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-

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
