrimmage allows players to fall into decided errors which are extremely difficult to correct later on. I belleve that the first two weeks should be devoted to - shooting, handling the ball and pivoting: general floor work. Any drill which emphasizes these three things is helpful. It takes at leant two weeks to get the feel of the ball and feel of the floor. With these two things grasped, a player makes them a part of his instinct and it requires no comscious thought his part to move accurately and han- dle the ball. ASSAIC, cit, P Ernest A. Blood, the coach w! So far the Wool City five has kept on winning chiefly, it would seem, because it has had the beneflt of Blood’s coach- ing in recent years and knows the style of play he teaches. But in most sports where a change of the sort has been made a time comes when the dope, for some mysterious reason, is lost, and the winning outfit returns to average in the matter of de- feat and victory. Will Passaic continue her winning course under Marks, or will a day come eason, or more likely next, when the players hear the final whistle blow and stare with blanched, wondering faces at the sinister figure of defeat? Victories Held Secomdary. Ernest P~od will not presume to an- | swer this question. He insists that the winning of games is but incidental to the development of good sportsmanship, sound physique and character through competition. Blood is still director of | physical training in the Passaic schools, and thus has general oversight over | coaching, but he is doing no active work in this respect. = | Not every echool board would be S0 large natured as to consent to a request such as Blood made to be relieved of responsibility of coaching in basket ball, especially in view of his unvarying suc- cess. It would seem to indicate either that the board would be inclined to ac- cept some defeats as being for the good of the eouls of these boys or that they repose implicit faith in the new coach’s ability to keep up the winning process. Blood himself feels that in one way it would be'a good thing were the record of sequential victerles to be broken in order that the strain upon the players might be eased. The team of each year feels it has been | it This man is an extraordinary coach shevond all doubt.

Road Arranges for More Power on Heavy Grades Over Mountains. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, January 12.—The Bal- timore and Ohio, which holds the dis- tinction of being the pioneer in elec- trification as carried out in the Belt Line tunnel under Baltimore 30 years ago, has decided to make its next step in this direction on the Cumberland- Grafton division, where heavy freight is carried over steep mountain grades that tax to the limit the heavy en- gines on duty there. Officials are now engaged in carry ing to completion the $5,000,000 elec trification of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Company, plans for which cover 33,000 volts, three-phase, 60- ovycle power supply to five railway substations for feeding a 600-volt third rail. The Baltimore and Ohio work at Staten Island along this line is re- garded as worthy to compare with the Belt Line achievement, in 1895, which served as the model upon which John B.

Special Dispateh to The Star. NEW YORK, -Pro duction of electric power in this country now is about at the highest point ever known. Nevertheless cen- tral stations are adding tremendo 1y to their facilities cars for an even greater demand. Power is be- ing preduced at the rate of approx imately 5,100,000,000 kilowatt hours a month and the corporations gaged in this industry have raised 1,200,000,000 in the last vear to add to extensions and additions of gen- erating and distributing equipment. Some of the largest plants ever built will be put into commission during the present year and an enor- mous volu of mew construct will be started nuary 1 to Cheaper Current Scen. This volume of production ing to power experts, points to cheap- er current, since the Increased use of electricity by consumers has flat tened out the peak load each stat must prepare to mect. This has come about because the 1924 brought a comparatively in er. in k load compared with MASE Whian 5,000,000 c0c s hAAe (o e use of current resulted creased requirements for tation, industrial and do Doses other than lightin Domestic Demand Expands. Extreme importance is attached domestic use of current by central stations company executives in pre- paring for the current year. “Nearly a thousand day were added to electric service lines in New York State in ghe Jast year,” M. S Sloan, president of the Brookly i ison Co., said today, “and 10,000,000 000 kilowatt hours of electricity were used. In every equipped for electric service there is a potential saving of years of hard service through use of washing machi vacuum cleaners and a dozen other modern appliances.” Charles B. Dubois, president of the Western Electric Co., in discussing the fact that the corporation had broken all records last year by sales totaling $300,000,000, said that much of this business had been due to or- ders for telepho but that while he expected smaller orders of this sort in 1925, he anticipated a greater volume of business in household equipment, due to the steadily in- creasing use of electrical products. Several Huge Projects. Virtually every section of the Na- tion has niew hydro-electric pla this year. The Wilson Dam plant at Muscle Shoals will be finished tember.” Two other tremendous plants on which work will be pushed are tho San Joaquin River projects of the Southern California Ed Comp d .the Conowingo Dam of the Susquehanna Power Cor Maryland The building these and plants has necessitated the ment of many electrical engineeri featur ‘Among these are uniqus meters for measuring use of currer for different purposes, including kilovolt ampere meter and the hour meter. New methods of driv- ing steel mills. rubber mills, paper mills and of drilling for oil by elec tricity have been devised. Elevator equipment has been perfected which will allow of a speed of 1,000 feet a minute. The domestic flat iron has not been neglected and may now have its heat regulated automatically by thermostatic control.
