Conelusions

From the study of these facts ascertained through careful -
reeording and tabulation I have reached the following conclusions:
4, Tt is obvious that the eenter tip is of too great an
advantage to the teams with tall centers. Neisht alone should not
add eight points of superiority to any team, ‘hen I first started

to work on this subject, the center tip was in vogue, At that

time I recommended its elimination by one of two methods, T he

first was the metuod now used and the second was that the jump at
enter be retained, but that there be rotation of jumping between
centers, forwards, 2nd guards, In my estimation, the complete
elimination of the center jump has speeded up the game to such an
extent that it has proved too strenuous for hich senool players

and has mode the coBleme gare one of constant substitution, By

using the rotation jumping the play would return to the 1936-37 gine

but the competition would be rendered more even,
