They believe that by doing away
with the center Jump, the dribble,

and the stall, all of the bad features
of the game will disappear.

the visitors to one field basket and
tying the score for the period by

eral subs in the last quarter and
this also was very evenly played each
team making two field baskets. Cove
made two foul shots for a two-point
lead for the quarter. The Union
coach started the game with Zaugg.
