In the middle of the season there was some question about
the number of violations. It seemed that the number of violations was too low
and it was the opinion that our observers were missing a few 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
observers and this check on the violations indicate that our boys were noticing
_ the game rather closely.

Table IV shows the player analysis for twelve playerse A few
more players were used in the home contests, but all had less than 20 minutes of
playing time to their credit and were not included in the present table. The number
(see 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 canputed as shown in the first study under
definition of terms. If two boys each made 25 goals, the one with the highest per-
centage of made shots will have the highest scoring ability indexe

By changing the order of seme of the data it is possible to make

some player comparison between the two seasons play on the same basise
