Tiny ThornhiH to really make Lou Little and Columbia famous Clark Shaughn-essy followed in 1940 and made the so famous it took a man like Red Sanders to stick with the single wing TAYLOR MADE IT And then Chuck Taylor took his first team to Pasadena in '51 I guess it was milkshakes as a training diet he made famous The percentages seem to show that the first year is not too favorable a time for new Stanford coaches to make the big one Should wait a couple of years but then there seems little chance of Cactus Jack being imperiled Even "Chuck Taylor admits that a 5-5 record will be highly

only hope is to hurry it Look back to my college playing days and see how simple defense was then We tried to keep an opponent from getting his feet together for a two-hand set shot We tried to prevent lay-up attempts And our centers usually had to guard against hook shots only by the opposing center and then only to one side as very few were ambidextrous" Jordan adds: "There was time when a basketball giant was generally a clumsy freak nowadays we're finding many big boys maneuvering with the same grace as the smaller men Yet I believe that most of these big men still are getting by more on height than on ability and I think that unless our search for improved defense finds some better solution any player taller than 6 feet 8 inches should be barred from the game Oh sure there are

so theorizes Notre Dame Coach Johnny Jordan who says: "It is evident that today's defensive basketball player is better than his counterpart of years gone by for the simple reason that the defensive man now is meeting greater demands than ever before To fully realize the problems of modern defensive basketball you must remember how the game has evolved offensively the elimination of the center jump the 10 second rule emphasis on the fast break and more recently development of the 'goon' players and widespread use of shots we wouldn't have dared try even had we thought of 'em in my playing days 20 years ago "All these added burdens on defensive players have made coaches work harder on defense We drill defense because the kids coming into college basketball today are offensive minded This last generation has grown up practicing those once undreamed of shots and now the boys 'are deadly with them Televised basketball has suggested jump and fadeaway shots to almost every youngster in America" JORDAN ADDS "I say our defensive players are answering greater demands than before but there are some Delany Absent From Indoor Meet WASHINGTON (AP) A runner like Villanova's Ron Delany
