It's Freeze Play! - This Is the fourth of a series . of articles written by Forrest C. f "Phog"- Allen, director of ath letics at the University of Kan sas and, nntlonntiy known bas- . ketball coach. By Forrest C. Allen LAWRENCE, Kan., Jan. ' 29 (Pr Members of the vast nrmy or basket ball players In the United States and othor countries, numbering some 18.000,000 men and boys, have a commdn purpose namely, to throw a leather inflated sphere through a basket- and to prevent opponents from doing likewise. : But this great multitude is far from united when It comes to the terminology of the game. There Is a wide variation in the terms ap plied to plays, situations of the game and the apparatus used. At last year's meeting of the Na tional . Association of Basketball Coaches in New York the coaches agreed upon a uniform basketball terminology for the United States. Next year these- newly accepted terms -will bo made . public In the rule book. - . For instance, a play in which a player slips away from, his guard and scores a bosket unmolested Is described as a set-up. Other names given this samp play In various states aro crips, Sunday shots, guts, snow birds, lay ups, dogs, suckers, bunnys, sleepers and pot shots. COIUtlJCT T Hit MS " ' j .The word now accepted by the coaches as correct terminology. In the lists which f ol low, Is quoted . The othor1 are colloquialisms and barbarisms: , When the referee tosses the ball up , at center on a "held ball," tho play following is known as "tlp-otf," tap-off, tap, Jump ball, tosr., center tap or center Jump. In case a winning team desires to withhold the ball from the oppo nents during play in the waning moments of the gnmo it is called a "freeze," stall, bulldogglng, roping, book court game or delayed offense Describing the defensive type of play so often spoken of as the man to man stylo, "shifting" was voted correct, with trading, switching, ex changing, sliding and man -to man preferred in the order named. Tho boards back of the baskets are to bo known as "bank boards" or "back boards" or back stops,, boards or banks. "Basket" is given first rating with buckets, rims, Irons, rings, hoops, nets and strings following In order. "Zone defense" rotes first, ahead of mass, set,- territorial; accordion and elastic band, pot terms used In numy sections, - I NO MX) A I, lI,OCI(H s Formerly wo heard much of the legal block, which , doesn't exist. However, "blocking," checking, pick ing off, smothering and spiking are used to denote fouls.

In a situation where player "A' passes to his own' teammate and player "A" receives the return pass, tho play is called the "return pass," 1-3-1 pass, the shuttle or tne tri angle pass. . The "back court" is the half of tho court away from the player's basket. Back half Is the other term applied to this area.
