( Typical Day itOklahoma Cage Drills . Coach Demonstrates NORMAN, Okla. The Old Man reaches in his pants pocket and carefully lays his cigarettes and his key ring on the bleacher seats, then steps out on the shiny bas ketball floor. He is bare-waisted but wears basketball shoes, long trousers and a confident exprision. "All right!" he chirps, cockily, "I'll play with the Skins. Let s go! Drake Plays Too. It is Bruce Drake, the Okla homa basketball coach and 13 years ago captain of a Big Six chamDlonshiD Oklahoma team that was all-victorious in confer ence play. Short one player, the 36-vear-old Sooner mentor decides to personally fill in as the tenth man at the fag end of the aany drill. The Sooner varsity that has won six straight Big Six games has gone In, showered, and re turns to aee the coach do his "comeback." With shouts of glee they linger along the sideline in civies to see the fun and rib Drake. Ug Roberts Speaks. "Look out there. Dad. you'll get racked!" shouts A. D. "Ug" Rob erta, the varsity's crack lorwara and cleverest lockev. "Everybody pass to the coach!" razzes big Gerald Tucker in his space-piercing tenor. "The losers buys the winners an orange squeeze!" calls Dick Reich. Wild Melee. Drake crins but pays no atten tion. The scrtmmacre starts. The coach mixes it with hla boys but seems to have lost nis touch. They Intercept his passes, block his shots and take the ball away from him. Nobody shows him any mercy. After two or three sprints up and down the biz floor, the Old Man begins to puff. He tries to drive in ior a set-up dui some vannie-an eivea him the hip and he hurtles into the bleachers, barking his shin. He is awarded a free throw at the rar end or tne court but elects to save the long walk by pegging the ball in from out of bounds where ne is stana- inc. Soon he is plavir.er a station- arv forward under his own eroal. Evervbodv on his siae respect fully throws him the ball if he is at all open. "Yah! Yah!" the varsity snriens at every pass to the coach. "Tryin' to make the ciuo:" Proves Self. Finallv tirine of the good-na tured abuse, the Old Man turns himself loose and for one thrilling nlnv tAkes the astonished specta tors back to the Bruce Drake of a dozen vears aro. nrihhiinir low ana movine last, the Old Man suddenly seems to nour himself catuke through the it . . - . rentire foe defense. l.iko a rivu let of snilled water hurrying down a groove in a sidewalk, the drib- after man and r aes in tne air iu bling oldster zig-zags past man thread the goal.
