Class by Itself Chief Aim
to Disorganize Foes by
Setting Faster Pace
By O. OTT ROMNEV
Director of Athletics and
Basketball Coach,
Brlgham Yc.ng University
Written for the United Press
PORVO, Utah (UP) For spectator
appeal, players' fun, and premature
senility for coaches, the type of bas
ketball played In the Rocky Moun
tains generally Is conceded to be In
a class by Iself,
It has been called the "forty-or-
no-play" system. It does accumu
late points.
While the psychological emphasis
is all offensive, the game Is built
on a sound man-to-man, cover-them-
rlght-where-they-are defensive.
Each Player a Forward
Under this seemingly unplanned
system, every player is a forward
when his side has the ball. There are
five guards when the opposition se
cures possession of It.
The chief offensive aim Is to out-
race and disorganize orthodox posi
tion defenses. Both long and short
passes are used to meet different slt-
ustlons.
Since practically every team has a
so-called back guard, we always have
this man deep In offensive tt..1tory.
When we start the ball down the
floor we Invariably have one to three
men In vital offensive positions,
As often as possible a long hook-pass
Is used to advance the ball two-
thirds the length of the floor.
Quick Passing
If we get the ball behind the de
fense, or so that we out-number the
defensive men by two to one, or three
to one, or three to two, we drive in
to the basket quickly. If the long
pass Is unsuccessful, we resort to de
liberate attempts to break In rough
for short shots. This Is done by
quick passing, clever ball manipula
tion, screening, and feinting.
Plays are set. Principles are not.
Skillful handling of the ball In
the fingers, drastic restriction of the
dribble, great versatility In shooting,
every player must be a good marks
man, every shot considered an op
tional pass, and a relentless follow
up are vital to the style of play.
Three very tall men and two of
somewhat shorter physique, all with
"good hands," fast and possessing
stamina to carry on doggedly for 40
strenuous minutes, make the Ideal
team combination.

WASHINGTON. D. O. fSpl.)
Warned by a large landslide that the
walls of the Arcopolls are weakening,
modern Athens la planning to rein
force with new buttress the north
and east walls of this ruin-crowned
plateau which dominates the city.
"It will be aeons before mere
weather fissures can destroy this
time-defying collection of ruins,
which has survived the attacks of
barbarians, gunpowder and light
ning." aays a bulletin from the Wash
ington, D. C. headquarters of the
National Geographic Society. "Al
though greatly changed from the
once magnificent temples with delicately-colored
friezes above glisten
ing columns, the remnlnlng edifices
on the Arcopolls still awe the be
holder Into contemplation of the
days when this plateau was covered
with the most beautiful art of Greek
antiquity. ,
Due to Phidias and Pericles
"In the days of the early Greeks,
almost every Greek city had Its Arco
polls, or fortified 'upper city.'
"The Arcopolls of Athens looms be
side the modern city as a rugged
limestone plateau, approximately
1.000 by 500 feet. About 512 feet
above sea level. It Is an excellent
vantage point. From It, one can look
across busy Athens white houses,
vineyards, and groves of figs and
olives to the encircling purple hills,
scarred with white gashes of marble
quarries; and far beyond them to
the glittering blue Aegean sea.
"Partly girdled by strong walls, the
Arcopolls afforded splendid protec
tion to early Athenians fleeing from
land Invaders and pirates. Two paral
lel 'Long Walls', built' about 250
yards apart and approximately 60
feet high. Insured communication at
all times with Piraeus, approximate
ly six miles away, which, then as
now, was Athens' harbor and a
source of food supply. In return for
the protection of the Arcopolls,
grateful Athenians erected on Its
temples and statues sacred to Athena
Poliaa, 'guardian of the State.
"Between 445 B. C. and 431 B. C
the Arcopolls was at the height of
Its grandeur. While a trcnty held the
restless Spartans at bay, the aes'
thetle ruler, Pericles, commissioned
the sculptor Phidias to beautify the
sanctuary,
Stiitue Sighted 45 Miles A way
"On Mount Pentellcus, a marble
mountain ten miles off, great drums
of blue-veined white marble were
cut, rolled down inclines and hauled
with great effort up to the Acropo
lis to be chiseled Into thousands of
majestic, lifelike statues and noble
temples. So beautiful were these
works of art that their magnificent
fragments form Athen's chief lure
for present day visitors. Where
throngs of Greeks once worshipped
Athena, architects and artists from
overy country flock annually to seek
Inspiration from the remains of her
temples: the Immense, now golden
hued columns that soar into the
clear blue sky or lie broken among
the popples.

Yawning Woman
Goes To Sleep
On Eighth Day
STERLING, 111., Dec. 19. (AP)
News: Mrs. Harold McKee yawn
ed once last night and went to
sleep.
For more than eight days her
strange marathon yawning .afflic
tion has necessitated the use of
sedatives to bring sleep. But last
night the yawn waa natural and
physicians said they believed her
well along the road to recovery.
Dr. H. 1. Pettlt announced that
she would leave the hospital to
day or tomorrow, barring a re
lapse. She suffered a si lght attack
earlier last evening, but physicians
were not alarmed.
temls, and the delicate alry-looklng
temple of Athena Victory. The Ereca
theum, with the roof of its porch
supported lightly on the erect heads
of i marble dancing girls, was not
, completed until later.
"Near-by towered the huge bronze
monument of Athena. From Cape
Sunlum ( Colonna ) , 45 miles away,
people could not see the Acropolis
itself, but It Is said they could see
the sun glittering on the crest of
the statue's helmet. It was the first
glimpse returning Athenians had of
their city.
Epitome of Art"
"Crowning the summit of the
Acropolis loomed the Parthenon, with
17 strong simple columns on each
side, 8 at each end. To view Its lone
ly ruins drenched In moonlight Is to
realize why It has been considered
the 'most majestic of ' man's archi
tectural achievements,' and 'the epi
tome of classic Greek art.' In It stood
a large statue of Athena, which had
draperies of gold, flesh of Ivory, and
probably Jewels for eyes.
"It Is unpredictable what the un
finished Acropolis might have become
If there had been no Interruption to
its decoration. However, a broken
treaty made Athenians law down cha
els and take up arms. Farmers flee
ing into the Acropolis watched Spar
tans burn the surrounding fields and
homes, and later, tear down the Long
Walls. Though spared, the Acropolis
was doomed from then on.
"In the 5th century A. D. the Par
thenon was converted Into a Chris
tian church, with a gallery added for
women. ' When the Turks occupied
Athens, about 1458 A. D., they used
the Erechtheum to shelter a harem,
and stored their powder In the Par
thenon. Besieged by the Venetians,
they razed the temple of the Ath
ena Victory In 1687 to build stronger
fortifications. That year a Venetian
bomb, exploding the stored powder,
blew up a large part of the Parthen
on. In the unroofed ruin, the Turks
built a domed mosque with a min
aret, from which rang the muezzin's
call. Previous to that, lightning had
damaged the propylaea, and aa lata
as 1794 builders made lime of Its
columns. In the 18th century, the
space between the few remaining
shrines was covered with low squalid
houses and narrow streets.
"In spite of all these vandalisms,
the Acropolis managed to retain for
this more appreciative age valuable
relics of Its past glory. In about 1801
Lord Elgin carried off to England for
safe-keeping the treasures known as
The Elgin Marbles. In 1835 the de
stroyed temple of Athena Victory
was reconstructed, and since then
the majestic ruins of the Parthenon
and other edifices have been restored
as accurately as possible according to
ancient descriptions."
