Due to the onse with whieh negative defense points can be accumulated
the efficiencies for defense are lowe Tho composite cfficicney, like last year's
efficiency, is bascd on the net positive points and negative points that are
earned during the entire gamce The composite efficiency rating scoms to parallel
the game score more closely than somo of the other itomse

A close cxamination of the statisties of the game with Team D will lead
one to wonder just how the Kansas team won the game. The story is told in goals
made where the home team made two more than the opposition,g The romaining statis-
tics are largely in favor of Team De |

In the middle of the season there was some question about the number of
violationse It seemed that the number of violations was too low and it was the
opinion that our observers were missing a fow violations. Without discussing the
matter with the observers, a check was made during the game with Team F and both
sets of observers had nine violations on the Kansas team charged against the same
boyse We realize the data cannot be more accurate than our obsorvers and this
check on the violations indicate that our boys were noticing the game rather closclye

Table IV shows the player analysis for twelve playcerse A few more
players wore used in the home contests, but all had less than 20 minutes of playing
time to their credit and were not ineluded in the present tablee The number (sec
Table IV) preceding the dash in the various columns represents the individual 's
rank in relation to the other members of the squade

The scoring ability index as shown in column 2 is based upon goals and
free throws made and is computed as shovm in the first study under definition of
termse If two boys each made 25 goals, the one with the highest percentage of made
shots will have the highest scoring ability indexe

By changing the order of some of the data it is possible to make some
player comparison between the two seasons’ play on the sane basise

who did not finish the season, did make improvenente

The evaluation points per minute (see Table IV) earned during the play-
ing season show how active the individual was, while the composite efficiency shows

how well the individual performed his taskse .

The players of visiting teams were rated on the fow items which are
shown in Table Ve The table is limited to players who played at least 15 minutes
during the game. The table (V) divides itself naturally into ghree groups:

le Above 90% playing efficiency
2e Between 80% and 90% playing efficiency
3e Below 80% playing efficiencye
