George 2. idwards i University of l.issouri, At the 1933 meetins of the National association of Basket Ball Coaches the members were asked to resister a disapvroval of the growing practice of spec- tators to boo. The response, at first, indicated that the coaches were wary 2bout _ expressing an opinion, but a little urging resulted in a vote to condemn the practice. Since then little has been said or done and the practice is still common in many sections. Evidently there ure many coaches who either feel that booing is not the evil it has been nainted, or that it is not their job to control it. Soon, however, we will be called upon for some decisive action, and it might be well to analyze our feelings before we act one way or another. Under Rule 6, section 7, the National Rules Committee has covered the matter by the following answer to, "who is responsible for the behavior of the snectuators ?” "The home manageaent or committee in charge of the game, insofar as they can reasonably be expected to control the syectators. The Referee or Umpire may call fouls on either team if its supvorters act in such a way as to interfere with the nvroner conduct of the game. Discretion must be used in calling such fouls, however, lest a tean be unjustly venclized." Wherever crowds have been very large we ull know that this ruling mostly has been ignored by-gane officials and athletic authorities. Formerly this wis not true and many teats were fouled because of spectator misbehavior. why the change? Some of the more common excuses siven are: 1. ‘With many non-students attending the games any regulation to prohibit booing, or to penalize a tean for it, is either unfair or impéssible to enforce. 2. Some insist that booing is not a serious menace to the game. They say it does not ordinsurily bother the oroner conduct of the contest nor hinder the players. 5S. «a few extremists take the attitude that 4 noisy, critical crowd adds color, keeps officials more alert, results in faster oluying, and: gives the snectators more thrills. In sane moments most coaches, officials, and pluyers adnit that it is . more satisfactory if a crowd clininates tse hoots, and confines its voeal action to legitimate cheering. J‘iowever, the canouigns to educate the oublic to this ideal situation have been few und snoradic. The temporary effect of such campaigns has been due largely to question-~ | able actions of some membexs of our own vrofession. In- other words, the missionary orogran failed because it did not start at home. Fair olay should demand that coaches hang out clean linen of their own before criticism of others. i whole season's snortsmanshin cannuicn fails in five minutes when some coach gives vent publicly to his displeasure. ivery section of the country hes its coaches who are instrumental in starting the boos. They violate tne code by coaching fron the sidelines; sonetines adroitly, but often in sore obvious ways. They hecile with the crowd, In tense nonents, or when decisions are mude against their players, they juap un and down, yell at the official, hold their noses, wave their arns, make fuces, adcress remarks to oovonents, or even run out.on the floor. ‘areustic or critical statenents to reporters after the loss of & gane do not encourage gooe crowd beravior. .ith such leadershio how can we exvxect the spectators to remember any harangue on fine soortsnanshin? Players, too, have been guilty of leadershio in booing. When a com- petitor is fouled snd then shows disgust, anger, or feigns innocence; or should he fake injury after.a collision; or 'rub it in' to embarrass ea menber of the hone tean tie crovd ianediately stares the usual‘yoeal denonstration. Like all arrurents this one has two sides. chat does the averure spece~ tator have to. sai? Wis first woint is a food one. «at baseball, football, hotkey, or at any other sport whith has some degree of sdersonal contact the crowds feel free to root, cheer, or boo. Is basket bull, ask they, to be an exception? : Challange tzeir | snofts1anshin : in booing, and. what is the reply?

Three possible e»urses, then are oven to couches. 1. we can adoot a nolicy of ‘hands off' and rove that booing will become no worse. 2. We can adait that it has a place in the game. If: we do it might - be wise to gocl our stunts and start soae 'bigrer and better’ booing ¢ ecanpairns. oO. ifter some checkines of our own a¢tious we might inau, urate sports- nansnip camvairns to refice oocing, and keeo 5? tot the oractice until it is under control. eZ pe at atin gy Fee aeePe oy Howard Ortner Cornell University Basketball in the astern Intercollegiate Learue gives promise of more interesting faies than we hive had for years due orimarily to the fact that about six of the seven teaus are very evenly matched. Dartmouth, for example, has playec three home games in eight days aad every game wus decided in the last minute of vtlay, two in the last twenty seconds. The lengue has swung baci: from the original two-man officinl system and while there is the customary kicking about officials, one cannot accuse the league officiuls of too many technical, decisions, Harvard, the new entry into the league under ties Fessler is having a bit of difficulty in setting started; it may take them u yeur or two to get int- erested in the game: but the writer velieves they will sive plenty of opposition before long, and »xrobably this year. Capacity crowds ure attending all games and it may not be long before ull the Universities will have to have special field houses for the ganes, In less than trelve years, five of the six teams have moved fron gymnasiums to courts where there is a larrer seating cavacity. The public is taking the game more seriously each yeur. a few good basketball news- paver men in the East similiar to ..lison Danzig and Grantland Rice for football would be one of the greatest things for the fame in the east.. Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, and Pennsylvania all have veteran teams, Cornell and Colundia have several sophomores mingled among soe veterans and. if they seuson fast they may unset sone of the dove. , Colgate, Syracuse, the New York Conference, Nev York City and New En¢e- land are having a big.boonm in basketball interest and crowds... City. College of New York may play Notre Dene in tiacdison Square Garden for charity.. This will draw probably the largest crowd to attend «a basketball game in New York.. | San Barry is University of So. California. The Pacific Coust Conference ovened last weex with Soutnern California playing California at Berkeley and “tanford playing U.C,Lea. at Los angeles. Cal- ifornia won the first game by a score of 36-30 and the Trojans cane back on Sat- urday night to win by 4 lop-sided score of 49-19, at Los angeles somewhat the same situation took place with Stanford beating U.C.LeA. 46-25 on Friday night and losing 32-31 Saturday., The opening - round of our Conference shows conservatively that the teams sure evenly matched this year where heretofore Californisx and Soutnern Culifornia have fought it out for first place for a period of the last five years, while Stanford and U.C.L.a. will have something to say about the race, and it looks like the pennant will go to any one of the four at the oresent writing. The attendance at the game at Berkeley was ?, 500 with more than 5,000 being turned aw:y, while in Los angeles the crowd was smaller with ao reximately 4,000, | ' Statistics so far this year have shown that basket ball is increasing in oooularity more ‘than uny other intercollegiate. soort.

B. T. Grover: ‘Ohio University Prominent ahong tie midwestern college circuits are ‘the activities of the Buckeye Intercollegiate athletic Conference, which includes in its membership six institutions, each maintaining a well equinzed. athletic organization. In order that the highest type of intercollegiate athletic competition could be developed, this bod: was organized on June 2, 1928, by reoresentatives of faculty and athletic departments from Ohio University, . Ohio Wesleyan, Miami, Wittenberg, Cincinnati, and Vennison. Of this group, Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio Uni- versity, Miami, and Cincinnati ‘have retained . their original meabersaip.. witten- berg has twice left the league and Marshall College of DE ne Nie — has replaced Denison. ‘The old Buckeye association was first scanaianih in 1925 as an org- anization within the Ohio Buckeye Conference and competition was carried on with colleges of the association until the fall of 1928. Since its organization, a. greater feeling of co-operation, friendship, courtesy, and sportsmanship has been develoved and maintained by teams and student bodies of member schools. The Conference has taken definite forward steps in fostering athletic interests of constituent colleges and universities, including the setting up of . scholastic standards for athletic participation, the determining of eligibility regulations, the forming of. schedules, the suvervising of contests, and the stand- ardizing of awards for athletic co:nvetition.. Winners of the basket ball title in the Bodese since 1925-26 are: Cincinnati,1926; Denison,1928; Cincinnati, 1928; Ohio “esleyan and Cincinnati,1929; Q9hio Vesleyan and Cincinnati, 1930; Ohio University, 1931; DePauw,1932; Ohio Suiver- sity and Vittenberg;19335. Ohio University pluced two men on the’ all-Buckeye team last year, while Wittenberg, Ohio Wesleyan, and iarshall were eac* awarded one position. Sommetition seems. to be getting more difficult each season, with the caliber of courtmen plasing in the league consistently imoroving. March 17th : & 3 '4 Mr, George Edwards, Basket Ball Coach, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo, Dear George: In answer to vier Letter of the 14th inst., 27 am very happy to offer my suggestions for mater- ial for consideration by the Rules Committee of the Nat ional Association of Basket Ball Coaches, One suggestion that I would like to make would be namely, thet time should continue for the last minute of each half as regards substitution, In other words, to have the same rule that we have in football, namely, aed € ae substitutions ere made in the last minute of each half time shall continue even though substitutions are made, ¢ I have seen the last minute of a game where 4.coach would take out time and inswpp a new man_ either as a move to frustrate the players or to save seconds. For instance, when @ goal is made by either — there would be a change of personnel, | ZI believe this is ea distraction to the game ant it is my opinion that many times this is done to defeat the purpose of the rule. Especially so, when & man can go into a game naceae times now, instead of two, ° In looking over the basket ball questionnaire I am impressed with question #8, with its subdivi-~ sion. I am enclosing a copy of this questionnaire. for your perus- - al, The crowding in front and around the basket seems to me a matter of the height of the basket. You know I. believe that we could very profitably raise the basket to. a height of 11 or 12 feet and take away some of the advantage #2 Mr. George Rdwards Mareh 16th, 1934 . that the tall man now possesses, Therefore, instead of moving the backboarcs forward or backward, I would raise them. 0n every one of the subdivisions of question #8, the height of the basket would ansver every one of these questions more definitely than by =n the backboard in the field of play. Another thing that I recommended for consideration. by the Rules body last year was that we make the basket ball court the same relative width and length that a football field is, If you woukd do thet, you would increase the width of the court some five or six feet, with the length 94 feet as it now is, This width and longth then would conform exactly to the same proportions as a football field, By widening the court, it woulé be more difficult for a zone defense to operate, And further, you would have fewer out of bound balis. Certainly it seems logical to me that-a football field wherein you can carry the ball should be no wider, if as wide proportionately as a basket ball field, where there is greater opportunity for fumble and out of bound balls, | Therefore, I would be in favor of ecco the baskets to 11 or 12 feet in height, leaving the back- . board where it is, and I would be in favor of increasing the width of the basket ball court to conform proportionately’ to the width and length of a football field, These three changes that I mentioned, which include the permission to substitute in the usuel way without time being called out in the last minute, would be the three weaee suggestions that I would have for your consider- ation, Trusting that “ suggestions are received by you in ample time for your study, I am at aS Very cordially yours, Director, FCA:IW UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI A COLUMBIA A Le DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION ; March 14, 1934 Mr. FC.

To this end I am addressing this letter to you and asking you to cooperate with this committee by mailing me such proposals as have come to your attention during the season, and upon which you believe the Association should express an opinion.

Oct.12-1933. JOHN D. PLANT, DIRECTOR MALCOLM MUSSER, AssT. DIRECTOR Dr.Forrest C.Allen Kansas Unive, Lawrence, Kansase Dear Dr.Allen:- | Inclosed are five games scored on the baskatball test and ———---—-eomputation sheet.Explanation:-Teams A and B are two high schools teams;C and '._ D are two intramural teams;E and F are two college freshmen teams,etc. In the high School game,team A playing team B, we find under Center Play,reading from | left to right,that team A secured the ball from the center circle jump zero a times the first quarter,and once the second,third and fourth quarters, totaling three times during the entire game that team A secured the ball from the center circle jump.This section (Center Play) on the shcet does not include jump balls elsewhere on the floor;only at the center circle. The next item,Inaccurate Passing,shows team A making four inaccurate passes the first quarter;two fumbles and five inaccurate passes the second querter;five inaccurate passes the third quarter and one fumble and four inaccurate passes the fourth quarter.This totals three fumbles and eighteen inaccurate passes the entire game as against six fumbles and fburteen inaccurate passes for team B. The next item,Field Goals,shows team A trying ten times to put the ball through the iron hoop and being successful only once during the first quarter. In the second quarter team A tried seven shots from the field and was successful zero timeseIn the third quarter four out of six tries were successful while in the fourth quarter team A made three successful tries at field goals from twelve attempts.This all totals,for the entire game, tries-thirty five andsuccessful-eight . The next item.Foul Goals tried and successful can be secured from anil the score book. Backboard Play indicates whether or not a team is following its shots at the basket;its defensive ability around the backboard,etc. For instance, under Backboard Play you notice a big A and to the right of this big Aa smaller A and Be This big A is team A's offensive backboard, the basket at which team A is shooting. The little A designates the number of times team A retrieves the ball after shooting,and the little B designates the number of times team B took the ball from the backboard and basket they were defending.In other words in this particular game team A obtained the bail after shooting, by following into the basket,eight times,while team B secured the ball seventeen times after team A shot. The reverse situation is true under team B backboard when team A received the ball twenty times after team B shot and team B retrieved the ball thirteen times after shooting at their basket,by following their shots. The last item is the score by quarters and the total score. It is possible for one man to score an entire game,but he is kept very BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION LEWISBURG, PENNA. JOHN D. PLANT, DIRECTOR MALCOLM MUSSER, AssT. DIRECTOR busyeI usually have the assistant managers help me.Qne man can handle the center tap and field goal tries,another man takes inaccurate passing,etc. At the finish of the first half it takes but a moment to totgal all results and the coach can take one glance at the sheet and determine exactly the number of times his team received the center tap,the number of inaccurate passes made,the accuracy of field goals tried,the foul goal record, and the backboard play shows whether or not his team is following their shots, just how many times the opponent's guards took the ball from the backboard,etc,. This is of great help to the coach between halves in remedying his teams play for the succeeding half.The total results at the end of the game,when studied, show at what particular points his team succeeded or failed and hence is of value in future coaching. As I told you at Massillon the big difference in play between the more expert paayer and the less experienced is in ball handling.Note the total number of inaccurate passes in the professional game as compared with the — total number of inaccurate passes in the intramural game. I inclosed two blank sheets.One for games played in quarters and one for games played in halves. I trust the explanatton of the sheet is clear.Will be glad to 4 answer any questions you might ask about this score sheet. I can see how it can be improved upon.For instance:-One team may have more inaccurate passes than the other team because of handling the ball more often.This can be improved by correlating the time each team has the ball with a stop watch,then compare the number of inaccurate passes with the length of time each team has the ball in its possession. However these figures show, ‘I believe, there are too many players wo do not have the proper respect for : that ball when in their possession. Many other deductions can be drawn, I think, from this sheet,but they are too numerous to mention here. I appreciated our talk at the "“y" at Massillons - .I have started basketball practice here at Bucimell. atest ts DreAllen,I felt that Ireceived from you at Massillon more than ? expert basketball knowledge.You are more than a basketball coach,you are a real educator.It was a pleasure and an inspiration to have attended the school at which you were one of the instructérs. By the way,I,had a letter recently from an old team mate of mine, "Scow" Garner, a fraternity, of yours and a personal friend of Forrest(Frosty) Cox.Garner is manager,I believe, of the Jackson County Light,Heat & Power Co, Independence,Miss. You may know him. I see where K.U. played a fine game against Notre Dame.May you have a most successful season. Kind gegards in all things. / Sincerely, é ‘ Malcolm E.
