Man-to- Maa Defense.
I will briefly discuss the different
defenses: Tlie man-tor man defense
is tlie old style type and probably tlie
one used first, in tills formation each
man lias a certain opponent lie is re
sponsible for and stays with until the
ball is recovered. At first the guards
took cure of the offensive forwards,
tlie center tlie offensive center, etc.,
but now (hut lias been slightly chang-
ed. This sort of defense caused the
defensive players to do much need-
less running in following their par
tieular men Now, the defense do not
follow their men all over the floor,
but change in other words, the de-
fensive man takes the offensive per-
son nearest to him. Teams now line
up to form a five-man defense, but
when tlie offense lias started each
man takes the nearest opponent This
eliminates much unnecessary running
around. Tlie guards cover their men
until they get out in front of tlie first
line of the five-man defense. Under
tlie old style, tlie guards would stay
witli their men until the ball was re-
covered. This defense is still used by
some teams. Those using a five-man
defense should revert to this man for-
man defense to break up the stalling
game. The defense then must pick u
man and stay with him.
The Four-Man Defense.
The four-man defense Is used most
ly on the Pacific Coast and seemingly
to good advantage. The idea of the
four-man defense is to keep one play-
er past) the center of the court so
when the ball is recovered the offense
can he started and get down to the |
| basket before a defense can form,
is based on the theory that
| offense is the best defense

( (itir'C <ii Study for Rural Schools
That Are Doing High School
Work.
The principal and teachers of high
school work In Matagorda County
have long felt tlie need of a definite
lilan whereby all the schools of the
county would lie working on tlie same
course ot study for high school at the
same time.
For example, in order to make a
longer recitation period for the
classes It It necessary to alternate
studies by years, such as. giving an-
cient history to both eighth and nintli
grades, one year modern history to
theme grades the following year. etc.
While many of our schools were doing
that, we found they were not all
using the same studies on the same
years. The teachers were also desir-
ous of standardizing the rural school
work so that pupils might without
difficulty enter tlie accredited schools
of the county, to finish out four years
of work.
Tlie following committee met in an-
swer to cull from tlie county superin-
tendent at her office Saturday. Jan-
uary l(i. for the purpose of outlining
a county high school course of study:
R. E. Coffin, Van Vleck; Guy Wynn.
Clemville; Mrs. George Clements, Mid
fields; W F. Pack, Wadsworth; Mr.
C E. Lucas, principal of Blessing
schools, being in the office kindly
gave some advice and assistance. Mr.
Coffin was elected chairman of tlie
committee, Mrs. ( lemelits secretary.
After canvassing tlie subjects being
taught this year in Hie various schools
tlie following plan was adopted:
1. History. For the year 1926-27
all two and three-vear high schools
will teach ancient history in elfchtli
and ninth grades 'Jjtnl ined Modern
history will lie taugl.t on the inter-
vening years. Any school having
taught undent history for tlie term of
1925-26 may combine all classes
American history for 1926-27 and
adjust themselves to the schedule.
Mathematics. All schools teach
year algebra in eighth grade,
Teach second year algebra

The Key to Knowledge.
There are probably us many differ-
ent ways of getting un education as
there are of making pickles. One
may acquire it rustling about Hie
crowded streets of a great city. A log

good books well read and studied amination which she took in Decem-
this is enough, is it not, to suggest to
all of us a great and noble figure and
a most plissant and wonderful mind? I
Then there are tlie colleges. Never Alden Phillips, principul of Great

■' .. Mr. Phillips is
always seeking some method of self-
improvement in Ills work. He rarely
leaves the office without some maga-
zine. book, or pamphlet giving Infor-
' mation along some special line of
work.
Language Latin or
Spanish, the latter advisable, a two
year course to lie given where no sci-
ence is taught. A new
begun every second year.
5. English. Follow the state course
of study but combine all classes tn a
study of tlie classics using suggested
selections from each grade every year
Tlie work as out lined by the com
miltee will be taken up September,
1926.
