Every basket ball player should avoid the side-lines whenever it is poseible. The reason is obvious. When near a side-line you have but one-half the usual space to ma- neuver in that you are accustomed to. Therefore, you are much more easily goarded. In guarding a player near the side-lines, when his team has the ball, take your position directly in the court almost at right angles to him, as in. the upper {llustration. Then you can intercept all shots aimed at him and you can also cover him better if he breaks into the court. Do not place yourself along the side-line with him even if you are between him and the ball, as shown in the lower fllustration. The rea- son Is obvious. He can rush into the court whead of you and also run away from you along the side- line. . REMAINS AT TULANE. NEW ORLEANS, February 11. (). | —Clark D.

NEW YORE, February 11.—Twenty vears a champion, whose skiliful use of the cue has at various times lifted him to the peak In every department of professional billlards, Willle Hoppe has begun preparation to defend the last of his titles. His final stand, u defense of the 18.1 balk-line crown, will be made against the Belgian, Edouard Hore- mans, whose sensational matches in Chicago against Jake Schaefer for the 18.2 ttle are still fresh in the recollection of billlard followers. Win- ner of the championship in his first serfes with Schaefer, Horemans held it for only a few weeks before the American star wrested back the title, but' in those two matches the Belglan displayed so marvelous a cue that his drive for Hoppe's only remaining crown has taken added importance. Preparation for defense has caused Hoppe to abandon three-cushion play, the game he blames for the loss of the 18.2 champlonship. Hoppe lifted the 18.1 title from Muurice Vignaux at Paris in 1906, at the age of 18, but it was not until three years later that-he gained pos- session of the most coveted of the balk-line honors, the 18.2, by defeat- eorge Sutton in this city. ¢ Hoppe extended his suprem- acy to the 14.1 bulk-line realm, easily defeating all comers. This was the first title to pass from him, however, for the 141 gume, never popular wng players, was discontinued more than 10 years ago. In 1921 Schacfer deposed Hoppe as 18.2 balk-line king, but Willie re- gained the crown year later and Sorandadi it suroesstony asiinet wl challengers until last March, when Schaefer again obtained it. Hoppe refuses to conslder that he is “through” or anywhere near that stage.
