BASKET PALL SECRETS By Sol Metzger. When Making One-Hand Pass. NOT THIS A pass with one hand should be made with a quick snap of the wrist, as this snap gives it speed and direction. The upper illustration shows the right way to make this pass. In the lower illustration note the taut, strained position of the play- er about to start the pass. Players passing the ball in this way try to make the pass entirely with a shoulder motion. This is incorrect. Practice passing with a wrist snap. 32 QUINTS ENTERED IN CHICAGO TOURNEY By the Assoclated Pre CHICAGO, March 17.—Most of the 82 entered teams, hailing from the Maine coast to the far West, were here today for the national Catholic interscholastic basket ball tourney which gets under way at Loyola Uni- versity tomorrow.

Leaves from MuRIEL'S WOMEN IN SPOR T BY CORINNE f‘RAZIER ROVING that the unexpected P often happens, even in the best of basket ball circles, the Princess Athletic Club last night upset all dope and a record of seven years' standing by defeating the cham- oionship Metropolitan squad, 33 to 17, on the Wilson Normal School court. ‘While it was a recognized fact that the Princess tossers have been play- ing & much-improved game this year, it was not thought by most critics that they would gain a decision over the Brown and Orange. Pauline Thomas, forward, and Charlotte Hat- ton, center, both were missing from the Mets' line-up, which weakened the losers’ offensive. But the Princess tossers won their victory by putting up a brilllant fight, punctuated by spectacular combina- tlon plays and uncanny accuracy in the forward fleld, and it is doubtful if the Metropolitans, even in their full strength, could have checked their determined attack. Little scoring was done in the open- ing period, which ended 5 to 4 in favor of the I street squad. Early in the second period the Princess combination pushed forward to take the lead, which they did not again relinquish. At half time the count stood 14 to B in their favor They had increased thelr lead 7 points be- fore the third quarter closed, at 27 to 14. A last-minute attempt on the part of the Mets to strengthen their forward fleld by shifting Camille O'Hara from center came too late to be effective. Clara. Alderton, Princess right for- ward, was the high point scorer, col- lecting 20 tallies. Adelaide Boyd, ac- counted for 16 of her team’s 17 points, It was decidedly a Princess Ath. letic Club night last night. The Recreation league sextet scored a 32- to-20 victory over the Mount Vernon Church tossers in a fast contest which was staged between the halves of the feature game. Mary Ellen Totten was the chief scorer for the winners. Eastman School tossers went down fighting in thelr fracas with Gunston Hall yesterday afternoon in the lat- ter's gymnasfum. Gunston tri- umphed, 38 to 24. The hostess team held a slight lead throughout the match, which they in- creased several points in the third quarter. Eastman put up its stiffest fight In the fourth period, but was un- able to overcome the advantage al- ready gained by the winners. Mary Matheson, captain of the Gunston squad, was the outstanding player {n the victors' llne. Julia Yates and Christine Ekengren shared honors in gcoring for Eastman. Friends’ School midget squad wound up their season in a blaze of glory by nosing out the Fastman midgets in a close and exciting game play ed in the Epiphany parish house gym. The final count was 20 to 15. Betty Hoover, Catherine Hoover, Josephine Lee, Priscilla Dove, Mary Elizabeth Acker, Rith Rogers and Polly Foot composed the winning team. Eastman was represented by Alice Bowle, Florence Avis, Dorothy Gam- bell, Nancy Horton, Lorraine Little and Josephine Duckett. Miss Molesworth of Friends ref- ereed the first half and M Marbut of Eastman officlated in the closing period.
