"THE INTERNATIONAL GROWTH OF BASKETBALL"

By De. Fewest C.. Alden
Head Basketball Coach, Univ. of Kans,

Perhaps there is no game in all the world that enjoys the
same possibilities for international uniformity as does basketball.
Why not include this sport on our next Olympic calendar? Los
Angeles in 195<.

At present, it is estimated by authorities that there are
eighteen million people playing this indoor game,

India, France, Italy, Japan, the Phillippine Islands, Chine,
Persia, Czechoslovakia, Turkey, Greece, Mexico, Canada, Poland,
Russia, and Germany, as well as the South American countries, have
been playing basketball for several years and today are turning
out creditable teams.

Some of these countries had their introduction to the game
of basketball almost simultaneous with the inventor's first draft.
The first printed copy of the baskctball rules appeared in "The
Triangle", the International Yai.C.A. school paper, Springrieid,
Massachusetts, in 1892. At this time, Dr. James Naismith and
Dr. Luther H. Gulick were co-editors of the Triangle, and, because
of lack of available funds for printing, they deemed it both wise
and expedient to gct the rules in printed form in this way.

Because of this and because of its origin at Springfield,
basketball has spread uniformly to all nations of the globe. The
Y.M.C.A. secretaries who were sent out from the Springfield school
carried the knowledge of the game along with their other work into
"511 the world" and taught its principles to all peoples.

Duncan Patton, a "Y" graduate, implanted the game in India,
in 1894. Emil Thies, another graduate of the Springfield Y.M.C.A.
school returned to his native country, France, in 1895, and es-
tablished the game there. In 1898, Dr. F. N. Seerley, at present
Dean of the Springfield, Massachusetts Y.M.C.A. Training School,
secured a leave of absence to spend the year in France. During
Dr. Seerley's stay in the land of the fleur-de-lis, he did much
to extend the interests of basketball--already well established
by Thies. Italy has played the game for a number of years--per-
haps taking up the game through contact with its neighbor, France.

At the Inter-allied Games in the Pershing Stadium, outside
of Paris, in June, 1919, the United States, in 4 series of games
for the championship, defeated both France and Italy.

Ishakawa, another "Y" student, took the game to Japan, his
native land, in 1900. Ernest Quigley, the National League umpire
and major sports official, several months ago wrote me from Japan
that basketball had taken an unusual hold upon the Orientals. He
stated that great throngs of spectators attend all games.

Our United States soldiers established basketball in the
Philippine Islands during the same year that Ishakawa took it to
his land of Japan.

China is indebted for the game to four men, Galey, Robertson,
Exner, and Siler. Robert Galcy, a former center in football at
Princeton, left Springfield in 1904 for Tientsin to establish both
missions and the game of basketball in North China. J. Robertson,
in 1905, followed his colleague to Tientsin to assist in the inten-

give development of this work. Dr. Max. J. Exner, a medical

missionary, went to East China in 1908, and figured prominently in

tho cxtensive development of the game there. Dr. Charles Siler, a

Faisee cage Athlete, and also a medical missionary, left the states
in 7.912, China-bound, to add a further eontribution to the game, in
tn3 wey of his personal knowledge of scientific basketball.

C, Herek, another Springficld man, transplanted the game in
Persia as early as 1901. In 1924, Roberts College in Constanvinople
became the first college in a forcign land to incorporate basketball
in ite curriculum. Chester N. Tobin has done much for the game in
Turkey. In 1924, he brought about the publication of the first
translation of the American Basketball Rules into the Turkish
language. Many of the pictures of American players were reproduced
in this Book of Putes,

Today, the game is enjoying a rapid and enthusiastic growth
in the land of the Moslem. Louis W. Riess has done for Greece what
Tobin did for Turkey. He has translated the American game into
Greek. Salonica was the birthplace of basketball in Greece.

The game in Mexico is well established. H. C. Aguirre of the
University of Mexico, City of Mexico, and 7. B. Rodriguez, at
Chiluahua, both graduates of the Y.M.C.A. school at Springfield,
have done much to promote the game in that republic. At present we
are in communication with Mexican basketball teams who are desiring
to make a tour through the United States.

In Canada, hockey is the big game among the men, although
basketball is growing in proportion to the growth of indoor play-
ing space, much of which is now under construction in the dominion.

Canada possesses the World's Champion Girls! Basketball Team
in the personnel of the Commercial Grades of Edmonton, Alberta.

This team has successfully defended its laurels both in this country
and in Europe. Coach J. P. Page has tutored this quintette for
eight or nine years.

After the Armistice was signed, two American teams, by in-
vitation from the British government, demonstrated basketball in the
British area of the war zone. The English took to it readily, dn
the earlier days in England, basketball was introduced as a girl's
game. Until a little more than a decade ago, the British did not
know that there was a game of basketball for men.

In Poland and Russia, where the cold weather prohibits out-
door play, the lack of large indoor playing spaces is q4 hindrance to
the game. Czechoslovakia received the game with open arms in 1920.

In the last decade, the World War has contributed its share
of advancement to the play program of Germany. Many years have
passed since the American Army of Occupation vacated German soil,
tut it left behind something that it could not take away. That
something was the American enthusiasm for Sports and Games. The
results of the Olympic Games of 1928 verify the above assertion.
Germany assembled the largest Olympic group of competitive partici-
pants for the try-outs, ef any country in the world. A wap-weary
world turned “en masse" to recreation through sports and games.

Very early we learned that the whole is equal to the sum of
its parts. Basketball is one of these parts. Germany is now taking
up basketball with an enthusiasm unsurpassed. To the immense pop-
ulation in her crowded and congested areas this sport has particular

gymnasiums have for cconturies been the gathering places for her

Basketball 1s Olympic bound,

Thc Gorman physique, big and powerful, and the German mind,

The only thing that will prevent the rapsd growth of basketball in
Germary will be her failure to build large arenas rapidly enough
to ixecp pace with her enthusiasm for her new national play-progrem.

These groups are official units of the Associa-
tion and are entitled to elect one delegate and
one alternate to the Representative Assembly
for each 100 of their members, or major frac-
tion thereof, who are active members of the
National Education Association up to 500 such

Platform of the National Education Association

THE CHILD—Every child, regardless of race, belief, economic status, residence, or physical handicap, should
have the opportunity for fullest development in mental, moral, and physical health, and in the attitudes,
knowledge, and skills essential for individual happiness and effective citizenship.

THE TEACHER—Teachers, regardless of position pr title, are professional workers in a common cause,
and, as such, have certain responsibilities and rights. The interests of the child and of the profession
require: Teachers of sound character and good hdalth, with high civic ideals, who have been effectively
trained. Teachers who have the professional attitude in regard to selfimprovement and who are guaran-
teed the Constitutional rights of freedom of speech, press, and assembly. Teachers who are protected,
in case of disability or old age, by means of retirement plans. Teachers who are protected from discharge
for political, religious, personal, or other unjust reasons by effective tenure laws.

THE, ADULT—Ikt is essential that the adult be schooled in the fundamentals of education, be made re-
sponsive to the demands upon him as a citizen, and be enabled to give guidance to youth. The Association
advocates concerted local, state, and national efforts to attain these ends through adult education.

ADMINISTRATION—A combination of national, state, and local support of public schools is necessary
to provide adequate educational opportunities in all sections of the states. For maximum effectiveness
the Association believes that: The national government should study, stimulate, and support education
in the interest of a high type of citizenship. The state government should organize, direct, and support
education within the state. The local district should organize and administer its school system in con-
formity with the standards set by the state.

RELATIONSHIPS—Education should prepare each generation to meet the social, economic, and political
problems of an ever-changing world. To establish through education closer relationship of people, the
Association advocates: Programs to interpret tothe community the aims, practices, and achievements
of the schools; national movements among parehts and teachers to safeguard the welfare of children
and to bring school, home, and community intp closer cooperation; a World Education Association
that will encourage systematic interchange of professional knowledge, visits, and conferences; teaching
children the truth about war, its costs in human life and ideals and in material wealth, the value of
peace, and the need of international cooperation; the teaching of history in such a manner that will
emphasize the achievements of all nations and increase international goodwill.

Excerpts from platform adopted by Representative Assembly, Detroit convention, July 1, 1937.

course that requires on the average 24 to 26 hours,
he shall have completed 24 hours; if he is registered
in a course that requires on the average 27 to 32
hours, he shall have completed 27 hours; if he is

entrance requirements of his college, but who is re-
quired to take a non-credit subject, may count that

member of any college athletic team during any
semester in college who does not continue in attend-
ance the full semester or quarter of his participation

contest thereafter until the expiration of one calen-
dar year from the time he withdrew from school.

year in any intercollegiate event shall cause that
year to count as one of the three allotted years.

letics for more than three college years in the ag-
gregate, the three years to begin with the first
term or semester of the year in which he first par-
ticipates. It shall be understood that if a man
enters college in the second term or semester, his

college year begins with the second term or semester.

2. Playing on a team or against a team in a contest
in which either one of the institutions represented
ranks above high school grade shall count as partici-
pation.

College shall not count, unless against a team whose

n
participate in intercollegiate athletics who:

shall be ineligible to represent his college in ath-
letic contests who engages in such contests unat-
tached or as a representative of any athletic organ-
ization not connected with his college, whether in
term time or vacation. Provided, however, that a
student may be allowed to participate unattached
or as a representative of an outside amateur athletic
organization during the summer vacation, if he has
secured permission from the faculty representative
of the institution involved.

2. Interpretations.

a. Playing on an alumni team against his own
high school team in a game under the super-
vision of the high school management shall not
be considered a violation of this rule.

b. Playing on any regularly organized team not
connected with the college or taking part in
any bout, match, tournament, or exhibition not
directly under the control of the institution
either in term time or during the short vacation
shall be considered disqualifying competition.

c. Playing in a golf or tennis tournament of a
club of which an athlete is a member of one or
more years’ standing, or of such an athlete’s
home town or city club, shall not be disqualify-
ing participation provided: ;

(1) That such participation does not in any
way represent the institution,

(2) That such athlete is not at the time a
member of any team or teams in any
sport engaged upon a schedule of meets,
games, or tournaments, and

(3) That he shall have secured in writing.the

11
approval of the faculty representative for
such participation.
VIII. AMATEUR RULE.

contest who has ever used, or is using his knowledge
of athletics or his athletic skill for gain, or who
has taken part in any athletic contest in which a
money prize was offered.

ing contest in which professionals participated on

cause he is an athlete,

ditioned upon the service’s being performed in
advance of the payment, or

d. Any payment for services at greater than
reasonable and current rates.

2. No student shall participate in any intercollegiate

_ contest who has ever received a loan, scholarship
aid, remission of fees, or employment merely be-
cause he is an athlete or through channels not open
to non-athletes equally with athletes.

X. RECRUITING.

1. By Alumni and Friends. The Conference is op-
posed to the recruiting of prospective students by
alumni and friends, when the reason for such re-
cruiting is that the prospective students are athletes.
The conference will make continued and positive ef-
forts to eliminate such recruiting.

2. By Members of Athletic Staffs. Members of ath-
letic staffs shall not recruit prospective athletes.
The following are submitted as typical examples of
recruiting:

a. Urging enrollment through initiating corres-
pondence, direct conference or indirect message.

12

 
b. Promising employment, loans, scholarships or
remission of fees.

c. Indirectly contacting prospective athletes by
suggesting to alumni or friends that they en-
deavor to recruit them.

w Staff members shall avoid the appearance of re-

cruiting. Evidence that a staff member has been
guilty of recruiting shall be considered grounds for
action discontinuing the scheduling of contests with
those teams with which he is connected or for
which he has been recruiting.
Regulations governing recruiting by staff members
are designed to relieve the coaches of any sugges-
tion of responsibility for recruiting material for
their teams.

XI. MIGRANT ATHLETES. © Before a migrant athlete
from an institution above high school grade, except from
a strictly organized junior college, may participate he
shall establish beyond reasonable doubt that his mi-
gration had no undue connection with athletic participa-
tion. When an athlete considers transferring to an-
other institution he shall communicate with the authori-
ties of the institution in which he proposes to enroll,
pointing out the reason or reasons for such transfer,
whereupon it shall be the duty of the authorities of such
institution, if a member of this conference, to ascertain
through correspondence the validity of the reason or
reasons for such transfer. Failure om the part of the
migrant athlete, or on the part of the institution, to com-
ply with the provision of this section shall render such
migrant athlete ineligible for further athletic participa-
tion in this conference.

XII. PROCEDURE.

1. When the faculty representative of a member in-
stitution is in doubt as to the interpretation of a
rule in a case of eligibility, he shall refer the case
to the Conference Eligibility Committee.

2. Staff members shall report to their faculty repre-
sentatives all rumors of violations of eligibility rules
or of irregularities in their administration.

18
3. When a faculty representative hears such a rumor
from any source he shall report it to the faculty
representative of the school involved, who shall
conduct a thorough investigation, to ascertain the
facts in the case, and take appropriate action.

4. Evidence of violation of the eligibility regulations
shall be considered adequate grounds for disciplin-
ary action by the Conference. The faculty represen-
tatives may, by a two-thirds vote, instruct the ath-

. letic directors to discontinue the scheduling of con-
tests with a member -institution which has Cen
guilty of such violation.
