SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE.

Editorial Comment

Growth of the GameAlmost without exception, every report contained in this Guide

emphasizes the increased number of leagues and teams in the terri-tory about which the article treats. The league idea is growingeach year, as evidenced by the reports from home and foreign countries.Some have called basket ball the national indoor game, as base ball

is the national outdoor one, and the reports of its marvellous growthin the past five years certainly warrants it a place above any otherindoor game.

National A. A. U. ChampionshipsThe Basket Ball and Championship Committees of the National

Amateur Athletic Union, by vote, awarded the honor of conductingthe lâtional Championship to the Central Association of the A.A.U.,.with headquarters at Chicago.The Central Association Committee handled the championships in

its usual businesslike way, and, as a result, received the commenda-tion of the Illinois Athletic Club Committee and members, where theevent was held.The representatives of the teams taking part expressed themselves as

highly pleased with the whole affair. The spectators were enthusiasticand numerous. The press were well taken care of and given everyopportunity to witness the games with comfort. The officials con-tributed a large share to the pronounced success of the champion-ships.

1914-15 ChampionshipsSo much interest has been manifested in the various championships;

—local. State, sectional and National—that the management of the Pan-ama-Pacific Exposition have decided to feature the game at the Ex-position in 1915.The number of high grade teams in action last season was so nu-

merous that there should be no trouble in sbowing the best basketball at this Exposition the world has ever witnessed.An ideal court is being prepared and everything will be done in

strict accordance with the rules, so teams may rest assured thatthey will not meet any new conditions, if they have been playing inaccordance with the official rules.

Army and NavyAs a means of normally working off pent-up enthusiasm during

the long winter months, no game has quite met the demand like

basket ball for our boys of the service. The officers in the barracks,

and on our warships realize, I am sure, the value of such a game,otherwise it would not meet with such unadulterated approval as it

has all through both arms of the service.If vou think this statement is too strong, read the first paragraph

of Lieut. A. M. Cohen's article in this Guide and see what he thinks;

of the game for the men in the navy.Where they have a league, men have been known to forego shore

8 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE.

leave so as to see our team in action, and you probably know shoreleave is not lightly treated by these defenders of our peace and safety.

SchoolsThe number of schools adopting the league idea the past season

was legion. One new group is the county high schools.Grammar schools, high schools and preparator.v schools—North,

South, East and West—in the United States, across the border amongour Canadian cousins, in South America, the Philippines and in othercountries, such as China, Japan, Korea, etc., all saw the immensevalue of leagues among schoolboys and girls, and are organizing in away that makes for permanency, interest and character.Many schools and colleges for the first time last season put basket

ball in the major sport class, supported it financially and awardedletters for efiiciency.

Superintendents of systems, principals of schools, teachers of classes,and parents, all seemed to more fully appreciate the real value ofthe game.

Recreation CentersThe game has taken a strong hold on the recreation centers of the

country, large leagues being organized, many so large that it is nec-essary to divide the city into sections, play off sectional champion-ships, and have the victorious teams of each section meet at theclose of the season for the final test. These final championshipsaroused great interest and enthusiasm and were discussed for weeksin the home, at school, on the street ; in fact, wherever two or moreboys congregated.

If the coaching has been sportsmanlike, if the business plans havebeen eflicient, if the officials are of the right sort, a clean, vigorous,snappy game results ; any other kind of preparation is not worthwhile. Such a plan seemed to have been followed in the New York€lty evening recreation centers and is explained in Mr. Gibney'sarticle in this Guide.

PlaygroundsWhile basket ball was originally an Indoor game, the playgrounds

are using it with pronounced success out of doors during the summerseason. In the New York City municipal playgrounds. Mr. Lee, theSupervisor, in his article in this Guide, says : "It is the most popularplayground game during that season of the year."

If you travel much you will note the large number of playgroundswith basket ball equipment, and during the hours after school andin vacation season the game is almost constantly being plaved. Ihave seen playground teams actually playing in a snow storm andenjoying it as much as they would in a steam heated gymnasium.

If a league is properly organized, the teams coached in the properspirit and ofl3cials with horse sense deveFoped and used, the game hasa large place in the philosophy of life and brings large returns lacharacter building.

The Public PressTime and again the authors of articles in this number of the

Guide mention the value of the support given by the press, and righthere it might not be amiss to state that the value of the press canhardly be estimated towards the success of a basket ball league orchampionship.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE. 9

Reputable newspapers are always willing to further interestingclean sport, but need the fullest co-operation of committees in prep-aration of news outlines so the reporter can fill it in as only a news-paper man knows. Appoint a press representative of your leagueto whom the papers may send their reporters for news which isinteresting and accurate.

Formation of LeaguesThose who recognize the character forming qualities of basket ball

favor the formation of leagues as against the average individualteam, which seldom has seasoned and mature management interestedsufficiently to emphasize the character building style of play.More leagues were competing last season than any previous season

in the history of the game, and, almost without exception, reportsindicate a better game from the standpoint of players, officials andspectators.The attendance was better, a larger circle of patrons were inter-

ested and a higher grade of officiating was possible ; in a word, theleague idea so far surpasses any other plan of running the game thatthere is absolutely no chance for comparison.

Officials

Read any article in this Guide, and ff you don't find some state-ment in each one on the importance of competent officials, then I havemisled you. Officials don't grow, they are not lying around waitingto be discovered, they are not knocking at our doors demanding en-trance. No such thing. They must be trained, and therefore thesupply of good ones is always fewer than the demand._A successful league, in the broad sense of the word, is impossible

without efficient, conscientious men, who know the game, to man thisstrategic place. Why not spend some time training the right sortof fellows for this all-important position? Turn to the back part ofthis book and read "Suggestions to Officials." Then start a trainingclass composed of the choicest men you can find.

ScoringMore emphasis was laid on securing good officials last season than for

many years previous, special reference being made to referees andumpires, but an efficient scorer is also highly important as it is he whois entrusted with recording and keeping accurate records.A poor scorer does an injustice to each player in the game, as he

fails to record the items so necessary for the coach to know after thegame so he can sum up the strong and weak spots in his line-up. Thecomplete history of a game is seen at a glance in a well kept score,and only reliable men should be selected for this important service.

Protests

Be a sport, not a grouch. Don't protest on the least provocation.Some fellows seem to spend a large part of their time looking for,not grounds, but opportunities to protest. Be careful or it maybecome a habit, and you will gain a reputation for being a good pro-tester rather than a good player. There are a few (a very few) timeswhen it is proper to protest, and it should only be done in a courteousmanner.Some teams never protest unless they lose. If something is wrong

and warrants a protest, take action, win or lose, otherwise you maybe put in the unsportsmanship class, and find difficulty in again get-


ting into decent company. As a rule, protests are not worth wliile.

Don't jeopardize your reputation by getting the habit.

SportsmanshipIt is interesing to note the strain of sportsmanship training that

permeates nearly every article in the Guide this year, which, of course,

indicates that the sole idea of the game in the minds of the leadersis not victory, but something deeper and of greater significance.

In the case of the younger players, standards of sportsmanshipare acquired easier at their age than at any other time in life. Theyare just emerging from the individualistic period and entering the groupor social period, and correct standards of conduct, coupled with rightrelations to others, is ready for emphasis. If the proper training is

lacking at this age, a full rounded character does not come to satis-

factory fruition, which is important.

Team Work Versus Stars

Evorvbodv but the star player realizes the value of team work In

basket ball." Leaders all over the country have been trying for yearsto eliminate the grand stand player and made more progress this

season than ever before.The value of team work is given attention in Dr. Meanwell's article.

Real progress was made towards uniform team work in the New YorkCity Recreation Centers Championships, and it is admirably explainedhow it was done by Mr. Gibney in his article.

The article on "Team Work," by Dr. Keim, is worth reading byleaders, coaches, captains, managers and players. Indeed, if playerscatch the spirit and put it into practice, better basket ball will surelyresult and the influence on both the players and game will be easilyapparent.

SpectatorsSome teams have cause to criticize spectators when they play on

foreign courts, but it should be remem])ered that with very few ex-

ceptions, spectators reflect the tactics of the home team, so the hometeam is to be held responsible more than the spectators themselves.

If home teams play a clean, open game, spectators will learn to ap-preciate it; if a rough house game is the custom on the home court,spectators will think that is the real game and act accordingly. Wemight say, then, educate your audiences in the rules and ethics ofthe game" and you will be proud of them, and they will add to thepleasure of the game.

Dominion of CanadaOur cousins across the line are just as busy as we are playing the

game and have turned out some teams that have taken part in ourExposition Championships to the credit of all concerned.The game is played from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and no doubt

Canada will be well represented at the championships on the Coast in

1915.Several articles in this Guide will give one a good idea of how the

game is conducted and its constant growth in number of teams andhigh ideals.No doubt the season of 1914-15 wiW be the greatest in the his-

tory of the game.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE. U

South AmericaThe growth of the game is encircling the globe and is now one of

the major sports in this growing country.You will enjoy reading the article by Mr. Hopkins in this Guide.

and will recognize that they are working with us side by side in de-veloping the game and participants.The Y.M.C.A. physical directors, sent down there with the North

American idea of physical education, are revolutionizing the habits ofthe young people of some of the countries where they began workonly a comparatively short time ago. We are going to hear in the nearfuture of great strides being made in this country, among all ages ofits population, and basket ball will have its place.

The Philippines

I believe it is well within the truth when it is stated that no-whore have physical training and games grown so rapidly as in thePhilippines. The article in this issue, by E. S. Brown, on basket ballin the Philippines, will surely convince anyone who reads it carefully,of the truth of the above statement.

The game is to have a prominent place in championships of theFar East to be held in Shanghai, China, this present season. Seewhat is said about it in E. S. Brown's article. We hope to get a re-

port on this championship for the next number of the Guide. It willbe interesting because of so many different nationalities competing.

Outdoor GamesWhile the game was originally intended to be played indoors, the

outside adaptation is meetiiig with hearty favor each year, and thenumber of leagues playing outdoors increasing. In the south the gameis played outdoors most of the year and enjoyed by botl; sexes.

In fact, the championships at the Pan-American Exposition, in Buf-falo, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held at St. Louis, wereboth played outdoors, and no doubt the Panama-Pacific Expositionon the Pacific Coa.st in 1915 will also be played in the open. The out-door game is here to stay.

Next SeasonThe time to begin plans for next season is immediately after the

close of the present season. Mistakes made are fresh in everybody's-mind, and a policy of improvement can be outlined much easier at thistime than at any other.Many organizations fail to check up at the end of the season. New

committees take up the work next season and repeat the errors ofthe former season. A committee with a good policy that correctsformer errors has won half the battle of success and saves the timeus'ially consumed in ironing out many unforeseen difficulties. The hitor mis's plan is often the custom with poorly organized committees.


National Amateur Athletic Union BasketBall Championship of the United States

The annual competition for the basket ball championship of theUnited States was held under the auspices of the Illinois AthleticClub of Chicago, on April 10 and 11, 1914r in its gymnasium. Arrange-ments were made to make it the most successful entertainment of itskind that has been held in recent years.

Special circus seats were built on the ends and the baskets were sus-pended from the ceiling, making a free space underneath so that therewould be no uprights that players would be liable to be injured on.There were no side lines, out of bounds being only on the ends, whichmade the games very fast.The preliminary games were held on Friday night, April 10, and the

semi-finals on Saturday afternoon, April 11, the finals being played onthe same Saturday night.

Entry blanks were sent to every known team in the United States,and if the far Eastern and Western States were not represented it wasnot the fault of not getting due notice. Owing to the late date, April,it was found that a good many of the teams had disbanded for theseason.

This championship should be held early in the year, not later thanthe middle of March. Next year it will be at the Panama Exposition onFebruary 22; and should catch most of the teams in the country inthe pink of condition.The entry list was small, compared to other championships, but what

it lacked in numbers was made up in class, for better basket ball hasnot been seen in some time around this part of the country.The Cornells of Armour Square of Chicago, who won the NationalA.A.U. title at Grant Park, July 4, 1913. were entered, as werethe Central A.A.U. champions of 1914, the West Side Browns ofChicago. The military end was represented by the champions, theFirst Regiment of Chicago, also the champions of the Bankers' League,the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Banking. The Sun-day schools were represented by the Young Men's Fellowship Club ofOlivet Church, as well as the Lincoln Street M. E. Church team.The St. John's Athletic Club of Irving Park completed the list. Thismade a total of seven teams, just enough to handle nicely without anytrouble or confusion.The writer has been connected with basket ball for a good many

years and has handled many tournaments, but this one was without adoubt the most successful held in this part of the country. Therewere no kicks or complaints registered. Everything ran smoothly,and the game was played as it should be. The contests were witnessedby many who had never seen basket ball played before and they wenthome very much elated over the exhibitions.The competition was not only a success from a basket ball stand-

point, but served as a strong social feature as well ; in fact, the socialside of such athletic features could easily be emphasized to theadvantage of the club acting as patron.

The championship was under the joint direction of two efficient

committees. The A.A.U. committee was represented by LieutenantCharles A. Dean as chairman. The Illinois A.C. chairman was W. G.

Uffendell. The associates of both these chairmen were constantly onthe job.

One of the perplexing problems of basket ball and other similargames is the difficulty of getting competent officials. A few knowthe rules, but lack "horse sense." Some know the rules, but are shorton backbone to enforce them. Others know the rules, have backbone,but lack instant definite decision. Others have many of the good•qualities, but lack unbiased judgment. Under these circumstances theuntiring efforts of the committee all come to naught, because thegames on the floor are not properly handled by the officials, to thedisgust of the spectators and players.The officials in last season's games, whose names are given elsewhere

In this article, seemed to have a majority of the good points and didnot exhibit, to a marked degree, any of the bad points above men-tioned. Therefore, they contributed a lion's share to the pronouncedsuccess of the competition and won the admiration of both playersand spectators.

The committees and officials who were responsible for the successof the Tournament were as follows :

The championship was again won by the fast Cornell team, with theYoung Men's Fellowship Club second, and Chicago Chapter of theAmerican Institute of Banking third. Too much cannot be said of theplaying of the champions. Not since the days of Hazer, Reckard,Schommer, Jardine, etc., has such an exhibition of team play andbasket tossing been seen ia Chicago. The forward wox'k of Johnsonand A. H. Pressler was unbeatable, while Feeney, at center, was alwaysthere. Beautiful guarding was done by W. C. Pressler, Freiling andKohfeldt. With another year's work this team should be able todefeat any team in the country on any kind of a floor, and it is hopedthat the Cornells will be in a position to represent this city at thenext National Championship to be held at San Francisco in 1915.The Central A.A.U. champions, the West Side Browns, played the

first game with the Young Men's Fellowship Club of the Olivet Church,and after one of the closest and hardest fought contests on local floorswere eliminated, 89-35. This was rather a surprise, as they wereexpected to be one of the contenders for the national gold medals.The Olivet team played a strong game throughout. In the secondgame of the tournament the Chicago Chapter of Bankers eliminated theLincoln Street M.E. Church team, score 54-15, while in the thirdgame of the night, the Champion Cornells easily defeated the FirstRegiment team, 68 to 5. The St. John's A.C. team draw a bye.

In the semi-finals, the Yôung Men's Fellowship Club and the Bankersplayed a close, hard game, the former coming out the victor, 38 to 24.The Cornells won their second game by defeating the St. John's,69 to 13. This left the Cornells and Young Men's Fellowship Clubto play for first place and the Bankers and St, John's to play forthird place at night. The Bankers were returned the victors for thirdplace by the score of 47 to 28. This game as well as all the gamesin which the Bankers played, was featured by the free tossing ofO'Connor, who was successful in caging nine-tenths of his tries on freethrows.The final game. was much harder fought than the score of 82 to 25

would indicate. The Young Men's Fellowship Club put up a goodfight, but it was impossible to break the iron defense of the Cornells.

The Illinois, the official publication of the Illinois Athletic Club,describes the tournament as follows

:

"The National Amateur Athletic Union basket ball championshipsfurnished some strenuous and very interesting sport in the I.A.C.gymnasium on Friday and Saturday evenings, April 10 and 11. Therewas a big attendance and lots of enthusiasm both nights. Thegymnasium floor furnished an ideal court for the games for the reasonthere were no side lines. This made the play very fast. Bleacherswere rigged up at both ends of the gymnasium, affording splendidplaces to view the play. There were present many ladies both evenings,who enjoyed the popular indoor sport. Those who had never seen abasket ball game before opened their eyes at the agility and accuracyof the players, particularly by the players of the Cornell team ofArmour Square, the winners. They gave an exhibition of throwing,catching, goal tossing and general team play that showed the gameto the best advantage. The skill displayed constantly aroused thespectators to applause.

"Seven teams competed for the national honors. On Friday nightthe Young Men's Club of the Olivet M.E. Church defeated the WestSide Browns by the score of 39 to 35. The American Institute of

Banking team defeated the Lincoln M.E. team, 54 to 15, and theCornell team completely outclassed the First Regiment A.A., 68 to 5.

"On Saturday evening the Cornell team eliminated the St. John'steam, 69 to 13, from first honors, and the Young Men's Club defeatedthe Bankers after a hot contest, by the score of 46 to 37. This broughtthe Cornells and the Young Men's Club together for deciding contestfor first place. The Cornell's won easily by the score of 82 to 25.This gave the Youn^ Men's Club second prize. The Bankers and St.John's battled for tnird prize, the Bankers winning by the score of47 to 28. There were sev§n national championship gold medals pre-sented to the players on the winning team, seven silver medals for thesecond team, and seven bronze to the third team. This made 21medals in all that were presented to the winning athletes at theconclusion of the games. All the players commended the I.A.C. forthe splendid manner in which the championships were conducted. Thevery best of feeling prevailed among all the contestants. After eachgame the teams exchanged their team yells. Chairman Charles A.Dean is entitled ta the lion's share of the credit for the successfulmanner in which the games were conducted."The following letter really expresses ti]e feeling of all the players

:

"April 14, 1914.

"Captain Charles A. Dean, Illinois Athletic Club, Chicago.

"My Dear Captain Dean : On behalf of the Cornells of ArmourSquare, I desire to thank you and every member of the A.A.U. basketball committee, and the I.A.C. athletic committee for the courteoustreatment which we received at your hands during the recent nationalchampionship tournament. The manner in which the tournament washandled bv the I.A.C. and A.A.U. committees deserves the highestpraise. Personally, I desire to add that it has never been my fortuneto be connected with a tournament which was better handled.

"Sincerely yours,

"J. R. Klawans, Manager."

Western Intercollegiate ConferenceBasket Ball

By De. W. E. Meanwell.

The basket ball season of 1913-14 was the most successful in thehistory of the game in the Middle West. Reports from Conferenceinstitutions indicate greatly increased interest and larger crowds atintercollegiate games than ever before. Chicago, Illinois and Wis-consin, in particular, report record attendances.

So groat was the general interest that basket ball was more thanself supporting in most of the Conference institutions. Foot ball isabout the only other sport of which this can be said.

The reasons for the thriving condition of the game are several.Perhaps the large size of the playing courts is the chief reason, for itis almost impossible to show fast, clean, highly developed team play,on a small court. Again, the officials are to be thanked, for their in-fluence was of the best and they were a most efficient corps of men.Lastly, a style of play has been developed peculiar to the Conferenceand characterized by great speed and the highest type of team workand of individual technique, so that the game attracts and holds theinterest of spectators.

Wisconsin agai» won the championship decisively and without theloss of a game. The record of the teams from this institution for thepast three seasons is unique in university basket ball history, in thatbut one game has been lost in forty-five intercollegiate contests, thirty-six of which were with Conference teams.The champions last season had not the weight and power of their

two preceding teams, but more than offset that disadvantage by de-veloping great speed and an ability to perfect combinations on allparts of the floor.

Individually, the two veterans. Van Gent, at center, and Harper, atguard, were the stars of the season in their respective positions, whileLange, the other Badger guard, was the highest scoring back-fleld manin the history of the Conference.

Because of the remarkable work of the others on the team, theforwards, Sands and Hass, were less conspicuous than their markedability would Avarrant under more usual circumstances. The play ofboth was of the highest character and they ranked second and third,respectively, among Conference forwards, in number' of field goalsscored. The short pass, with close teamwork at all times, characterizedWisconsin's game. Only two of the regulars remain for next season.

Second place was undetermined owing to the enforced cancellation ofIllinois' last two games, both away from home, with Chicago andNorthwestern. An additional disturbing factor is the existing ruleagainst rating a team on a percentage basis when less than ten gamesare played. This affected Ohio State, which played but six games.Chicago, Illinois, and Ohio State claimed the position.

Chicago was conceded a high position from the start because of thenumber of high grade, experienced men on the squad. When goingright the team was almost unbeatable, but at times would fail to showtrue form. The exceptional height of the men led to the use of thelong, high pass, and a formidable attack was developed which char-acterized Chicago's play.

Norgren. Goettler. Stevenson and Stegeman were high -•rarT'^ for-wards. Xorgren, especially, being of All-Westem caliber. Des Jardienand Shull ranked next to Van Gent of Wisconsin, as centers DesJardien is a remarkable athlete and should be the star of the Con-ference next season. Captain Molander^ Baumgartner and George werestrong, aggressive guards, the first two being unusually able men. Sixof these men remain for next season.

Illinois had one of the strongest teams in its history and the fanssupported it in "standing room only" style throughout the season. Theteam played a hard, fast and consistent game, and was defeated butthree times, twice on the home court, by a one point margin.

Well organized team work and a well executed long pass featured theIllinois play, though the dribble was used to a much greater extentthan by any other team, except Minnesota. This style of play is nolonger much in evidence in the Conference.

Illinois had three men who should be considered in the selectionof honorary teams, in Williford and Kircher, forwards, and Crane,guard. All of these players are of the best type. Bane, at center,developed into a strong player, and should be one of the leaders in hisposition next season.

None of the men will be lost by graduation, and with much promisingfreshmen material in sight, the prospects for the coming season arevery bright.

Ohio State possessed a strong team which ranks with the best inboth the Western and the Ohio Conference. Cherry, forward, and Graf,guard, were the stars of the team. Both men should be rated high inany comparison of Conference players. Physically, these men wereperhaps the best in their respective positions in the Conference, andshould be heard from next season. Ohio played the short pass game.

Northwestern started well, but was handicapped late in the seasonby accidents and scholastic difficulties. The team was composed oftall, rangy men of good ability, the Whittle brothers, at center and for-ward, and Aldrich, at guard, being the most noticeable for the players.The style of play displayed the long pass, long shot game, with frequentcenter-forward shifts. The true strength of the team was shown inthe hard, uphill game on Chicago's floor, which Northwestern lost bythe score of 30-29. A strong nucleus remains for next season.Minnesota started with bright prospects, but sustained repeated

losses of men through accident and ineligibility. It was a season ofcontinued misfortune, and but little can be said of the several teamswhich Dr. Cooke placed on the floor. Of the players. Captain Stadsvoldand Pynn displayed the best form, the former being one of the fastestand best men in the Conference, and especially proficient with thedri' ble. He should make the All-Western forwârd next season, andwith Lawlor and Pynn will present a nucleus for a first class team.

Purdue had a rather unsuccessful season, due, in part, to losses ofregulars through sickness and ineligibility. Kintzler, at center, wasone of the highest scorers in the Conference and fitted into the ef-

fective Purdue"" shift attack perfectly. He became ineligible, however,and was replaced by Little, who played wonderful ball, his Wis-consin games stamping him as a remarkable player on offense. Berry,at auard. and Brockenbrough, at forward, were also players of markedability. The star of the team, however, and, indeed, the fastest andmost aggressive floor worker in the Conference, was Oliphant, Purdue'sgreatest athlete.

. It is difficult to explain why Purdue won so few games. The over-time game at Wisconsin and the victory over Chicago demonstrated theteam to be one of powder and of great individual ability. The style ofplay was characterized by team shifts and the long pass.

Review of the Eastern Intercollegiate

Basket Ball SeasonBy Nat Fleischer, New York.

For closeness of competition, the intercollegiate basket ball seasonOf 1913-1914 was without an equal in the history of the game. How-ever, so far as the purely mechanical end of the sport was concerned,there was practically no advance, yet, taken all in all, it must beconceded that throughout all parts of the East the game made greatstrides.

Quite a number of colleges where the game had never before beenplayed, so far as outside contests was concerned, took up the sportand put teams into the field. Prominent among these institutionswere Lafayette, Rutgers and Amherst, all three of which should developinto powers in intercollegiate basket ball circles, as they have in foot'ball and other fields of athletic endeavor. In addition, basket ballrevived wonderfully in certain sections where rough and questionabletactics had dealt the game a blow from which it was thought it couldnot recover. This was particularly true in some parts of NewEngland.

In the matter of Individual excellence, there were stars in suffi-

ciency, but to the close follower of the game it was apparent that theplayers, taken as a whole, did not quite rank witb those of previousseasons.

While there were not so many top notchers among the college teams,there were far more men playing the game than ever before. Thesquads at all institutions were of record proportions. In consequence,while there was not so much quality, there was plenty of quantity,and in intercollegiate basket ball at the present time quantity of theright kind is rather to be chosen than too little quality. A wellbalanced five has been found to be more effective than a team withseveral stars who overshadowed the rest and made the combinationa little top heavy.

MANY REVERSALS OF FORM.The season saw many reversals of form among teams as well as

individuals. Men and combinations which were ranked among thetop notchers the season before were relegated to the lists of themediocre. Tbat state of affairs, too, is hard to explain, but the factis best realized from the records, particularly among the members ofthe Eastern League.

In the Eastern League the standard of play was below that of thepast. In the first place there was entirely too much "rough house,"and in the second place few men were permitted to remain in oneposition for any length of time. As a consequence very few hada chance to develop true expertness in any specialty. Forwards wereshifted to guards, defensive men were placed in forward positions,and players from both positions were put at center.Among the colleges outside of the Eastern League there was a slight

idrop in quality, but none in interest. Wesleyan, Union, Colgate, St.Lawrence, Lehigh, College of the City of New York, Swarthmore,Fordham, and several other institutions had fives which did not classwith those of past campaigns, and in many cases the members of thebig league established their supremacy over the "outlaws," a condition

that was in direct variance with that which held true for at least twoseasons previous.As for the Eastern championship, while Columbia tied with Cornell

in the league race, it must be conceded that the Ithacans had the

best team on this side of the AUeghanies. Taken man for man, both

in their performances and records, the Cornell players shaped up muchbetter than those of Columbia, and it must "pe regretted strongly that

the faculties of the two universities did not see fit to permit the

teams to fight it out for the title. The winner of a play-off wouldhave had an undisputable claim to the Eastern championship, all

colleges, members of the league or othervsîse, considered.

NEW LEAGUES WERE STARTED.The season saw the new Northern League blossom forth and the

newcomer proved a great success. The league is composed of Union,Wesleyan, Colgate and Williams, and the first championship went toUnion, which defeated Wesleyan in the play-off for the title. Despiteits success in the league. Union cannot be considered for the Easternchampionship, as it did not rank with either Cornell or Columbia.

Another new organization that inaugurated its campaign last seasonwas the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate League, in which the competitionwas divided into three sections. In the Eastern Division, the honorsfell to Lehigh, after a tie with Swarthmore, while in the CentralSection, Albright College took the title. The Western Division tourna-ment resulted in success for Penn State. None of the three leadersmentioned can put forth any claim to the Eastern championship. Infact, the Pennsylvania League hardly ranked, as a whole, with theNorthern League.

Quite a number of strong teams were not affiliated with any league.However, the time is not far distant when every college of any im-portance supporting basket ball will be a member of some organization.The league idea is a fine one, but it is still in a crude condition.Matters should be so arranged, and they will be in the next few years,

that the winners of the titles in the various leagues could meet in atournament for the Eastern championship.

The only way such a tourney could be contested would be to limitthe schedules in the league to one game between colleges, instead ofthe home and home contests that are the rule at present. The questionof sectional supremacy is, after all. not so important a matter, but achampionship series would be for the betterment of the game and thedemocracy of intercollegiate basket ball. It rests with the Inter-collegiate Committee to take the initiative in the matter.

SEASON PRODUCED FINE SPORT.From the point of view of player and spectator the game as played

last season provided better sport and offered a medium for bettersportsmanship than the game of the previous year.

The changes in the rules governing the "jump" ball and the ball

out of bounds eliminated much of the rough play. Dr. Joseph E.

Eaycroft of Princeton, and his associates on the Rules Committee madeonly a few minor changes for the 1914-1915 season. There seemed to

be a feeling that a revision of the system of scoring would make thegame ideal, especially if there was a distinction between the penaltiesfor personal and purely technical fouls, but no action was taken onthat matter. It has also been suggested that the value of the field

goal be increased from two points to three points. This would makeit possible to leave the penalty for the technical foul at one point andincrease that for the personal foul to two points. These suggestionswill probably be presented to the Rules Committee when it meets nextApril to revise the code for the 1915-1916 college year.

Except for two games, the officiating in the Intercollegiate Leaguelast season left little to be desired. One of the games in questionwas the Cornell-Columbia contest at Ithaca. Perhaps the closenessof the battle Avhich the two teams waged for the lead at that par-ticular time had a great deal to do with the rough play and wranglingwith officials, for in none of their other games did they exhibit anytraces of undue roughness.

Seldom has the league had two teams so evenly matched and sodifferent in their style of play as these two. Cornell played a fiercelyaggressive game from the start, while Columbia guarded closely andrelied on its defensive powers to cover ud a weak and variable attack.No better illustration of this can be found than the fact that Columbiascored 194 points to Cornell's 304, while 179 points were scored againstColumbia as opposed to 198 against Cornell. It was this differencein defensive power that enabled Columbia to win eight games and tiethe vastly more aggressive Cornell combination. Columbia scored only65 field goals, while Cornell made 109. Only 57 baskets were madeagainst Columbia, but 70 were scored against Cornell.The following table shows the offensive and defensive strength of

the teams :

Gil Halstead, captain of the Cornell team, earned a place in thehall of basket ball fame by scoring 130 points, leading the runner-up,Bloom of Pennsylvania, by a margin of 41 points. Halstead was out-scored by Bloom from the foul line, his total of penalty shots being68 as against 75, but in scoring from the field he leads with 31 baskets,seven more than Winship of Dartmouth, and Stackpole of Yale, who arenearest to him. Halstead set the record of the season for field goalsin a single game, scoring seven against Dartmouth. His average ofthree goals a game, however, is far under the record average of sevecf,

made by Harry Fisher when playing for Columbia ten years ago.Bloom was Pennsylvania's high score man with 89 points. Benson

was Columbia's with 80, Winship led for Dartmouth with 68, Smithfor Yale with 62, and Jackson for Princeton with 61. Yale hasthree men in the first ten scorers, Cornell and Princeton two each,and Dartmouth. Pennsylvania and Columbia one apiece.

In all, sixty-five players took part in the series and of these Ihefollowing figured in the scoring :

UPHEAVALS IN LEAGUE.In the Eastern League tbere was quite an upheaval last season. The

big surprise was the failure of Princeton to finish better than fourth,

while almost as unlocked for an event was the fine showing made byColumbia, with material that was rated far below that of Cornell,

or even Princeton, at the start of the campaign. Pennsylvania, erst-

while member of the elite, fell to pieces and finished next to last, being

separated from the cellar only by Dartmouth.The Hanoverians were the greatest disappointment. With the finest

of prospects and good material the wearers of the Green managed to

win only one game out of ten. This, in a measure, was due to the

fact that Dartmouth relies for its basket ball material on the membersof the foot ball squad. Many of the best basket ball men were injuredin Dartmouth's very strenuous campaign on the gridiron and werein no condition to indulge in the indoor pastime. The final standingof the Intercollegiate League is as follows :

LEADING MINOR INSTITUTIONS.Among the leaders in the division outside of the big league was

Union College. The Schenectady team played fourteen games and woneleven. An index to its rank with respect to the members of the bigleague can be obtained from the fact that it lost to Cornell by a scoreof 23 to 18.

Another New York State team that wound up its season with avery creditable series of successes was Syracuse. The Salt City fivewas undefeated and advanced a claim to the championship. However,Syracuse did not play Cornell or Columbia, and its schedule was toolimited in other ways to merit the team's consideration for sectionalhonors. However, that the record of the Orange five was one of thebest in the East cannot be denied.

Oberlin had the best team in Ohio, and Notre Dame starred in theMiddle West. Pennsylvania, Swarthmore and Pittsburgh produced lead-ing quintets in the Keystone State, while Colgate was a fair repre-sentative of the New Northeastern League. The defeats registeredover these teams were decisive in every instance and showed clearlythe superiority of the Syracuse representatives.Much of the wonderful work done by the Syracuse five may be

credited to Captain Lewis S. Castle at center.Colgate got out a fairly fast team, but it did pot rank with tliose

which the Hamilton institution put on the floor in past years. Thehard season in foot ball left Colgate's leading athletes in poor condi-tion for any more strenuous work and in consequence the basket ballteam fell far behind the standard. It finished last in the NorthernLeague.

Williams, too, did not do as well as in previous years, finishing thirdin the Northern League. The Purple had several top notch players,but there was little of the brilliancy of attack that was so prominenta factor in the success of the team from the Berkshire Hills in daysof yore.

Wesleyan, while defeated for the title in the Northern League, madea pretty fair showing, but it, too, fell below the standard. However,the Connecticut team upheld one reputation it has made, and thatwas its clean record on the home floor. In the last four seasonsWesleyan's five has not been defeated in the Middletown gymnasium.

C. C. N. Y. HAD STRONG TEAM.In the Metropolitan section probably the leading team was that of

the College of the City of New York. It would have been a veryinteresting contest had the City collegians faced Columbia's five forthe championship. It would probably have been a close struggle. TheC. C. N. Y. representatives eliminated every five of standing exceptColumbia, and based its claim to the Metropolitan title on the factthat it defeated New York University, which had an easy time in dis-posing of Columbia.Among the accomplishments of the City College team was a victory

over Washington and Lee, leading five of the South Atlantic Division,

the score being 27 to 22. The Gothamites also trounced RensselaerPolytechnic Institute, one of the best combinations up the State, by30 to 20.New York University's team was a rank disappointment. After a

Violet five fell to pieces. Teams like Seton Hall trounce<a N. Y. U.

with a vengeance, and it wound up its disasters with a severe defeat

at the hands of Cornell, by 40 to 15.

The Catholic championship of New Yôrk was won by St. John'sCollege of Brooklyn, which defeated Manhattan College in the decidinggame, by 33 to 15. There was no question as to the right of theBrooklyn team to the title. The week before Manhattan disposed of

its other rival for the honor, Fordham, by 17 to 15, the issue being

settled bv the margin of a single basket for the third year in succession.

St. John's, outside of the Catholic College series, met with indif-

ferent success, being defeated, among others, by Niagara University,

which rated none too high, and Seton Hall. Manhattan, likewise,

had an in and out season. Fordham had one of the worst seasons in

the history of the game at that university. It was swamped by manyfives, but ended the campaign with a single redeeming achievement, avictory over the United States Military Academy. After that success

the Fordham team slumped badly. Its worst defeat was by CatholicUniversity, 47 to 12.

Seton Hall had an unusually fast team, scoring over some of thebest fives in the Metropolitan section and gaining a double victory

over New York University. The Jersey Catholics defeated St. John'sby 27 to 15. Cathedral College had a fair five. Brooklyn Poly did notrise above the average of past seasons, due in a large measure to thehard schedule of studies that made it very difficult to put out a teamat all. Pratt Institute enjoyed more than average success, countinganiong its victims Delaware College and Albany State Normal.

RUTGERS TAKES UP GAME.Rutgers College sent a five on the floor for the first time, which

made a very creditable showing. It lost to City College and Man-hattan, but it gave promise of developing with good coaching, and the

New Brunswick institution bids fair to take its place among the leaders

in the basket ball ranks.University of Rochester, like its great rival, Syracuse, ended the

season with a fine record. It lost to Union, by 23 to 15, in an early

game, but it rallied after that and defeated Rensselaer Poly by 43 to

11, Colgate by 44 to 9, St. Lawrence by 43 to 11, and Colgate again

by 21 to 11. Coach Powell had a good squad of veterans to workwith and he got fine results.

.

St. Lawrence Universit.v, usually represented by a team which com-pared favorably with the best in the country, slumped severely and wasnot formidable at any stage of the season. The only redeeming features

of the Canton team's showing were its successes against C. C. N. Y.

The UnitPd States Militarv Academy five, which has usually rankedwith the best, could claim no such standing at the end of the 1913-1914campaign, for it plaved with an utter lack of form and could not be

relied upon. An instance of that was the defeat by Fordham. How-ever, the cadets put up some rattling fast exhibitions, especially in

defeating St. John's by 43 to 14, Pratt by 23 to 15, and St. Lawrence,in the final contest, by 22 to 11.

Lehigh enjoyed one of its best years, leading in the Eastern section

of the Pennsylvania League and defeating Penn State, the WesternDivision title Vinner, by 37 to 33. Lehigh also trounced Swarthmoreby 40 to 27. The one real blot on its record was the 27 to 13 defeat

by Y'ale at New Haven.

SWARTHMORE'S FAST FIVE.Swarthmore did better than in several seasons past, meeting with

defeat only four times in fourteen games. Among those which weredefeated by the Garnet were Lehigh, in an early season game, by20 to 19 ; New York University, Colgate. Pennsylvania, United State sMilitary Academy, Catholic University, Franklin and Marshall,Lafayette, and Lebanon Valley. Swarthmore lost to Lehigh, UnitedStates Naval Academy, Syracuse and Penn. State.The Springfield Y. M. C. A. College was represented by the fastest

team that has ever worn the colors of the institution. While Itsschedule was very limited so far as intercollegiate contests were con-cerned, the Massachusetts five accounted for a goodly share of successes,defeating, among others, St. Lawrence, by a score of 29 to 20.

Penn. State did much better than in most past seasons, winningnine games out of twelve. Washington and .Jefferson also enjoyed afirst rate season. Albright, the little college at Myerstown, Pa., hada team that compared favorably with many of the fives at the largercolleges. In Powell it had a forward who ranked with some of thefastest men in the East. The University of Pittsburgh, while notstrictly in the Eastern Division, played many games in that sectionand did only fairly well. It lost both games of the series with Penn.State—29 to 26, and 26 to 17.

Lafayette, which took up basket ball for the first time, had a verylimited list of games, but in the few contests that it did play gavepromise of producing a top notch five in the coming campaign.Lafayette played two games with Lehigh, and both were hard foughtbattles all the way despite the fact that Lafayette was new to thegame and Lehigh was good enough to win the league title. Lafayettewill join the Eastern section of the Pennsylvania League for the 1914-1915 soason.

AMHERST ALSO TAKES UP GAME.Amherst, the other newcomer into intercollegiate basket ball circles,

played only a very few games and a good line on the team could notbe "obtained. Enthusiasts at Amherst have been trying for many yearsto 2,et the faculty to sanction the sport, but it was not until wellinto last season that permission was granted. Amherst could no doubtjoin the Northern League, were It desirous to get into such companyso early in its experience.Two prominent teams of past seasons—Brown University and Massa-

chusetts Institute of Teclinology—dropped basket ball on account ofthe lack of either interest or success in that department. It is certainthat both will resume operations in the sport before another seasonrolls by.

In closing the review, a word as to the officials is not out of place.While leading men fell down badly in some of the most importantcontests in the big league, the work of the judges of play was, onthe whole, more satisfactory than in the past. Rough work was cutdown considerably and the officials snowed a much more intimateknowledge of the rules. Nevertheless, there is plenty of room for firstrate officials in all sections.

instance of this was the case of Gil Halstead of Cornell. He wasused in nearly all places on the floor, but in the opinion of thecritic, he was best at center, and it was for that position that he hasbeen chosen.

In the matter of material, no position offers an outstanding numberof candidates or a lack of fairly good ones. During the 1912-1913season there was a great dearth of first-class centers, but that wasremedied last season. The number of eligible forwards and guardswas about even. In the selection of leading players, the records arenot always a good thing to go by as some of the best forwards are"feeders" who do not appear prominent, so far as figures go, but aremighty handy men to have around when it comes to bringing theball into the danger zone.

FORWARDS.Quite an array of fast forwards was developed last season, and at

the head of the entire list stand four four men who are very evenlymatched. In fact, it is hard to see wherein any one of the quartetteclasses higher than the other. The four are Lunden, Cornell ; South-wick, College of the City of New York ; Hodge, Williams, and Neary,Rochester.

Lunden, fast and aggressive the season previous, stood out as astar of the first magnitude in the last campaign. He compared fa-vorably with the best forwards that the league produced in days ofyore, and compiled a remarkable record that was a very potent factorin putting Cornell where it finished in the championship race. Notonly was he a first class goal getter, but he was a fine player on thedefensive.

Southwick was a top-notcher in fairly fast company, and had hebeen on a five of the caliber of Cornell's, would have made his worthknown more widely. For keenness of eye and defensive strength, aswell as ability to direct, his team's play, few approached the CityCollege captain, and he well deserves a position among the leadingexperts of the East.Hodge was the leader in scoring for Williams and compiled a truly

fine record, while Neary, although played at center and other positions,established a reputation for scoring and all-around ability thatplaced him on a par with any in this section of the country.

Other forwards, who missed joining the leaders by a very small mar-gin are Stackpole of Yale, Winship of Dartmouth, Jackson of Prince-ton, Van Vliet of the U. S. Military Academy, J. Beaver of Union,Winchester and Eaton of Wesleyan, Brown of Cornell, Kennedy ofColgate, Canfield of St. Lawrence, MacKissick of Swarthmore, Freedof Pennsylvania, Schoen of Rochester-, Suarez of Manhattan, Mac-Taggart of the U.

CENTERS.Of centers there was a goodly number that merited consideration.

The leading player for that position was Gil Halstead of Cornell.It was mainly through his great scoring power that the Ithacans at-tained their high position. In addition, he was a true leader in everysense of the word, for with him out of the line-up. Dr. Sharpe'steam was pretty much at sea. Halstead was fed a lot, and made arecord pretty nearly beyond comparison in the annals of the league.Only a little way behind the Cornell captain stands Castle of Syra-cuse—one of the best all-around players in the East. Syracuse wentthrough a great season and a good portion of the credit for thatachievement belongs to the stocky Castle.

Schmidt of Princeton was also a first-class pivot man. The greatimprovement made by this player in one year was remarkable. Inthe previous season he was the worst kind of a frost at center, butlast campaign he classed with the best of them in any company.He was not only a fine scorer, but he was the best defensive centerin the league. Allison of Wesleyan and Woods of Union ranked verynear the top, too.

Other centers who classed in the upper crust were : Lucas of Swarth-more, Margeson, of Dartmouth, Garfield of Williams, Drake of C. C.N. Y., McManus of Rensselaer Poly, Seller of Rutgers, Smith of Yale,Burghardt of Columbia, Boye of the U. S. Military Academy, Rodin-sky of Fordham, Church of Pratt Institute, Seelbach of Pennsylvania,Haeberle of Cornell and Clements of St. Lawrence.

GUARDS.Great as was the number of good forwards, the aggregation of el-

igible guards was as numerous. Houghton of Union, as stated before,was the best guard in the East, considering the proposition fromevery angle. An idea of Houghton's class can be gained from thefact that, though at a defensive position, he was the leading scorerof his team, which was quite an honor, as Union won the North-eastern League pennant. Not only did he score himself, but he kepthis opponents from tallying. Taken as an instance, in three gamesagainst Wesleyan he not only held Eaton, the opposition's captainand star forward, from counting more than one basket, but he talliedeight field baskets himself.

Another crack guard was Dan Meenan of Columbia, but tba maintrouble with Meenan's game was that he was on the hospital listtoo often, and in consequence, was not of great use to his team. WithMeenan in the game Columbia presented a great line-up, but with himout of it the New Yorkers were not 'so much. There may be someobjection to placing Meehan on the first team on account of his ab-sence from the game so long, but he is too fine a player to Iseepout in the cold and he gets the position.

Pressing Meehan very closely for the first selection are Arnold ofYale and Bloom of Pennsylvania. The Qualjer played at every po-sition and it was hard to gauge his worth without seeing him performin several games. "Pop" Swihart of Yale might have earned a leadingplace but for the fact that he did not play until late in the season.Swihart resigned the captaincy at the start and retired from the game,but when called on to help in an emergency, he once more donnedhis uniform and gave his old-time exhibition.Dwyer of Columbia was also a first-class guaid, as was Huntington

of Colgate, D. Beaver of Union, Louden of Dartmouth, Westcott ofWesleyan, Schulberg of C.C.N. Y.. Trevethick of Wesleyan, Hay ofWilliams, Trenkman of Princeton, Jandorf and H. Halstead of Cornell,Bell ol Springfield Y.M.C.A. College. ,7. McGovern of Swarthmore,Green of Lehigh, Gill of Princeton, Seymour of Syracuse, and Bensonof Columbia.

In closing, it might be remarked that New York State last seasonstrengthened its hold on the basket ball supremacy among the col-leges of not only the East, but the entire country. To name thestars of the State is to enumerate the leading players of the East.It produced the best teams in this section of the country and the bestIndividuals as well.

Essex County Hospital Five, Cedar Grove, N. J.—^The Hospital Five com-pleted another successful season in 1913-14, winning seventeen games andlosing two. This quintet is composed of some of the best basket ball playersin New Jersey, including Boyle, Traubman, Weigand, Garrabrant and Hay-ward.

40th Separate Company, N. G. N. Y., Ogdensburg, N. Y.—The season of 1913-14 was a record-breaker for the 40th Sejjarate Company team. Twenty gameswere played, of which the team won sixteen, lost three, and one was a tie.

Starting out with a combination that had never before played together, theteam chalked up thirteen consecutive victories before meeting with defeat, thechampion Utica State leaguers being the first to take the guardsmen's meas-ure. The only defeats recorded against the team were at the hands of theState league fives, representing Utica, Cohoes and Gloversville, while the tie

game was with Yonkers A. A. The principal credit for the brilliant showingshould be given to Captain "Pete" Farrand. upon whom, as coach, the bruntof the development of a green team fell. Not only that, Farrand proved to beone of the strongest shooting guards outside the big league.

Basket Ball in the Collegre Settlement, 'New York City.—One bf the mostinteresting tournaments ever held in the College Settlement took place after

the regular basket ball season of 1913-1914. Six teams competed. The Lin-

colns, the champions of 1912-1913; the Roosevelts. the Franklins, and three of

the vounger clubs that had iust been admitted to the Senior Association, theKnights, Patriots and Winfields. The games were exciting, and brought out

large crowds. About fiftv players participated, and the material available

for future Settlement teams is very promising. The Knight Club went throughthe season without a defeat. The standings of the clubs was as follows:

Won. Lost. PC. Won. Lost. PC.

Basket Ball in the NavyBy Lieut. A. M. Cohen, U.S.N.,

Fleet Athletic Officer of the Atlantic Fleet.

It is doubtful if any other branch of sport in the United StatesNavy has ever made such rapid progress, both in efficiency and popu-larity, as has basket ball. »Few ships in the service, from the torpedoboats to the great superdreadnoughts, are without a basket ball squad.in fact, a basket ball team is almost considered a part of the officialoutfit of the ship.

In the First Division, which has its home port at New York, the19i;>-14 teams were composed of practically the same men as the pre-vious year, which accounts for the increased efficiency of these teams.The men were acquainted with each other's style of playing, and atthe beginning of the season were able to devote' most of their time toteam work.

Due to the shifting of the ships, it was impossible to conduct thesquadron and fleet championship games, as in former years. However,during the stay of the ships in New York last October, the FirstDivision championship games were played off. Instead of having anelimination series, where a team dropped out of the race as soon as it

met its first defeat, each team played five games, meeting each of theother teams once. Fifteen games in all were played. This met withthe hearty approval of all. The playing throughout was clean andsportsmanlike. A.A.U. rules governed. Very few B class fouls werecommitted. Neutral referees from the neighboring Y.M.C.A's. and col-

leges officiated at all games, much to the satisfaction of players andspectators. Competent scorers were on hand, so that the record ofeach player during the series was carefully kept.

That team work wins was proved by the U.S.S Arkansas five. Verylittle star work was exhibited by any of these players, but each manseemed to be in the right place at the right moment, which accountsfor an undefeated record. In the first game of the series, the U.S.S.Utah defeated the U.S.S. Delaware, 29 to 16, and the Florida lost tothe Wyoming, 52 to 8. Next evening the Arkansas won from theDelaware. 34 to 8, and the Utah from the Florida, 20 to 15. The fol-

lowing evening the North Dakota defeated the Wyoming, 26 to 18, andthe Delaware won from the Florida, 34 to 7. The next afternoon theUtah defeated the Wvoming. 36 to 26, and the Arkansas trimmed theNorth Dakota, 46 to 27. That evening the Florida lost to the NorthDakota, 29 to 12, and the Wvoming met defeat at the hands of theDelaware, 30 to 16. The following afternoon the Florida forfeited tothe .Arkansas, and in an exciting game the North Dakota defeated theUtah. 39 to 28. The teams had a rest over Sunday, but went at it

on Monday afternoon, when the North Dakota defeated the Delaware,39 to 21. and the Arkansas overwhelmed the Utah, 57 to 19.

The final and most interesting game of the series was played thenext evening, when the Arkansas defeated the Wyoming bv one basket,the score being 22 to 20. The results of the race follow :

On October 24 the Second Squadron championship was won bv theVirginia, when she defeated the Kansas, at the Norfolk Y.M.C.A., bythe score of 24 to 13.

For the second time since basket ball has been in vogue in thenavy, an inter-division championship was conducted aboard one of thedreadnoughts. In 1912 such a contest was held for the men of theU.S.S. Delaware, and the past year witnessed a similar league, on alarger scale, for the crew of the U.S.S. North Dakota, during her over-haul period at the New York Navy Yard. Twelve teams, representingeach division of the ship's company, including the band and the messattendants, competed for the honors. Over one hundred different mentook part. For two weeks prior to the beginning of the championshipschedule these teams were given special liberty to go to the NavyY.M.C.A. for instruction, and during this time many "rough edges"were smoothed off and each division was able to develop at least fivegood players. The schedule called for sixty-six games, extending fromJanuary 26 to March 2.S, and of this number only one game was for-feited. Much enthusiasm was manifested, basket 'ball being the chieftopic of conversation during leisure hours. After an exciting race theNinth (Engineers) Division won the championship with a clean record,and was presented by the Y.M.C.A. with a suitable plaque, which washung in the association trophy room.

Basket Ball in New York City's ParkPlaygrounds and Recreation Centers

By William J. Lee,Supervisor of Recreation Department of Parks, Borouglis of Manhattan

and Riciimond ; Secretary-Treasurer Interpark-Playground Athletic Association.

Basket ball was played in the Park Department's playgrounds andindoor gymnasiums during the past season with a greater measure ofsuccess and enthusiasm, than was ever before evidenced in this city.and it is responsible for a large increase in the attendance at play-grounds during the fall and winter months, due to the fact that it isthe most popular playground game during that season of the year.Many sterling games were contested throughout the season, both in

the indoor tournaments, conducted at the Hamilton Fish and WestFifty-ninth Street gymnasiums, and in the outdoor interpark-play-ground tournament, conducted by this bureau.

In the Hamilton Fish indoor junior basket ball tournament, con-ducted in the afternoons, the Wolff Juniors were the victors for thethird year in succession and received a beautiful plaque, donated by thesupervisor, to be presented to the team winning the tournament threeyears in succession. Twenty-one teams competed in the last tourna-ment.The senior tournament, conducted in the evenings at the Hamilton

Fish indoor gymnasium, was won by the Seminole Seniors after de-feating the Liberty Club, 26 to 11, in the final line-up. Many excitingand closely contested games were played. The gymnasium on manynights was packed to its capacity and many rooters had to be turnedaway.The games at the West Fifty-ninth Street indoor gymnasium were

played on a similar plan to those of the Hamilton Fish gymnasiumand met with unusual success, considering that it was the first tourna-ment conducted at this gymnasium. The Eagle Five won the cham-pionship in the junior division and the Rambler B. B. C. carried off thehonors in the senior division.

The outdoor tournament had a larger number of teams entered thanever before. Three hundred competed in the elimination games, rep-resenting fourteen playgrounds, divided into two classes, the 100-pound and 125-pound teams, in three sections, as follows :

Northern Section.—Queensboro, John Jay, Yorkville, and ThomasJefferson Playgrounds.

Central Section.—St. Gabriel's, Tompkins Square, Chelsea, DeWittClinton, and West Fifty-ninth Street Playgrounds.Southern Section.—Corlears Hook, Columbus, Cherry and Market,

Seward, and Hamilton Fish Playgrounds.

The tournament was conducted by the field staff, John J. Downing,James Ginnerty, James E. Walsh and Edward J. Flynn, under the direc-

tion of the Bureau of Recreation. John J. Downing and James Gin-nerty are expert players and referees, and they officiated at the majorportion of the games, giving excellent service in seeing that the rulesof Spalding's Official Basket Ball Guide were enforced.The prizes, gold, silver and bronze medals, were donated by A. G.

Spalding & Bros, through the kindness of Hon. James E. Sullivan and

Morristown, N. J., Y. M. C. A.—The past season was one of the most suc-cessful Morristown ever had. It was the first in the new gymnasium, andthat the game is popular in this city was evidenced by the large number ofregular attendants at the games. The Y.M.C.A. is looking forward with a.

great deal of interest to the coming season's play.

Mount Union (Pa.) High School.—The season of 1913-14 was the school's

best in basket ball, the team winning ten out of fourteen games. The starplayers were Smith and Parsons, forwards, and Rinker, center. Kiel, Shafferand Witheral played fast and clean games. Much of the credit of the successof the team belongs to the wise and careful leadership of Captain Wagner.

Iroquois Club, Chester (Pa.) Y. M. C. A.—The season of 1913-14 was one ofthe most successful in the history of this club. It not only upheld the goodname of the five previous seasons by winning fifteen games and losing only-

four, but annexed the Eastern District championship of the Y.M.C.A., whichhad been held for some years back by the Atlantic City Y.M.C.A. In its six

seasons the Iroquois team has played 163 games, of which 147 were victories.

All of the men put up a fine article of ball in 1913-14, Abbott playing excep-tionally fast and leading the team in field goals, with Paxton and G. Smithfollowing. This year was also somewhat of an exception, none of the playersbeing out of the game for any length of time on account of injuries. Theteam scored 666 points to 481 for opponents. The point getters were: G. Smith246. Abbott 180, Paxson 154, Bennett 38, Morlock 30, Maclntyre 8, and eightsubstitutes collected ten.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL QUIDB.

Basket Ball in Recreation CentersBy Eugene C, Gibney,

Supervisor of Plaj'grounds, New York City.

A CAMPAIGN FOR EXTENSIVE WORK.

The good results effected by basket ball in the Recreation Centersof the Board of Education were greatly augmented by conducting acampaign for extensive rather than intensive basket ball, by increasingthe number of active players rather than developing stars and adeptteams. This was brought about, preceding the annual city tournament,by interclub contests in every center. About three hundred and fiftyathletic clubs engaged in these preliminary contests. This accom-plished three great results. First—It encouraged the organization ofa great number of teams. Second— It enabled a great number of youngmen to play the game under supervision and with consequent profit.Third—It enabled the athletic instructors of each center to make anintelligent selection of representative teams for the city tourney.

DISCOURAGING THE REIGN OF "STARS."

The novice and ordinary athletes have always been discouraged bythe performances of stars. This is in a measure offset by handicappingin track and field athletics, but there can be no such solution of theproblem in basket ball. This fact more than anything else retards thegrowth of the game and the organization of teams. A brilliant teamthat continually wins championships in the same league naturally willimbue the others with temerity. The less adept aggregations willinevitably demur at meeting opponents whom they believe they haveno chance of defeating. In this way entries for tournaments arecurtailed and the development of teams is minimized. The RecreationCenter Athletic League, already opposed to the monopolizing of prizesby expert teams, still further reduced the opportunities for "stars" byadopting the following stringent rules :

"A player who has won a gold medal (first prize) in the JuniorDivision of the R.C.A.L. basket ball tournament may compete in thesenior class until he has won a gold medal in that division."A player who has won a gold medal (first prize) in the Senior

Division of the R.C.A.L. basket ball tournament will be ineligible tocompete in any R.C.A.L. tournament again."The enforcement of these rules did . not, however, deter the two

teams of E.R.C. No. 188 from capturing both junior and senior cham-pionships again. The phenomenal success of the teams of this center,both in our own and in other leagues, naturally dampened the ardorof the other teams. Perceiving that the extraordinary prowess of theteams of No. 188 was. in a measure, discouraging competition, it wasarranged to have the center temporarily withdraw from future tourna-ments conducted by this league. This was a final step in the campaignagainst the monopolization of the field by expert teams. The field is

now clear and it is hoped that teams of less ability, experience, and•opportunity will develop and compete.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GDIDB. 71

EFFICIENCY OF OFFICIALS ATTAINED.

The school established last season for the development and practical

instruction of basket ball officials produced a highly satisfactory

coterie of arbiters. With the officials of 1913 as a nucleus the train-

ing school was reopened on a firmer basis. All of the rules were care-

fully studied in conference and all applications of the rules were ex-

haustively discussed. When this technical information was thoroughly

digested practical demonstrations of various sections were given in

actual games played.. , , , . x ^ /

In order that the teams of the league might be properly instructed

the coaches met with the officials. The coaches therefore knew thor-

oughly at the outset of the season both the proper interpretation of the

new rules and the permissible and prohibited plays under the old rules.

This elucidation of the new and review of the old sections gave a

perfect uniformity of play and a most desirable accord between officials

coaches, and players. This tended to eliminate the wrangling that

mars the game. The provoking discussion caused by differences in in-

terpretation and the bitter protest due to lack of knowledge of the

rules were alike eradicated. The coaches who taught the players and

the officials who managed the games were imbued with the same ideas

of penalizations and a spirit of harmony prevailed throughout tue

year. Add to this the fact that our school causes all teams to be

taught the game properlv, and it will be evident that congratulations

are due the league for the inception and continuance of this innovation.

THE POLICY OF FAIRNESS BEARS FRUIT.

The keynote of the instructions to officials was "absolute fairness

and justice at all times." This was demanded throughout the year,

not onlv from referees and umpires, but from the audiences as well.

All games were contested on neutral courts and were supervised by

neutral officials. This not only precluded the hostility often mani-

fested by spectators, but also gave the players the necessary assurance

of fair play. This policv minimized forfeited games, abolished pro-

tests and instilled a spirit of satisfaction and goodwill, both in the

audiences and players. Many contests were decided by decidedly close

scores, in fact, the final game in the senior division was won by one

point and vet all were convinced of the absolute correctness of rulings

and results"". In fostering this spirit we believe we are approaching the

millenium.

STRESS ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THE GAME.

A great deal of attention was given the previous year to the technical

features of the game. We discovered that trouble often arose fiom

not having the court and apparatus in good condition for the game.

We classified our efforts in this direction under four heads, namely :

One—We Insisted on accurately and permanently marked game

^Two—We had the backgrounds supporting the baskets painted white

so that the goal could be easily seen. i„„^^Three—We kept all the balls well inflated and properly laced.

Pour—We kept all nets tightly fastened to the rims.

FINAL GAME.The final game was played at the Sixty-ninth Regiment Armory in

conjunction with the annual jumping championships of the league.Several thousand people gathered to see the events. The armory washandsomely decorated with the pennants of the centers, and the city,state, and national flags. The excellent band of the Hebrew OrphanAsylum of New York furnished a fine programme of music. Officialssecured from the high schools, colleges, Y.M.C.A's. and other stapleathletic organizations conducted the games.

In the Junior Division the superb team work of E. R. C, No. 188netted it a splendid victory over E. R. C. No. 19, by the score of 35-10.In the Senior Division the aggregation of E. R. C. No. 188 was opposedby the Brooklyn champions, E. R. C. No. 84, the finest team that everrepresented that borough. This contest was the most hair-raising eventever held by the league. The intricate floor formations used to scorepoints by both sides kept the spectators constantly cheering. Withonly one minute and ten seconds to play the score showed that theteam of E. R. C. No. 188, champions for three seasons, were flve pointsbehind their opponents, No. 84, and apparently hopelessly defeated. Thewell known spirit of "never quit," however, turned the scales. A rapidand amazing interchange of players and positions in 188"s team gaveit new life, and with three well worked signal plays from center andside-lines the team finally won by a score of 18-17.

The courage and tenacity engendered by years of good basket balltraining enabled this remarkable team to snatch a seemingly impos-sible victory at the very last moment. The gratifying phase of thegame was the fact that the play was not once interrupted by protestor by argument of any kind, and at the finish the members of bothteams were warm friends.

It is a great tribute to the Recreation Center Athletic League to beable to claim the credit of developing two such magnificent teams, mas-ters of the game, masters of the rules, and masters of themselves

—

good losers and complacent victors.The jumping championships, held on the same night, were won by

E. R. C. No. 188.

St. Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y.—The team of last season workedunder the handicap of having only two veterans back. Lafferty and Calder, thestar forwards of the 1913 team, did not return to college. Captain Canfleldand Wheeler deserve great credit for their consistent, aggressive playing.Eoundy, a new first team man, did excellent work throughout the season. Hewas the largest individual scorer. Every man on the squad is deserving ofcredit. The team lost nine out of fifteen games.

St. Mary's College, Van Buren, Me.—Although the 1914 'varsity team of St.

Mary's was one of the best that the college haa developed for several years, aseries of unfortunate circumstances prevented the team from making as ex-cellent a record as it deserved. The unusual severity of the winter in North-ern Maine and the poor train service which resulted, caused the schedule tobe" shortened considerably. The home games, however, played in the collegehall, demonstrated an abundance of alert passing and good all-around teamwork, features which were fully ajipreciated by t^.e enthusiastic spectators.A feature pastime which furnished much wholesome entertainment for thestudents, was the Interclass I-eague, whose schedule extended through tenweeks, with five games each week. The fight for the championship was livelyfrom the beginnfng. One student to whom the athletic association of St.

Mary's is greatly indebted for the good service re-j^'ered is Alton Carroll, 1915,who efficiently guided the scorer's nencil, not only tUr.Oughout the interclassseries, but also at the 'varsity games.

Pacific Athletic Association, A. A. U.,

CfaiainpionshipsBy Howard M. Strickler, San Francisco, Cal., Y. M. C. A.

The 1914 basket ball tournament for the Pacific Athletic Association•championships, in the five weight divisions, as heretofore, was heldunder the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. Federation of Northern California.At the first meeting of the basket ball committee it was unanimouslydecided to make a district map of Northern California and to placethe physical directors of the Young Men's Christian Associations incharge of the districts as follows :

District No. 1.—H. M. Strickler, San Francisco and San MateoCounties.

District No. 2.—Dr. W. W. Cook and J. P. Colley. Santa Cruz andMonterey Counties.

District No. 3.—F. A. Saxton, Santa Clara County.District No. 4.—C. F. Martin and W. L, Seawright, Contra Costa

and Alameda Counties.District No. 5.—E. C. Cunningham, San Joaquin County.District No. 6.—Robert I. Forbes, Yolo, Solano, and Sacramento

Counties.District No. 7.—L. J. Shuman and M. Sandvig, Mendocino, Lake,

•Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties.District No. 8.—Charles H. Tooze, Fresno County.District No. 9.—R. E. Wilson, Army and Navy Division.

All districts were represented with the exception of No. 6. An entryof ninety-five teams was received, and over seven hundred registered

athletes in the Pacific Athletic Association played in the seventy-five

or more games of the series. There was no taint of professionalism,

and seldom any rough and rowdy tactics on the part of the players, whowere always ready to participate in the game at the call of the referee.

Three games an evening was the usual programme, and forfeits veryinfrequent. The elimination process prevailed, that is, losing onegame eliminated the team from further participation. Large crowdsattended the contests, which continued from January 24 to February19. on an average of three evenings a week. The newspapers gave ex-

cellent support, and through them the interest was sustained through-

-out the tournament. Following are the results of the games :

County took an active interest in the P.A.A. tournament, and sometwelve or more teams were entered.

THE Y.M.C.A. TRI-CITY TOURNAMENT,The Y.M.C.A. annual tournament was held during the month of

January with seven teams, representing each of the associations, SanFrancisco, Oakland and Berkeley. The weight classes were : 90, 100,120, 130, 145, and unlimited. The Berkeley Y.M.C.A. again won thechampionship, losing but two games, the unlimited and 90-poundweights, which were won by the Oakland Y.M.C.A, The percentagescoring system was used,

Sutton (Neb.) High School.—Sutton had quite a successful basket ballseason in 1913-1914, winning twenty-one games and losing four. In pointsscored Sutton led opponents by 1,146 to 427. The team was made up asfollows: Karl Grosshaus, captain and center; Carl Nolde, left forward; HenryMelhaf, right forward; Oliver Anthes, right guard; Oscar Griess, left guard;B, Zimmer and Hugo Ochsner, substitutes, E. Clippinger, Superintendent ofSchools, was manager.

St. Anthony's College, San Antonio, Tex.—"Our team has a record second to

none in the South, having won the school championship for four years,"writes Manager Desseau. "In 1912-13 not only was it champion in the schoolclass, but in all classes, defeating the Y.M.C.A. champions two out of threegames. Last season the team played ten games, only two being lost, one to

Marshall College Training School and the other to St. Mary's College, in achampionship series of three, games. In four years St. Anthony's team hasplayed sixty games and lost but four.

University of Detroit, Detroit, Mich.—Starting the season with only one of

last year's pla,j'ers available, the university team made the brilliant record of

twelve victories and no defeats. It is claimed for the five that it scoredover a point a minute for the season. The players were good as individuals,

but as a team they showed their real strength. The team play was near per-

fection, with every man doing his share and working for unity. The regularquintet was picked by Coach Bleamaster of Alma College, as the All-MichiganCollege team, a distinction, it is said, never before attained by a Michiganinstitution.

Basket Ball in DetroitBy Joe Hoelscher.

During the campaign of 1913-14, Detroit witnessed tlie best seasonit ever had in basket ball, financially and from the playing point.There were about 275 teams playing, including the interscholastic:flves, which have a large following among the high schools.

The leagues that played gilt edge ball drew the crowds, the majoritygoing to see the newly organized City League in action, whose rosterincluded, Burroughs, Rayls, St. Louis, Y.M.O., Martha Holmes, Knightsof Equity and Packards.The class of basket ball put over by this league was better than was

-ever expected by the fans. Burroughs, the winners of the title, de-feated every team in the league and did not lose a game throughoutthe season, which is a record to be proud of. Rayls, the state cham-pions of 1912-13, was defeated by the Adders on two occasions in themost bitterly fought contests seen in Detroit in some years.

Burroughs had the best balanced team in the league and thereforewas able to put up a good article of ball. On the forward end, LeslieClark, Al Walker and Jack Miller did the scoring, while the guardingwas done by Joy Miller, Captain, and Pete Ulbrich. Jack Kinselrounded out the team by playing center. Rayls, though beaten bythe winners, was not outclassed. The line-up was composed of G."Walker and C. O'Connor, forwards ; Runkel, center ; Mott and Was-mund, guards. Runkel led the league in field baskets and also in foulshooting, although in the latter contest at the end of the season he"lost out to Norman Gordon of the K. of E. team. Martha Holmes andSt. Louis had a spirited fight for third place, which was won by St.Xiouis.

The Y.M.O., getting away to a poor start, made things interestingfor the others during the fag end of the season and finished one-halfgame behind the Martha Holmes team. Packard and Knights ofEquity teams were newcomers in the basket ball field and nothingmuch was expected of them.A unique feature of the league was the awarding of medals to the

players who showed the best sportsmanship during the entire season.They were won by Shultle of Y.M.O., Maurer of St. Louis, Mott ofEayls, Clark of Burroughs, and Williamson of Martha Holmes.

The standing of the teams was as follows :

Won. Lost. PC. Won. Lost. PC.burroughs 11 1.000 Y. M. 4 7 .364Rayls 9 3 .750 K. of E 8 9 .250St. Louis 7 5 .583 Packards 2 9 .182M. Holmes 5 7 .417

One of the best balanced leagues was the Young Men's Order. Atthe close of the schedule two teams, Carrons and Hickeys, were tiedfor the honors, which were won by the Carrons in a bitterly foughtgame.

During the season at no time were there less than two teams in first

place, and near the close four teams were tied for first place. Muchcredit must be given to the oflScers of the Y.M.O. League for the ablemanner in which their league was conducted.

The Y.M.C.A. team made a great record, winning ten and losing two.games, and ^coriag 399 points to their opponents' 232. The Y's two

defeats were at the hands of Canadian teams, Hamilton and WestEnd of Toronto. A feature in the West End game, which does nothappen very often, was the fact that Detroit was held without a fieldbasket in the second half and made only 3 points from the foul line.The West End team was in the ruck, 19 to 12 at the half time, but inthe second half scored 15 to 3.

One thing is to be regretted and that is, there is no State champion.The Detroit Y.M.C.A. and Burroughs were the two teams to play offfor the title, but could not come to an agreement. The M.A.C. teamwas out after the title, but lost two games to the Detroit Y's. M.A.C.had one of the best teams in its history, and much credit should begiven Coach Macklin.

After all has been said, the season of 1913-14 was the best onrecord, and it is to be hoped that next season more organizations willbe in operation, especially church leagues, although there were a num-ber of the latter during the past season. The writer is figuring on aplan to have more leagues during the 1914-15 season, which, when putin operation, will be the best way to develop champions of differentclasses.

Laurel Team, Sheboygan Falls, Wis.—The Laurel team last season was com-posed of players averaging about nineteen years of age, and 140 pounds inweight. It was the team's first year of professional basket ball, and, afterlosing the first game to the Stein & Callens team, champions of Milwaukee,the Laurels went into the game with a strong winning spirit for the rest of theseason. They obtained their title as Lake Shore champions by defeating theA. Imig team of Sheboygan, two straight games. This team was fightingwith the Laurels for the championship title. The latter's good playing madebasket ball one of the leading sports along the Lake Shore last season, andthey expect to have the same enthusiastic team next season.

Christ Church Men's Club Pirates. Cincinnati, Ohio.—The Pirates won elevenout of fourteen games last season, and scored 518 points to 352 for opponents.Cohan and Kunst were the stars. The records of the players follow:

Basket Ball in ClevelandBy E. S. Conner, Lincoln High School.

Cleveland had a banner season in basket ball during 1913-14. Hun-dreds of teams, representing the dififerent institutions of the city,

played independent ball or participated in regular schedules. The:schools, Y.M.C.A.'s, Athletic Clubs, churches and industrial concernswere represented by fine teams that gave to the city a high grade ofbasket ball.

The most interesting phase of the season was the final championshipseries, conducted by the Cleveland Press, at the Central Y.M.C.A. Thebest independent teams and the winners of the various leagues werein the finals. Sixty-eight teams entered the final series. These wereput into three classes, namely : Senior players, 19 years old or over,and in good standing : intermediates, 16 to 19 years old, and in goodstanding

;juniors, under 16 years, and in good standing. .After a

series of elimination contests the following teams were presented cupsfor the championship of their classes : Marottas of the Marotta Ath-letic Club, won the cup in the senior division ; the Oak Arrows of theWest Side Boys' Club in the intermediate division and the Acorns of theHiram House, in the junior division.

After the final game a banquet was given to the winners at the Cen-tral Y.M.C.A., which was a fitting windup to the season.

New Westminster (B. C.) Hustlers.—This team, winner of the city cham-pionship, is composed of five Sangster brothers, sons of A. Sangster. Tljeplayers are light and speedy, and do not average 135 pounds, but what theylack in weight is more than made up in aggressiveness. They won seven outof ten games. In the championship tournament they tied with the ColumbianCollege team, but won in the play-off by eleven points in two games.

West Side Browns, Chlcag'o, 111.—"The Browns," writes Manager Williams,"had a very successful season in 1913-14. finishing second in the 135-poundtournament, and by the addition of a few heavier players, won tho CentralA.A.U. championship last March. The same team was picked to win theNational A.A.U. championship, held at Chicago, but was defeated in the first

Ty)und. I think the reason of this was too much basket ball, but the teamexpects to come back stronger next season. This combination has played to-

gether for the past five campaigns. i

Basket Ball in Greater CincinnatiBy H. B. Lewis.

Physical Director Y.M.C.A., Cincinnati, Ohio,

The basket ball season of 1913-14 was a prosperous one for GreaterCincinnati.

This section of the country, which includes Hamilton County, Ohio,and Kenton and Campbell counties, Ky., is under the supervision of alocal organization known as the Cincinnati Amateur Athletic Federa-tion, which is an aflaiiated body of the Central Section of the AmateurAthletic Union. The federation has done much to promote cleanbasket ball and has met with some success.An effort has been made to have all teams that play within the terri-

tory register the men playing on said teams, and require that thoseteams should play games with registered teams only. It has been ahard task to get the men to see the wisdom of this move and it willrequire at least one more year to put this plan into operation.At the beginning of the season, meetings for basket ball captains were

held to arrange games for the season. It was impossible to ascertainjust how many games were booked at those meetings. The federationsent representatives to the meetings and tried to enlist the co-operationof all basket ball managers for clean sport and registered games.

Probably never before in the history of the sport were there so manyteams playing. A remarkable growth was noticed among the Catholicinstitutions.From the standpoint of organization, more leagues were in operation

than ever before, and, because of organization, there was better super-vision, hence a cleaner and better game all around.Under the auspices of the federation, a city championship series was

conducted, the chief contenders being the Covington Y.M.C.A., FriarAthletic Club, Christ Church Athletic Club, and the Cincinnati Gym.Athletic Club. After many well played games, the Cincinnati Gym.achieved the honor of being the champions of the section. The aboveteams represented Greater Cincinnati and played many of the strongestteams in the country.An effort was made on the part of the writer to ascertain from

all teams the length of time that team was organized, number ofdifferent players representing said team In games, the records ofefficient players, the teams played and scores for same, names of teamsand men who played clean games and also those who played objection-able games, and the names of competent officials. There was not avery generous response to the questionaire sent out, hence this infor-mation is of no particular value.We look forward to the coming season with a great deal of interest,

and feel that with better supervision and an earlier start, together withthe experiences of the past year, we shall have a very prosperous seasonahead of us.

ST. PAUL GYMNASIUM AND ATHLETIC CLUB.

Basket ball at the St. Paul Catholic Gym. the past season was thebest in the history of the club. There were four teams representing St.Paul in the local field, namely. Monarch, 90 pounds ; Junior, 125 pounds

;

Athletic, 135 pounds, and St. Paul's first team. The best record was


made by the Athletics, with twelve victories and only three defeats,scoring 556 points against 235 for opponents. It was a common oc-currence for St. Paul to win three or even four games in one evening.The members gave their heartiest support, both financially and morally,and a better bunch of "rooters'' would be hard to find anywhere. Muchcredit for the fine showing of the season is due to them, and St. Paulgladly acknowledges its gratitude and hopes to have deserved at least aportion of it. There was complaint of meeting with rough playing onforeign courts, some of the players coming back pretty much batteredup. It is a pity such was the case, as it is believed much harm willresult from such practice. However, with possibly one or two ex-ceptions, the teams visiting St. Paul were a fine, clean lot of fellowsand behaved in a most gentlemanly way. The exceptions were quicklytold to change their tactics or leave. Altogether, the season was adecided success.

Norwood (Ohio) Baptist Bturaca Team.—Fifteen victories and four defeatswas the record of the Baraca team last season. The three conspicuous playerswere Dodds, Roudebush and Hunt, who were selected for the All-Baraca team.Dodds scored 225 points during the season. Roudebush made 99 field goals in18 games. On December 20 he scored 15 field goals in twenty-six minutes ofplay. Hunt was a good goal shooting guard and one of the best point scorersof the team.

Chicago (111.) High Schools.^Paul Manning, Manager of the Hyde Parkteam, writes as follows: "The Cook County High School League was dis-banded in the Spring of 1913 and two new leagues formed—Chicago HighSchool and Suburban. The Chicago High School tournament was divided intotwo divisions, heavyweight and lightweight. 130 pounds and under. Therewere three sections of three teams each in the heavyweight and lightweightdivisions, and the first two teams of each section qualified to play in the semi-finals. Hyde Park, twice champions of Cook County, easily won the title ofthe Southern section, with Bowen as runner-up. Waller and Lane were tiedfor the Northern title, while Parker defeated Wendell Phillips in the Centralsection. Hyde Park, Parker, Waller and Lane qualified for the finals, withHyde Park and Waller favorites, as they had defeated Parker and Lane twice.In one of the poorest games of the season, Lane defeated Hyde Park, 18 to12, while Parker defeated Waller. In the final game Parker had little oppo-sition from the Lane five, and the championship banner went to Parker. TheLane lightweights won the championship of the minor division. The teams,were fairly fast, but they did not compare with the speed and teamwork usedin former years."

Cornells of Armour Square, Chicago, 111.—For the second successive timethe Cornells won the National Amateur Basket Ball Tournament, held underthe auspices of the Amateur Athletic Union. Manager Klawans writes of thework of the team during the 1913-1914 season as follows: "The Cornells lost

only two games of the thirty played, both of these to the strong Company E.team of the Wisconsin National Guard, which has since been declared pro-fessional. In the thirty games the Cornells scored 1,576 points to 667 foropponents, averaging 52

1/^ points per game to 221/1 for opponents. Only sevenof the games were played on the home floor, and two of these were in theSouth Park tournament. In the National tournament the Cornells gainedfurther distinction by scoring a total of 219 points to 44 for opponents, whichfalls one point short of being five times more than the opponents' scores. This,I believe, is a record for a National A.A.U. tournament. The Cornells playedbrilliantly all season, despite the fact that injuries were numerous. Theteam spirit resulted in the substitutes playing a strong game and doing theirparts in the absence of the regulars. No one man can be said to have beenthe star of the team, as the point scoring was confined to no individual. Inclosing, I desire to commend the manner in which the last National Tourna-ment was conducted by the Illinois Athletic Club. We hope to be able toappear and defend our title at San Francisco in 1915."

Basket Ball In KentuckyBy W. E. Brown, Physical Director Louisville Y.M.C.A.

Basket ball In Kentucky experieDtcJ^ a more interesting year thanany heretofore. The sport was remarkably clean and the officiatingwas of a charf^cter that speaks well for the development of the sport.Local leagues iweîfe prganized in Louisville, Covington, Lexington.Versailles, Fl-aB^fort, Henderson and Bowling Green. All of theseplaces reported a splendid interest on the" part of the spectators andimproved quality of the basket hall |5x-e^>nftd. Henderson claimed thoState championship. The team was titriêated, and tried, withoutsuccess, to inake arrangements to play ;t),ther leading teams of theState. It offered to pay the expenses of any team to Henderson, or togo to any city that would pay its expenses.

In Louisville, the Y.M.C.A. team was recognized as the metropolitanchampion, having defeateci all the local fives. Manager J. O. Blandproved a good man for the position. The Y.M.C.A. team broke evenwrith the strong Christ Church team from Cincinnati. Its only defeaton the home floor was at the hands of the Cincinnati Gym squad. Inthe Louisville Interscholastic Basket Ball League, the Louisville MaleHigh School upset all the calculations of experts by winning thechampionship from the Manual Training High School. The boys inthe latter school were conceded an easy victory, but the LouisvilleH. S. players won by the close margin of two points. The YoungMen's Hebrew Association was represented by a team of classy players,perhaps the best that this institution has turned out for a number ofyears.

The first Kentucky Regiment, under Manager A. B. Cooper, had asuccessful season, suffering few defeats. The Louisville Turners, underDr. C. J. Giesler, had a strong team, defeating many good teams. Forthe first time in the history of the institution the University ofLouisville was represented by a Class A team and won a majority ofits games. The Louisville Church Athletic Association had twoLeagues, Class A and Class B, which was the largest in the city. Thewinners of the Church Basket Ball League.. St. Andrew's EpiscopalChurch, were strong contenders with the Y.M.C.A. for the metro-politan championship. The second team of the Baptist TabernacleChurch won the pennant in the Class B league.

E. .Jamison, who officiated in practically all of the big games thatwere staged in this city, proved a valuable man with the whistle. Hewas on the job all the time, was quick to detect any unnecessaryroughness and kept the game moving very fast.

Six teams made up the Commercial League of Louisville, the leadinghonors going to Lambert-Grisham, which went through the seasonwithout a defeat.

The majority of the teams played remarkably clean ball, and althoughthere was some rough and, at times, a little unclean ball, nothingwas done so that a player was put out of the game.The following is the record of the Commercial League :

Northwestern Illinois Sectional BasketBall Tournament

The Northwestern Illinois Sectional basket ball tournament was held

in the armory at Rockford, 111., February 20 and 21, 1914. There

were eight high school contenders for the championship, the preliminary

games being played on the afternoon and evening of February 20,

and the semi-final and final contests on the following afternoon andevening.

The games were well attended. Each town, whose school was repre-

sented had a large turnout, and nothing seemed to put a damper onthe loyaltv and enthusiasm of the "rooters" for their respective teams.

The Rockland High School band dispensed music throughout the "tourna-

ment to the delight of the spectators and favorable comment was heard

^Âlthough' now and thea criticisms of the judgment of the oflicials

were heard during the heat of the games, most of the spectators were

willing to admit their entire efficiency, and Messrs. Dean and Jones

have every right to feel satisfied with their showings on the tourna-

"^^Freeport succeeded in carrying off the championship bonors, and

many agreed that the best team had been triumphant While only

one team could win, the others put up a good, stiff fight and the

result was that a splendid brand of basket ball was served to those wno<naid their money to see the contests.

Immediatelv after the close of the tournament, several of the

managers determined to strengthen their teams and with regular prac-

tice are in hopes of annexing the championship next season

In the first game of the tournament, Rockford, playing a fast brand

of ball and showing team work which brought recollections of former

vears snowed the speedy Sycamore team under and won easi y 41 to, 15

Fieep'ortf^nowed witb a victory over De Kalb, winning with a mixed

team composed of second string men. by the score of 65 to 1<. In

the night session, Sterling demonstrated its superiority over MtCarroll 40 to 24 Until th? beginning of the last half the Mt. Carroll

boys seemed to have a chance of winning, but the Sterling five proved

strongei toward the end, and the early efforts of the Ogle County

'^^s"a?t!nV*îre%Tmf îth'Volo'lfke'-a whirlwind, tbe Belvidere team

scored thfrteen points before Polo got one. The Farmers took a brace,

however and piled up sixteen points, while their opponents were gather-

in.^five more. The half ended. 21 to 16. in favor of Belvidere. With

the freshness that came from a five minutes rest the leaders started

off with a rush, wbich completely took the Polo players off their

feet and finished with the score. .50 to 24, in their favor.

The first -ame of the semi-finals on the afternoon of Saturday,

Febniarv^l brought the Belvidere and Sterling teams together..In

the first half BeMdere held the Sterling team down to thirteen points

while it amassed ei"ht. But in the second half weight and experience

toW aid t™e Sterlings rapidly added to their total until they claimed

+hp jrame at the finish bv a score of .54 to I.t.

Freeport and Rockford clashed in the second game of the semi-

final and the result was another of those fierce frays^ which always

occur when tbe ?epre?entatives of these schools meet in any sort of

>-' b. i«^ CO C'

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDB. 113

an athletic competition. About all the luck possible to the sport fell

on the Freeporters' side. They made b£^skets from any old angle, whilethe Rockfords were unfortunate in the majority of their attempts.

Hope was high in the hearts of the supporters of the Rockfordsduring the first half, at the end of which they led by a score of 20 to 15by dint of outspeeding their rivals, but in the second half the Free-porters got things coming their way, and the pistol shot, whichannounced the end of the combat, found a showing of 35 to 27 intheir favor. Daley and Asprooth earned honorable mention for theirefforts to avert defeat, while every member of the Freeport line-updid his share of the work in a style to evoke commendation.

FINAL GAME FOR THE TITLE.

A large and enthusiastic attendance witnessed the tussle betweenthe Freeport and Sterling teams for the Northwestern Illinois title.

The Sterling five was the first to score and their admirers were jubi-

lant, but the Freeporters were in no wise disconcerted and kept aftertheir opponents. Every inch of the route was bitterly contested, andthe Sterling boys put up a plucky fight, but Freeport managed to holdthem safe at all stages, and the curtain fell on a showing of 26 to 19in favor ofl Freeport. Hill, Koehler and Foy performed prodigies ofTalor for the victors, and C. and P. Farrell and Giffrow did the mostpraiseworthy playing for the Sterlings.The standing of the teams and scores of games follow :

Basket Ball in Southern CaliforniaBy H. Loren Mitchell,

Athletic Director Los Angeles Y, M. C. A.

In an effort to arrive at some system of championships, which mightbe used for successive years, and so become an accepted climax to the

season's play of all organizations, the Southern Pacific Association of

the Amateur Athletic Union compiled, in its committee's report for the

annual basket ball tournament, the following suggestive line of pro-

cedure :

All organizations conducting basket ball were notified by letter early

in the season of the coming A.A.U. tournament, and the different

weights, conditions of competition, etc., were given. They respondedheartily, and adopted the same weights in their organizations. TheA.A.tf. tournament thus became a real championship tournament for

the Southern Pacific section, in that the champions of each class in

the colleges, high schools, Y.M.C.A.'s and athletic clubs, etc., werebrought together in one final tournament under the auspices of the

A.A.U.The results justified the line of procedure. The tournament has

become an accepted climax for the finishing of the season. The best

teams from all divisions made high class and interesting basket ball,

from the standpoint of players and spectators alike.

There is being bred into the minds of coaches, managers, governingbodies, etc., the spirit of clean play and fair methods of conductthroughout. The open and passing type of basket ball won out. Thiswas clearly demonstrated by the champions of each division. They all

played the ball instead of 'the man, and the passing and team workwas spectacular in the extreme.The following report will serve as a basis of action for officers and

committees for successive years, except for such changes as time will

prove of benefit

:

REPORT OF THE BASKET BALL COMMITTEE OF THE SOUTHERNPACIFIC ASSOCIATION OF THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION,LOS ANGELES, CAL., FEB. 23 TO 28, INCLUSIVE, 1914.

Committee—H. Loren Mitchell, Athletic Director. Y.M.C.A. ; M. V.

Hartman, B. H. Dyas Co. ; Roy Haslett, Los Angeles Polytechnic HighSchool. ,. .

On January 23 the committee met for the preliminary arrangement,and as a result the following line of activity was pursued :

Circular letters of explanation and invitation were sent out to

sixty-five organizations conducting amateur athletics, among them be-

ing colleges, universities, athletic clubs, Y.M.C.A.'s, high schools, in-

termediate schools and playgrounds. The following items were in-

cluded in the letter, and would serve as a basis of action for other years.

Dat'^ of Tournament—Feb. 23 to 28, inclusive, or last week in Feb-

ruary of each year.. ,

Classes and Weights—Average 120 pounds, no man to weigh over

122 pounds; average 140 pounds, no man to weigh over 142 pounds;unlimited class, no weight limit.

. ,, ^ . Êntry Fee—One dollar per man ; each organizatiOD ailowed to enter

< 2 ^ ti ^

BPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE. 121

ten men, seven of whom may play in any one game. Date limit ofplacing entry fee to be February 12, or the second Thursday in Feb-ruary. Five dollars of entry fee to accompany entry list.

Registration in A. A. U.—This is required of every man and shallreach the office of the Registration Committee by February 16, or the-third Monday in February.

Prizes—The Seward A. Simons perpetual trophy for unlimited class,perpetual trophy for 120-pound class and perpetual trophy for 140-pound class.

Medals—The individuals on the winning team in each class to receivegold medals and the individuals in the second place to receive silvermedals. Seven men only to qualify for medals on any one team.Drawings—For first series of games to be made on Wednesday night,

the eighteenth of February, at the Y.M.C.A., or the third Wednesdayin February.Games—To be played at the Y.M.C.A. and L.A.A.C. gymnasiums.Transportation Expenses—These were refunded on the following;

basis : Full fare refunded where round trip did not exceed 50 cents ;

over 50 cents and under $1.00, 50 cents of the amount paid ; over $1.00,one-half fare refunded. „

Admissions to Games—^General, 25 cents ; nights of championshipgames, 50 cents ; season tickets, 75 cents.

Complimentary Tickets—These were given, one to each player, coachand manager, the press, A.A.U. officials, officials of tournament, andother people, where the judgment of the committee was that therewould be return value in interest or service.A Poster Contest—Was inaugurated and circulars sent out to all the

surrounding high schools and other likely places, offering prizes offive dollars for the first best poster typical of the basket ball tourna-ment, three dollars for second best poster and one dollar for the thirdbest poster. This scheme met with ready response and some fifteenposters resulted, which were placed in the most valuable places avail-able, such as store windows, entrances to Y.M.C.A. and L.A.A.C.schools, etc. The posters were comic and artistic in make-up, accord-ing to the fancy of the artist. Date sheets were fixed to the postersso as to not mar the effect of the poster.

Officials—Referees were chosen with the idea^ so far as possible, toget those disinterested. There was a dearth of good material. .JohnTorrey rendered good service and acted at a large number of the gamesin a creditable manner. The acting as referee at successive games inone night tends to slow up the game, however, and alternates shouldbe secured. Other referees who rendered good service were J. Dono-hue, Roy Haslett, E. N. Robinson, George Sim, and H. L. Mitchell. Ifseveral good referees could be secured and paid for their services, bet-ter results would be secured.

Umpires were not used at several of the games, but they should beon hand, also for the back-field work that the referee can not hope tosee.

Scorers, both on the book and the score board, should be securedfor the entire series at both the gymnasiums as it simplifies and putsall the data under one correct system.

Timers should be supplied with an official basket ball or foot ball

timer and also a gong or pistol with which to call time and so elimi-nate any possibility of overplay from the referee not hearing the signalfor end of the game.Committee work was allotted as follows—Preliminary letters, entry

blanks, and general correspondence and oversight was taken care ofby the chairman, H. L. Mitchell. Hall management, doorkeepers, etc.,

and securing of trophies, medals and the duties of secretary-treasurerwere allotted to M. V. Hartman. Advertising, securing of officials,


gymnasiums, distribution of complimentary tickets, weighing in ofplayers (before each game) were handled by Roy Haslett.

Programmes including playing dates and places and the hours, or-ganizations and classes, admissions, and a blank schedule to be filledin, were given out at the entrances free of charge.

Finances and refund for fares were computed and given out eachnight after the games.

Eleven different organizations were represented by teams and fif-

teen teams took part in the tournament, six in the unlimited class, five

in the 140-pound class and four in the 120-pound class. One hundredand sixten contestants were entered.Twenty-one games were played, twelve at the L.A.A.C and nine at

Changed to require those jumping for ball, when tossedup by Referee, to face in the direction of the basket into

which their team is throwing.

Rule XL Sec. 5 (b).

Changed to prohibit catching the ball when tossed upbetween two players by Referee.

Rule XL Sec. 6.

Changed so player jumping for ball, when tossed up byReferee, shall not be permitted to catch it.

Rule XL Sec. 9.

Changed so as to prohibit catching when tossed up byReferee.

Rule XL Sec. 20.

Changed so as to meet the play where a player with onefoot over the line throws the ball while in this position.

Rule XL Sec. 22.

Changed so as to prohibit player "inside" from touchingball while in opponent's hands who is throwing in from*'outside."

Rule XL Sec. 31 (a).

As the object of the game is to put the ball into the basket,

the words "or ball" seem to be superfluous, so are omitted.

Rule XIL Sec. 9.

New rule to assist in co-operation between teams regard-ing weight, age, height, etc.

Many other suggested changes were submitted, some ot"

them of real value, but the Committee suggests they be ex-

perimented with locally for another season before being in-

cluded as part of the Official Rules.

Where to Get Officials for ImportantGaines

Only tested officials of known ability and sterling character shouldbe selected for any game, this being of paramount importance in biggames.

To this end a selected list is compiled below, every one of whomhas been investigated and highly recommended by two or morepersons in their locality, who have seen them perform satisfactorilyand recommend them as efficient, honest and fearless in the perform-ance of their duty.

That they will suit everybody is too much to be hoped for, butsurely this list offers a higher grade of officials than can be securedby the former hit or miss plan.

This list will be enlarged from year to year until all the importantbasket ball centers are covered.

Suggestions for Officials

By George T. Hepbrox

The fact that a man is a good player is not sufficient reason for

selecting him to be an official. In addition, he must have char-

acter and backbone.

If, among others, the following characteristics are exhibited by

the officials, the games this season will be better officered, and

less friction will be manifested:

1. Instant recognition of a violated rule and the penalty for

same.

2. Backbone enough to make a decision and stick to it.

3. Abstinence from fault finding. (The duty of officials is to

make decisions—not to lecture the players.)

4. Readiness to explain in the fewest possible words why that

particular ruling was made.

5. Willingness to produce the rule as authority for action.

6. Never, under any circumstances, allowing the prolonged

discussion of a rule during the progress of the game.

7. Willingness to allow the players the privilege of appeal from

his interpretation of the rules to the proper committee.

8. Kindness and courtesy to all and the maintenance of a level

head under trying circumstances.

9.' A strong purpose to follow the rules in letter and spirit, and

a determination not to be susceptible to outside influences.

10. Will not overstep his authority, appreciating at the same

time his full duty.

11. Knows the rules so well that a reversal of decision is not

necessary.

12. Impartial in all his dealings.


Suggestions for Teams

1. Select a coach that is interested in the well-being of the

game and is not blinded with the god of victory.

2. Select a manager that will not lead the team into profes-

sional games.

3. Select only competent, impartial officials. If there are none

in your locality, develop some.

4. Select teams to play that use only the official rules.

5. Select only those teams that abide by the recognized rules,

having their games sanctioned and men registered.

6. Select teams to play that have suitable floor space so the

spectators do not interfere,

7. Select teams to play that do not allow rowdies in to see the

game, to insult your players and create disorder.

8. In short, abide by the rules yourself and insist on others

doing likewise or refuse to play them.

A letter addressed to the Secretary of the A. A. U. Basket

Ball Committee, P. O. Box 6ii, New York City, will be courte-

ously treated and information given on interpretation of rules,

and the names of the persons to whom you may apply for

registration and sanction, etc. Please enclose self addressed

stamped envelope for reply.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL, BASKET BALL GUIDE.

How to Score Basket Ball

By Luther Halsey Gulick, M.D.

The increased use of the score book last year resulted in the

teams getting down to more scientific playing. Better records

were kept, and the managers were able to size up their men moreaccurately. This score book is a necessity to the manager of

a team who wishes to keep accurate record of all his players;

who made the fouls, and what kind of fouls; who made the

goals, and under what conditions they were made. A sample

page for a single team is herewith given. In the first column is

found the names of the team and the players; in the second

column, the goals that were made during the first half. In this

column will be found three sets of marks: an X, which is a

goal from the field ; an O, which is an attempted goal from a

free throw, but which was missed, and an X inside of an O,

which means a goal thrown from a free throw. The X, of

course, counts two points, the O nothing and the X inside an O,

one point. At the bottom of the column is the total number of

points made during that half. In the third column are the fouls.

First, is Ai. By referring to the bottom of the page, under the

head of FOULS, we see that Ai is for delaying the game. This

foul, together with A5 and A4, was made by John Jones. If

A. P. Yost had made another Class B foul, he would have been

disqualified. In the second half, the captain thought that Chas.

Brown would best make the free throws, but after two failures,

he went back to John Jones, who scored two. A score kept in

this way is of the greatest value, and without it an accurate esti-

mate of the players is hardly possible.

Duties of the Captain, the Managerand the CoachBy Edwin S. Conner.

THE CAPTAIN.The captain is the important man when it comes to the game.

Generally he is elected to the position because his team-mates thinkthat he will make the best leader. After such a place is given himhe must show by his actions and bearing that he means to givethe best that is in him for the interest of the team. No man ofthe squad is more interested and more eager to turn out a winnerthan he is. So it is up to him to keep the spirit at top-notch all

the time. To do this, it is well for him to show a dash, an alert-

ness and a fight which will spur the others on. He must know therules so well that he is able to tell what they are at a minute'snotice. With fair play on his lips and a determination to set thepace for the others, he will make a good captain.

His real work comes as soon as the team is on the floor. Fromthen until the end of the game, he is the master of every situationwhich may arise. At the beginning of the game, it is well to flip

a coin for choice of goal and to have an understanding with theopposing captain in the presence of the officials about the rules andground rules necessary for the contest. Call the men together andexplain the conditions under which the game is to be played. Witheverything well agreed upon the game ought to run off quickly andsmoothly. With the first blow of the whistle, the captain shouldassume all rights of his position and see to it that they are strictlycarried out. If an appeal is to be made to an official, it should bemade the right way, then the captain should weigh it well beforegoing to the official. Unless a decision is directly contrary to therules, it is best to make the disputes as few as possible.

While the game is in progress the captain must direct the playthe best that he knows how. If things are breaking badly, call theplayers together, for some of them may see a way out. Do notdepend upon the coach too much. He will probably be ready to giveadvice between halves. Keep a close watch on the plays and players.Often the game will drop down because a man is all in or is shirking.In either case the quicker he gets out the bett'-". A substitute willplay a stronger game.When on the defence, work hard to solve the opponents' system/

of play. The minute that you find something that will break it up,let the others know. If on the offensive, you find that they arebreaking up your style of play, do not hesitate about changing It,

Keep the others guessing what you are going to do next.Treat the visitors as well as you can. Keep their best respect by

showing them that you are glad to meet them. At the time when adicker is made for choice of goal, the courtesy of granting the visit-

ors their choice is always appreciated. Never look for an advantageunless you realize that your team is weaker. There is always a lot

of pleasure in defeating a team with its strongest line-up. Oftenplayers are filled with joy when they hear that a good player on theopp'bsing team is laid up. There isn't much credit in defeating asub-team or a team that is not in shape. Keep the spirit of sucha nature that you are not satisfied unless you defeat the best thereis and conquer them fairly.

i


If you are going to play a game, don't protest it before tlie game.ETittier play or quit. Protests are never in good taste or in the truespirit of tlie game. It helps to keep the tone of the game in alow key.

As soon as the game is over, call the men together and give a yell.

Show your opponents that you are game to the core whether you winor lose. Teams that can take a defeat are the ones which ought towin. Never leave the floor disgusted because things did not breakyour way. Begin right then planning for the next game. Your turnwill come later.

In choosing a line-up it is well to consider what constitutes a goodlayer. If a man is in condition, knows the game and likes to play,

_e will generally make good. Sometimes men who are out of condi-tion play well, but what could they do if they were in good shape.The training of the captain often decides what will be good for theothers. If he is willing to sacrifice a few things to the welfare ofthe team, the others are not slow in following his example. Sucha spirit is always catching and if it gets started, it goes a long waystowards running through the team. The captain must be the leaderoff the floor as well as on it.

What you are the team will be. What you demand the team willfight for. So it is up to you, the captain, to do all in your powerto make the game clean, popular and wholesome.

THE MANAGER.Many duties fall on the shoulders of a manager for which he gets

but little or no credit. Yet he in the man who keeps th© machineoiled and in good running order. Everything crosses his path duringthe season that can be thought of. So it follows that he mtlst be oneof the most essentially well qualified men in connection With theteam.The following are among the many duties which he has to per-

form. First, the making out of a schedule ; second, the choice offloors for the game ; third, the choice of oflicials ; fourth, the finan-cial condition of the team ; fifth, the attention given to visitingteams ; sixth, the team on a trip ; seventh, the record and the reportof the games. Other things will come up but can be attended to atthe time.A gobd schedule is of vital importance to the welfare of a team.

It keeps not only the players enthusiastic with something to lookforward to, but also all of the followers of the game are interested.If it is made out so that the hard games come as the season advances,it will greatly aid in the final standing. This will help to work themen to an edge, which is the time for the hardest and closing game.Still care should be taken to arrange the games in regular order, sothat they do not come too near together or too far apart. Of course,the maturity and the condition of the men determine the frequencyof the dates. Boys ought to be contented to play for a season often weeks, with one game a week. Men can play more often, butthere is a question as to its advisability. Make the schedule asshort as the season warrants, with no open dates to interfere withthe interest of the game. If outside trips are planned, It is wellto make them at the beginning of the season. Let nothing interferewith the games which mean most to the team.

Often a manager is able to save himself a lot of trouble by enter-ing a league. If there is no such organization it is well for severalmanagers to get together and form one. Then all of the teams willplay up to the same standard, be nearer equal in strength, have theBame object in mind and will be governed by the same board. Thismeans more than it seems to at first glance. For when all are made


to observe the same rules and agree to abide by them good resultsare sure to follow.

Again the managers of the different teams might meet to discussand agree upon the rules. At this meeting it would be possible tohave the prospective officials present to help determine the meaningof the rules. With such a combined understanding and agreementof the rules, it means better enforcement and a more satisfactoryand a finer game all around.

The manager of the independent team has a hard job on hishands. Between such teams there is very little in common and thegames are likely to be of a low grade. Often the strength of ateam, the age of the players, etc., is misstated so that a team ofboys line up against a team of men. Schedules should be madeaccording to the strength of the team. It should never be under,rated. If there is any glory in a victory, it comes by beating thebest there is. Sometimes teams will back out at the last minute.To meet this a contract should be drawn up at the time of theagreement to the effect that the team canceling the game withinthree weeks of the date shall forfeit to the other team a certainBum of money. This should be signed by both managers. As soonas teams that really want to play basket ball and live up to itsspirit can be found, fix a game with them. Drop as far as possibleall the fiend teams and stick to the ones that live nearest to theheart of the game. In time this will bring good basket ball.

As soon as the schedule is out of the way and the rules are fixedupon, find out the size, kind and other particulars of the floor.Make it a rule to play on floors as near to the size of the one usedin practice as possible. Because of the change of floors many teamsof A-1 caliber have been defeated by a second-rate five. Make theconditions for both teams as nearly equal as possible. Don't invite"the crane to dinner and feed him from a plate." Be square anddemand squareness.

Most always the kind of a game played depends to a great extentupon the officials. Be sure that you engage the best there is in theplace. Get the ones who are filled with the spirit of the game andwho know the rules well. Such men are scarce. So when you findone who knows, can see and has the backbone to call, stick to him.Kot only your team needs the man, but the game needs him. Ninetimes out of ten the game turns out to be just what the officialsmake it. Too often the officials don't care for much but the feewhich is tagged to the end of the game. If they demand pay, paythem well enqugh to demand a good job.

Whatever money comes to the team comes by the planning of themanager. The financial condition is generally in poor shape. Noth-ing is more encouraging than to start the season with a clean slateand finish with something to the good. Plan the expenses on a scalethat can be met. If possible get some man or business house tofurnish the men with uniforms. Then live well within the meansof good credit. Do not go away or have a team come to your placeunless the expenses are a sure thing. It is hard for the players togo into their pockets for the support of the team. Look long andplan well the money account.

For the interest of the men, keep score and every little while posta record of the work of the players. This together with a goodreport of the games will keep the spirit away up where it belongs.Make it a point to report your own games. In doing this try to befair and give each one who was in the game credit for what he did.Don't fail to have the game in the papers.

In a word, a manager should be a wide-awake hustler who is readyto drop whatever he has if he can find something better. He shouldbe proud of the game which he represents and whatever step he


take^ should be in the direction of putting it on a higher plane andon a more solid foundation.

THE COACH.The coach of the present day means more to the men who are

under him than the leader of any other profession. He is the"Mecca" of their thought and whatever he says or does always seemsright to them. He can teach them any kind of a game and they willdo all that is in their power to follow his instructions. They longfor his advice and company and will stick to him through thick andthin. This close touch with them gives him a chance to mould intotheir games elements of a quality which will influence them throughlife.

The real importance of the coach will be more felt in the futurethan ever before. Not long ago a victory would stamp his success.In many cases his job depended upon the number of games won.To this end he must turn out a winning team. Two things werenecessary. First,, men who were physically fit ; second, a variety ofplay that would smother an opponent. When his men went on tothe floor, he knew they would meet a team fully as strong andequally as well trained in all departments of the game. To get somekind of an advantage tactics of a low nature were allowed whichmight turn the tide of battle and bring the much-sought crown ofglory. Things which were on hand, could be borrowed or could beinvented, were introduced. This ate out the heart of the game untilit was considered by many as a public nuisance. No game howeverstrong will last unless it is a living example of the spirit which it

represents. In order to make the game what it was intended to be,a stronger demand must be made by all for the best there is in it.

As soon as the coach demands the elimination of the evil tendencieaand makes his work develop and stand for the elements of 'âirnessin all things, his profession will be more appreciated by all.

Nothing detracts from a game more than a lax interpretation ofthe rules. Ignoring the rules or their spirit is disregarding therights of others. The rules must be taught. They are a wholesomepart of the game. The man who can see a chance to crawl arounda rule and breaks away from its meaning is doing a great injusticeto a team and al=o to the game. Keep at all t:mes well within thebounds of what the game ought to be. It is easy to let the rulesgo. The audience knows very little about them. They get theiropinion of the game as it is played and report it to others whoimagine the game far different from what it really is. If the coachesare proud of the game that they teach, they must teach and demandbetter knowledge and better enforcement of the rules.

There are a few things which mean a great deal to the team.Often a young coach will try to develop the team too quickly. Hehas a lot of material on hand, but does not consider the time it tookto get it. With young and inexperienced men a great deal of patienceand time must be spent. Vhe coaching that is given must be of asimple nature. Complex plays demand too much time and are beyondtue ability of the player, and they also demand frequent and longpractice, which calls for so much energy that by mid-season thewhole squad is stale. When the contest comes the players will be upagainst plays which they cannot work. The time has been thrownaway. So teach things that will be used. A fellow cannot go beyondhis ability. The team will develop faster by giving them a fev? easyplays, each new one to come only after the old one ha?, been welllearned. The team must be a machine. A simple one that will workis better than a complicated one that will not. Then of course oldermen in experience can be worked longer, harder and given more

SPALBING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE. 167

different plays. Yet mature players are often out of condition forthe hardest game. Too much, practice is often. tJie reason for a poorshowing.

The length and frequency of practice is an important factor. Toomuch work will kill a good team. Here the age and the experienceof the players must be considered. Most players, unless watched,will go beyond the point of all that is good for them. Try to makethe practice of a limited length. Demand that the players are dressedand on hand at the appointed time. Never allow them to wait. Havethe practice and get through as planned. Boys should not be encour-aged to practice more than two (2) hours weekly and thirty (30)minutes a day is plenty, while for men the time spent for the bestwork should not exceed three hours a week. The preliminary work,if light, may run for a long time, but the actual scrimmage shouldBot be longer than the contest. This will put the men in the bestpossible condition.A strong, well-trained team speaks very highly of the coach. Noth-

ing is more pleasing to the coach than a team which has been drilledimtil it is a machine. The team must be fast, sure and in order. Itmust take every advantage of an opponent. It must have a varietyof play so that a change can be made if it becomes necessary. Endur-ance and coolness throughout the game will help to make the pacetoo strong for most to follow. The team-work must be filled withaccurate, well-timed passing which ends in goal throwing. A teamthat can handle itself as a unit has been well coached!

All of the work should be in behalf of the team. Individua-l play-ing must not be allowed for a minute. When the star begins to getout of his true course in the basket ball system, the whole thinggoes wrong. Shining will never win basket ball garhes unless all five£hine.

The value of "good condition is always felt during the game. Witha good style of play and the boys in good condition, there can be butlittle doubt as to the kind of game played. The word of the coachwill go as far toward good training as that of anyone. He shoulddemand that the players eat wholesome food and that they get plentyof rest. If each man is expected to live right during the season hewill generally do it. The fellows must be made to feel that this iatrue. It isn't a case of watching over a fellow ; it is a case of hiawillingness not to do the thing which hurts him. Encourage theboys to take a good bath with a brisk rub-down following the prac-tice. The bath had better come before the player begins to cool off.Many coaches coach from the side lines. If this is legal, then it

is all right, but if the ru'es forbid it, it is poor policy. For it i3hard to teach a rule if the teacher cannot keep one himself. Thiscomes to the point as to whether it is the skill of the coach or theBkill of the player that he has trained that is being shown. It isthe best .plan to do everything in connection with the game as itBhould be done.

Advise and encourage the players before the game. Watch theirplaying. Correct it during the time between halves and let them dothe rest.

Teach each man what is expected of him. Let him understand thatlie is to give what he has in him to the game. If things arise whichare against him, have him tell the captain, Who will see to thetrouble. Many teams are run without the players having any ideaof what they are to do. This means poor basket ball.The coaches must work more for the popularity and love of the

game than for the victory. If they do not some other game will takethe place of basket ball.

Basket Ball in Missouri

THE GAME IN ST. LOUIS.

By a. a. McLaughlin,Physical Director Central Branch. Y. M. C. A„ St. Louis.

The basket ball season of 1913-14 in St. Louis was the best in manyyears. This boom was due somewhat to the organization of a SundaySchool Basket Ball Association. This association was organized earlyin the season, with twenty-eight churches represented. Four of these,however, dropped out, leaving four good leagues of six teams each.On these teams there were many old high school and college stars,

also many well known players from independent teams, but all bonafide attending members of Sunday schools, having met every require-ment. Several teams were made up almost entirely of beginners, andbecause of this fact, it was decided to organize in classes A, B andC, etc., for next season. At the close of a ten weeks' series, the win-ners of each league played for the association championship in theCentral Y.M.C.A. gymnasium.

The first game in the elimination series between the Compton HeightsBaptist and Union M. E., winners in the Central and Northern leagues,respectively, was won by Compton Heights. The second game, be-tween Compton Heights Christian and the Second Baptist, winners inthe Southern and Western Leagues, was won by the Compton HeightsChristian.

rn the finals the two Compton teams played a fast, clean game, theCompton Heights Christian winning easily, thus becoming the asso-ciation champions, not having lost a single game during the season.The officials of the association were well pleased with the interest

sHown, not only on the part of the players, but also on the part ofthe spectators.

In view of the fact that it was the first year so many teams underthe auspices of the Sunday schools took part, with many new playersand many players used to a different style of play than was allowedin these games, only four men were put out of the game for eitherungentlemanly conduct or talking back to officials.The High School League has been a large factor in basket ball for

several years, and was especially interesting last season. The race forfirst honors was tied at the end of the schedule and a special serieswas arranged. These games were well attended, and a close, cleancompetition was prevalent at all times.The First Regiment had a league representing the various com-

panies. Company A. won the Armory championship and later defeatedthe Royals, the fastest and cleanest independent team in the city, there-by winning the city championship.The Central Y.M.C.A. had several leagues for grammar school, high

school and employed boys, also two senior leagues.There were many independent teams, the Keen Kutters being one-

of the best. These teams for the most part represented businesshouses.

There were a number of teams representing settlement houses, mis-sions and smaller clubs. The Boyle Center Mission had the best in-termediate team in the city.

GREATER KANSAS CITY BASKET BALL LEAGUE.By D. Kkedy Campbell, Kansas City, Mo.

The Greater Kansas City Basket Ball League had a big season in1913-1914, and both divisions of the organization developed good, closeraces throughout the three months' schedule. The league was wellhandled by J. M. Robertson, president ; S. H. Zilisch, vice-president,and George AV. Ragan, secretary-treasurer.

Another feature of importance that had much to do with the successof the league were the officials. L. L. Hoopes and C. B. Root, physicaldirectors of Westport and Northeast High Schools, respectively, actedin this capacity and their splendid work kept things well in hand atall times. There was absolutely no rough play or rowdyism at anytime. There were eight teams in each division at the start, but threeof the 135-pound class failed to complete their schedule and weredropped.

The standing of the teams at the close of the season was as follows

:

K. C. Southerns 2 12 .143K. C. University 1 13 .072

It will be seen from the above that the Lowe-Campbell teams cap-

tured both championships. In the big league they were conceded thechampionship almost from the start, but in the first game with Bat-tery B. suffered defeat by a scant three points, two of its regulars

failing to show up in time to play. Later in the season, however, withthe regular line-up, it had little trouble in defeating the soldiers. TheJuniors had a much harder row to hoe, being in second place down to

the last game of the season, when they defeated the Central BusinessCollege bv two points and tied up the standing. In the play-off theymanaged "to nose out, bv a scant one point, in a most exciting contest.

The following men were picked as All-Star teams in the twodivisions :

UNLIMITED WEIGHT ALL-STAR TEAM.Goldman (Lowe-Campbells) and Satterlee (Lowe-Campbells), forwards; Kasey

(Lowe-Campbells), center; Dancy (Battery B), guard; Ragan, Capt. (Lowe-

Campbells), guard. ^. ^ .,. I, V, •

On individual merits there was no question as to the above choices.

Goldman and Satterlee, both six feet two inches tall, were in a class


by themselves. Goldman has for a number of years past been con-sidered the best forward in the West, for, besides his height andstrength, he shoots with either hand, and is fast on his feet. Satterlee,although a good scorer himself, is always working for team worlc andmost of the baskets made by his teammates are the result of cleverpassing and blocking. Kasey, at center, could outjump every man heplayed against, was a perfect whirlwind of speed, and a wonderfulscorer. Both Goldman and Kasey scored more than twenty basketseach on several occasions in a single game. Scyster, six feet fourinches tall, was also good at center and a reliable scorer. Ragan, cap-tain, played guard and, like Vogel, the other guard, was short instature, but strong and extremely fast. Peckinpaugh played everyposition at one time or another and acquitted himself admirably. Thisteam also played numerous out of town games, meeting the best teamsof Missouri and Kansas without a defeat and having a season's recordof twenty-five games won and one lost.

135-POUND ALL-STAR TEAM.Menze, Capt. (Central Business College) and Turner (Lowe-Campbell, Jrs.),

forwards; Goff (Lowe-Campbell, Jrs.), center; Grady (Lowe-Campbell, Jrs.),and Stubbs (Lowe-Campbell, Jrs.), guards.

Louis Menze was in a class by himself in this league, and it wasmostly due to his work that his team held the lead nearly all season.The Lowe-Campbell Juniors were a better balanced aggregation and it

was this quality that won out for them. Turner was a good scorer,while (ioof proved himself easily the best center in the league. Gradyand Stubbs were the fastest pair of guards seen in this division inseveral years, and worked splendidly together. Both also were goodscorers.The league will be reorganized next season and will play along the

same lines. Interest in the games was suflficient not only to pay oflficials,

but, including a five dollar entry fee paid by each team, the treasuryhad sufficient funds to purchase gold, silver and bronze watch fobsfor the three winners in each division.

AGOGA UNION OF GREATER KANSAS CITY.

This organization was composed of six teams, selected from classes

in the Agoga Union of Greater Kansas City. The following BaptistChurches were represented

:

Armourdale (Kans.) and Benton Boulevard, Calvary, Centropolis,Independence Avenue and Roanoke (Mo.).The whole schedule was played in a church gymnasium, at Admiral

and Highland Avenues, and the games were well attended. Theleague was self supporting and turned back a neat sum to each class.

The Independence Avenue team led the league until near the close,

when Calvary defeated it. The regular schedule ended with the twoteams in a tie for the honors. In the play-off Calvary won, 29-20, in

a fast game. A good spirit was maintained throughout. No playerwas disqualified, and but one Class B foul was called during the season.

Benton Boulevard, though failing to win a game, fought to the endof the schedule. The final standing :

SUNDAY SCHOOL ATHLETIC LEAGUE OF GREATERKANSAS CITY.

By George P. Norton.The Kansas City, Kansas, division had a very successful season".

The Missouri division had no regular schedules, but there were many.games played between the different Sunday school teams, which werenot directly under the auspices of the Sunday School Athletic League.The officers of the league had thought best, owing to the lack offinances, to omit it this last season in order that the churches mayrealize that they owe financial aid to the league as well as to anyother department of their work, and I am happy to see that theyrealize this as never before, and I anticipate that next season we willhave the largest basket ball entries of any season, thus far in theleague. There is much good that has come from the organized effortof the league in the Sunday school work. Many members have joinedthe various ehurcbes through the efforts of the league.The objects of the league are to' produce clean athletic sports amoni

the various churches and church organizations, and it is surprising tdsee what good has been accomplished along these lines during the lastfew years.

KANSAS CITY (MO.) Y. M. C. A.

The second season of the intra-organization basket ball closed suc-cessfully. There were seven divisions, enrolling a total of 482 menand boys in forty-six different teams. After the close of these leaguesa championship series was held and the winner of the Evening ClassDivision won in the association championship. An interesting experi-ment was tried in the bringing together. of the two winning teams fromthe St. Joseph and Kansas City Y.M.C.A.'s. Both organizations hadrun similar leagues, and the meeting of the winners was an interestingclimax.

The teams in the seven divisions were made up as follows :

Grade School Division No. 1—Wenberg, captain ; Rose, DeVorss, Har-ton, Guthrie, Mai Ion, Peugnet. ':

Grade School Division No. 2—Beebe, captain ; Bigus, King, Ander-son, Griffith. Henderson. Parsons.

was the .aim of all the teams to play the game in a good spirit, withthe exception of an occasional player losing his control in the heat ofthe game, but the whole tendency throughout this section has been toplay a rough, scrimmage game. In consequence, fast play is synony-mous, in the minds of almost all the local players, with foot balltactics, running into and holding players, shoving, etc. Unfortunatelyfor the game, most of the men who really play a fast game and whocome to us from other sections, are ex-collegians who foster and up-hold this practice under the fiction that intercollegiate rules permitand necessitate it. Consequently, officials who attempt to be governedby the rules are very rare and most unpopular. For the same reason,the conduct of the audiences leaves much to be desired, it being usualto consider a strict official as a "spoil-sport" interfering with the con-duct of the game.The possibilities of the game are great. It is extremely popular, but

there is an urgent need of public education along the line of true sportand the spirit of friendly rivalry, rather than enmity between opposingteams. Strict and impartial officials who know the game are a neces-sity if basket ball is ever to come into its own in NorthwesternMissouri. The following are the records of the various leagues :

Basket Ball in NebraskaBy W. a. Kearns,

Physical Director Lincoln Y. M. C. A.

In reviewing the basket ball season of 1913-14, in Nebraska, twofacts stand out before all others. The first is the widespread interestin the game, and the second, the high quality of ball that has beenplayed by the majority of the two hundred teams over the whole State.

This number was not confined to the Eastern and more thicklysettled portion of the State, but in the towns of smaller size and inthe extreme Western portion, A No. 1 teams often coming from thesmall town schools. The chief handicap in the latter towns was tofind a proper place to play. If the floor was suitable for the playersit was often impossible to accommodate many spectators. However,we have pulled through a great season of activity, the greatest in everyrespect that our State has ever gone through.

There has been an increase in knowledge of the game on the part ofteams and individuals as well. To see many good men in action hastaught the game to many beginners and this opportunity is affordedeach year at the State high school tournament, held by the Universityof Nebraska. Several Y.M.C.A. teanis are always fast, and the seedof good basket ball has been pretty well scattered.

In addition to the State higli school tournament, the Omaha andLincoln City League games were the principal ones played outside of

university and college competition. Good basket ball was the rule in

these leagues.The officiating was fair and impartial, with a liberal interpretation

of the rules to insure a fast, interesting game. The following officials

showed the greatest ability to handle games : Sam Waugh, E. \Y. Bran-non, Arthur Hiltner of Lincoln, and V. C. Haskell and J, T. Maxwellof Omaha Y.M.C.A. One gratifying fact is that very few cases of ex-

treme roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct of the vicious type marredany of the important games. It was entirely absent at the State tour-

nament of high schools and very few cases were heard of in thescheduled games of the individual teams. One of Omaha's high schoolmen was put out of the game for the rest of the season after playingobjectionable ball in the South Omaha and Omaha game. Discipline

was not needed in the fast Y.M.C.A. leagues in very many instances.

Space does not permit of an individual record of all the fast high

school teams. Owing to the number, the high school associations of

the State could not possibly have determined the championship, hadit not been for the final university tournament, held at Lincoln, March12 to March 15. inclusive.

STATE UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT.An entry list of sixtv-four teams was enough to make this the big-

gest event for Nebraska high schools, and it is claimed that it wasthe largest tournament of its kind in the United States. These sixty-

four included teams from every corner of the State. Three large fioors

were used, including that of the Y.M.C.A. Omaha and Lincoln fought

their way through, playing six games each to the finals, and then

battled in extra time to decide which team should hold the title. Thegame was close, Omaha having tied the score in the last minute of

forty minutes of play, making it 18 to 18. In an extra five minutes of

play Lincoln threw one free throw and a sensational basket from the

middle of the floor, and time was called, with Lincoln 21 and Omaha 18.

Many teams played good basket ball, though the number of gamestold in the endurance of most every team. Sidney, Sutton, Hastings,

Beatrice, University Place, Crete, South Omaha, and York were the

teams that showed special and consistent strength in all departments.

There was no wrangling with officials during the tournament, and the

o-ames were fast but clean. The final contest was the roughest of all,

ten fouls being called on Omaha and nine on Lincoln. Dirty play wasnot evident at any point during the game.

choice which it made for the All-State High School team. This choice

has met with approval all over the State :

Looking forward to the season of 1914-15 it is safe to predict anincrease in the popularity of the sport. The game draws more spec-

tators and more teams are in the field every year, and there is noreason why the increase should not keep up. In 1912-13 the Statetournament boasted forty-five teams. 1913-14 saw an increase to sixty-

four teams, and in all probability there will be a similar increase in

1914-15. This ratio just about measures the increase in the game out-

side of the final tournament and in the Y.M.C.A. leagues in the prin-

cipal cities. Grand Island, Fremont. Hastings, York. Beatrice. Seward,Chadron and North Platte are all promoting leagues, which will growand spread good basket ball. The interest can not die out. when those

in charge of schools and physical education throughout the State

concede that basket ball is a great factor in the lives of those on the

teams and for those who experience the exhilaration from the side

lines of seeing good basket ball played.

Woodward High School, Cincinnati, Ohio—This school won seven out of

eleven games plaved during the season of 1913-14, starting off by capturing

four straight. Then the boys got a notion into their heads that they were m-vincible and failed to practice. The result was they dropoped two straight,

and in the last six games won only three. Taken all in all. the season wasa success and the plaving of the team appreciated, large crowds attending all

the games. No other sport is so popular as basket ball at the WoodwardHigh School.

Pacific College, Newberg, Ore.—Basket ball flourished at Pacific College dur-

ing the season of 1913-1914. Out of eleven games played, the team won eight.

Replogle was the principal point getter, with 144. Hinshaw scored SO, Gulley

70. Calcord 30, and Haworth 8. The five remained intact throughout the

season, and not a man was disqualified. Few fouls were called on the team.

The referees especially A. M. Grilley of the Portland Y.M.C.A., and Mr. Irle

of the Weonas of Portland, officiated very satisfactorily. The two gameswith Columbia, both won by Pacific, were the roughest of the season.


Basket Ball in TennesseeBy a. S. Keim, M.D.,

Director Physical Education Y, M. C. A., Nashville, Tenn.

On the whole, Tennessee had a very successful basket ball season in1913-1914. One of the most favorable signs, perhaps, is the awakeningof all interested to the need of thoroughly trained officials in order thatall match games may be conducted satisfactorily. Reports sent in fromall parts of the State, in most every instance, contains some reference tothe necessity of good officials, or to the satisfaction given by good officials.

Certainly it seems that a game with so much possibility' as basket ballshould not be spoiled from the spectator's standpoint, or the player'seither, because of poor officials. Perhaps the cardinal sin has been thefailure to properly interpret the rules governing rough play, and I sug-gest that the rules committee devote a page or two of instructions toofficials in the next Spalding's Official Basket Ball Guide, in order thattheir duties might be more clearly outlined.

Beginning with the East end of the State, the University of Tennesseehad a very succf^ssful season. Seventeen games were played, ten abroadand seven at home. The team was successful in fifteen of these games,scoring 598 points and their opponents 294. Its strength lay principallyin the two forwards. V. Klein, and L. Reeder. All of the men but one,return next year. The team will, more than likely, be in better condi-tion than last season. All of the games played at home by the Universityof Tennessee were played on the Y.M.C.A. court at KnoxVille. The Sun-day School leagues in Knoxville also played their games on the Y.M.C.A.court. Eight teams were entered in this league, namely, First Presby-terian. Fort Sanders Presbyterian, Second Presbyterian, First Methodist,Church Street Methodist, First Baptist, Broadway Baptist and BellAvenue Baptist. The Church Street Methodist won the championship.

The Knoxville Prop High School League was composed of three teams.Knoxville High School, County High School, and Young High School.Knoxville High School won the championship with a record attendanceat the final game, having six hundred spectators. R. W. Tapp, BruceSusong, and W. P. Toms acted as officials in most of these games, andfrom air reports were very satisfactory.

Maryville College also had a very successful season in basket ball.Besides having the representative team and a big squad out for prac-tice it organized two leagues of eight teams each in the student body,which played out a series of games among themselves. The members ofthe winning team of each league was presented with a silver medal. Inall, there were 127 male students in basket ball and almost equally aslarge a number among the girls. This is a splendid example that manyother universities and colleges might do well to follow.

In Middle Tennessee, while most of the prep schools and colleges hadrepresentative teams they did not measure up, with few exceptions, tothe standard set heretofore. Vanderbilt University was one of theseexceptions, having both of its old forwards and one guard back. Theother guard and center were exceptionally strong men and they de-veloped some splendid team work. The team was fairly successful ontrips abroad, but on account of a small court and inability to accommo-date any great number of spectators, had few games at home.

Vanderbilt wound up the season with two very exciting games withthe Nashville Y.M.C.A. Ramblers on the Y.M.C.A. court. These games

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE, 191

drew the biggest crowds ever seen in this section of the country tobasket ball, about 700 being present at the first game and between 900and 1,000 at the second game. These two teams were very evenlymatched and the exhibition of team work was such as to put a thrillinto every spectator. The first game was won by the Ramblers, 32 to 31In order that Yanderbilt might be more at home on the Y.M.C.A. courtarrangements were made for the team to practice there, in between thetime of the first game and the second, which was pulled off about twoweeks after the first. The second game was won by the Ramblers bv ascore of 40 to 24, Yanderbilt not coming back in the second half of thisgame with anything like the form displayed in the other game.

The most pleasing thing about these games was the exhibition ofsportsmanship displayed by the members of both teams. With all theinterest and feeling that was displayed, the players conducted them-selves on that high plane of sportsmanship that made every one feelbetter for having seen the men stand the test.

The Ramblers earned the title of State champions by defeating Van-derebilt in two games, and also because of the many victories during theseason. Of the eighteen games played only one was lost, and that wasthe first one played. They scored 747 points to their opponents' 350.The team work developed by the Ramblers was of the highest type, andwas their point of advantage against their opponents on all occasions.The Brownies, another Nashville Y.M.C.A. team, had also a very suc-

cessful season, playing fifteen games and winning twelve. Their seasonwas marked by the noticeable improvement of their playing as the seasonadvanced.Among the prep schools in Middle Tennessee, Castle Heights had the

greatest number of victories, the F'itzgerald-Hughes team being second.The Hume-Fogg High School of Nashville, besides having a representativeteam, conducted a successful basket ball tournament among the studentsof the various classes, which added quite a little interest to the game.

The Grammar School Athletic League, organized rather late in theseason, played off a series of games with six schools entered, and bigcrowds attended every Saturday afternoon. Each school had its cheerleader and its school color.

As we have received no oflicial reports from the Western section ofthe State we can only give what has come indirectly to our attention.The county high schools in that section had a very successful league. Therepresentative team at the Memphis Y.M.C.A. had a fairly good season,winning a great number of the games played. Union University, atJackson, did not have as strong a team as it did the previous year.

To sum up the situation of the State, we would say : First—That weare badly in need of ofticials who can control the games and bring outthe proper interpretations of the rules governing same. Second—Thegame is growing in popularity and that a greater number of spectatorscan be gotten out now than at any other time in its history. Third—Thatthe coaches and the men, who make up a team, are anxious for the gameas it is intended to be played, and will welcome the oflacial who can showhis ability to keep the game on that ba sis. Âdvent Memorial Club, Cincinnati, Ohio.—This club was represented by two

teams during the season of 1913-14, the Pilgrims and Juniors, It was the first

time the teams plaved together and they did very well. The Pilgrims won ten

games, two by forfeit, and lost four. Green led in baskets scored, and Coffin

in goals from the foul line. The Juniors won six games and lost five. Ells-

worth Lanferseick and Havniond O'Brien played strong as forwards, and bothwere verv good at throwing the ball. James O'Neil and Larry Stapleton,

guards, were hard men for the opposing forwards to get away from, andRalph Lanferseick, the center man. proved to be one of the best jumpers andall-around players in the city. The athletic committee expects great thmgsfrom this bunch of youngsters next season.


Basket Ball in UtahBy William E. Dat^

Director of Physical Training, Public Schools of Salt Lake City.

The readers of Spalding's Official Basket Ball Guide, I take it. willbe more interested in "whafs doin' " in basket ball in Utah ratherthan perusing a dissertation on the game itself and the reasons whythis or that team won or lost. Basket ball is popular in Utah and itis hoped always will be. This popularity is due largely to the adapta-bility of the game itself and partly to the generosity of the sportingeditors in Utah in granting a liberal amount of space for "write ups"of the games. If the readers of the Guide will consider the fact thatUtah is five per cent larger in territory than all New England andwith a population of but 873,351, it will readily be seen that the dis-tances are great, and, with the high rate of railroad fares, it makescompetition, such as obtains in the East, almost prohibitive here, ex-cept where there are some natural groupings of towns that may easilyget together and thus keep down necessary expenses.The Amateur Athletic Union rules are the only ones used in Utah,

consequently there is no confusion regarding basket ball laws, although,at times, it would seem wise to have conference on rules early in theseason, so as to observe a uniform interpretation of them.

There were five main leagues in Utah during the season of 1913-1914,namely : Interscholastic, Intercollegiate, Latter Day Saints ChurchSchools, Commercial and a Sunday School, the latter two being runby the Salt Lake City Y.M.C.A.

In the intercollegiate there were four teams, Brigham Young Uni-Tersity of Provo, Brigham Young College of Logan, University of Utahat Salt Lake City and Utah Agricultural College at Logan. Each teamplayed a schedule of six games, and the winner of the league, theB.Y.U. team, came through with a loss of but one game. Ki'en interestwas displayed in all the interscholastic league games, in which therewere twenty-five high school teams, divided up into six divisions, asfollows : Salt Lake, Alpine^ San Pete—Sevier, Nebo, Southern and theNorthern, the latter being divided into two subdivisions. Southern andCache. L.D.S.U. team won in the Salt Lake division. Pleasant Grovein the Alpine, Richfield in the San Pete-Sevier and Spanish Fork inthe Nebo. The Box Elder team won in the Southern section of theNorthern division and Well?ville in the. Northern section. In theplay-off for a place in the final tournament. Box Elder won, makingsix teams for the finals at Provo, Avhich was won by Spanish Fork.

In the Latter Day Saints Church School League, there were twelveteams, divided into the Idaho, Northern, Central and Southern divi-sions. Fielding Academy won in the Idaho, Oneida Stake Academy inthe Northern, L.D.S.U. in the Central and Murdock Academy in theSouthern division. In the fijial tournament at Logan, Oneida StakeAcademy won the championship. In the first round of the CommercialLeague,' at the Salt Lake City Y.M.C.A., the Hardware team won fromLucas, 17-12, and the latter team won from the Hardware boys in thesecond round, 26-22. Each team took all their other games until theycame together in the third round. Hardware finally going down todefeat by a 19-12 score.The season was very successful, both in number of attendance and

in enthusiasm. Bach' member of the winning team, the Lucas, re-

ceived a silver watch fob in the shape of a basket ball.


The Y.M.C.A. Affiliated Church Basket Ball League of Salt LakeCity, was organized late and played two rounds. The season, thoughshort, was snappy and full of interest, each team having a good fol-lowing of loyal rooters, and at the close the Burlington Baptist andPhillips Congregational teams were tied for first place and had to playa deciding game, Burlington Baptist winning by 19 to 18.

Pacific Northwest Intercollegiate

ConferenceBy John R. Bender.

Athletic Director Washington State College,

The game of basket ball in the Northwest colleges proved muchmore successful last season than it has in any of the previous years.Whitman College, which for several years failed to be represented in

the Conference, showed up with a fairly good team, although it

finished last.

The Conference was divided into an East and West Side, the EastSide being made up of the University of Idaho, Washington StateCollege, and Whitman College, while the West Side comprised theUniversity of Washington, University of Oregon and Oregon Agri-cultural College. The winners of the West Side met the winners of

the East Side, on a neutral college floor, and handily defeated themby winning the first two out of three games.The games on the East Side between the University of Idaho and

Washington State College were very close, Idaho finally winning thelast two deciding games. On the West Side, the University of Wash-ington won easily from both Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College.

In the final series between the University of Washington, the West'Side champions, and the University of Idaho, the East Side champions,Wasliinytou won the first two games and therewith the Conferencechampionship.

While in the 1912-13 season there was more of tendency to play thedefensive style of game and play the man instead of the ball, last

season the reverse was true, and most of the teams had a very fast

and clever bunch of passers.The University of Washington, in particular, had a team that was

like lightning on its feet. Everj^ man could pass and shoot to goodadvantage, making them at all times dangerous. In fact, the teamwâs easily the class of the Conference and deserved to win the title.

In picking an All-Nprthwest College team, the writer feels that there

were many men, perhaps, who deserved being placed on the team, buthis final choice is as follows :

Forwards. Loux (University of Idaho) and Dewey (Oregon Agricul-

tural College) ; center. Savage (University of Washington);guards,

McFee (University of Washington) and Fancher (University of Wash-ington).


WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE SECOND ANNUALINTERSCHOLASTIC TOURNAMENT.

The high schools of the Eastern part of the State of Washingtonshowed a far superior bunch of basket ball tossers last season than theprevious season, both in the knowledge and the skill of the game.The tournament, instead of being an invitation affair, was put on a

competitive basis, in that the territory was divided into various dis-tricts and the teams in the respective districts were made to play-offfor the honor of coming to the tournament. This method, of course,eliminated the weak teams and put ten good ones into the meet atPullman.The following teams were represented : Cashmere, Latah, Walla

Basket Ball in New OrleansBy L. di Benedetto.

Secretary Southei-n Association A. A. U.

Basket ball in New Orleans had a great season in 1913-14. Be-ginning with the Junior League, which was composed of six teams,the season ended with a series among the heavier teams, knowm as theSenior League. The Juniors played by far the best game, and thoughthe race seemed to lay between the Young Men's Christian Associationand the Young Men's Gymnastic Club, the other teams made it interest-

ing for a short period.The Gymnastic Club turned out by far the best team, as will be

seen from the standing, and finally won. The only defeat suffered bythe champions was at the hands of the Acmes by a 16-10 score, but in

the final game of the series the gymnasts won, 23-20, thereby causinga tie and an extra game. In the play-off the Y.M.G.C. was successful.29 to 22

The Catholics, a new team in the field, did remarkably well, defeat-ing every team in the league except the two that fought it out for thechampionship.

St. Mary's College, Dayton, Ohio.—According to Manager William Wagner.Jr., St. Mary's team of 1913-14, although light and inexperienced, made acreditable showing, winning a majority of games. The schedule embracedsuch high class teams as Ohio State and Denison, the latter champions ofOhio. Inability to shoot baskets was the chief defect. Clever pass and floorwork Invariably enabled the team to secure more shots than opponents, whichadvantage, however, it failed to turn into points. The proficiency in teamplay was largely due to the efficient coaching of Harry Solimano and Al.Mahrt, former St. Mary's players. With practically the same team backprospects are bright for next season.

Stevens Point (Wis.) Boy Scouts.—The scout team had a very successfulseason. Nine games were played, of which seven were victories, one beinga forfeit from Auburudale City because of its non-appearance. The teamscored a total of 191 points to 120 for opponents. It was plainly seen thatthe Scouts "had it on" all the neighboring scout teams, as the scores wouldindicate, and when the boys were able to beat one of the high schools, it wassomething to gloat over. Next season, with the same line-up, the Scoutsought to be able to be classed with the high schools and to have a regularschedule of games. Kelly and Stemen, forwards, were a fine pair. Wheneverthe opposing guards could hold them scoreless they had to play the game forall it was worth. Stemen was probably the best floor man on the team. Kellyhad an eye for baskets that no other nian had. Captain Burns, center, showedhimself to be a great player, always outpointing his opponent, besides playinga great defensive game. Two better guards could not be found than Krembsand Bourn. It seemed as though each knew where the other was all thetime. West played in several games and showed that he had the necessarymaterial in him. As a unit' the Scouts outplayed all other teams in thevicinity. With another year's training the Scouts should certainly becomesome team.


Intercollegiate Basket Ball League ofCalifornia and Nevada

By Gerald P. Beaumont, Secretary, Oakland, Calif.

The initial season of this league was an emphatic success. It wasorganized at Oakland, Calif., January 27, 1914, by representatives ofthe University of California, Stanford University, University of Nevada,St. Mary's College of Oakland, College of the Pacific and St. IgnatiusUniversity of San Francisco, with Otto Rittler of St. Mary's College,as president, and Gerald P. Beaumont, Sporting Editor of the OaklandTrihune^ as secretary.The league was formed purely in the interests of collegiate basket

ball, with the object of promoting the sport along mutually beneficiallines, and the value of the organization as a means of stimulatinginterest in the game appears to have been demonstrated fully.The original schedule of games was carried out practically as first

agreed upon. Great enthusiasm and interest was displayed by thevarious teams ; thorough sportsmanship was the feature of the contests,and the sport itself received greater recognition among the collegesthan ever before. Although no detailed figures concerning the receiptsof each game are at hand, it is believed that every team made its

expenses, and in some cases concluded the season with financial profit.

It is undestood that the athletic committee of the Panama-PacificExposition is being approached, regarding the practicability of playingthe 1915 intercollegiate basket ball schedule under its auspices, withthe object of obtaining sufficient financial aid to permit of bringing toSan Francisco teams from Southern California, Oregon, Washingtonand Idaho.

One of the questions to come up for consideration prior to arrang-ing next year's schedule will be the enlargement of the league. TheUniversit.v of Southern California and Santa Clara University desireto be enrolled, and it would seem really necessary to include that terri-tory, if the name of the league is to be really representative.

St. Mary's College, playing brilliantly and consistently, won thefirst championship of the Intercollegiate League with an unbrokenstring of victories, and to that college goes the championship banneroffered by the Oakland Tritune.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GDIDE. 201

Basket Ball in Monterey and SantaCruz Counties, California

By J. P. CoLLEY, Watsonville, Cal.

The 1913-1914 basket ball season in Monterey and Santa CruzCounties was, in many respects, a very interesting and successful one.Though many of the teams did not get together and begin playing untilabout the middle of December, more teams were organized, "and moregames played than ever before.

Competition in the Pacific Athletic Association tournament arousedgreat interest among the players and the followers of the game in thissection. Many of the games were so well contested that there wasonly a difference of one and two points in the final scores.

One of the features of the past season was the number of recruitswho became interested in basket ball, some of whom did remarkablywell for their initial year, and gave promise of developing into firstclass players. Coincident with the number of new players was thenumber of "Has Beens," who made good by coming out and playingremarkably clean, fast basket ball, all of which goes to prove that it

Is one of the very best of indoor games, and can be played with benefitby beginners, or older and experienced players.

Fourteen teams entered the P. A. A. tournament, with Santa Cruz andWatsonville carrying off the honors in the various weight divisions,Santa Cruz Holy Cross teams winning in the 110-pound and 120-pound weight. Watsonville Y.M.C.A the 130-pound, Santa Cruz the145-pound, and Watsonville Y.M.C.A. the unlimited division. Becauseof the equality of the teams entered in the latter division these gamescreated an unusual amount of enthusiasm among the players and fol-

lowers, as during the game between Santa Cruz All-Stars and Watson-ville Y.M.C.A. and Watsonville Y.M.C.A. and Company B. San Jose,the score fiuctuated only one or two points, with all teams having theadvantage one minute only to lose it the next. These games, thoughvery keenly contested and hard fought, were void of any rough houseplay, and it was undoubtedly this feature that helped to make the pastseason a successful one^ both from the players' and spectators' view-point.

Knox Colleg-e, Galesburg-, 111.—^The team had no particular stars last season,

but was rather a machine, with several styles of play used as the occasion de-

manded. It was always able to score, no matter what kind of defense wasmet. Jones and Prince, forwards, and Harshbarger, were strong on offense,

while McWilliams and Robertson played a great defensive game and also

scored fifty-five field goals.

Eagles of Holy Cross School, Santa Cniz, Cal.—^The Eagles went throughthe season of 191o-14 undefeated. They scored twenty-three victories, andalso annexed the district 120-pound championship of the Tacific Athletic Asso-ciation. The success of the quintet was due to good team work and the ex-

cellent playing of Rennie and Grant, forwards. Another feature was the

manner in which Patterson, Costello and Hoffman attended to the guardpositions, it being Impossible in six games for the opponents to score a single

field goal. Furrer, by his aggressiveness, earned the name of the "FightingGerman." The Eagles were to have played the Lowell High School teamfor the championship, but through sickness and accidents were compelled tocancel the engagement.


Basket Ball in North DakotaBy B. Henderson^

Director of Physical Work Y. M. C. A., Fargo, N. D.

The season of 1013-14 was a most successful one for basket ball inNorth Dakota. In fact, taking everything into consideration, it is

believed by enthusiasts to have been one of the best seasons, if notthe best, since the introduction of the game in the State. More teamswere organized, more games were played, and more admissions paidto the games than in any other year.

Although there is still plenty of room for improvement, the notice-able advance that was made the past year was in the clean andsportsmanlike conduct of the players, both in and out of the games.This was due, in a great measure, to the eflSicient officials that handledthe contests. In years past North Dakota has had the reputation ofputtmg up rough exhibitions of basket ball, at times it being difficult todisjtinguish the game from foot ball. No doubt this extreme roughnesshas grown out of the fact that North Dakota has no contact with theEastern or Central teams, and that most teams in the State haveheretofore played under a semi-collegiate amateur code of rules. Butthe past year witnessed closer observance of the code, which resultedin a better exhibition of the same.An All-State five was selected after a special championship series of

games, participated in by every high school team in the State. TheY.M.C.A. representatives of Fargo and Grand Forks played undercollegiate rules because there were no teams to compete with exceptfrom colleges.

With the high schools the State was divided into four divisions. Aspecial series of games was conducted in each division to determinethe district champions. These champions. Grand Forks, Minot. Dickin-son, and Fargo, under the direction of the Department of Athletics ofthe North Dakota Agricultural College, met at Fargo to determine theState championship. After a series of splendid games, the Fargo HighSchool came out victorious, with the envious record of winning everygame played. Coach Wood and Professor Haskins of the AgriculturalCollege, did the officiating in an able manner.

As an award for the Fargo team's success, the business men of thecity subscribed the necessary funds to send the team to Chicago tocompete for the championship of the Central West. The five made acreditable showing, winning from Keokuk and losing to Deer Lak*,and Evanston, which won the championship.

ALL-STATE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM.Forwards, Hines (Fargo), Hayne (Minot) and Jackson (Grand

The Employed Boys of the Fargo Y.M.C.A. had a representative teamfor the first time and competed in match games with the high schoolsand smaller city teams of the State, playing Detroit, Tower City,Chaffee. Hope, Leonard, Agricultural College freshmen, and others,finishing the season with eight victories, five losses and one tie.

Looking forward to next season, basket ball should make evengreater strides in North Dakota than it has ever made before. Morecompetent officials are available, and plavers as well as spectatorsseem to realize the great opportunities that lie in this great indoorsport for competition, recreation, exercise, skill and entertainment.


Basket Ball in TexasBy R. Scott Israel.

Basket ball in Texas has really had less than eight years of realaction of universal nature. Before that time the game was, except inisolated instances, confined to Turner and Y.M.C.A. organizations.And there were few of them. Now it is one of the most popular ofthe year's club and school sports, and few towns of post office size buthave their team or teams of both sexes.

San Antonio, the cradle of the game in this State, still holds thecenter in number and average quality of its basket ball teams. FortWorth has its champion Y.M.C.A. five and some other good teams.Houston, Dallas and other cities are well supplied with their teams.But San Antonio has more teams than any three of them combined.In the height of the season in the Alamo City there are usually fortyor more teams playing, counting those of the girls' schools and of FortSam Houston, which latter post usually turns out two or three goodfives.

Championship races in San Antonio are usually divided into fourclasses. They are those of the clubs, academies, grammar schools andgirls' teams. State championship in the last named class for yearshas been held by the Thomas School for Girls Last season theY.M.C.A. was victor in the club division.

The game is further divided in San Antonio, some of the teamsplaying on indoor courts and some outdoors. The latter courts are themore generally used, although all of the strongest teams are experi-enced in both styles, the championships of the city always beingthreshed over indoors. There was a City League in operation lastseason, composed of club teams. San Antonio for years has furnishedthe majority of the players of the big college teams of the State, hav-ing from three to five of its lads on college championship teams foryears past.

The game is growing apace throughout Texas, and the other cities

now are threatening to deprive San Antonio of its long held laurels.

In fact, during the coming season the metropolis of Texas will haveits hands full with the opnosition that has developed in almost everyquarter. It is well that "in the 1913-14 race the Alamo City set arecord for clubs in the field.

BASKET BALL IN SAN ANTONIO.By a. F. Dugosh, San Antonio, Texas.

The City Basket Ball League, by its success in the initial season asan A.A.U. institution, has given a decided impetus to basket ball andwill result in an oven greater growth in the sport locally.

The Travis Club five, winner of the pennant by grace of a cleans\/eep of eight games in this series alone, stands forth as one of theclassiest teams Texas has ever seen. Its claim to the State cham-pionship is based on its unbroken record and the fact that all its

offers for games—very liberal offers with almost unprecedented con-

cession to outside adversaries—were rejected by the other State teamsof strength. To the guarding of Bee and Tames and the head work of

Captain Schramm are due. in a great measure, the Travis Club'ssuccess.


Second in line was the Y.M.C.A., whose line-up was changed in the-heat of the race. This is one of the best teams the Triangles have yetturned out, although it did not win the city title. It gave the TravisClub its hardest battle of the season.The Turners, who finished third, were crippled by the loss of Kings-

ley through his secession to St. Mary's College, or, rather, his return tothat team. Holding the lead in a tie with the Travis Club a longwhile, the Turners had a slump and then finished strongly, taking thirdplace from the St. Mark's team in the final game of the series, on thelatter's court.The St. Mark's team also had hard luck in the loss of a strong man

in Miller who also joined St. Mary's College. But the Episcopalians,after losing their first game to the Y.M.C.A. by one point and latergetting badly shaken up, finished a deal stronger than had been feared.The Swastikas, hopelessly tailenders from the start, set the pace for

sameness and played out their schedule in gritty style. With somefine material, this team was weak in goaling, while strong in defenseand tram work.

In points scored the Travis Club piled up 312, the Y.M.C.A. 250, St.Mark's 186, Turners 177, and Swastikas 138. The points made by theleading individual goalers of the respective clubs were as follows

:

Pahlmann of Travis, 175 ; Elmendorf of St. Mark's, 124 : Fuquay ofY.M.C.A., and Rische of Turners, 106 each, and Dumphv of the Swas-tikas, 68.

St. John Athletic Club Crescents, Cincinnati, Ohio.—The Crescents during^

the season of 1913-14 played fourteen games with teams of 115 and 125-poundclass, winning eleven and losing three. They also met seven teams outside

of their class, winning three and Icing four. The Crescents scored 327 points

to 253 for opponents. Captain Muenich was the individual star. He madethe most foul goals and with Manegold, at center, scored a majority of field

goals. Giesken played the best game of the guards. Bayer also acquittedhimself creditably.

Shehoygan (Wis.) Hii^h School.—This team had another successful season.It met five outside high school teams and easily proved itself superior to three,

Menasha. Two Rivers, and Manitowoc, the latter being one of the few teamsthat was able to defeat Appleton, winners of the State championship. Thefives that defeated Sheboygan were Oshkosh and Fond du Lac. winners of first

and second places in the district tournament. After these games the teameasilv won the Sheboygan City championship over such teams as the Art.

Imigs and the State Business College, the former a team in the class withCo. B of Fond du Lac. professional champions, and the latter, a team com-posed of old high school stars that defpated the Imigs. In eleven gamesplayed Sheboygan scored 195 points to 196 for opponents.


Basket Ball in MississippiBy H, B. Longest.

Captain and Manager Mississippi Normal College Team,Hattiesburg, Miss.

The past season basket ball took its place as the leading sport inMississippi. The evidence of good coaching was shown as never be-fore, in the scientific way the game was played. Individual work gaveway to team play, roughness of previous years was eliminated, tosome extent, under better officiating, and if the officials would call"held ball" immediately when they see two men on the ball it wouldput out more of the rough work. This was ruggested in the EditorialComment of Spalding's Official Guide last year. It is only whereefficient officials are used that basket ball brings out a goodly numberof spectators, for they appreciate clean sport. All over the State ahigh grade of sportsmanship was shown where good officiating was inevidence.

There are teams everywhere in Mississippi ; in other words, "thewoods are full of them." It is the only sport, of the big sports, whichmany of the boys of the rural districts can play because it comes atan off season, when they are not busy on the farm, and takes only halfas many players as the other big sports, and these can always begotten together. In Jones County and a number of counties they havea County Championship. They eliminate the high schools from this,

making it a rural affair, which meets a big need. In this county thefinal championships are pulled off on a big field day, and it alwaysbrings out a large number of these boys.There were not so many leagues in the State last year, but more

than in previous years. In the college league, Mississippi Agriculturaland Mechanical College won the flag, winning every game. The recordsfollow :

Univ. of Mississippi.. 3 3 .500 Millsaps 6 .000

Besides winning the State championship, A. and M. defeated TulanoUniversity twice easily. It was only defeated by the University of

Alabama, after it had finished a long trip and was in no condition to

play. Besides the 'varsity team, A. and M. had a class league, whichwas won by the Freshmen, a "Pee-Wee" team and a Y.M.C.A. team, all

of which had clean records. Thev played the high schools of thatsection. The latter turned out better teams in 1913-14 than ever before,

especially the agricultural high schools, and there is a strong demandfor college players as coaches among them. The Agricultural HighSchool at Ellisville deserves special mention, playing better ball thanmost of the college teams.

.

At the University of Mississippi the team was up to its usual highstandard, winning ieleven out of eighteen games and tieing for second

place in the State league. Besides the 'varsity team it had a class

league, in which six games were played. This was won by the .Juniors.

Mississippi College had one of the best teams in the history of the

institution, playing twenty-five games and winning the majority. It


defeated Tulane, University of Mississippi, Millsaps and a numberof other strong teams, and tied the University of Mississippi for secondplace in the State league. Besides the 'varsity it had a Y.M.C.A.team, which played over the State.

Other teams in the State were representatives of Millsaps College,Clarke College, Chamberlain Hunt Academy, Laurel Y.M.C.A., andMississippi Normal College at Hattiesburg, which, although only afairly new institution, turned out a good team, losing two gamesout of eight.

If an All-State College team was to be picked, the following menwould be the choice of all, I think : Kinney of Mississippi A. and M.,would receive the vote of all as captain and forward, being a greatleader as well as player. For the other forward there would be arace between Clark of A. and M., and Lipsey of Mississippi College.For the guard positions wc have Henson of Mississippi College, andGaddy of A. and M. In the center there are three good men, Pound ofthe University of Mississippi, McArthur of A. and M., and Laird ofMississippi College. All of these named are great players and it wouldmake a team hard to defeat. If an All-Southern team was to bepicked, Captain Kinney should receive a place on it.

Grand Junction Section of Colorado.—W. R. Pearson, of the Y.M.C.A., Den-ver, writes as follows: "We had quite a lot of basket ball In our section lastseason. In Grand Junction we had a City League, made up of two teams ofthe Y.M.C.A., and a team each from the high school and business college.The fives played a series of eighteen games, and at the finish the "Y" teamsgot first and second places. The leading team also played the State Univer-sity, the former losing, 64-18. Games were also played with the Mt. Lincolnand Palisade High Schools. A number of contests also took place betweenhigh schools of the Western slope. There was a vast difference in the styleof play, as regards roughness and as per rule book, which caused muchwrangling. Expenses of traveling long distances, and quite moderate interestin the games prevented free exchange of games. The outlook for next seasonis favorable for a successful campaign in Grand Junction and other towns ofthe Western Slope."

Government Hill Team, San Antonio, Tex.—This team made a brilliant show-ing in the Sunday School League of San Antonio, last season, by winning theNational League pennant and the world's series against West End Methodist,winners in the American league. The Government Hill team was noted for

its perseverance and sand, winning many a game on these alone. At theend of the National League schedule there were three teams tied for leadinghonors. In the play-off Government Hill easily won the pennant. In theAmerican League, West End had been an easy winner and it was doped outto win the series, which was to be the best three out of five games. In thefirst game Government Hill won on foul goals, only three field goals beingthrown in the whole game. Score, 22-14. In the second game West Endnosed out Government Hill by two points, winning by 21-19. West End also

took the next game, by the score of ^4-24. It was at this stage of the series

that Government Hill showed the stuff it was made of. By a whirlwindfinish, in which that five exhibited the fastest and headiest team work everseen on the Y.M.C.A. court. Government HMl took the next two games andwon the championship of the Sunday School Leagues of San Antonio, also

the silver loving cup donated by the San Antonio Light Publishing Company.Spalding's Official Basket Balls were used during the championships and theygave complete satisfaction. Warren, the speedy center, led the scoring for

the Hill clan and received much applause for his clever playing. Hopkinsand Carnth. forwards, were not far behind Warren on the scoring proposition,

and they were always up to thfir necks in every game. Barry and Davis wêre

a pair of guards hard to beat, being noted especially for the way they got

the ball started in some fast play that usually resulted in a goal. A great

season is looked forward to in 1914-15.


Basket Ball in ManitobaBy W. a, Smethurst^

Assistant Physical Director Vaughan Street Branch Y. M. C. A.,

Winnipeg, Can.

Basket ball in the Province of Manitoba is limited to two cities,Winnipeg and Brandon, and until quite recently the Y.M.C.A. in thesecities conducted all the basket ball played in the province. A few yearsago the Playground Association took up the game and played it onthe different playgrounds. Since then the Winnipeg Boys' Club, theSunday schools and some of the church clubs have taken to playingthe game.

Competition between cities is almost impossible, as the distancesare so great and the cities so few. The competition is very largelylimited to closed leagues conducted by the different organizations.Brandon Y.M.C.A. has its closed league of six or eight teams eachyear, and this is practically all the basket ball played in that city, ex-cept a game in the early spring, if the Dyson Cup games (champion-ship of Manitoba) are played there.

In Winnipeg the game is growing in leaps and bounds. VaughanStreet Branch Y.M.C.A. conducted a senior league of thirty-one teamsand had thirty teams in the Boys' Division, divided into three sections,last season. Selkirk Avenue Branch Y.M.C.A. had its senior league ofeight teams and its boys' league amounting to sixteen teams. Thesewere strictly closed leagues, each competing for a trophy emblematicof the branch championship.The Winnipeg Intercollegiate Athletic Association runs a short

league every spring. This league is closed to all teams except thecolleges. All the games are played on the Y.M.C.A. floor as the col-leges have no gymnasiums.' The church clubs are beginning to play the game now. St. Stephen'sChurch is probably the first in this respect, with its splendid new gym-nasium. The past season St. Stephen's ran two senior leagues of fourteams each and a boys' league of six teams. St. Stephen's church is

the only church having a regular gymnasium and the other churchesare limited to the extent of their equipment.

The Winnipeg Boys' Club has its leagues every season, and the Sun-(5ay School Athletic League runs a series every spring.

The Dyson Cup series, which is the provincial championship, is

played in the early spring after all the leagues are closed up. ,An_y

amateur team in the province is eligible, but the Y.M.C.A.'s of Winni-peg and Brandon are the only teams that have ever played. The cus-tom has been for the captains of the Winnipeg teams to draw fortheir opponents and to give Brandon the bye in the first rounds, thuseliminating traveling expenses to the final game. By a process of elim-inations the final game is reached, which is played on the home floor

of the team holding the cup. Winnipeg Vaughan Street Branch heldthe cup from the beginning of the series, seven years ago, until 1913,when the Brandon Association carried it West where it still is.

The game is growing in popularity and the interest of the spec-

tators is becoming greater each season, and it is only a matter of a fewyears when basket ball will take its place as second to none of thewinter sports of Manitoba.

Basket Ball in British ColumbiaBy G. S. Maxwell, Vancouver, B. C.

Basket ball was first played in British Columbia about 1899, lacrossehaving been the big game here before that time. As first played baslsetball resembled lacrosse closely. One rule of those days was unique,namely, "A man can pick up the ball, run for three seconds, and shoot."About this time G. E. Pierrot came to British Columbia from Seattleand introduced what was called the American game, playing five menon a side, with no running, etc.

Basket ball soon became popular, being taken up by the militaryauthorities, and the Y.M.C.A. In 1902 we had games played in thearmory against Seattle, Portland and Tacoma. These games sup-ported by a full military band became one of the big events in Van-couver sport. A large Y.M.C.A. gymnasium was built in 1904 in Van-couver, and was closely followed by the club house of the VancouverAthletic Club, which was built principally as a headquarters for basketball. These two institutions, together with churches, high schools,colleges, etc., have made basket ball the great winter game in the prin-

cipal city in British Columbia.The neighboring cities of Victoria and New Westminster have also

been active in basket ball and much Intercity competition has beenenjoyed.

.

The up-country towns all have some local competition, especially

those towns which have a Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. Revelstoke and Nel-

son. B. C, are both centers of keen local competition, but the longdistances between towns out here prevents much intercity competition.

Returning to the Vancouver district, we have leagues of all sorts,

namely, junior, intermediate and senior Sunday School leagues in thethree cities mentioned

;public school leagues, with games all played

out of doors ; intercitv high school leagues and city senior leagues, the

winners of which play off for the intermediate championship of British

Columbia.In New Westminster last season the city league championship was

won by the Sangster team, composed of five bi'others, ând no substitute

planned for. This is perhaps the most unique team playing winningbasket ball in America. The league consisted of two Y.M.C.A. teams,

one from Columbian College, one from the high school and one fromthe 104th Regiment, which was represented by the Sangster brothers.

In Victoria the Citv League was revived last season and created

much enthusiasm. Four teams played for the city championship, which-was won by James Bay Athletic Club.

The Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Sunday School annexed all the Sun-

dav School championships, after the keenest sort of competition. Thefinal game of the Senior Sunday School League was played on a neutral

floor and ended in a tie score, 27-27. Ten minutes over time resulted

in a 30-31 score. ^ , ^. , c- r. ^

In the Provincial High School League, the King Edward High School

of Vancouver had the other schools so hopelessly outclassed that it

forfeited the final games in the league. . . u^ ^The city Senior League in Vancouver consisted of eight teams, as

follows :

Vancouver Athletic Club. Rugby Foot Ball Club, Vancouver RowingClub, McGill College, Y.M.C.A. Intermediates, B. C. Telephone Co.,

Y.M.C.A. Tigers, and King Edward High School.


After playing through a schedule, lasting the entire winter, theY.M.C.A. intermediates finished at the top of the league. This team,after playing home and home games with the winners of the other cityleagues in British Columbia, were returned as the intermediate cham-pions of British Columbia. These boys have played together for fiveyears, and each year have been at the head of their class in theprovince.The junior championships of British Columbia in the 110, 125 and

13.^-pound classes were played in Victoria, April 13 and 14. The 110-pound shield went to the Vancouver Y.M.C.A.. the 12.5-pound shield tothe Vancouver High School, and the 135-pound championship to theVictoria Y.M.C.A. These provincial championships have run for thepast five years.The Vancouver Y.M.C.A. senior team has been the undisputed cham-

pions of the Pacific Northwest, which includes Oregon, Washington andBritish Columbia, for the past six years. Its only diflBculty is ingetting strong opponents.

During the season an international senior league was formed, withNew Westminster. Vancouver and A'ictoria in British Columbia, andBellingham and Seattle in Washington, all being Y.M.C.A. teams, asmembers. The Vancouver team won all its games by wide margins.This team, which has played together for the past seven years, owesmuch of its success to Capt. George Tuck, who has played with andcoached the team since its start. Years ago Captain Tuck playedagainst and helped to defeat the famous Buffalo Germans.

Basket ball has undoubtedly a great future in British Columbia, as,owing to the mild climate, the usual winter sports are absent here.This gives basket ball a clear field and its popularity is bound to in-crease by leaps and bounds.

BASKET BALL IN VANCOUVER ISLAND.

Victoria experienced a revival in interest in basket ball during theseason of 1913-14. For a number of years Victoria was "basket ballmad," the climax being reached when the Y.M.C.A. won the Northwestcoast championship. With the burning of the roller rink, and theopening of the ice hockey arena the interest waned, and only a fewof the old guard remained in the game. In 1911 the new Y.M.C.A.building, with its splendid gymnasium, began to get the younger ele-

ment started, and to attract again some of the "old boys." Houseleagues in 1911-12-13-14 and successful Sunday School leagues duringthe same years caused much enthusiasm in the Y.M.C.A. The VictoriaWest A. A. also ran a house league with varying success, as well asplaying a few games with up-Island teams. Then the James Bay A.A.took a brace and organized a house league last season.

With all this material being developed, it was natural that a city

league should be formed, and this was done in February, 1914. In theSenior section, Y.M.C.A. James Bays and Victoria Wests, and in theIntermediate, the same three, with the addition of the Sunday SchoolLeague and the Law Students, entered teams. After a close schedulethe'^Y.M.C.A. won the Senior section with the Wests second. The In-

termediate Section finished with the Bays and Wests tied for first

Îrf' addition to the city league the Y.M.C.A. entered the Coast

Y.M.C.A. League, with Vancouver, New Westminster, and Bellingham,Wâsh

Up-Island the following towns developed fair teams, Duncan, Che-

mainus and Alberni, and games were played with picked teams fromthe capital and with the Victoria Wests.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GUIDE. 2U

Among the boys the Y.M.C.A. showed the most activity, runningofif a house club league, and conducting the junior championships inApril. Victoria "Y" won the 135-pound class, Vancouver "Y" the110-pound class, and King Edward High School, Vancouver, the 125-pound class. The Victoria Wests also played some boys' games.

BASKET BALL IN VICTORIA SUNDAY SCHOOLS.To say that the Victoria Sunday School Athletic League basket ball

season was a successful one is putting it very mildly. Interest ran atfever heat from the first whistle to the last. Keen but good naturedrivalry was felt by all, not only in the teams, but more especially inthe schools which were represented in the league. No team got along discouraging lead, as in the season of 1912-1913, when the Con-gregational went away ahead, but instead it was anybody's game rightup to the finish.

After the schedule games were all played, of which there were forty,giving each team eight home games, there were three teams tied forfirst place. Metropolitan Methodist, Centenial Methodist and FirstBaptist. This tie was played off by a series of two games, the Baptistswinning the first from the Centenials and the Metropolitans defeatingthe Baptists in the final, thus giving them the H. J. Knott Trophy.In addition to this, each member of the winning team was presentedwith an appropriate medal. Both trophy and medals were presentedthe winners at a well attended banquet, at which good fellowship wasthe keynote.The Victoria champions were then challenged by the Vancouver

S.S.A.L. champions, to play home and home games for the B. C. cham-pionship.

Basket Ball in South AmericaBy Jess T. Hopkins^

Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Montevideo, Uruguay.

Basket ball went forward in Argentina and Truguay last season tosuch an extent that a series of international championship games wasthe natural result. These games were managed by the Young Men'sChristian Associations of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. Basket ball

was introduced into South America by the Y.M.C.A., therefore it is

not strange that the players in the first international games shouldbe entirely men from the association physical departments.The first games of the series were played in Montevideo. Physical

Director Phillips of the Buenos Ayres Y.M.C.A., brought with him twoteams, one made up of students from the University of Buenos Ayresand the other a representative association team.A thrill ran through the spectators when the referee blew his whistle

calling together the players of this first international basket ballchampionship in South America. As they took their positions a heartycheer of welcome and praise for the Argentines burst from the throat'sof the Uruguayans. It was a splendid beginning of athletic relation-ships and this spirit held throughout the series.


Good team work and passing with poor shooting characterized thework of the Montevideo team, while just the reverse was true of BuenosAyres. This first series split even, with the Buenos Ayres studentswinning their two games from the University of Montevideo and theMontevideo Association winning its two games from the representativeArgentine team. Scores were fairly close and small : Student games,22 to 13, 27 to 16 ; Association games, 18 to 13, 21 to 11. W. L.

Carson very ably officiated in these games. <

In November, 1913, Montevideo sent a team across the River Plate

—

a ferry journey over night of 120 miles—for the return games withBuenos Ayres. In this series but three games were played, two of

which Avere official and the third informal. The Montevideo Associa-

tion team won both of the official games, thus bringing to Uruguay thefirst international basket ball championship of the River Plate.

With other institutions besides the Young Men's Christian Associa-

tions in both cities taking up the game, an international series in 1914

should be of much wider interest. Enthusiasts have raised the ques-tion of bringing a team from Rio de Janeiro to take part in a three-

cornered international tournament, but the expense and time involved,

because of the great distance, is such that we can hardly hope for

such good fortune.Basket ball appeals to the Latin-American, and it is not out of place

to predict that a few years more will find it as firmly intrenched in

popular favor in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay as is Associationfoot ball to-day.

Is it too much to expect, therefore, that we may some day see in

Havana, Rio de Janeiro or some other central point national basket

ball teams from Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico and the majority of SouthAmerican Republics participating in friendly rivalry in a tournamentfor the Latin-American championship?

Basket Ball in the Philippine IslandsBy Elwood S. Brown,

Physical Director Y. M. C. A., Manila.

It has often been said that "base ball follows the flag." So far asthe Philippines is concerned this statement is equally true of basketball.

Basket ball is played by brown people and white people from one endof the archipelago to the other. The Igorottes of the North, classifiedunder "Wild Tribes," enjoy the game. It is played in every Christianprovince. It is being introduced among the followers of Mohammedin the South, the fierce and warlike Moros of Mindanao. The game is

also popular with the American residents, civilian, army and navy.Basket ball in this country presents a number of unique features.

The season, so far as the Filipino is concerned, is practically continu-ous, the only break occurring during the rainy season. It is playedalmost entirely outdoors, a fine tropical climate making this possible.The game was first introduced in the Philippines as a girls' game,

and not until American men and boys set the example did Filipinoyoung men take it up. The boys use the ofllcial A.A.U. rules, but forthe girls a slightly modified game has been worked out. Six playersare used ; the ball may not be seized with both hands while in thepossession of an opponent, and the play is divided into three periods.These changes have made the game safe and popular, and there areliterally hundreds of girls' teams in schools, public and private, andin various other organizations. In one of the public schools in a north-ern province there are twenty-six different uniformed girls' teams. Thegame is growing rapidly in favor with Filipino boys, and while a fewyears ago girls' teams outnumbered boys' teams ten to one, it is esti-

mated that now the number is nearly equal. Leagues for boys and girls

are constantly conducted in a great many centers. It is on record thatone enterprising instructor organized a mixed league, but the first

contest demonstrated the foolishness of this plan.

For a number of years there have been strong American teams

—

army, navy and civilian—in and around Manila, and for the past fourseasons the Philippine Amateur Basket Ball League has given these

teams a chance to meet and decide the supremacy.The keenest rivalry has existed between the Manila Y.M.C.A. and

the Columbia Club, an American social club for young men. Soldier

and sailor teams have occasionally made a bid for first honors, but the

real contest has usually been between these two organizations. In the

seasons of 1910-11-12 the Y.M.C.A. had the stronger team, and in 1912won every game. The association had the advantage of greater num-bers and better men from which to select a representative team, andit also had a coach. The last season, however, conditions were some-what reversed. A coach was secured for the Columbia players and the

team was strengthened by the acquisition of Shradieck, a former Col-

. gate University star and one of the greatest players ever seen in the

East. Around him was built a team that included several players whohad been with the club for a number of years and had developed into

experts. The club team was further strengthened by one or two ex-

perienced players from other teams. This combination was hard to

beat when pla.ving at top speed., , „

The "Y" team, undisputed leaders for three seasons past, lost all

216 SPALDING'S OFFICIAl, BASKET BALL GUIDE.

but one of its championship aggregation, and had to change its style ofplay completely in order to keep on anything like even terms. It man-aged to win the first league game by a single goal from the ColumbiaClub by using fresh men frequently, but as the season progressed thesuperioVity of the club men became evident. The "Y" kept even bydefeating the other league teams, as Columbia did, but in each caseby smaller scores. When the final game occurred the outcome wasnever in doubt, although the "Y" was hardly prepared for the 32 to6 defeat that was administered. This gave the Columbia Club teamthe championship of the Philippine Amateur Basket Ball League.The annual national championships, played outdoors and held in

connection with the Philippine Carnival, occurred about six weeks afterthe close of the regular league season. The entry list was open toany amateur team, and here both American and Filipino teams entered.The "1"" team had on it some youngsters of great promise, particularlyDepuy and Martin, and these men. with Clark and Schweiker, of lastyear's squad, and some new players were put through most strenuousoutdoor practice for six weeks. The club team, in a measure, restedon its laurels and did not practice as faithfully as the situation de-manded. The "Y'" team, under the coaching of Physical Director Goss,improved steadily, and by the time the games occurred was playingchampionship ball. The club team went into the tournament still in-dividually superior, but somewhat out of condition and with retardedteam work. Each team managed to dispose of all the other entrantsand the final match between them was one of the greatest games everplayed in Manila. One or two of the club players arrived after thegame had started and after the ''Y^" had secured a small lead. Fromwhistle to whistle the game was fought out on almost even terms, the"Y" aggregation, through team work and short basket throwing, scor-ing regularly, while the terrific playing of Teaze, captain of the Colum-bia Club team, the Avork of Sindlinger and Walsh, and th(> uncannydistance basket shooting of Shradieck, made the game an intensely in-teresting one for the spectators. Condition, accurate passing, and thefree goal throwing of Martin of the "Y"' won the game for his teamby a score of 37 to 32, and brought with it the title of national cham-pions.

Although basket ball is purely a foreign game, the time is fast ap-proaching when, as in base ball and many other sports, the nativepeople will be able to play on even terms with those who taught themthe game.

Basket ball is one of the official events on the list of the Far East-ern Athletic Association activities and takes equal rank w'ith othersport. At Shanghai, China, where the next Far Eastern Champion-ship games are to be held, will be seen the Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese,and, possibly, Siamese, playing basket ball with as much interest andenthusiasm as is shown anywhere in the United States.

In the series of games played in the Manila Interscholastic League,in February and March, 1914, the Sampaloc Intermediate School madea perfect record, having defeated each of the other school teams twiceby decisive scores.The following is the standing of the clubs at the close of the season :


Sampaloc Int 8 1.000 Manila H.S 2 6 .2.50

Tondo Int .5 .S .62.5 Philippine Nor 8 .<X)0

Paco Int 5 S .625

The Normal School did not play its second game with Sampaloc In-

termediate, but defaulted.


The Sampaloc team showed marked skill in passing, and great ac-curacy in shooting the baskets. Great credit must be given to Eus-taquio, the tall center ; to Tuliao, the stocky little guard who playeda splendid defensive game, and to the brothers, Emilio and FelixbertoBuenaventura, a pair of excellent forwards. Emilio Buenaventura hada marvelous knack of shooting the ball through the basket at timeswhen it seemed almost impossible. He made more than half the scoresthrough the season.

At no time did Sampaloc score less than 26 points, and In manycases the opponents' scores were nearly doubled. Its winning of thechampionship of Manila was clearly established, and it would not bean exaggeration to state that it is probably the best Filipino team In

the Islands. It made the best showing of any of the native teams atthe open carnival (annual) championships last season and the pre-vious season. Eustaquio and Tullao wore members of the All-Filipinoteam that won the Far Eastern Olympiad championship in basket ball.

American athletic teams are decreasing in number because of therapid exodus of the Americans from the Islands since the advent ofthe new administration, but the influence of American schooling is

visible in the widespread interest in athletics displayed by the natives.At present the school teams furnish the best native athletes, althoughthere are also one or two Filipino sporting clubs in Manila.

As to their taste in sports, the Filipinos like to watch regular basehall and many of them become excellent players, but they display moreactive individual interest in basket ball, indoor base ball and volleyball. The younger girls like to play indoor base ball, while their oldersisters prefer basket ball (men's rules) or tennis.

Basket Ball in South China.—Francis E. Wilber. Secretary of the CantonY.M.C.A., in writing of the game in South China, says: "Basket Ball has not

yet secured a real foothold In this section of China. Last season there wasonly one team in all South China, that of the Canton Christian College, andthese boys played a very crude game, due to lack of coaching and ojtportunity

to meet other teams, rather than to the lack of ability. The boys are ag-gressive and guard well, but their throwing is poor and they do not under-stand the passing game. In 1913 the Canton Y.M.C.A. had a team composedmostly of Chinese graduates of American colleges, which defeated a regularcollege team two games, 27-5 and 14-6."

Industrial Y.M.C.A.'s of the Carolinas.—J. L. Gourley of Greenville, S. C.writes as follows: "It is a mistake to think that the mill man cannot play

basket ball and play it well. The past season in the cotton mills of Northand South Carolina was a very successful one, and the record was such that

any Y.M.C.A. might envy. At Spray, N. C, the teams were made up fromthe bible classes and all these teams played well. At Greenville. S. C, there

was a nest of teams that played fine basket ball. Mills Y.M.C.A. had twoor three teams; Woodside also took a great part in It. and the MonaghanY.M.C.A. was the best of them all.

Team WorkBy a. S. Keim, M.D..

Director Physical Education Y. M. C. A., Nashville, Tenn.

Team work is defined as work done by a number of persons asso-Ciated, usually each doing a definite portion, but all subordinatingpersonal prominence to the efficiency of the whole.Team work is as essential for basket ball as it is for any other team

games. And while it is easy to get up a team, it is another thing al-together to get up team work. One or two star players and the restof rather limited ability, will make a team that looks good on paper,but in actual play will go down in defeat before a team whose line-upis not quite so spectacular, but whose team work is better developed.Team work is one of the greatest means of learning discipline and self-control. When men learn to subordinate their own ambitions and de-sires in order that team work may be carried out, they are gainingsomething that is worth much more than a little local fame.We have seen teams made up of star individual players go all to

pieces on the floor because one man, in the effort to bring up his ownrecord, fails to play the game the way the signal was called. We haveall seen the men of a team begin to quarrel among themselves becauseof the failure of the play to work out properly, each one blaming theother and ruining what chances they may have had at the beginningfor winning the .game. This spirit will kill all chances for team workin the best of players.We must have confidence in each other in order to make possible

any degree of team work. In fact, some one has said that men mustlove each other in order to make good teammates ; so that even whenthe play is carried out and the one upon whom hope was placed forfinal effort fails in this effort, we still believe and still have confidenceenough to go through that same play at the sacrifice of our own am-bition and give this same teammate another chance in order that themachinery may run smoothly. Where there is a feeling of jealousy, orwhere there is a feeling of dissatisfaction, even be it ever so faint, in

the heart of one man, and he allows this to become evident in practice,

or in the game, the machinery for that team is blocked. Unless mencan rise above those feelings they have no place or no business onteams. Men ofttimes have to learn by bitter experience, and a hardstruggle with self, how to plav the game against odds, opposition, andunfairness, and still keep their heads all the time. They have to

learn what team work means, that every man must fit into his place

like a well oiled niece of machinery, and when the machinery begins

to operate it turns out goals with a certainty that is demoralizing to

the other side. ,, î.This experience is worth the price you pay. For, after all, these

qualities that are developed in the discipline of team work are the

same, identically, that we need in business or in professional life as wego out into the world. A man who has made a good teammate, per-

haps to some extent unnoticed by the press and by the public, because

it has been his business to get the ball to the forward who is to makethe goals, is the man who is going to succeed in his community in

whatever line of life he undertakes. He has all the while been de-

veloping the qualities of character that are recognized by all men,

and their value is not to be measured by dollars and cents, but bythe wide range of influence that he may exert and by the confidence

and faith that people may put in him.

SPECIAL NOTICE— In a game like basket ball, which is playedgenerally on board floors, there is a strain on the feet altogether different

from that in almost any other athletic gam'e, and to support this strain,

properly made shoes with leather uppers and correctly shaped soles

are absolutely necessary It is a fact that players on many teams wearcanvas top shoes and we supply in our No. P shoes, listed below,

absolutely the best canvas top basket ball shoes ever made, and the

same style as worn by some very successful teams, but from ourlong experience in catering to athletes and watching closely, as wehave done, the development of basket ball and its effects on the

physical condition of players, we cannot consistently recommend can-

vas top shoes for any athletic use and especially not for basket balL

standard PolicyA Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy,Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a

Mamufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality.To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a

profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditionsof Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high listpnce on his goods to the consumer.

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure outattractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices areabsolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been served when themanufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has securedhis order from the retailer.

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, whodoes not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices.

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleadingbut alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, andgrapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts,"which vary with local trade conditions.

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturerand the jobber are assured ; but as there is no stability maintained in the pricesto the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariablyleads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer arepractically eliminated.

This demoralization cJways reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insistson lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets thisdemand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheap-ening and degrading of the quality of his product.

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 15 years ago, in 1899,A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the AthleticGoods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as " The SpaldingPolicy.

The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as SpaldingGoods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of SpaldingAthletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer isassured a fair, legitimate and certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, andthe ^nsurner is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition.

£ A i'? • ^ ^'^'"'^^ ",'^ *^^'^'"^^'^*y ^°^ '^^ interest and protection of the

users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways :

Firsi.—The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods.Second.—As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in

purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials requiredin the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of theirrespective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessaryquantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality.

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supplyconsuniers at our regular printed catalogue prices-neither more nor less-the samePnces that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores.

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treatedexactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.

This briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successfuloperatiori for the past I 5 years, and will be indefinitely continued.

In other words, ' The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal" for everybody.

A. G. SPALDING & BROS.

By ^Z^k:i/i^^^^C^^^^.PRESIDEMT, ^^

standard QualityAn article that is universally given the appellation "Standard" is thereby

conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar

nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit

of currency, because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold,

and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stampthereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting andother tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service

Bureau of Experts. Under the lav^r, citizen manufacturers must depend to a

great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against

counterfeit products— wîthout the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public

Opinion* to assist them.

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection" against misrepresentation and

"inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the" Manufacturer."

A. G. Spaldmg & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality," for

thirty-eight years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout

the world as a Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the

U. S. Currency is in its field.

The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and

maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi-

ous as is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency.

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other

consumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-

Mark and all that it stcinds for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic

Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, byinsisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which

they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining

Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual.

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being

high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of

"inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration.

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphola

and a guarantee to protect must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac-

turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Quality

depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman.

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than

poverty in quality—and we avoid this quickseoid by Standard Quality.
