from the basket, one is thirty, one is forty-five
and one is sixty. You can't shoot inside the fifteen foot circle, but
from outside of it is one point, from outside the thirty foot circle is
two points, and outside the forty-five foot circle is three points.
That's why the different scores.
54 You have seven men on each team, two on defense and five on offense.

to bounce it or pass it. You can't strike a member of the opposing team
with any part of your body. if you do, that's a foul. And the man
fouled gets a free shot from the fifteen foot line that's good for two
points. That's about it."

sandwiches we have sliced smoked Red Bird on white bread, or sharp
cheese on spice bread."
60 She handed each man a menu card. Bullet wasn't sure whether this
particular Brotherhood ate meat or not, but to be on the safe side, he
ordered the cheese sandwiches, and some milk with a salad. They had
hardly finished
