F.C. Allen gave the results of work sponsored by the Big Six Conference in con-
nection with wing all jumps in one of thé three restraining circles and in con-
nection with the length of time consumed in bringing the ball across the center
division linee He also reported that considerable work had been done in connection
with moving the end line farther behind the backboard and with the effect of
placing the baskets higher than ton fect. «according to those figures, the ball
was brought across tho contor division line aftcr a goal 31 times per gamo. It
roquirod an average of 4.63 scconds cach timc. Jump balls occurrod 18.41 times por
game and when all were moved to a circle, there were 9.1 at one end, 6.8 at the
other and 2.2 at conter. Tho number of goals by the team securing possession
directly from a jump ball (Before loss of control) was 1.33 por game.

A comprehensive study was also made in connection with a point scoring system
designed to determine the team value of an individual playor.

John Bunn reported on a study which had been made relative to the physical offaot
of baskotball on a player as compared with the offect of tho 440-yard run on a
track participant. In general, it was found that it took the pulse rate of the
track man a greater length of time to return to normal than it did for that of a
basketball player who had participated in a strenuous gamo.

H. V. Porter reported on comprehensive statistics which had been gathered for
1000 high school games in ordor that tho oxact offocts of tho new rules might be
determined thragh a detailed comparison of games this year with similar gamos in
provious yearse Tho figuros indicated that the climination of the contor jump
had increased the total score only throe points, had resulted in only a slight
increase in the number of ficld goals attempted, had resulted in a slightly highor
percentage of field goals scored and had resulted in the ball being in play about
two ond one-half minutes longer. Copies of comprehensive data wore supplicd to
each member. He also reported on experimental work with the ond lines extended
behind the backboard and with the effect on the game of balls of various types
and construction and with a ball 29 inches in circumforonce.

Floyd Rowo roported on experionces with the game played in cighths instead of
quarters and with the playing of the gamo without any substitutions following a
field goal.

E. J, Hickox reported on work connected with college games played in quarters and
with two-minute time-out periods.
