' ruary in California. ed Crisscross Offense. crlss Teams that use the cross oiTeiiso usually have as their team shot the breast shot. The player foot stops nhruptly in a run, front in a slight point In-- tow ard the basket, He holds the hall at his croiieli. chest with liiii,'ers and thumbs, palms free, behind the ball. Wrists tire straight, elbows in. Hands, arms, legs and the whole body come Into play when the shot is made. As the ball Is delivered the hands point toward the basket, palms away from the face, arms, body and legs extended In a complete "follow through." Somewhat similar Is the chest shot. This Is probably the fastest Ions shot in general use. and one every player should know, writes Mitchell V. Charnley In the American P.oy. The ball is held at the chest, fingers slightly behind the ball's center. The power In the shot coniei from a sudden nap of the arms, wrists and hands, with both arms following through behind the ball. Hody nnd leg position aren't a part of this shot, ordinarily; and there are a dozen A valuable one Is that variations. from a running man shoot a letting Hie oau im.i.v snoots lie position. at the highest point In a jump. The underhand "loop shot" Isn't much used any more, because guard- ing is becoming so cHicieiit. If you're depending a go.nl deal on such a shot, Jo'.fd do well to substitute one of the breast shots for it. I ast year Coach II. It. Tabor of the petiton Township (III.) high school had on his team a forward who was particularly g I at long shots. Moreover, he came up to the basket for his short shots like a flash, and seemed to have all the making of a line short-sho- t man. P.ut Coach Tabor found that invariably this forward Carini Iioss was his name executed one part of the slmt badly, and missed many baskets. Iioss always made his jump at the basket for a short shot more like a broad Jump than a high Jump. He would puss under the backstop alM est before he had heaved the ball at the hoop, and because of this style he had to pitch It from a distance of several feet Instead of from the very rim. Moreover, he always tried to turn In the air so as to come back onto (hp floor for the rebound. So Coach Tabor gave Iloss. and others on the team who hud the same fault, hours of drill In the proper method of executing a short shot. He player, to taught Itoss, h fake off from his left foot at ,n-- t the proper distance from the basket. He taught 1dm to make use of the extra imhes the erossboy stretch gate him - the added height he got by taking off from the left foot and shooting with the right hand extended up at full length. Poss learned to go almost straight Up; to give the ball n litlle oxorhat.ded shove at the highest point of the Jump ami "lay" It in the basket ; to throw his shoulders back a little to break lis forward speed He learned to send the ball off the tips of hi piigers and thumb, palm to the front, atid '. shoot it only five or six inches above the basket. And he harried fn pivot back onto Ihe lloor. instead of trying to turn in the air. The turn was had. because !t presented the foniplete follow, through the hort shot demands P,e. si 'es. ti e short shot Is supposed to s execution mt;t b,. successful. ;,li'l be based mi the theory that It will be So the turn IsrTJ i;,iss so,, n found that, rightly itii'ed It was successful.
