A common play of the long pass attack. featured by Michigan and also by Columbia in the East, oc- curs when the forwards, breaking down to receive a hatted ball fro their center, are covered. In this case the center, instead of tapping the ball to one of thg forwards, catches the high pass and makes a complete turn in_the air before alighting. Then he sets himself and makes a shot from near the foul line, the forwards driving it for the rebound. This long pass game requires more perfect timing than any other, as well as tall ghavers skilled in accurate passing and shooting and blessed with both speed and endur- ance. It was this sort of material Coach Ed Mather had at his com- mand at Michigan last vear and will have this year. Whether an effective defense for this type of play will be worked out by other conference cozches this year is one of the interesting points about the race this season. Another scheme for handling short passes. somewhat similar to the long pass style of attack. will be discussed in tomorrow’s story.
