Due to the ease with whieh negative defense points can be accumulated
the efficiencies for defense are low. Tho composite officioncy, like last year's
efficiency, is based on the net positive points and nogative points that are
earned during the entire game. The composite efficiency rating seems to parallel
the game score more closely than some of the other itomse :

A close examination of the statisties of the game with Team D will lead
one to wonder just how the Kansas team won the game. Tho story is told in goals
made where the home team made two more than the opposition. The remaining statis-
tics are largely in favor of Team De

In the middle of the scason there was some question about the numbor of
violationse It seemed that the number of violations was too low and it was tho
opinion that our observers were missing a few violations. Without discussing the
matter with the observers, a check was made during the game with Team F and both
sets of observers had nine violations on the Kansas team charged against the same
boyse We realize the data cannot be more accurate than our observers and this
check on the violations indicate that our boys were noticing the game rather closelye

Table IV shows the player analysis for twelve players, A few more
players were used in the home contests, but all had less than 20 minutes of playing
time to their credit and were not ineluded in the present tablee The number (sec
Table IV) preceding the dash in the various columns represents the individual 's
rank in relation to the other members of the squade

The scoring ability index as showm in column 2 is based upon goals and
free throws made and is computed as shown in the first study under definition of
tormse If two boys each made 25 goals, the one with the highest percentage of made
shots will have the highest scoring ability indexe

By changing the order of some of the data it is possible to make some
player comparison between the two seasons!’ play on the same basise

who did not finish the season, did make improvemente

The evaluation points per minute (see Table TV) earned during the play-
jing season show how active the individual was, while the composite efficiency shows
how well the individual performed his taskse

The players of visiting teams were rated on the fow items which are
shown in Table Ve The table is limited to players who played at least 15 ninutes
during the game, The table (V) divides itself naturally into @hree groups:
