Assuming that time spent and opinion as to impor- tance of professional training in teaching activities is a valid base, the following activities, in the order listed, namely; basketball, football, track, softball, hygiene, tumbling, modified games, baseball, gynmastics and volleyball would appear to deserve a great amount of the time given to preparing the teachers in the duties they will perform when they get out into the field. 5. There is a need for rhythmic activities in the training of teachers. Gymnastic and tap dancing received a generous rating which means that if time spent in teach- ing and opinion as to importance of professional training in the activity are to be taken as criteria, the teacher in training should be provided ample opportunity to gain skill in this type of activity. 6. Although the present sromres of physical education is bikin considered more and more as one of informal activity, this study shows that there is still need for cpenerine teachers to have training in the types of activity which for years have been considered formal in nature; nemely, calisthenics, gymnastics, apparatus and tumbling.

Tempe, Ariz. 595 in. in. in. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada. The Chairman of the Committee on Research and Visual Investigation wishes to report that never before has there been as much serious, studied investigation into the troublesome aspects of basket ball by both coaches and committee members as there has been this past year. Herewith submitted are the findings of two exhibition games between the University of Kansas and Kansas State College. The suggested changes in rules that were used in these clinic games were - First - The basket will be 12 ft. above the floor instead of 10 ft. (This is supposed to equalize the height of the players, making the tall players shoot instead of tipping the ball in the goal. It also requires more arch on the shots.) Second - The placing of the baskets six feet inside of the playing field instead of two feet. (This would cut down the number of out-of-bound balls, and provide room back of the basket for play of the ball.) Third ~ Permit an offended team to throw for the basket in the half of the court where the foul was committed. Fourth - Have all jump balls taken to one of three spotsson the playing floor - the two foul-shooting marks and the center spot. Around two-foot circles at these points draw aiz foot circles to hold other players away from the jumpers until ‘the ball is tapped. Fifth - Change the scoring of field goals to three points, the free throw remaining at one. I am attaching a copy of the cards distributed to the spectators at these games, on which they might express their opinions regarding the changes. A compilation of the cards returned showed on the 12 ft. baskets 574 expressed opposition and 224 voiced their approval. On the 11 ft. baskets, 354 voted no and 184 yes. On the held balls and jump balls being thrown up in the restraining circles 500 voted yes and 430 no. On throwing free throws for personal fouls in the half of court in which foul is made, 526 were favorable and 296 opposed. On having goals moved in 6 ft. from end line instead = 2 ft., 614 voted yes and 202 no. « + All of the suggested changes met with the approval of the spectators with the exception of the 12 ft. baskets. The moving of the basket in from the end line 6 ft. instead of 2 ft, received the most favorable yote. Visiting coaches, officials and newspaper men were al- most unanimous in their approval of the moving of goals in 6 ft. The rules as used in the clinic games might not have the same effect on high school basket ball as on the college game. In a great number of high schools the ceilings would be too low to permit the raising of the baskets and the average high school court is so short that moving the baskets in would shorten the court too much. It would be quite an expense to change the courts all over the country and this item would have to be taken into account in the case of the high schools. One other change in rules used in these games was that of allowing 15 minutes for intermission instead of ten. This provides more time for the players to rest between halves. . | Although the effect of the new rules on the whole seemed t@ be slight, the position of the basket nearer the center of the floor had a tendency to speed up play. The defensive team with less territory to guard was able to force the offensive team to pass the ball. oe ; fhe reaction on the 12 ft. baskets was that there are too few tall players in the country to make a change that would handicap all of the players. It was the opinion of some of the spectators that the bringing of the ball to the circles for held and jump balis slowed up the game, but the greater number favored the change. Also, attached are the findings of the eight home conference championship gamem played by Kansas. By rather a queer arrangement of our conference schedule, two home games each were played with Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas State while Nebraska and Iowa State were met but once. ' One special project for study was to find the number of held or jump balls that occurred in a regu- lation game. By comparing the number of center jumps with the tie ball or held ball jumps it was hoped that some added in- formation might be obtained which would aid the committee in a more comprehensive determination of the center jump problem. It is a prima facie fact that the more even jumping ratio is obtained at center where the coach places his best jumper. On held balls over the court it is thinkable » Se that two very unevenly matched opponents might be aligned against each other. The findings were that in eight conference home games there were 257 center jumps as compared to 165 jumps from held ball plays. In other words there were just two thirds as many held ball jumps as there were center jumps in these eight champion- ship games. — : The second project was the determination concerning the number of times the ball went out of bounds at the end of the court. (a) Would it have gone out of bounds if goals were set in 4 ft. from end line? (b) Would it have gone out of bounds if goals were set in 6 ft. from the end line? The projected 4 ft. baskets reduced the out of bounds balls 45% and the 6 ft. projected baskets reduced out of bounds balls exactly 50%. From a close study of the collected data there seems to be no apparent reason for projected 6 ft. baskets. over the 4 ft. extendd baskets. However, from the standpoint of a. of movement of the players after recovery of the ball every indication was in favor of the 6 ft. projected basket. The 6 ft. projected basket permitted the player taking the ball off of the bank to take a step with entire freedom or to pivot or circle out around his opponent behind the board which was not possible under the 4 ft. projected basket. As a result of this added feature much of the roughness that now exists around the basket, such as charging, blocking and pushing out of bounds will be largely eliminated. Your Chairman would like to see such an siete we an entire conference group and the findings printed early enough to permit such data as is necessary to be included in the annual questionnaire. The other remaining pro- jects perhaps should not be considered too seriously because of the fact that Kansas and Nebraska did not use the post play at all. Missouri used the double post, set outside of the free throw lane while only Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas State resorted to the bucket play. Hence, it will be seen that fouls resulting from the post play and the violations of the three-second rule post play were perhaps only about one-half of what they would have been had both opposing teams resorted to this set procedure. The re- maining investigations on the other studies attempted are about in line with accepted data in other parts of the country. Some research printer has determined that a picture is 609 times as strong as a printed word, hence my suggestion that our committee exercise itself more definitely on added Visualisation data. We owe much to lir. H. V. Porter who has pioneered with this highly speesens nee cinema work without ex- pense to our organization. owever, the chief function of his pictures as I saw it was to iron out difficulties on interpretations for his national and state high school federation. Much of that work does not touch the moot points of adult college and associate play. By electing the best from college screen and interscholastic ~4a play, I am sure that we will be able to obtain shots of play situations that eventually can be agreed upon as suitable material for the guide. | ; = We basket ball people owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Ned Irish, the promoter of basket ball in Madison Square Garden. The eight intersectional games that Mr, Irish | promoted in the Garden drew 99,955 just 45 short of 100,000 the first season out. The best parts of the melting pot attractions were the clear action pietures taken depicting the intersectional differences of offensive and defensive play permitted by outstand-~ ing sectional officials. Until we were able to view these differ- enees on the sereen it seemed unbelievable that such a wide lati- tude of play interpretations existed. By reproducing shorts from these action pictures and augmenting them with necessary contro~- versial aspects of the game much good can be accomplished. The National Association of Basket Ball Coaches is also working on a set of pictures hoping to have them viewed by this body for interpretation or correction. The Coaches of the country have contri- buted much research work through their own Research Committee. Notable among them has been the work of Everett Dean of Indiana who contributed the paper on "The Effect of Muscular Steadiness Upon Shooting Accuracy." Pierce Works of the University of Cali- fornia, Los Angeles, did "Method of Analyzing Offensive Efficiency", while John W. Bum of Stanford contributed two treatises upon "Study of Play at the End Lines" and "Comparison of Fatigue Effects of Two Types of Basket Ball Floors." | | Your Chairman on Research and Visual Investigation wishes to thank the members of the committee for their hearty cooperation and support, especially Mr. Porter for his sereen play interpretation projects and Mr. Rowe for his re- port on, "Study of Special Interpretation of Rules."
