NOT THIY B My — Some forwards are so intent upon getting away from their opponent guard that they work so far away from him that they are unable to cover the guard should the tip-off go to him. Furthermore, the guard, see- ing their purpose, can cover them. The way for the forward to free himself of the guard is to keep work- ing toward him until the right mo- ment arrives. Then he cuts rapidly in the direction he wishes to take and leaves the guard flat-footed. In the upper illustration the forward, in striped jersey, is in a position to feint and break clear of his guard. The same forward in the lower 1l- lustration Is too far away from his guard. The latter can easily cover him. Two North Carolinians Join Eloise Sargent, center; Edna | Star Boys Club Iges from Greenshoro, N.
