LOOP A110 WW PlAVEQ HA4 -tur nil rwnwi i OALU LEAVER fHtrll By SOL METZGER Foul shooting Is Important. Every member of the basketball five is called upon ta try for baskets from the foul-line.

The chest shot is preferred because it is also the best shot from scrimmage. The player stands erect but relaxed, his fingers holding the ball chest high. The hands are perfectly balanced on opposite sides of the ball. To start the shot the player dips a bit and then shoots by pushing his arms almost straight up, all the while riveting his eyes on the spot he wishes the ball to strike. The grip is entirely with the fin- eer and thumb tips.

They best sense the weight of the ball and impart to it the necessary muscular effort I to place it where desired. As the arms go up the hands are also swung upward from the wrists to impart the necessary high loop and down-spin. This downspin causes the ball to shoot down and throueh the basket, instead of rebounding from the backboard. Tomorrow Principle of defense. (US) 8 9.

HOPKINS HAS SOME FAST STEPPERS And because of the fine open Winter with February more like) Spring bettpr than some of the Springs of recrnt years filled with many rain storms horses have not been restricted to shed work but have been cantered and breezed on the tracks. The two-year olds, full of colti.sh spirits, arc doing exceptionally well and are rradv to show their speed. As usual, Freddie Hopkins is well advanced with his youngsters.

I am Informed thnt the popular young Whitney trainer has some real speedsters In his bunch. While I doubt whether he will have one that will come up to Equipoise, still hl Juveniirs are usually ready for races In the Spring at Bowie and Havrs de Grace. Those who have seen Equipoise claim thnt he has filled out and "let down" considerably during the Winter. This should help him a good bit in his quest for gold and glory this Summer. He was a trifle light In the barrel last Spring.

But the fact that he went on and on, from April to November, shows what a tough knockabout colt he was In 1930. He had a campalen that would have placed on the shelf many an-other two-year-old. MATE IS AN EQUINE PICTl'ItE While the horsemen In Maryland are singing the praises of Equipoise there is always an extra chirp here and there on behalf of Mate. From all accounts A. C.

Bostwick'a fine colt has developed Into one that fills the eye to the full by his size and conformation. This fellow which finished third in The Futurity and third in the Plmlico Futurity and won the Walden Handcap and a number of other events for a total of $58,850 is biKRcr and more robust looking than Equipoise. It's no use at this time to go into extcr.dt'd details regarding Equipoise's and Mate's chances for the Kentucky Derby. That race will not take place until Saturday. May 18.

Many things are Jikely to happen in the interim. The fart that both colls have wintered well and that they are in training not only for the Derby but for the Prenkness insures a start in those events if they mert with no mishap In training. Their chances will be reviewed fully as well as those of Twenty Grand, Ornicsbv and others in the middle of March. The Maryland Racing Commission has officially sanctioned the eighth renewal of the Inntiirural Handicap, a neven-fiirlonp sprint, which will feature the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association's opening program at Bowie on March 31. toir vnliiahlai stakes during its 11-day meeting of the Spring, besides rich overnight handicaps.

B'klyn Trr Cant Play, But Furey Saves Day Coach Harold Furey, of the the. Loughlin hockey team, did the real sporting thing and saved the Catholic High Schools Athletic Association from embarrassment when he refused to accept a default from Brooklyn Prep in the final game of the championship playoffs which was scheduled for last night at the Brooklyn Ice Palace. According to the rules of discipline maintained at Brooklyn Prep, no athletic teams are allowed to compete on weekday nishts Father Jacobs, head of th Crown Heights school, forbade his team to play and instructed it to default the championship if forced to. There was also some talk that Brooklyn Prep would withdraw from the C. H.

S. A. A. if the default was accepted. But the crucial situation never materialized.

Last night Loughlin lined up on the ice and Referee John O'Leary blew his whistle and looked for the Brooklyn Prep team, which only a magician could produce at that moment. O'Leary then conferred with Brother Luke, head of the Catholic body, as to what he should do. O'Leary was told to offer Loughlin a default, bui instead Coach Furey requested that another date be set, as he did not wish to win a title under such circumstances. So next Friday night, and also next Saturday If needs be, the teams will play for the title. of there was nothing to the race but his grasshopping legs going over the sticks with plenty of feet to spare.

The real struggle was always be hind him, for place. And young Lee Sentman of the University of Illl nois, with a form that was as poetic as that of Lord David Burghley in leaping from barrier to barrier, had to eat his heart out in a vain at tempt to defend his title, with John Morriss from Chris eagle's South western Louisiana Institute and Gene Record of Harvard driving down the stretch like a pair of jack rabbits gone berserk as they chased him who had been the wolf of the field a year ago. PERCY was most; SURPRISED OF ALL After the race Percy was told he had broken the record. In fact, he first knew about it when they brought him the robin's egg blue sheet to sign his name to the application for fond approval of the A. A.

U. elders who go over indoor records with a vacuum cleaner, a fine-toothed comb and a stethoscope. "Gee," said Percy, raising a lean hand to scratch, in his nervousness, a generous ear set upon a long, lean head, "I didn't know I went that fast." "You know," he said, in a burst of garrulousness, "those didn't seem like high hurdles tonight. I'd put one foot over and haul the other one after and a couple of bounds and then I was doing it again. Funny, in practice you think of form and the number of strides between sticks and all that sort of thing and in a race you just go out and lift them up and put them down." His record made Percy very happy, but it also made him amazingly humble.

But very likely he'll get over that. Track has a habit of curing any stage fright among the athletes who break records. CHAPMAN'S LEG PUSHES COAN The Penn medley relay team broke a record in the 1-mile dash, gallop, pace and trot. But while Coan ran a. 4:17 mile on the last leg which nobody would sneeze at, Law-son Robertson's boys owe Russell Chapman of Bates a heart filled with thanksgiving.

Russell was given the ironic honor of running out to a 20-yard lead in the half-mile leg before passing along his stick. He aid it in This put it up to Coan to po forth to do great deeds because Wallace Viles of Bates, while not not the fastest miler in the world, was not to be taken in any patronizing mood with a 20-yard head start behind him.

Howard wears no shoe or sock upon his right foot but keeps it In a state of nature.

He is at least a half a barefoot boy with cheek of tan. HALF-SHOD MARVEL IN HIGH JUMP "Why do you keep your right foot bare?" one asked him, gabbling with curiosity. "Oh, that?" he said without cracking smile. "I don't like a shoe on mv rizht foot." "But I never heard of a high Jumper leaping off a naked right one protested. This seemed to distress him.

"But I Jump better with it bare," he said, "even outdoors, although a pebble now and then bothers it, you know." "But why do you wear a shoe on the other foot, then?" one continued, obstinately. "Well, I like it better that way," he answered, seriously. "I start my run with the left foot and seem to get going better. Maybe I'm kidding myself." He pondered the idea for a moment and then sighed with relief. -But I don't think I am." At any rate Howard is quite a jumper, and no doubt the coach at Geneva would let him jump with two bare feet or on crutches, so Ion? as he did 6 feet 5 inches.

After all that was a quarter of an inch better than the indoor championship meet record. Leo Lermond, who hasn't won a rare this year against major opposition in fact, I believe he has only won one race since New Year's pulled every single cork out of a dismayed though distinguished field In the two-mile, dethroning beaming Bronx Quintets Win Community Center Crowns George Rotundo Is your man if you are that kind of a person and must nave a hero for everything, for it was George's field goal and foul shot, on the same play, in the last 30 seconds of an overtime period that crowned the Community Center 75 basketball team senior division champions of the city and turned a valiant band of Brooklyn Ites wearing the colors of Commu nity Center 220 into just runners-up in the Stuyvesant High School gymnasium last night.

Joe McCluskey of Fordham, the defending champion, and holding his own pace in an insane race which forced Gus Moore, the Brooklyn Harrier Negro, to quit, panting like a big Mogul locomotive. This was the race to which Joe McCluskey transferred his entry from the two-mile steeplechase to get another crack at Moore, who all season had been his Nemesis.

But, as so often happens in races where a pair of stout-hearted boys set out to kill each other off for sweet revenge, it was Leo who ran off with the show. And, make no mistake about it, Leo ran off with the show was right. The time of that two miles made the crowd suck in its breath in a gusty sigh of dumbfoundment if there is such a word, although I guess you get what I mean. The time, be it recorded, was 9 minutes 114-5 seconds. ONLY WISE LEO BIDED IIIS TIME The Insanity began when Clark S.

Chamberlain of Michigan State College started out to try to run the two miles in about 8:30 fiat. At first he and Moore Jockeyed back and forth, but Clark didn't get discouraged. He simply stepped out to a 4:30 3-5 mile and actually turned on the gas going into the first quarter of the second long, long trail. At this point Gus began to see red. Never having run against Chamberiain and not knowing the boy's limitations, he threw caution to the winds, went after him and beyond.

Now it was that Joe McCluskey began fo get anxious. He, too, opened up the throttle and for a lap the three of them actually sprinted, with at least five furlongs still to go. Meanwhile Leo was nodding his head, tucking in his chin and padding along in fourth place, so far behind that a few of the more optimistic or thoughtless began to feel sorry for him. They might have saved their tears. Chamberlain came right back at Moore, who was beginning to fly a distress signal.

McCluskey came up like a raging torpedo boat destroyer. He was not to be headed off and a moment later Moore staggered off the track. LERMOND SPRINTED AND LAUGHED LAST But beaming Joe from Fordham was having his own troubles. Long before Johnny McHugh had banged the gun for the last lap, Leo Lermond was opening up his kick. He didn't seem to be going so fast.

Rather he seemed to have Joe tied to a string that he was winding in to pull him bar. Joe came ba to with an explosion that rocked the crowd. No longer beaming, white agony upon his face, Joe tried to call up his sprint, too, but he had left it far behind when he and Moore and Chamberlain had had their brainstorm. Fresh as the daisies that will soon be burgeoning on the pastoral slopes of Prospect Park, Leo called upon his legs to get going places to see things, and how they went! Proving that the race Is not always to the swift and Is, after all, sometimes to the wise. The only man In the whole field who Judged his own pace was Leo.

He beat them all badly In by refusing to nibble at the suicidal bait dangled in front of him by a boy from out West who staggered home, a poor third. behUid a wobbly; McCluskey who was a bad second.

Harry Lewis, holding down No. 1 for the military unit, was responsible for ten of his home team tallies. Henry Koch, who was high scorer for the losers with three markers, played well for the Columbia trio but could do little to stop the furious onslaught of the visitors. The lineup: Cl.AHS Po.
