“ I believe the sport has a big future in
this country, although it has bean played here
for more than 29 years already ! I, myself, have
played since 1°°7, and have taken Jart in
tournaments on the Continent, where the gane
has certainly taken on well.

My ambition is to see basketball played
by Britons like cricket and football. The Amateur
Bagiet Ball Assoulation is doing goed #ork in
tais direction. Another fond hope Of whne is to
Oe able to wateh a first-clase mateh in America.
