up on his man in the closing minutes which was fatal. I still maintain that the team which controls the rebounds and dogs the ball will win. Every man should become obsessed with that idea. My theory on scoring from guard is this. Instead of passing, followed by a fake and then a break for the basket every time, mix it up a little more. Do quite a bit of faking, break a few steps, then step back and around for a set shot, or relief of a man who is tied up. Using this procedure you will find that when you actually do make an all out break for the basket you will leave your man more easily. Also watch for the opportunity of being the second rather than the first player to cut for scoring territory, always preceded by a fake to get your guard off balance. All this, of course, would be conditioned somewhat by your coache's own theory of offense. Since noon today it has been snowing quite heavily. This is the first bad weather we have had this week. Three or four successive days of good flying conditions this time of year around Narragansett
