The purpose of the player in pass- ing zig-zag or diagonally across court is to draw the defense out of their regular position. Then a pivot or floor bounce to another player, who criss-crosses, will enable the of- fense to work In more,definite lanes tward the basket.

BAYLOCK'S FIVE OPENING SEASON Aggies Play New Hampshire To- night-Local Boy Gaptain —— (Bpectal to the Herald.) .

With Captain Baylock, forme: New Britaln hjgh star at the helm Connecticut 1s looking forward to one of her best seasons on the court As nane of last years players were lost by graduation, all the members of last season's team are out for the squad as well as the new material from last year's freshman team. With such welth of good material, there {s keen competition for all positions and those that play will have earned their positions. Under “Petey” Baylock's good leadership and Coach Dole's able coaching, Conpecticut’s quintet is fast rounding into shape for this season's extra heavy schedule. Bay- lock has Schofleld, former star at Crosby high of Waterbury, for his running mate at forward. In prac- tice they have shown themselves to be a perfect pair for fast floorwork and accurate shooting and will give any team plenty of opposition that tries to stop them. Eddy, former Simsbury high star and tackle on the “AN Connecticut Valley” eleven as picked by the Hartford Courant this last season, is jumping center for the Aggies this season for the third year. At guard Bitgood and O'Brien will probably start. Bitgood is a veteran from last year's squad while O'Brien is playing his fourth | season with the Aggle machine. On Jan. 14th Connecticut journeys to Springfleld to play the Y., M. col- lege quintet and on the 17th will méet Wesleyan at Storrs.

The Freshman Team Preliminary to the New Hamp- |shire U. game Friday night Connec- ticut's freshman team, will break the jce when they meet Trinity's junior varsity at Storrs. Coach Alexander, freshman coach, has been working hard to find the best possible combination in the large number out for the freshman squad. With good material from all the leading high schools in the state, now cntered at Connecticut, it has been a long job to select the best material. “Hal" Hadley, former captain of Wilby high of Waterhury is holding down the forward berth with Eddy. At center, Willlams, {s undisputed in his position, while Heller and Bit- |good will start at guard. Among the games scheduled for the freshmen varsity are Taft, Suf- field, Roxbury and Westminister &chools and fréshmen team from | Yale, Brown, Springfield and R.
