Dr. Allen, one of the nation's most successful basketball coaches, asserted the "set" play, rather than passing on, is growing in ase.

"High

selioo! boys have played the game for a long time without regard to the fundamentals of ball handling," he said. "Now they are beginning to learn the principles. Set plays are dependent upon these principles. Timing is the basis of all successful team play, whether it is basketball, football or ather games."

Ho believes now, however, that the theory

of veinous photography, will prove most practical. The volns of the eye, either of the conjunctiva or the external eye, will permit of repli examination and their comparison with records, taken in advance, will permit the authorities to determine whether or not a substitution has been made on the race track.
