No difficulty would be encoumtered in this regarde But, Doctor, I see that our time is fast drawing to a Cclosee But wait a minute = at least we have time for another question, haven't we? Surelye A great deal has been sé&id about the Bnjurious effects of the fast break, especially in league games among junior high schoolse Don't you think that they are putting too much stress upon the contest rather than upon the recreative sport and educational factors for the young boys? Yes, Doctor, Instances of this have come up often in the National Rules discussione I remember distinctly that Floyd Rowe, dir- ector of physical education of the public schools of Cleveland, Ohio, submitted a research finding that was done in Cleveland. This research showed that organized league competition actually effected the nervous system of these boys to such an extent that the normal growth was influenced. One group was taken with no spocial emphasis upon loague play and the other group indulged in regular league competition. According to the findings in Cleveland, the regular league competition was very detrimental to high school boys wider the old rule, and wmder the new rule the stronuosity of the game would be increased. I am sure that the authorities who are making surveys would certainly be against this now game on that principloe Well, now, isn't this league contest a strain upon the nervous systom rather than upon the muscular? And for my part, I think that it would be vory much better to limit the league playing or the interscholastic competition in the junior high schools. Yes, Doctor, you have hit the nail right on the head, because isn't it true that the nervous system controls the glandular systom, and the glandular systom determines the growth of the individual? That is my idea of ite By the way, we have Nelson Sullivan, our sports annowmcer atop Mt. Oread. Sully, you tell the wide world the news, will you?
