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
