Text Appearing Before Image:
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION BASKET BALL. 117 Plate No. 11. Illustrates a man pursuing the ball out ofbounds. His opponent, who is a little bit late,tries to prevent his securing the ball by hippinghim. It is a superfluous and unnecessary piece ofroughness, for possession of the ball depends notupon who touches it first when out of bounds,but upon who crosses the line first nearest theball. Officials will do well to discourage thissort of thing by the instant use of the whistle.
Text Appearing After Image:
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION BASKET BALL. 119 Plate No. 12. Illustrates the use of the elbow to temporarilydisable an opponent. The man in front is drib-bling; the man in the rear, while attempting tocover as best he can, comes within range and isthe recipient of an elbow in the solar-plexus.Needless to say, he is temporarily disabled. Theelbow figures in many other plays, and requiresa sharp-eyed official to detect it. It is dirtyplay of the worst description.
