Denver Dec. 21—Speaking as
a man who has coached both ma
ny a year, long, lean Cam Hen
derson contends that good bas
ket is harder to teach than good
football.
Henderson coaches at Marshall
College in West Virginia where
his fullback, Jackie Hunt, led the
nation’s football scorers with 162
points this season.
He brought his Marshall cagers
out to Denver to play in a three
night intersectional program with
Oregon State, New Mexico and
three Colorado schools.
Pursuing his theme, Hender
son said: “To begin with, a bas
ketball player must have quicker |

Henderson much prefers the
. zone type of basketball play to the 1
, man-for-man style.
“In the zone you play for the
; ball, in the man-for-man you play
for the man,” he said. “This makes
a rougher game and contrary to
, what many think, isn’t as fast a
, game as under the zero style.”
Marshall last season played
nearly 30 games and won all but
; three, defeating Southern Cali
fornia, Tennessee and City of New
York among others.

Operations have reached a peak
unattained in years except per

1937. More and more mills are
adding third shifts. Plants that
have been idle for months are
reopening. Gone, for the present,
