The American Boy Magazine, r. 0 There isn't a "best" way to start on the basket ball floor. Any technique that gets you into actin fast is the one to use. Dodging, pivoting, turning, are the things you'll need to work on, writes Mitchell V. Charn-le- 0 V) in the American Boy Magazine. Many fellows find the proper execution of a pivot dlfflcult. It Is not so hard, really. What it requires is a stance, a good grip firm, on the floor witii'Xhe shoes, a rapid whirl on one foot that gives you a new facing. There are a dozen kinds of pivots. The legal block pivot is the one in which you throw your hips Into the hip of an attacker just as A , three-quarte- r pivot you whirl. takes you almost all the way around and lets you pass in the direction you originally faced. Circumstances govern the kind of pivot you'll need, and you cun pretty well suit your footwork to the exact case. But practice on footwork. There are two kinds of stops, one from a regular running stride which consists of planting the forward foot and throwing the body back it may be combined readily with a pivot or turn and another which is effected by a short forward Jump bringing both feet down flat, body bent back. which gives A "set-up- " footwork practice comes in well in training periods. Here is a good one: Put a guard at the foul line and advance an offensive man dribbling at the basket. When this man reaches the guard he may stop, pivot, or fake a pivot and pass to a man trailing has a guard him. Another "set-up- " to cover a man dribbling to the side line ; there the man may either execute a pivot or pass to a trailer. Every branch of offense depends on every other branch, and a player can't be at his best in shooting if he's below his best in passing, or footwork, or dribbling. That's why personal per cent has to be developed why you won't be of most offensive value to your team unless your own personal per cent In each branch Is up just about as high as you can possibly bring It So work on all. But don't think that, because you've developed offensive ability, you're necessarily all you'll need to be. Last year Coach Louis G. Wilke, down In Bartlesville, Okla., had nothing but small men for his high school team. Pretty good small men, some of them lighting and But Billy Julian and Buddy Foster, the two first string forwards, had serious defensive weaknesses, and prob ably, If Coach Wllke had had eapabU substitutes at the start of the season, he'd not have used Julian and Foster, The difficulty with these two men was that they had a habit of rushing their opponents on defense. When they saw a man on the other side charging their way with the ball, they lunged out toward. him at a terrific rate and frequently saw the oppo nent dribble or dodge past safely. o O, (Copyright, W.
