HALTON Rip Van Winkle Goes to The Game By KEN SMITH Basketball Editor, The Daily Mirror Weaned on basketball of the professional pre-1920 era when they dribbled with both hands, often played in a huge net and one man attended to all the foul-shooting, I went to sleep like Rip Van Winkle and didn't see a college game for nearly a decade. Waking up in Brooklyn one night I found myself watching St. John's University in action. Instead of the Beckmans and Holmans of the pro days ruling the headlines, the collegians were now all the rage. Why, the boys were dribbling with one hand! Previously the amateurs dribbled with alter­ nate hands. These fellows were taking no time out on fouls. In the old days the ball was always brought back for a center jump. Nobody was heeding ( who was guarding whom. That was unheard of less than ten years before when each player was judged by the number of points his individual oppon­ ent shot. The most striking alteration to this modern Rip Van Winkle was the one-hand dexterity. The attack had certainly speeded up. The Arabs have passed from the oxen and camel era to the airplane age without coming in contact with paved roads and motor cars. Passing from the two-hand dribble days to the modern style with the ten players almost constantly gathered in the shadow of the basket was an eye-filling experience just like fly machines are to those Arabs but how puny in comparison to the kaleidoscope which has revolved before the eyes of some of these pioneer gentlemen here tonight. What changes they are viewing from what they saw in 1892! Instead of peach baskets that Phil Gardner, the janitor at Springfield College rummaged around and found in the cellar, they see glass backboards so that the game may be visible from every nook of the Garden. They watch the automatic clock and hear the score announced t.irough the amplifier. Why, in ye olde days, the referee not only kept time and score but had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball from the basket. Yale played a football game with Springfield College in Madison Sguare Garden in 1890. The boys were restless and sought a sport to keep them active Winters. That's why basketball was born. Tonight, George Bernert, of Springfield College, the game's leading historian, unfolds a game of yore through the medium of Brooklyn Central Y. M. C A. players. If you foul, you go to the sidelines until another basket is shot. I thought it was drastic ( to change the two-hand dribble to one-hand but in 1892 you couldn't dribble at all!

New York University meets St. John's in the other half of the twin bill. Manhattan and City College are now tied at three games and no losses this season in the intra-city series for the mythical Metropolitan Championship. Last season these two rivals staged one of the most thrilling games seen at the Garden when Manhattan eked out a 22 to 20 victory. City College holds a wide margin over Manhattan in the fifteen game series over a period of years, with 11 victories to 4 for the Jaspers. They are out to seek revenge for last year's close set-back, and establish themselves as the leading guintet in the metropolitan area. The guestion people are asking is: "Can the Lavendar of City College, with its slick ball handling, fast cutting type of play dent a stalwart Manhattan defense which this season has already turned back N. Y. U., Utah State and six other opponents?" The annual St. John's-N. Y. U. game is another of the awaited ancient rivalry contests of the metropolitan season. New York U. won a close 28 to 23 encounter at the garden last season. Each of these teams still have a chance to scramble the metropolitan intra-city series standing by sweeping the rest of its games with local opponents. At present St. John's and N. Y. U. are tied in the local championship race c with one victory and one defeat against metropolitan foes. St. John's, under the tutelege of Joe Lapchick in his first season as coach, and N. Y. U., handi­ capped by the loss of its stellar performer, Irwin Witty, have both started slowly, but are at peak form at present. Witty is expected to be back at a forward position with the Violets for the St. John's tilt.
