Throughout the game Baker re- peatedly fed the ball to his team- mates even though he war in a posi- tion to score. This strategy thwarted the Towa defense, which had been ordered to guard Baker at all costs. Two men kept continually on his heels during the game, his left Fisher and White compar- v free, and Baker tossed the ball to them whenever he got his hands on As a _result “Moon” went score- , and he dropped to sixth place {n coring column. while Fisher, his mate, bolstered his average with seven field goals and raised himself from tenth to seventh position.
