There is a ton to be amazed with....what do you call those shots from the outside?

 

 

Parabolic set shots? Surprised the net didn't catch fire.

Just, wow. That’s amazing.
 

At least they weren’t using peach baskets.

A center jump after every basket. No shot clock. Two-handed set shots. There were 3 point plays but no such thing as a 3 point line. 

 

'Things' continue to evolve in sports and the evolution seems to come faster every year. Certainly the athletes, male and female are bigger, faster, and stronger than when the Tall Firs were hooping it up. 

 

Thanks for the blast from the past.

The crowd views of fans (nearly men only) looking like Woodrow Wilson in suits and ties is hilarious. You do have to appreciate the 30 foot set shots. Why no one thought to try and block them is beyond me. The technique last saw NBA mileage when Rick Barry hit them underhanded routinely from the foul line.  

 

N'Faly Dante would have been gravity defying and quite a shock to 1930s sensibilities.

 

Thank heavens the game has changed.

Reminds me of the Sweet River Baines skit on SNL. One of the best skits they ever did.

Those deep non-threes look like they are shooting them almost granny style. 

 

Granted the best way to shoot free throws from a statistical standpoint is to shoot them granny style. 

Had the pleasure of meeting Admiral John Dick, who was a forward for the Tall Firs, while I attended U of O. He enlisted into the Navy in WW 2 as an aviator and rose to the rank of Rear Admiral. 
 

His jersey (#18) has been retired by the Ducks, and an award in his name is given to the top defender each year. 
 

He was an advisor for the Sigma Nu fraternity and would frequently drop in to review our finances.
 

A true gentleman.
