Our nrst glimpse into the
Chicago’s Annual Nisei Invita­
tional Basketball Tournament
has convinced us more than ever
that we do not belong in the
same class.
As a matter of fact, we are
so far behind that it is almost a
futile thing for any attempt to
.close up the wide gap between
us.
We came back thoroughly impressed with their
of
basketball. Those Americans are
demons at dribbling. They drib­
ble that ball with smooth wafting taps without even bothering
to look at the ball. Even with
two checks on a man he can
still dribble that ball away, And

they top this off with a real
class of ballhandling, teamwork
and shooting-. Perhaps the most
was the speed and, effort they
put into the game.
