Duc to the ease with whieh negative defense points can be accumulated
the efficiencies for dofense are low. Thc composite cfficicney, like last year's
efficiency, is bascd on the net positive points and nogative points that are
earned during the ontire gamee The composite cfficioncy rating scems to parallel
the game score more closely than some of the other itomse

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

In the middle of the scason 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 2 fow violationse Without discussing the
matter with the observers, a check was made during the game with Team F and both
sets of observers had nine violetions on the Kansas team charged against the same
boyse We realize the data cannot be more accurate then our observers and this
check on the violations indicate that our boys were noticing the game rather closclye

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

The scoring ability index as shovm in column 2 is based upon goals and
free throws made and is conputed as show 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 same of the data it is possible to make some
player comparison between the two soasons! play on the same basisSe

This rating shows that all the players, with the exception of Player I
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:
