Certain scholarships are available. Students who are interested should write to President Harold C. Coffman, George Williams College, 5315 Drexel Ave., Chicago, IIl. It must be quite painful for a fine old gentleman like Dr. James Naismith to sire a game like basketball and then be forced to sit back and watch the younger generation of coaches spoil his offspring un- til he has difficulty in recog- nizing it. PARENTAL PANGS I see that the good doctor, showing up in New York the other day to watch the game he fathered being played before a crowd of 18,000 people, demon- strated that his 77 years have not dimmed his interest in bas- ketball. He took direct issue with the rules committee on three points: 1.—The new rules and their interpretation handicap the of- fensive team. 2.—The officials don’t enforce or interpret the rules properly, and 3.—Elimination of the center jump cut out one of the most interesting features of the game. I’m afraid that T’ll have to string with the doctor on No. 3 and confess that I don’t know , enough about the other two points to debate them. TOO MUCH TOOTING My own experience with bas- ketball has been this—as long as it was just a game it was a lot of fun to play and to watch. When the coaches began to ap- ply too much thought to it and began “improving” it with a flock of new rules and new in- terpretations the trouble start- ed and it soon developed into a whistling solo by the referee. Study the statistics on any close game and you'll see that the game is decided by the ref- eree rather than by. the play- ers. The free throws more often than not are the deciding factor in the contest. I like to see the game decided by the players. Officials are too evi- dent in all games nowadays. OLYMPIC BASKETBALL When the good doctor put up | his peach baskets in the Spring- field Y.M.C.A. gymnasium back in 1892 he had only 13 rules altogether, Now they have rules and interpretations and foot- notes and explanations by the dozen. Not only that but the boys are all for more “improve- ments” in the game. Til not ‘soon forget the look on the good . > Games in Berlin when lié found |) out what the, foreign countries wanted to do to his beloved game. It was quite a setback for him in the moment of his greatest triumph—when he saw the athletes of 21 nations parti- cipating in the game which he had invented 45 years previ- ously. KEEP ’EM SHORT | You’ll remember that the ‘American squad, which won the championship quite easily, was made up of a combination of the local boys who won the Olympic playoff and the Okla- homa gang who were runners- up. Among them were such human Hiffel Towers as Joe Fortenberry, who was 6ft. 8in. tall, and any number of other giraffe-like individuals. When they lined up against the nor- mal or undersized foreigners they made a joke of the game, for, in addition to the enormous advantage of size, they were a great deal more skillful and ex- perienced. Well, to make you see the reaction, the Interna- tional Federation promptly be- gan discussing a regulation to limit the game to players of 6ft. and under. How’s that for a regulation on a world’s cham- pionship event? OUT OF OLYMPICS Anyhow, that was the end of basketball as an Olympic event —at least for the present. It won't be played at Helsinki in 1940. As a matter of fact, of course, height is an advantage when everything else is equal, but it isn’t a necessity. Sam Barry is doing pretty well with a Trojan squad that isn’t any too tall and apparently the best high school basketball team in this neighborhood is the Holly- wood High team, which doesn’t~| have a single 6-footer on the line-up. But, at all events, when the coaches labor under the notion that the way to im- prove a game is to change the rules they certainly gum things up. The game’s exciting, all right, but it’s more maddening than anything else. THE GOOD DOCTOR When Doc Naismith started the. game of basketball he had nine players on a side... The |. / reason was that he was simply inventing a game to give winter exercise to a group of 18, so he just divided ’em into two teams ... His players were all guys training to become Y.M.C.A. sec- retaries . . . One of the original players, I believe, lives in Red- lands now... Naismith is a double-doctor ... He is a doc- tor of medicine and an ordained minister... He has never worked at either profession, but as been in athletic work all his life ... He’s on the faculty at the University of Kansas and Phog Allen, who coaches basket- ball there, has had remarkable a ¥ success...
