Show INTERVIEWS with BASKET-BALL BOYS Questions 1. How many miles do you run in a game? Lo you ever take any inter- prat ive leaps? Does it make you nervous to have your best girl in the grandstand, or does it spur you on? Does it make you angry when you make a foul? What is the first tling you think of when you are given the ball, and are ready to start for the basket;- Do you think you are a good basketball player? What position do you play on the team? Have you ever broken training rules? Do you prefer to have people yell with spirit, or do you like everything quiet? 10. Is it possible to have a one man team, or does every man have to cooperate? Says Jack Wecker: About two or three miles. No--we aren't taught grace, even though it might help. If one is trying to play a a good game or does play a good game, he can't think of two things at a time. If you really commit a foul, it doesn't matter, but if the umpire makes a mistake it makes you become quite hot under the collar. First, see if anyone is closer to the basket to pass to; if not, make it. It all depends on what you think a good player is. Forward. No--at least I try not to. It's swell to know that someone is behind you, but if every¬one is yelling so much that you can't hear the umpire's whistle, no player likes it. 10. Every man must cooperate. One man might make a lot of points and may be called a one man team, but the other players help him male the points in some way or the other. He also must cooperate to make points. Says Clair Weyment: One and a half or two miles. No—We don't go in for fancy stuff. It doesn't make me nervous; it's kind of inspiring. No, unless a wrong foul is called—then I'm plenty sore. If there is anyone nearer the basket, I throw it to him; if not I try to make it myself. Well, I try awfully hard. Gaurd. Yes, I'll say I have. I'd rather know tl t the students are behind me in the game. 10. I think it's impossible. |
