(Former Basketball Coach of Chicago
University)
Interseotional basketball:
That's what the spectators like. It
gives them variety and contrast.
The main trouble has been when East
meets West that they differ in rulesi
They should be standardized. The
cage game is fastest in the Middle
West.
In an Intersectional tournament the
busiest bird on the court is the official
who tries to keep the players in good
humor.
The interpretation of rules usuaiy,'
has local angles. Jnst what makes a
run and a block is judged dilfcrculy
in different localities.
Technique Differ x
Guarding from behind, the dribble,
the pivot and other fine points are
variously Interpreted.
tage ball fans rot . their moneys
, worth last season at Chicago's inter
' scholastic tourney.
f The northern Michigan peninsula I
teams use a short two-yard pass which"!
is al right around the grocery store
stove. But on a big court the players
burn up their speed and energies before
the basket is reached.
The southern teams are used to play
ing outdoors. They have floor space
but can't judge baskets in close sur
roundings. Team Play Vins
Pennsylvania and West Virginia
have heavy defensive teams,, Long
shooting and floor speed beats them.
The Michigan. Minnesota and Illi
nois fives lean to individual stars. 13ut
stop the star and they don't score.
The corn-fed teams from Indiana
and Nebraska earn honors with team
play.
Ohio teams show polish and are well
schooled in fundamentals.
West Has Edge
Rocky Mountain fives have phenom
enal endurance for the short pass. It
proves a winner for them.
The Pacific coast grows teams with
great physical power.
While the Kast excels in technique
the faster fives are found in the Mid
dle West.
Here the officiating is a little keener
and faster. Then the climatic condi
tions are better adapted to the floor
same in which speed and endurance
are so necessary.
