' f g*TP»DAT. PIC. II. IHl m CMOUKA amsa NCC And Floridjf Grid Meeting Set Two Ex-Hillside Cage Stars' Bolster Eagles On Hardwood (Two fo«rier stars for Hill side high school are expected to see much action on January S Iwhen coach Floyd Brown takes his North Carolina Col iege basketball team to Peters burg for a rematch with the Virginia State Trojans. They are Joe,Alston an^ Gil bert Riley, forwards. The Bla- gles stopped the Trojans, 65-55, in a game in Durham earlier, in the season. Alston, 5’8” forward, is ex pected to give the Eagles more strength from the outside with his o»^Mna|e set-shots. Riley, a j»AieT at IubMat.has been con verted to xorward" and can be counted on tOk.]jelp bolster the. Eagles sagging ba(M»ocii^ play^. A 6’4, 200 pounder, his re bounding work will be wel comed to coach Brown’s quint who in previous games have been lax in this department. ' Shaw Unlvei-sity’s brilliant' but stunning 69 to 63 upset over North Carolina College's 1954- 55 defending CIAA basketball champions leaves the Eagles with a 1-1 conference record to carry into their rematch with Shelton Matthews’ Trojans. In the Shaw game Dec. 9, the Bears’ Charley Hall racked up 21 points to pace an attack that netted 10 the opening minutes. NCC trailed at half- time by 38-32 but in ^ite of Carleton “Ding Dong” Bell’s high of 22 points, the Eagles weren’t able to take the mea sure of the inspired Bears. Brown’s Eagles have height and speed, but to date he has not developed a combination that clicks with the precision of cagers who’ve played toge- ther.^ The upset by Shaw is re- miniffcent of last season’ll second game setback at the claw of the Maryland State Hawks. The Hawks whipped NCC 79 to 65, but the Eagles recovered and went on to win their second CIAA visitation championship in two years.

Two — Give the player who wins the race to the opponents’ end of the court the privilege of throwing a penny in the wishing well.” Neglected and Ignored, says Hank in his SPORT artiele, are clever team play, fundamentals of passing, footwork and drib- bing, and — most noticeably — the steel mesh defense of form er days. “‘A one-armed paper-hanger could count on his finger the players this season who depend on fitne^ and a thorough knowl edge of the game to help their teams win. Offhand, I can think of only five players recent years who were excellent passers. sity and posting a ten-game un defeated, untied season. dribblers, defensive men — and shooters. These fijye are Ravph Beard of Kentucky, Tom Gola of LaSalle, K. C. Jones of last year’s Iftiiversity of San Fran cisco NCAA champions, Johnny O’Brien 6f Seattle" ana~^li5iJ*oll- ard of Stanford. Luisetti points out that one the few coaches who emphasized defense last season was PhU Woolpert of the University of San Francisco. Woolpert and the USF team won the National legiate Athletic Associatios^p. SPORT magazine lists tbfe five fundamentals (in orderybf im portance) which Luiseffi thinks are a ‘“must” for aQgr^^tstand- ing basketball player: 1. Leam to pass. 2. Leam ciiapge of direction and footwork.' 3. Lean to pivot. 4. Leam to reverse turn. 5. Leam to shoot. (And that’s where it belongs on the list, insists- Hank.) ' Luisettl’s idea of a basketball team is one that operates as a teamt one.that has a thorough grounding on all fundamentals; one that has been coached to an alert defense, and a smoothly clicking offense; and one on which there is no emphasis on which player can add up to the highest point total. sions when they raised the “stop” sign on the Eisenhower occa-' Administration.

DAY OF .1 HITTER PlSr,' SAYSvWlilfBK NEW YORK 'eball will never have an- r .400 hitter,” says the cur- issue of SPOKT magazine, here's why; ite all the talk about the , too many things work 'gainst the high-average hitter, SPORT says. One of the things working against the hitter, and pointed out by SPORT, is the improve ment in baseball fielding. The baseball clinics now held by virtually all major-league clubs for the benefits of their young minor-league farmhands bring rookies to the majors in a more polished stage of development. Item number two scored by SPORT is the vastly superior gloves worn by today’s players. At one time the glove was main ly a protective device. Now a glove is an efficient, magnetic trap for the ball. Stricter scoring is yet another handicap to the high-average hitter. Modern-day pitching is no help to the hitter, either.

Also says SPORT, pitchers throw harder today, make little effort to conserve their strength. The pitcher knows relief is in sight as soon as he weakens. Another result of pttohtm pattern is that It ters to hit against liveries and styles in game, and this often can I their timing and swing.
