toward ahealthfulmethod of livingand enjoyment, Spalding
’
sA thlet icL ibrarywasestablished in 1892 forthe purpose of encourag ing athlet ics in every form, not only by
'
publishing the official rules and:records pertaining to the variouspast imes, but also by instructing ,
unt il to-day Spalding’
s A thlet icL ibrary is unique in its own part icular field and hasbeen concededthe g reatest educat ional seriesonathletic and physical training sub
jects that has ever been comp iled .
The publication of a dist inctseriesof books devoted to athleticSports and pastimes and designed .
to occupy the premier place inAmerica in its classwas an earlyidea of Mr. A. G. Spalding , who;was one of the first in America

sAthlet icLibrary hashad the advice and counselof Mr. A. GSpalding in allof its undertaking s, and particularly in all booksdevoted .
to the nat ional game. This applies especially to S palding’

’s Official Base Ball Record
,both of
.
whichreceive the personal at tent ion of Mr. A. G. Spalding , owmg tohis earlyconnectionwith the game as the leading p itcher of the champ ion Bostonand Chicagoteamsof 1872-76. His interest does not stop, however, withmatterspertaining to base ball; there is not asport that Mr. S paldingdoes not make it his business to become familiar Wi th, and that theL ibrarywillalwaysmaintain its premier place, Wi thMr. Spalding
’sable
counselat hand, goeswithout saying .
The.entire series since the issue of the first number has been under
the d irect personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, Presidentof the American S ports Publishing Company, and
.
the total series ofconsecut ive numbers reach an ag g regate of considerably over threehundred, included in which are many
“
annuals,”that really const itute
the history of their part icular sport in America year by year, back copi es
of which are even now eag erly sought for, const itut ing as they do thereally first authentic records of events and official rules that have everbeen consecut ively comp iled.
When Spalding ’s Athlet ic Library was founded, seventeen years ago,
track and field athlet ics were pract ically unknown outside the larg ercolleg esand a few athletic clubs in the leading cit ies, which gave occaaionalmeets, when an entry list of 250 competitorswasa subject of comment ; golf was knownonly by a comparat ively few persons; lawn tennis
had some vogue and base ball was pract ically the only established field

sport , and that in a professionalway; basket ballhad just been inventedathletics for the schoolboy
— and schoolg irl—were almost unknown, and
an advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools could not get a
hearing . To-day we find the g reatest body of athletes in the world is
the Public S choolsAthlet icLeague of Greater New York , which hashadan entry list at its annual g ames of over two thousand, and in whose“
elementary series”in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the
trophy emblematic of the champ ionship .
While Spalding ’
s Athlet ic Library cannot claim that the rap id g rowth
of athlet ics in this country is due to it solely, the fact cannot be denied
that the bookshave had a great deal to do with its encourag ement , by
print ing the official rules and instructions for playing the variousgames
at a nominal price,within the reach of everyone, Wi th the sole object
that its series might be complete and the one place where a person
could look with absolute certainty for the particular book in which hemight be interested.
In select ing the editors and writers for the various books, the lead
ing authority in his part icular line has been ob tained, Wi th the result
that no collect ion of books on athlet ic subjects can compare Wi th
S palding’
s Athletic L ibrary for the prominence of the various authors
and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical
manner.
A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead
ing numbers of Spalding’
s Athlet ic Library is g iven hereWi th :

Reported to be the best in the history of this locality. S pectatorswere numerous at some games, tax ing the seat ing capaci ty to theutmost . The officiating was decidedly bet ter than any prev ious season.
MIDDLE STATES COLLEGE REVIEW.
The game is the most popular of all the winter sports and is playedby both large and small colleges. The West Point and Annapolisteams held their own t hroughout t he season.
MIDDLE STATES SCHOLASTIC,REVIEW.
Reports seem to indicate that this sect ion of the country, withi ts almost innumerable numlber of schools all playing the game, sur
passes any other sect ion ih the number of teams. A few years ago
the larger towns and ci t ies had a monopoly on the high class teams,from a playing standpoint . Now the smaller towns seem to haveoutstripped their larger neighbors, and often t he team from the
smaller town wallo s the li fe out of t hem and thereby inst ills a
wholesome respect or them forever afterward .
THE GAME IN THE PHILIPPINES .
The above t itle of itself arouses one’s interest , but the art icle is so
written that I am sure every one will wish to read it . The game has
appealed to the natives in many ways, boys and girls both supporting creditable championships. The effect on the g irls is especially inter
est ing. They play outdoors, and as the weather is favorable, theyhave a long schedule. The American teams’ championship was wonby the Manila Y. M . C. A . This league Wi ll probably increase four

Review of the Western Conference
Basket Ball‘
S eason of 19 1 1
BY CHARLES P . HUTCH INS , INDIANA UN IVERS ITY.
The Western Conference had one of the best years in i ts h istorya history that has been notable of late years for st irring contests andclose finishes. Four years ago basket ball was fighting for recognit ion
as a major sport in the Western colleges : to- day the games are gen
erally tax ing the seat ing capacity of t he gymnasiums.
The modificat ions of the rules were in furtherance of the clear
intent ion of t he commit tee to limit roughness by removing the cause
of roughness rather than by prohi bit ion . The clear defini t ion of the
cont inuous dribble was readily g rasped by players generally, for the
number of technical fouls per game was reduced almost half, While
the personal fouls were not materially decreased from 19 10 , a large
proport ion of penalt ies were inflicted because of the intense andrapid play.
Some improvement was mani fest in the general quality of the
officiat ing . This is probably due to the more general use of the
colleg iate rules, and to the fact that the colleg iate game is now old
enough in the M iddle West to have added to the directory of officials
graduates of the colleg iate game.
Owing to the prox imi ty of the spectators to several of the playingfloors
,there is some sent iment in the M iddle West favorable to a.
ball, passed out of bounds-
untouched , going to opponents.
When the curtain lifted on the 19 1 1 basket ball season, t he eight
teams appeared to be in two divisions in playing streng t h— Purdue,M innesota, Chicago and Wisconsin seemed strong contenders for the
t it le, wi th I llinois, Indiana, Iowa and Northwestern as second diviS
ion teams. The outcome of the schedule proved the forecast to be:
nearly correct , though the usual amount of unsteadiness for a t imekept calculat ions rocking in the undercurrent . The teams were of
more nearly equal st rength than ever before, but 1 67 points, or twofull games, separat ing the first and seventh teams. For the secondu
t ime there was a t ie for the t it le. It was impossible to play off the
t ie between M innesota and Purdue,as t he lat ter team had finished;
i ts schedule and broken training a week before the final games.
Every indicat ion seemed to just ify the belief at Purdue that the;
championship would be brought to Lafayet te. That sterling quartet,Charters, McVaugh , S tockton and M iller, were reinforced by Barr, who
proved to be one of the finds of the season. S tart ing with three vic
tories at home, two of them over such strong fives as Wisconsin and
Chicago, Purdue loomed above all other teams. The conquest wascarried abroad by close victories over Illinois, Indiana and Chicago
and a decisive defeat of Northwestern — seven victories and no defeats.
With t he coming of M innesota the middle of February, d isaster cadrein a 1 9 - 1 5 defeat . This was the more
_unex pected , for Northwestern
won its only game of the year from M innesota the nigh t before. TWO

d ays later Purdue fell before Illinois,which was fresh from defeat
at the hands of Indiana. A week later Wisconsin overwhelmed Purdue
,4 5 - 1 7 , at Madison,
and M innesota repeated her previous victorythe following night . Purdue
,however
,regained her form
,and in
t he final game won from Indiana in a well-played match that did notturn in the black and gold
’
s favor unt il the second half. This finalvictory meant at least a t ie for first place.
Prospects at M innesota at the beginning were bright . The loss ofHanson and Anderson meant that a running mate for Lawler wouldhave to be developed . But Lawler filled the breach himself wi thsome of t he most brilliant basket shoot ing seen in the West . In
twelve games he amassed a total of 1 4 3 points, running far ahead of
Charters’ 1 02 in 1 9 10 and Schommer’s 1 12 in 1909 . His 5 2 field goals
is almost double t he number Charters record in 19 10 , and Lawler’
s
opponents made but 8 goals during the season, against 1 2 madeagainst Charters the prev ious year. This record stamps Lawler as
one of t he g reatest players the game has known. M innesota startedlate. She played but one game in January and lost that to I llinoisby the close score of 1 7 - 18 , in which each team made 6 field goals ;I llinois threw 6 out of 1 0 f ree throws and M innesota 5 out of 1 1 .
Wisconsin, fresh from an overwhelming v ictory over Indiana,met
the Gophers on February 4 at M inneapolis at t he height of t heir game.
The first half was all Winconsin, but M innesota came wi th a rush
toward the end of the second half and carried the Badgers off thei r
feet to a score of 1 7 - 16 . 10wa fell an easy v ict im the following week,
and then the unex pected happened— Nort hwestern caught M innesota
off her guard and defeated her 2 1 18 . The nex t night M innesotatook revenge on Pur ,due g iving them their first defeat in a brilliant
game, in which the balance hung in the free throws, Lawler t I iumphing over Charters. The third defeat came at t he hands of Chicago
two days later on the same t rip,the maroon five winning by superior
shooting and fast floor work,22 - 1 3 . The following week M innesota
administered the second defeat to Purdue at M inneapolis, and M in
nesota was the only team to have a clear score against Purdue. The
last trip on March 1 was product ive of v ictories over Wisconsin and
Iowa and a defeat by I llinois. This was followed by a sweeping defeatof Northwestern, in which the purple was held to a count of 3 free
throws. The final game was played wi th Chicago at M inneapolis on
Mai ch 1 1 . The winner would t ie Purdue for premier honors. I t wasa fit t ing climax of the season. Chicago had been making giant strides
in team work and consistency, and in this game reached her highest
efficiency. But M innesota played her best all-around game of the
yeai and won the decision, 23 -16 . The record shows M innesota to
have been the st i ongest defensive team in the Conference, their oppo
nents averaging less than 6 field goals per game.
Chicago was conf i onted by a d i fficult task to adequately fill the
places of three of ‘the 19 10 champions. The absence of Page, Hoffman and Clark was a serious handicap early in the season. Chicagod id t he obvious thing—fi built her team around Sauer, who had in
19 10 proven himself a star of,the first magnitude. The season
amply just ified the wisdom of this course. Equipped by physique,
by ex peri ence and by abili ty foi this responsibility, Sauer just ly earnedOne of the AllWestern forward posit ions, eclipsing his work of the
year before. Ch icago developed one of the best new men of t heseason in Goet tler. Aside from the v ictory over Illinois at U rbana

R eview of the «Eastern CollegiateBasket Ball S easonBY NAT FLE I S CHER, NEW YORK .
With the reorganization of the Intercolleg iate Basket Ball Leaguet his year the big university quintets again came into their own andheld the center of the stage in the East . When the old league wasin the field , prior to i ts disrupt ion in 190 8 , the smaller colleges in theEast received scanty recogni t ion. During t he period of d isorganizat ion, however, the smaller college teams g rew in streng th and prest ige.
Last year, in part icular, they proved their supremacy over most or
the Big Five quintets. Columb ia, alone, was able to cope wi th thesmaller colleges.
The season of 19 10 -1 1,however, saw basket ball take root more
firmly than ever i n the universi t ies, while . in the same period the
progress of t he smaller college teams steadily increased because oflast year
’
s boom. Th is further progress of the game this season wasdue in a large measure to the added interest caused by the reorganizat ion of the B ig Five league.
The reorganizat ion of t he old league called for added strength amongt he league teams in order to sustain the interest of a championshiprace.
This new impetus boomed the sport among the minor combinat ions.
T he adherents of teams in t he big league were naturally desirousof comparing their combinat ions wi th those of the smaller colleges
As a result . visit ing teams from t he Intercolleg iate League drew largecrowds wherever t hey played . This necessi tated the placing of strongt eams in the field by- the small colleges, whose sole ambit ion is to
take. the measure of representat ives of their bigger brothers.
The minor combinat ions, t herefore, added strength to their teams
from among prep”and private school graduates, making the season
what may be termed in the vernacular “
a bowling success. Themajority of the minor college fives had added, streng th and their full
quota of stars, making the season of 1 9 10 - 1 1 in the East t he mostinterest ing and successful in many years from every point of view.
Unlike last year, when Columbia’
s claim to the Eastern championship was disputed by Williams
, Swarthmore, Rochester andWest Point , t his season Columbia took the Intercolleg iate championsh ip and likewise stands forth as the undisputed leader among all
Eastern colleges. No small college has challenged the Blue andrigh t to the honor.
"
. The Morningside colleg ians went through a big schedule Wi thonly one defeat . Unt il the last game of the season i t seemed as
i f Columbia would equal Pennsylvania's perfect record of victories
in the 1 908 int ercolleg iate tussle In the last game ,however,
Pennsylvania and Columb ia met at ~ Philadelphia, where Pennsylvaniathrew the harpoon into the New Yorkers, shat tering Columbia’
s hOpes
for a clean record by defeat ing the wearers of the Blue and Wh ite,20 to 1 8 . Thus Columbia’
s record for this season equals that of
Pennsylvania for 1 906 , when Pennsylvania suffered i ts only defeatat the hands of Columbia. The v ictory of Pennsylvania did not alter
Columbia’
s standing in the race. I t merely spoiled Columbia'
s longstring of v ictories.
The real race in t he league after Columbia won six consecut ive“games, making i t impossible for any other team in the league to

dislodge the Blue and White from first place, was between Pennsylvania and Yale. These teams were evenly matched . Many ex pertsfigure that the Yalensians would have come within striking distanceof Columbia in the race for the premier laurels if the team hadnot been penalized so often for violat ions of the rules. Yale waspenalized more of ten than any other team in the league, hence marring ,
its chances of winning several games.
Cornell had several good players, but failed to get the combinat ionworking properly. Heath and Blumenauer d id ex cellent work forthe t eam hai ling from the shores of Lake Cayuga. IIeath , on a fastteam. such as that of Columbia, would be wi thout an equal as a
guard . Princeton had a fairly good five in the field. Carter beingthe most consistent player on the Orange and Black squad.
New York Universi ty and Williams, Columbia’
s challengers for t heEastern colleg iate ti tle last year, can make no claim for the t itlethis year. N .Y.U . was badly worsted by Columb ia on the Morningsidecourt to the tune of 28 to 1 2. being beaten to a standst ill in alldepartments of the game. Wesleyan was outclassed by Columb ia, andin turn whipped Williams for the Triangular College Championshipof New England .
Adverse cri t icism, which marked the game hi therto, was not inevidence to t he same deg ree this year. The game was played roughlyat t imes, but from a general v iewpoint t he play was cleaner than in
prev ious seasons. The reorganizat ion of the old league naturallymade rivalry keener, and hence was responsible for t he rough tact ics
in some games. To characterize t he season as one in which theuse of object ionable tactics prevai led would be far f rom just to
the players involved . It is t rue that many fouls were called. butthe rule providing for d isqualificat ion of a player af ter four personalfouls are commi tted . curbed much roughness. Most fouls were of
atechnical nature, and on both sides f ree from the censure of the
ayman.
It must be remembered that basket ball is a strenuous game and
although roughness may be eliminated to a large degree, i t is almostimpossible to make i t gentle. Goodwin, Yale
’
s lef t forward , was one
of the chief off enders. I f he had curbed h is aggressiveness, Yalewould have had
,
a bet ter chance to keep in front in the league race,
and Goodwin’
s general abili ty would have ent it led him to considera
t ion for a posit ion on t he all-star team. Goodwin spoiled Yale’schances of at least t ieing Pennsylvania for second place.
Goodwin played an unusually aggressive game against Columb iaand Princeton . In the Columbia game his vigorousness caused
Columb ia the loss of Lee for t he Pennsylvania contest . For this he
was censured by the public and the Yale Alumni Weekly, and wassuspended from further part icipat ion in the season
’
s games by theYale Faculty. Tuf ts College abolished the game f rom its list of
Sports on account of roughness, whi le the Colgate team voted to
discont inue basket ball relat ions with Syracuse for similar reasons.
The Cadets played well all season. Their play was consistent .
Arnold , Conard and Pierce did ex cellent work for the Army. Arnold
classes among the fastest players in the count ry. The West Pointers
were among the best players in the East , t heir performance at all
times being superb .
This season’s Navy five was one of the best that ever represented
Annapolis. The M iddies showed a knowledge of the game such as was
possessed by only a few teams in the East . They had a well-balanced
quintet , each player knowing how to cover his posit ion to the best
interests of the team as a whole. As a result , Annapolis was able to
qualify for high honors in the Southern sect ion of the count ry. If
an All-South quintet were to be selected , the Navy would have three
of i ts players on the team. Wenzell would be the best choice for lef t

Princeton, although possessed of probably the best material theOrange and Black ever had, failed to do as well as was ex pected . TheTigers were handicapped by lack of coaching , the general playing ofthe team indicat ing poor handling . In the game wi th Columbia, Princeton showed the cali ber of i ts players by g iving the B lue and White oneof the hardest tussels the Columb ia five had during t he season. Withgood coaching , Princeton would have finished close to the top in theIntercollegiate League race.
An interest ing - table showing the number of points scored by eacht eam in the intercolleg iate league and the total number of points scoredagainst each team .makes good read ing for cri tical basket ball followers. The table shows that Columbia

Choice of an A ll-Colleg iate basket ball team is at i ts best a difficultand of t t imes a thankless proposi t ion,
and developments of the last
season have made th is year s task even a hardei one than i t has ord i
nai lly been. The judge of the quali t ies of the various players whomay be eligible for all-stai hon0 1s is always handicapped in t hat he
cannot see t he men in act ion in most of their games. He may hap
pen to witness a contest in wh ich a usually mediocre pei fOImer mayput up the
‘
game of his li fe and go away with the idea firmly fi x ed
i n his mind t hat the player In quest ion i s a“star
”of the fi i st magni
tude.
The result has been a g rowing tendency to awai d places on AllColleg iate teams because of brilliant work in a part icular contest .
M en who have played a consistent game throughout the season, and
have sacrificed their individuali ty for the sake of t he most essent ial
factor in a five’
s success— team work— are of ten lost sight of in the
choice. The man who takes the b runt of the floor work , who is a
born basket ball ex pert , is often forced to g ive way to a t eam-mate
twhom he has“
fed,
”and whose record in points scored is much t he
etter.
When choice of an All-Colleg iate Five is being made,
‘
the individualstar should receive minor considerat ion. The heady player. apparent lyonly a cog in the machine,
is the one whose merits should be closelyscrut inized. Brilliancy in one part icular game may aid a player
’
s
chance of being considered for the much-coveted posit ion on the. All
Clpll
eigv
iate team, yet i t is far f rom sufficient reason to place him on
t e
Ag ility, skill in handling a thrown ball, abili ty to cover up an oppos
ing player and to back up a team mate, skill i n dribbling ,and
dodg ing ,acc1.1. acy in Shoot ing . and last , but not least , abili ty to think
quickly and act spontaneously. are the important quali t ies whichhave, been considei ed by the writer for giving players a niche in the
Colleg iate Hall of Fame.
The 1 eorganizat ion of the Eastern Collegiate Associat ion served as
a b ig impetus toward amusing interest to the popular winter sport
To choose a I epresentat ive five from t he ranks of t he Eastern Col
leg iate Associat ion alone would be an injust ice to scores of ex cellent
players who showed their met tle in the smaller colleges. To do awaywith this ob ject ion the writei has selected a team composed of players
in the Intercolleg i ate League, and supplement ed this choice witha team, which. from all points of v iew. would stand the test of beingt he stfongest representat ive All Eastern Colleg iate Five that can
possibly be selected from the season’

t ion i s g iven to the New England group including Colgate and Syra

S treusand can come up to Hiendl or Turner, but both outclass Carterand the Cornellian.
S treusand , who was captain of the C. C. N. Y. quintet in 1908 , isone of the fastest players in the country. Although small, he is proficxent in every department of the game. He is speedy,
an ex cellentshot , and his at tack is of the most dashing type. Conard is almost asfast and as certain. Other good forwards are Goodwin of Yale,Gorschen of C. C. N. Y.
, Mei kle of Lehigh , Shaw of Penn S tate andKeenan of S t . John

CENTERS .
Several centers classed above the par of previous years. Amongthose worthy of being selected for the representat ive Eastern Five,three stand out prominently. The best centers in the East are Ruckertof S t . John
’
s College of Brooklyn, Finnessy -of Yale and Alex anderof Columbia.
The writer, who had an opportunity to compare Ruckert’
s workwith the best college centers in the East , places him wi thout hesitat ion in a class by himself . Ruckert is a star player, who is neveranchored and covers the ent ire court . He is ex cept ionally good onthe defensive work. is of robust physique, is quick of act ion
,hard to

s choice fort he All-Eastern Collegiate Team, while Finnessy gets the posi t ion ofthe All- S tar League Team and is placed as subst itute for Ruckert onthe All-Eastern l ive.
Finnessy. like Ruckert , never remains in one posit ion. He IS alwaysin act ion. and possesses the necessary qualit ies of a good center asin the previous season, he ranks above h is college rivals in the b igleague. The .eader of - the Elis
,like Captain Kiendl, may always be
relied on for a goal, his shoot ing being one of his best assets.
P ierce, the Pennsylvania center, who, although comparat ively new at
the game, made a remarkable showing for the Red and B lue, is Finnessy
’
s closest challenger. Pierce’
s fine work was one of the featuresof the Intercollegiate League season. The Yale man’
s all-around ab ilityand ex perience, however, make h im a better choice. Pierce is givensecond place on the All-League Five.
Hughes of Princeton. Loesch of Manhat tan, Heskowitz of C. C. N. Yand Whinnery of Cornell, deserve Special ment ion for their commendable work.
GUARDS .
The easiest posit ions to fill for the representat ive quintets are the
guards. The necessary qualificat ions— t hose of forward and guard
combined— were possessed by only a few players. Eliminat ion narrowsthe field _
ot’
contenders down to Lee of Columbia, Arnold of West Point .Heat h of Cornell, Walton of Pennsylvania, Benson of Columbia andFriedman of C. C. N. Y.
O f these players,Lee and Arnold are the most formidable contenders.
Both outsh ine their rivals to such an ex tent that they easily receivethe honor of holding down the posit ions of left and right guard ,
respect ively. on the A ll-Eastern Colleg iate Team.
Each is consistent , st rong on the defensive, and possesses markedability to aid in team work and in scoring . They have the requirednerve and stamina, alertness of eye,
and keen intui t ion to see the tricky
plays of opponents in t ime to turn these plays to thei r own advantage.
Bot h are ex perts in“covering up,
”and adepts in general floor work.
Heath of Cornell, who, wi th Blumenauer, was the only consistent
player hailing from the shores of Lake Cayuga,is the choice for right
guard on the All- S tar Colleg iate Five as a running mate to Lee. Bensonof Columb ia is a very capable player, who showed plenty of aggressiveness. but he was not up to t he necessary standard . He and Walton of

Friedman, the stocky guard of C. C. N . Y. , although not as finished a
player as either Lee or Heath, demonst rated h is abili ty to hold his ownwi th the best players in the country. More t han half t he points madeby C. C. N.

He always led the rallies and was part icularly eff ect ivein intercept ing his Opponents

O ther h igh class guards are Hequembourg of Union, Gieg and M itchellof Swarthmore, Copthorne of West Point , White of Princeton, Reillyof Yale and Girsdansky of N. Y. U .
These combinat ions are strong teams, both in off ense and defense,and compare favorab ly wi th choices of previous years. Each player

Basket Ball in the ArmyB x PAUL D . BUNKER,
First Lieutenant , Coast Art illery Corps.
Basket ball as played in the Army presents no greatly differentaspect from the same game as played in civi lian life. It is an ideal
game for the soldier, especially during the winters Of our Northernlat i tudes. When played by first -class teams, the amount Of ex ert ion
i t requires is astonish ing , and hence i t aff ords an ex cellent out let
for a superabundance Of energy that cannot be worked Off in the regu
lar dri lls or outdoor amusements. The game is spreading rapidlyt hroughout the ent ire Army. It now ranges from Maine to Florida,
f rom New York City to the Presidio, and has even followed the flagto the Philippines, where t here are some strong teams.
Following are a few notes, compiled from ex perience and fromreports received , wh ich . it is hoped ,
may be of service to officers andmen in starting t he game at their posts, and avoiding certain stumbling blocks t hat have t roubled others in playing the game. Let
it be stated here that the points ment ioned below are stated onlyaf ter careful consideration Of reports received from about si x ty ofour largest army posts,
and are therefore not t he opinions Of the
wri ter alone,but may be taken as t he consensus Of opinion Of that
part of the Army that has made a success Of th is part icular game.
It seems that basket ball is hard to start at most Of our posts.
I f. i t is once well started it never dies out . but increases in favor.
It is found t hat the d i fficult ies in this as in most other cases almostdisappear i f the Ofiicers take an interest in t he game and encourage
their men by helping them start t hings moving . It is usually foundbest for some officer who is interested in t he game (or whose companycontains some ‘
interested men) to get hold O f enough men for a
scrub team (quali ty does not mean so much at first ) and to workt hem out , ex plaining t he game thoroughly to them, as he brings the
team along . I f handled carefully, therewill soon be a spi ri t Of rivalryamong the men Of his company to
“ make the team.
”If he can
once get five men really interested in playing the game he is safe,and the game wi ll almost travel Of i tself t hereafter. Teams will beorganized in ot her organizat ions as a mat ter of self -protect ion, andin this, as in other sports, t here is much in
“
get t ing the jump on
your Opponents. Other things being equal, the first team organizedhas the best chance.
However, to get the best results from his team an officer must bein charge of the team and must gi ve i t real and intelligent at ten
t ion and encouragement . It is not necessary that the Officer shouldbe an ex pert player himself , but i t is necessary that he show interestin his team and g ive i t some at tent ion. In this connect ion i t mightbe stated that there is a very good manual Of the game published,
which“
will prove Of incalculable value to the beg inner and the veteran player alike —Spalding

This statement is made without inter
est , and will be upheld by all who have read the handbook in quesion.
At some posts the game is not in favor on account Of lack Ofa suitable floor. A t Fort Dade they play outdoors, with considerable success. The game can be played on almost any floor and

of free throws g ranted for fouling . Your man who commi ts manyfouls may lose you a game in spi te Of his clever playing ,
and therefore i t would be policy if he wi ll not reform (they all can, i f t heywish to) to release him. Besides the policy end of t he proposit ion,
i t should be a mat ter Of pride with all teams (and usually is, withmost ) that t hey play a clean, hard game, and can shake hands in goodf ellowsh ip after a game,
no mat ter what the outcome.
Have t he team cult ivate the true sportsman spiri t ; g ive the otherteam a yell or two after the game (especially i f you have lost ) ,
and
i f they do not belong on the post have your men invite them aroundto their barracks ; make them glad they came and desirous Of comingagain.
I t is a g reat help to those in charge Of a team to keep an accurate score, includ ing fouls, according to the Official score books. Bylooking this over you can tell at a g lance which are your most val
ua.ble men and which cost you the most . I ts value should not beoverlooked .
. Due to the fact that there are only five men on a team, manyofficers do not approve Of basket ball for t heir organizat ions. I t isbelieved this is a mistake. TO make th is team Of five
, you should t ryout every likely man in your company or t roop, and the best heldin reserve and t rained up wi th the team, In this manner you can
use many more than five men . Unt il the season has progressed con
siderably you will not t ry any of the more elaborate team format ions,
and during this t ime i t is very good ex ercise and training to get a
score Of men or so into t he game and let t hem play sides. Th is isespecially valuable in winter, when the men are snowed in, and mostoutdoor amusements are barred . Men can get more ex ercise out ofone good , fast , basket ball game than out Of an hour

’
desultory work in a gymnasium.
When teams are located near ci ties, interest can somet imes be
g reatly increased by playing outside games. The wri ter is in favorof a limi ted number of outside games. I t is easy,
however, to runthis proposi t ion into the g round , so that the teams like to play nothing but outside games. Y. M . C. A . organizat ions usually have strongteams, and being strictly amateurs
,are ordinari ly g lad to travel for
games wi thout asking . for guarantees other than ex penses. Some postsmake regular appropriat ions f rom Post E x change profits to paythe t raveling ex penses Of such teams to come to the post and furnish
a game for the amusement and edificat ion Of the men. Where t his
can be afforded it is money well ex pended .
While the system of organizing post teams and playing outside
games is a very good one,i t has been found by most ex perienaed
Officers to be bet ter, and to g ive greater returns, to promote theformat ion Of inter-company and troop leagues,
and to let the PostE x change put up an inex pensive prize for the winner, (A post teamcan be selected in addit ion, i f desired , and the ex istence of t he
league would make the select ion much easier. ) It is a mistake to
award money prizes to the winners of any athlet ic event , be t heyorganizat ions or indiv iduals. Besides making the men “
professionals”
wi th certain at tendant ev i ls result ing therefrom, i t also fails in i ts
purpose,in that i t fails to g ive the men (or organizat ion) a perma
nent t rophy in wh ich he or his company can take a just and last ing
pride. In th is day of debate on“ How to foster espri t du corps i t
would seem that a good ly array of silver cups, banners or other
t rophies in the possession of a company or t roop would greatly assist
the incoming recrui t to get the proper spiri t . And in this connect ion
i t seems proper to state the Opinion that t he organizat ions who havewon such t rophies should not necessarily keep them always in t he

Basket Ball in the Pacific AssociationBY ROBT. W. DODD.
Chairman Basket Ball Commi ttee, Pacific Association A . A . U .
The basket ball season of 19 10 - 19 1 1 was by far the most interest ing and successful of any held in California since th is game tooksuch a spurt
.
t hree years ago. A t the close of the season two yearsago,
and again last year, those Of us who had kept in touch wi th thissport marveled at the increase in interest displayed , and wondered ifits populari ty had yet reached its height . But th is season broughtfresh adherents to the game, and we feel highly grat ified with thehealthy cond itions of the sport at the present t ime.
In and around San Francisco, the number Of games played seemedalmost incredible. Teams were organized in the various athletic clubs,churches, Sunday Schools, Catholic Schools
,High Schools, and Gram
mar Schools, and the various courts were in constant daily uset hroughout the season .
The Annual Championship series conducted by the Pacific Associat ionof the Amateur A t hlet ic U nion att racted forty
- four teams this year,which necessitated t he playing Of forty games. The Academic Athlet io League Of California, comprising fi fty
- two high schools betweenT ehachapi on t he south ,
and Sacramento on the north , conducted amost successful series of games for the League Championsh ip. Owingto the size Of the league, i t was div ided into six sub - leagues, in eachOf which a tournament was conducted , and the winners Of these sixsub - leagues competed for final league championship honors. Thewinners of these sub- leagues were : Petaluma H igh School in theNorthwestern sub- league,
and Mateo High School in the Peninsula subleague ; Oakland Polytechnic High School in the Alameda County subleague. Cogswell Polytechnic College in the San Francisco sub - league ;L odi High School in the San Joaquin Valley sub - league, and BeniciaHigh School in the Solano-Contra Costa County sub -league. Thechampionship was easi ly won by the Lodi team, whose clean, fast andaccurate play put i t in a class by i tself .
The Bay Count ies Athlet ic League, consisting of High Schools in“
San Francisco and Alameda Count ies, played a series which was wonby the Polytechnic H igh School Of Oakland .
The Catholic Schools A thlet ic League conducted a series Of gamesin which seventeen teams took part . In this league the championshipin the 1 20 - lb . class was won by S t . James School and the 1 10 ‘ lb .
championsh ip was won by S t . Peter’
s School, both Of San Francisco.
In the tournament Of the Public School Athletic League of SanFrancisco there were thirty teams entered . This league is also con
ducted upon a weight basis, the two d ivisions being the 95 -lb. classand the 1 25—lb . class. The finals Of these classes were won by theHancock Grammar School. The Sunday School Athlet ic League ofSan Francisco and the Oakland Church League each held tournamentsin their d istricts.
When the season was at i ts height , about February 1 , courts werea t a premium. The onl avai lable courts in San Francisco werethose belong ing to the Y. H . A and Y. M . C. A ., Tamalpais Athlet icClub . and the I . A . A . C. In Oakland were the courts Of the Y. M . C. A
Cadet Armory and t he S t . Mary’
s College Court . Wi th so few courts
t o play upon i t was the common thing to see two games played upon‘

nament Of the Pacific Associat ion of the A . A . U three gameswere scheduled on each night of the tournament .
Not only has the number of teams and players been materiallyincreased this year, but also the number O f spectators at tending the
games has been on the increase. This was especially not iceable in
connect ion wi th the high school games played in San Francisco. I t
was not uncommon at these games to have audiences in at tendanceranging from seven hundred to one thousand . In fact , t he full
capacity of the various halls was tax ed in a majori ty Of the games
played. The same statement can not be made, however, in connec
t ion with the at tendance at the association championship. The at ten
dance at these games is not what i t Should be, but each yea we findsome improvement over the preceding one.
In the mat ter of Officials we have been quite successful. It isnot iceable,
however, that some Officials are a lit tle lax , while othersmay. at t imes, have appeared to be a li ttle too rigid in their decisions.
As a result Of a conference with a number of the Officials at the endof this season,
a plan is being perfected to have a number Of con
ferences for Offi cials at the Opening Of the coming season th is Fall tomake the Officiat ing a li t tle more uniform.
RESU LT OF THE BASKET BALL TOU RNAMENT OF THE P . A . A.
The third annual championship basket ball tournament of thePacific A thlet ic Associat ion Of the A . A . U . began February 2 andended February 25 . Forty- four ent ries were received as follows : M idget Class (not over 1 1 0 eight teams ; L ightweight Class (notover '

,and one game in Sacramento. Five of these games were

Following the recommendat ion of last year’
s commi t tee, the commi ttee this year subst i tuted in place Of the
“ Average Weigh t system,
heretofore in vogue, t he new plan Of requiring “
each individual” on a
team to weigh in under the weight in which the team ex pected to
compete. This change was the cause Of the breaking up or reorganizingof many of . our veteran basket ball teams, and as a result the games
were not as high class as we have seen heretofore. On the other hand ,
we feel that the change was product ive of much good , in that i tcompelled players to compete wi th or against others Of their own
‘
size.
Heretofore i t was possible (and th is actually happened ) for a player
of 1 3 5 pounds to play on a team in the 1 00 - ih. class with players
weighing 90 and 1 00 pounds. Nex t season, when this adjustment wi llhave been completed , we wi ll ex pect to see the full eff ect Of moreevenly matched teams in compet it ion.

Baske t Ball in Cleveland and V icini tyBr DAY PECKINBAUGH .
The past basket ball season in Cleveland and vicini ty was a veryinterest ing one, and many close games were played by the high school.college, and set tlement house teams. The Centralconducted a league known as t a e Metropolitan League, consist ing of
one representat ive team each f rom the Broadway and West S ideand four Central teams. The games were all
played at Central on account of its bet ter gymnasium andseat ing capacity. Each team played every other twice. The WestS ide
“ Y team won the league championship with a clear record. butnot without a hard bat tle, several games being decided by one or twopoints. Their team was probably the lightest in the league, butmore t han made Up for lack of weight by their fine t eam work andaccurate shoot ing . The games were not as well pat ronized as the
games of this league have been in past years° however, it was not
because t he games were not close and ex cit ing .
In add i t ion to the league the Cent ral had a representat iveteam. known as t he
“ Y"
team, composed of the pick of the best playersin the associat ion. This was only t he second year that a representa
t ive team has been supported by Cent ral Y.M .C A and in that t ime
t he team, composed of pract ically the same players both years, has
made a remarkable re ord . During the past two seasons t he Y”team
has defeated pract ically all the best independent and teamsin this sect ion . as well as several of the best college teams, the majorityof the games being played away f rom home. Among t he most notableof th is season
’
s v ictories were the ones over Yale University,~ Detroit .
M ichigan, Y.M .O . team,Kenton, and Port Clinton
,Ohio. Yale was
defeated decisively 4 7 to 2 0 , and Detroit Y.M .O. 65 to 25 on the
floor, and Port Clinton 67 to 20 at Port Clinton, Ohio, whileKenton was defeated three games out of four on t h eir home floor
by close scores. Wh ile no offi cial championsh ip can be decided , t he
Y team played by far t he hardest schedule of any team in th is
sect ion. and by their great record of victories are conceded the championsh ip by all cri tics.
The Alliance t eam of Cleveland had a very good team, winningf rom all t he ci ty teams they played, but not having much success in
t heir games out of the city. Their best v ictory was over the West“ Y
”team, winners of the Met ropoli tan League championship. They
were not on the schedule of the Central“ Y”
team. The‘
7 eidemansof the Catholic Club had the nex t best team. They, however, lost tothe West S ide
“ Y” team in a close game. Of the other teams in this
v icini ty, Kenton, Port Clinton, Company G of Ada, and Akron
were about the best . although there were numerous other cit ies whichsupported good teams.
The interest in basket ball in the smaller ci ties of Ohio is muchgreater than that shown in the larger, due probably to the fact that
t here are not many counter at t ractions in the smaller cit ies.
The Cleveland High School basket ball season was a very successful
one. Lincoln High won the champ ionship. with South and East HighSchools close up in the race. The class of basket ball played bythe high school boys during the past season was very good , and
t here were many clos and hard fought games, and all were well

Basket Ball in S t. Louis, 19 10 -19 11Br HARD HARDIN, ST. LOU I S T IM ES .
Basket ball in S t . Louis was returned to a more solid foot ing the
past winter than i t has enjoyed for several seasons. Early in theseason local teams indicated t hat t hey realized the mistake of the
year before in not hav ing t he game under proper control, and therewas a very general movement toward organizat ion. The result wasa more business- like running of t he games and proper elig ibility requirements. Many of the old followers of the sport were won back again,
along wi th new f riends, and t he at tendance showed marked improvement . More evenly matched teams in the various leagues also helpedto increase enthusiasm, and all in all the season was qui te a sat isfactory one.
The Turners League ex perienced perhaps the most successful sea
son of any of the local bodies. It had both a senior and juniord ivision, of four teams each, and t he compet it ion was ex ceedinglykeen throughout t he whole schedule. Social Turners finally won thesenior honors
'
from Sout h S t . Louis, af ter a season in which bothwere defeated by the other two t eams in the league once each . TheS t . Louis second team won from the North S t . Louis second team byone point in the play
-off of a t ie for t he junior t i t le, but t he formert eam used an inelig i ble man and the championship was awarded tot he North S t . Louis boys.
The Sunday School League championship went to the Euclid AvenueBapt ist team,
af ter an interest ing race. Five teams made up thisorganizat ion. The Euclid Avenue team was closely pressed by both
P ilgrim Congregat ional and Grace Church, but showed the best formas t he season advanced, and was the superior team at the finish .
P ilgrim won second place, with Grace Church in third posi t ion.
For the first t ime in Interscholast ic League history, Yeatman HighSchool turned out the pennant winner. Yeatman had as clever a
team as ever g raced t he league, and its right to first honors was undis
puted. Th e Western M ili tary Academy team looked for a t ime as
though i t might prove troublesome to t he Yeatman team, but in thematch between the two the lat ter five clearly demonstrated i ts supe
riority. Western took second place. McKinley High S chool finishedt h ird . The two games i t lost (one to Yeatman and the other to
Western) , were by two and three points, respect ively.
Company A was finally dislodged from its occupancy of first place
in the First Reg iment Inter-company League. The Company K teamwon this year
’
s championship f rom the A team in t he playoff of a
t ie for first place. The race between t hese two teams aroused moreinterest than has ever at tached to t he game in t he reg iment before.
T hey met'
three t imes. Company K won the first game, but the A
men came back and took the second , only to be downed by a few points
in the final match. Company B finished th ird .
A new organization, the Commercial League, made up of teams frome ight local wholesale houses, ex perienced a decidedly successful first
season. Most of t he players were newcomers at t he sport , but t here
were enough ex perienced players to start t he new men on the right
t rack. The American Brake team won first place, going through the
schedule wi thout a defeat . The Keen Kut ter five finished in second
p lace, and the Ely-Walker team won t hird posi t ion.

So close and ex ci t ing were the games throughout the season thatthe large following of the leading teams lent a zest and enthusiasmto the encounters that brought unprecedented at tendance to the contests Of the league.
Fully eighty young men were directly enlisted in t he games ofthis league and i t is hardly ex aggerat ion to say that each player put
forth his best efforts. The league should be felicitated upon the
enthusiasm and constancy wi th which the teams were encouraged bytheir
“rooters, i t should be felicitated upon skillful individual and

the principal of the school they at tend showing they have won this
standard of ex cellence.
The League has taken great pains to inst ill into the minds of everymember the ethics of sport and have on many occasions emphasizedthe fact that all cannot be winners but that all can be honest and
t ruthful, all can be, and act in a sportsmanlike manner at all t imes.
We have also endeavored to impress on their minds that a cheerful
and honest loser is more to be respected t han a dishonest winner, whofor the t ime being receives the plaudits of the mult i tude.
Right here I migh t say that during my ex perience in athlet ics Ihave never known a dishonest athlete to prosper for any great length
of t ime and always eventually he is found out and forever after
despised by people whose good opinion we crave.
We have stated t ime and again that i f we are honest in sport
we will be honest at home, and in school,becoming decent ci t izens
eventually of the city we all love, and be a credit to our school, so
in af ter years the principal and teachers will be pleased to say he
was one of our boys and is a credi t to us all.
Taking undue advantage of an opponent is the rankest kind of
dishonesty and is not the stuff truly great men are made of .
Perhaps some may say I have made out too st rong a case for
athlet ics in general and basket ball in part icular, but wi th my years of
ex perience I have come to believe profoundly that athlet ics con
ducted under proper cond it ions have a last ing influence for good,
physically,morally and mentally,

is.

The Birmingham Y. M . C. A . five ex perienced a successful season,
and although composed of pract ically new and inex perienced material.was always able to g i ve a good account of itself . The prospects att his inst i tution for a good team nex t season are brighter than everbefore. The Intra-Associat ion League, composed of colored teams,proved decidedly interest ing and brought to light much valuable material for next season
’

College basket ball in Alabama has never amounted to what i tshould be
,owing to the fact that the majori ty of the inst itutons of
learning have no indoor courts on which t o play their games. However, several have gymnasiums in process of erect ion and when theseare completed , it is ex pected that the sport will become as popularhere as elsewhere. Several colleges have at tempted playing gamesunder these handicaps and have met with remarkable success. Auburnespecially is to be congratulated along t his line
,as is also the South
ern University and several other of the minor inst itut ions of col
leg iate stand ing . The University of Alabama inaugurated class basketball last year and ex pects to have a representat ive .quintet in the fieldnex t season. The sport is fast taking hold of the men in the collegesand before many more years have passed all inst itutons of higher edu
cat ional stand ing will have their representat ive basket ball teams.
Basket ball act ivi ty in the preparatory and high school ranks wasvery marked during the past season and several of t he teams turnedout were of a very credi table nature. The B irmingham High Schoolagain captured the preparatory school championship of - the S tate.
I t also defeated teams represent ing the University of Georgia. Wetumpka Agricultural College,
Auburn, Anniston Presbyterian College.
and Nashv ille Athlet ic Club, besides all comers in its own class. The
Ensley,Tuscaloosa. and Montgomery High Schools were also repre
sented,and all enjoyed very successful and fruit ful seasons. The
prospects along this branch of the sport are even brighter than anywhere else 'and all are looking forward anx iously to the start ing of
t he nex t season.
In the Birmingham Grammar School League, which included teamsf rom the Y. M . C. A . and Birmingham A t hlet ic Club , the youngsters
enjoyed a very delight ful season. A f ter a hard fight . t he WoodlawnGrammar School finally landed the Junior
“ A”League Championsh ip,
wi th the Y. M . C. A . team finish ing a close second . The race betweent hese two teams was very interest ing to note,
and at the final contest .the enthusiasm reached fever heat . The Y. M . C. A.
“ M idgets” had a
walk away with the championship in the Junior B organizat ion and
were never headed . The popularity of Grammar School basket ball,which in the majori ty of cases is played out of doors, is steadilyincreasing in Birmingham and nex t season i t is ex pected that almostevery school in the local educat ional system will have a representat ivet eam or teams in the tournament .

Basket Ball in Western TennessBY R . E . BARTLETT
, JR M .D .
Physical Director Y. M . C. A ., Memphis, Tenn.
In Western Tennessee the game of basket ball is steadi ly gainingboth in popularIty Wlth the players and in public endorsement . Duringt he past season the number of good teams in the field enabledn thepublic to witness
’
some ex cellent games, where the scores were close,
‘tlhe
h
contests ex citIng and in which the popular . enthusiasm ran very1gA t Memphis and Jackson the game has attracted more at tent ion,
has received the stamp of approval and is beg inning to draw bet teraudiences. The Y. M . C. A . and Union College at Jackson, Tenn.
,had
good teams in the field , and the college team invaded the strongholdof a number of the best teams located in the central part of theS tate.
A t Memphis the goals were kept humming , and the large numberplaying the game clearly indicated t e keen interest basket ballat tracted and how i t appealed both to t e player and Spectator. Several leagues played hard schedules and many of these games at t ractedlarge aud iences, wh ich enthusiast ically applauded their favorite.
While a number of organizat ions were represented , three importantinst i tut ions during the past season did not foster representat ive teams,but threw their influence in with thei r men
,inducing many of them
to play on other teamswhich were in leagues. Regarding this method ,
i t may be safely stated that the results showed wisdom and good
judgment .
The Memphis Y. M . C. A . invited the grammar schools to organize
a Basket Ball League, which resulted in the format ion of a league
comprising fourteen teams. The league d ivid ed its players into twoclasses. termed A and B . In Class B no boy was permitted to playwhose weight ex ceeded 105 pounds. Class A placed the weight limitat 1 40 pounds. A t the beg inning of the season each player wasweighed (which weight included costume just as he should appear
in the game) and as often in the season as any player was thoughtto be over weight . This meant that any player was liable to be
weighed before any game,and so close were the contests and the
school spiri t so loyal, that several boys became ex perts in keepingunder weight in order to be ab le to play in important games.

Basket Ball in Kansas City and V icini tyBY D . VEEDY CAMPBELL .
There was perhaps more basket ball played in Kansas Ci ty andvicinity, or in fact t hroughout M issouri and Kansas, during the season
of 19 1 0 - 19 1 1 than ever before in the h istory of t he game. In KansasCity alone t here was a Greater Kansas Ci ty League, an Interscholast icLeague and a Sunday School League. besides numerous unat tachedteams, who played games both in and out of the ci ty. These .leagues
were all run in a businesslike manner, adhering strict ly to the A . A . U .
rules and put t ing an organizat ion to the game that heretofore hadbeen lacking .
‘There were a number of good teams in each league and some highclass play resulted . In the Ci ty League t he Kansas City At hlet ic Clubteam captured t he pennant wi thout the loss of a game
, prov ing thei r
superiori ty conclusively. Manual High S chool were the winners in
the Interscholast ic af ter a hot fight wi th both Cent ral and Westport .
fThe Ci ty League standing at t he close of the season was as
ollows :
Kansas Ci ty Athlet ic ClubY. M . C. A . Giants
”
Y. M . C. A . Tigers”
K . C. Veterinary CollegeKansas Ci ty
“ Ind ians”Marquet te A thlet ic Club
To the Kansas Ci ty Athletic Club team belong the stellar honors
of the M issouri V alley as well, for out of twenty- five games played
only one was lost , a remarkable record when i t is taken into con
siderat ion that the team played under both the A . A . L'
. and In ter!
colleg iate codes of rules, and also that only six games were playedupon t he home fioor, prov ing conclusively that t heir games were wonon their ab ili ty alone and not on account of local condi tions.
In picking a basket ball team from the many fives of the city the
Kansas City Athlet ic Club team in i ts ent irety must be chosen.
There were ten’
men on the squad and as the schedule was a longand difii cult one there was plenty of playing for all. To pick out
five of these men as stars would not only be difiicult but mightbe unjust , as Coach Henry Ashley picked his team each game accord
ing to the size and weight of his Opponents and the court s and rules
to be played under ; for, as stated above. both the A . A . U . and Col
leg iate rules were used . The usual line-up,however, was taken from
the following men : Captain George Goldman. Robert B . Elliot t . and
Ben Terte ; forwards ; Earl Dennis, center : Harry M inton,Leo Crabbs
and Paul Fogel, guards. O thers on the team included Porter Craig ,
Ernest Lowell and Howard Flury.
The one loss of the season was to the U niversi ty of Kansas, under
colleg iate rules, which defeat was af terward s atoned for by~
a v ictoryover the same five. The Kansas team were the M issouri Valley Col
leg iate Champions.
The individual work of t he , players was most sensat ional, and wh i lethe teamwork was good , the
‘d f ense somet imes lacked concerted act ion,
due largely to lack of pract i e altogether. As a result some of the

Basket Ball in Grand Rap ids and
Western M ichiganBY PAUL A . WH ITE,
Central H . S . , Grand Rapids, M ich .
T’he basket ball season of 19 10 - 1 1 was unusual for M ichigan in
a good many ways, chief among them being the unex pected showingmade by before unheard of teams, and the increase in playing abili tyshown by many of the smaller schools. This is accounted for by the
playing of more, diversified schedules and procuring of bet ter floors
Kalamazoo did not have as good a team as usual, having lost their
g iant center of t he previous year, and being beaten by Det roit Western, Jackson, and
’
by Grand Rapids twice. They, however, alwaysmake strong bids for the S tate honors and last year had as good claimas any other team in the S tate to that honor, Holland had a fairteam in the field . Lakeview
,Hast ings, and A lma have good playingfloors and put out first rate t eams for their size. Fremont always
has a team that can interest the top notch teams. Muskegon did not
play enough high school games to really make t heir schedule ofimportance interscholast ically. They were t he only team to win fromGrand Rapids, however, taking the game on their small floor, but losing ,
33 8— 4 1 3,on the regulat ion floor of the home team. The other strong
teams of the S tate were Jackson, Sag inaw, and Adrian, the first andlast having almost ' a straight string of victories to their credit , winning from all of the Detroit schools, and had they played more thana locally placed schedule and got ten away as well wi th it they mightwell be considered as championship contenders.
Locally basket ball had the best season t hat it has ex perienced sincet he beg inning of the game. The Olympic Club was represented by a
st rong team, the Y. M . C. A . had a t eam in the field, and was fosteringas well the Commercial League composed of six or seven teams that
played a close series for the city championship, the t rophy being wonby the Grombacher Major team last season. At the alsowas played off a Grammar School series that interested hundreds ofthe youngsters, and started them on their way to basket ball proificiency. Several of the churches encouraged the format ion of leaguesamong the young men and played a series among themselves.
Central High School had t he most enthusiast ic season ex periencedfor years. About seventy-five to one hundred boys were playing all
the time and the intense interest speaks well for the future of the
game here. An ex tremely ex cit ing class series was played , the firstround resulting in a t ie between the Freshmen. Junior
,and Senior
teams, from which the Seniors emerged wi th the championship Of
the school by a good marg in, taking the silver cups donated by theschool.
The first team finished the season of fifteen games with only one
defeat , winning once from Hast ings, Lakeview, Holland , Bay City,
Muskegon, and Detroi t Central, and twice f rom Alma,Bat tle Creek,
Kalamazoo, and Detroit Western, and losing once to Muskegon.
”
It
is because of winning this comprehensive and S tate wide schedule thatthe locals have been so widely supported in their claim of the
championsh ip. The ex cellence of the Jackson High and Adrian HighSchool teams cannot be denied ,
however, and had they played broader
schedules, there is likelihood that their record would have loomed as
large as any in the S tate.

191 0 - 1 1 cen tered around the fight for championsh ip honors among theConference colleges, U . S . C., Pomona, Occidental and Whi t tier.

The standing of the colleges is as follows :

By _defeat ing Whit t ier College the Orange Athlet ic Club at Orange.
Cal., claim the championship of Southern California for the season.
This team had an undefeated record .
‘
The fact t hat the Orange fivedid not meet the Los Angeles Y. M . C. A . team made i t impossibleto determine the real winners of first honors for the South
,as the
Y. M . C. A . defeated all comers.
The Y. M . C. A . teams did not occupy as important a place in theSouthern California schedule during the season as usual, because ofthe fact that most of t he associat ion games were played in a closedlea
’
gue. In th is closed league the Tigers won the first honors. A f terthe Y. M . C. A . schedule had been completed a picked team entered the
geldiand defeated U . S . C. , Riverside Y. M . C. A . and Pasadena Y. M .
The fact that this team did not meet the Whitt ier College five, whichwon the intercollegiate championship, g ives the Orange team i ts
grounds for the championship claim,as Orange defeated the Whit t ier
team before the College League schedule began.
Among the high school teams t here was keen compet i t ion for firsthonors, the Citrus Union High School finally Winni ng by defeat ingHunt ing ton Beach H . S . , in a fast game that had two addit ional
periods of play on account of t ie scores. The high school lads rankedclose to the college players for skill and Speed.

Tour of Ham ilton Baske t Ball TeamB x WALTER HAM ILTON.
The Hamilton Basket Ball Team lef t Two Rivers, Wisconsin, onJanuary 1 5 , playing the first game on the 16th at Wausau, Wis.
The team travelled West from M inneapolis on the Northern Pacificas far as the Coast and then returned via Boise, Idaho, Salt Lake CityDenver, Cheyenne,
and Omaha. The Hamilton team travelled overmi les during the season
, playing a total of forty-nine games,
only three of which were on the home floor. Several members of the
team met with accidents the first few days of the trip. Two menreturned home after being on the road one week, and two new menjoined the team, Fogarty and Speed of t he Red Wing , M inn.
, team.
The followi ng players completed the ent ire trip : Cary, Krueger,Aldous, Fox , Reddington, S peed, Fogarty and Bartelme.
Many of the games lost in the West were because of the climate andhigher alt itude which the men were not used to ; and besides, theteam met all the Western t eams right in the middle of the Season,
when they were in ex cellent condit ion. Several of the men wereinjured in rough games. On the whole, the Western teams are farinf erior to the t eams in this sect ion of the country. This is probablydue to the fact that the game is a new one.
The Hamiltons lost several games in U tah, due to the ex treme highalt i tude and the Spring floors they have in that S tate. The game withthe champions of U tah , Provo, was one of the hardest fought gameson the t ri p, ending 28 —27 in Hamilton’
s favor.
Two t ie games were played ; one wi th Wausau, the Hamiltons winning in the playoff 25— 23 , and one with Billings, the t riple
“ B’
s"
Winning in the playoff 20— 18 .
The Hamiltons were disorganized at the beg inning of the tour,due
to injuries and other circumstances, and on account of this,lost four
of the first six games. If these teams had been played on the returnt rip, t he Hamiltons could have won easily.
The trip was beneficial to the men . They saw much country, andwith one ex cept ion were treated royally in each city. They will touragain ln 19 1 1 -1 2 , providng the trip is self -support ing .
Aldous was the star for the Hamilton team. He secured one-halfof the points in the total of the games he played n.
One of the greatest games of the season was when the Hamiltonsdefeated the Company F, Porta e, Wis.

in which the jurisdiction of the Public Schools Athlet ic League wasquest ioned and threw the championship into confusion. The season
was carried to i ts terminat ion by the representat ives of the high
schools and matters finally became so complicated that no championship could be awarded . This is the first t ime that such a denouement has occurred in any championship of the Public Schools Athlet icLeague, and serves to illustrate t he importance of having a stronglycent ralized control.

Basket Ball in Recreation CentersBY D IS TRICT SUPERINTENDENT EDWARD W. STITT.
The Board of Educat ion has established recreat ion centers in fortythree schools in the five boroughs of Greater New York, The) playgrounds of these school buildings have been equipped with material forgymnastic work, including the buck,
horse, parallel bars and jumping
stands. In addit ion, at least one, and in some cases two, basket ballcourts have been :provided in each school.
Owing to the fact that in many of the older buildings the ceilingis low, the court is not always an ideal one. In some schools
, thesupport ing posts or pillars prevent a clear court , and of ten thevent ilating ducts and heat ing pipes interf ere to a greater or lessex tent .
’
In spite of these drawbacks,however
, the game is a mostpopular one, and the g irls and young women, as well as the boys and
young men, find in i t act ive and healthful exercise.
In the centers for gi rls and women, the game of basket ball is amost popular form of recreat ion. No at tempt , however, is made toencourage inter-center games and the spirit is limi ted to games playedon the home courts. Some interest ing contests are arranged betweenthe clubs of the local centers, but these are not played in the presenceof visitors.
It is thought bet ter not to make any public ex ploitat ion of the athlet ic prowess of the young women. They play the game only for thefun of i t , and the teachers in charge, while holding them to the samegeneral rules adopted for the game in all g irls
’
colleges, do not desireto develop star players. In no cases are the older g irls allowed to playagainst the younger ones, and all ex cept those who are physicallystrong and sufficiently mature are discouraged from any at tempt to
play the game.
In the centers for men and boys the game has become ex ceedinglypopular. Owing to the fact that so many wish to play the game,
the
principals are compelled to make a playing schedule, by which thecourts are reserved for certain clubs on diff erent nights of the week.
In some centers there are as many as twenty clubs of young men,and
in order to gi ve them all an opportuni ty to play, the t ime is arrangedso that the court is reserved for the players according to schedule.
AS the centers open at 7 :3 0 o’
clock each night , and close at 10 o’
clock,it is possible to have three diff erent clubs use the court upon thesame
tevening , and permit each _,to have a playing period of forty-five
minu es.
One of the teachers of gymnast ics usually acts as referee, and theten members of the teams soon absorb the rules by pract ical demonstrat ion and hand-to-hand ex perience. The game is watched by many spec
tators, who soon learn its fine points. They are, as a rule, evenlydivided in their sympathies and appreciate a clean, well-played game.
The members of the club who do not play are very proud of themteams, and become ent husiast ic
“rooters
”upon the occasion of every
game in wh ich their team part icipates. The members of the team are
provided wi th simple uniforms, made in the colors of the club andShowing by the init ials or some design t he name of the club.
Every principal encourages games between the various clubs of his
center, and of ten a series of championship ames is arranged within the
center. A t rophy is usually prov ided ,w ich becomes the temporary
property of the club which wins the series, and if won three t imes,the
prize pennant or banner becomes a permanent trophy to decorate thewalls of t he club .

Suggestions for O fficialsBY GEORGE T. HEPBRON
There was a decided improvement in the efficiency of the
Officials last season. This is to be ex pected as the rules became
better known and the Object of the game better understood ; still ,there is room for improvement.
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 ex hibited by
the Officials, the games this season will be better Officered, and
less friction will be manifested :
1 . Instant recognition ofa v iolated 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 tomake decisions— not to lecture the players.)
4 . Readiness to ex plain in the fewest possible wordswhy that
particular ruling wasmade.
5. Willingness to produce the rule as authority for action .
6 . Never,under any circumstances, allowmg the prolonged
discussion of a rule during the progress of the game.
7 . Willingness to allow the players the priv ilege of appeal fromhis interpretat ion of the rules to the proper committee.
8 . Kindness and courtesy to all and the maintenance Of a levelhead under trying circumstances.
9 . A strong purpose to follow the rules in letter and spi ri t , and
a determination not to be susceptible to outside influences.10 . Will not overstep his authority, appreciating at the same
t ime his ful l duty.
I I . Knows the rules so well that a reversal of decision is notnecessary.
12 . Impartial in all his dealings.

Suggestions tOr Teams

sioual 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 teams that play with the Official ball and save your
team from losing a game alreadywon byhav ing the game declared
forfeited because another ball wasused.
6. Select teams to play that use the Official basket ball and havea back ground in accordance with the rules.
7. Select only those teams that abide by the recognized rules,

If you are going to play a game, don’
t protest i t before the game.
E i ther play or qui t . Protests are never in good taste or in t he true
spiri tL:
I
of the game. I t helps to keep the tone of the game in a
low ey.
As soon as the game is over, call the men toget her and give a yell.
Show your opponents that you are game to t he core whether you winor lose. Teams that can take a defeat are the ones which ought to
win. Never leave the floor disgusted because things did not break
your way. Beg in right'
then planning for the nex t game. Your turn
will come later.
In choosing a line-up i t is well to consider what const i tutes a good
player. I f a man is in condi tion, knows the game and likes to play,
he will generally make good . Somet imes men who are out of condit ion play well, but what could they do i f they were in good shape.
The t raining of the captain Of ten decides what will be good for the
others. If he is willing to sacrifice a few th ings to the welfare ofthe team, the others are not slow in following his ex ample. Sucha spirit is always catching and i f i t gets started ,
i t 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 will
fight for. SO i t is up to you, the captain, to do all in your powerto make the game clean, popular and wholesome.
THE MANAGER .
Many dut ies fall on the shoulders of a manager for which he getsbut li t tle or no credit . Yet he is the man who keeps the
,
machineoiled and in good running order. Everything crosses h is pt eh duringthe season that can be thought Of . So i t follows that he must be one
Of the most essent ially well qualified men in connect ion Wi th the
team.
The following are among the many dut ies which he has to perform. First , t he making out of a schedule ; second , the choice offloors for the game ; third, the choice of offi cials ; fourth , the financial condit ion of the team ; fif th
, the at tent ion g iven to visi t ingteams ; six th , the team on a trip ; seventh ,
the record and the report0
11ithe games. Other things will come up but can be attended to at
t e t ime.
A good schedule is of v ital importance to the welfare of a team.
I t keeps not only the players enthusiast ic with something to lookforward to, but also all of t he followers of the game are interested .
If i t is made out so that the hard games come as t he season advances,i t will greatly aid in the final standing . This will help to work themen to an edge, which is the t ime for the hardest and closing game.
S t ill care should be taken to arrange t he games in regular order, so
that they do not come too near together or too far apart . Of course,the maturity and the condi t ion of the men determine the f requencyof the dates. Boys ought to be contented
'
to play for a season often weeks, wi th one game a week . Men can play more Of ten, butthere is a quest ion as to i ts advisability. Make the schedule as
short as the season warrants, with no open dates to interfere wi ththe interest of the game. If outside trips are planned , i t is wellto make them at the beg inning of the season. Let nothing interferewi th the games which mean most to the team.
Of ten a manager is able to save himself a lot of trouble by enter
ing a league. If there is no such organization i t 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 the
same Object in mind and will be governed by the same board . This
means more than i t seems to at first glance. For when all are made
S PALDING ’
S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GU IDE . 177
to Observe t he same rules and agree to abide by them good resultsare sure to follow.
Again the managers of the difierent teams might meet to d iscussand agree upon the rules. A t this meet ing i t .would be possi ble to
have the prospect ive ofiicials present to help determine the meaningof the rules. Wi th such a combined understanding and agreementof the rules, i t means bet ter enforcement . and a more sat isfactoryand a finer game all around .
The manager of the independent team has a hard job on hishands. Between such teams there is very lit tle in common and the
games are likely to be of a low grade. Of ten the strength of a
team, 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. I t should never be underrated . If t here is any glory in a victory, i t comes by beat ing thebest there is. Somet imes teams will back out at the last minute.
To. meet th is a cont ract should be drawn up at the t ime of t heagreement to the efiect that the team canceling the game withinthree weeks of the date shall forfei t to the other team a certainsum of money. This Should be signed by both managers. As soonas teams that really want to play basket ball and live up to i tsspirit can be found ,
fix a game wi th them. Drop as far as possibleall the fiend teams and st ick 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 fix ed
upon, find out the size, kind and other particulars of t he floor.
Make i t a rule to play on fiOO-rs as near to the size Of t he one usedin pract ice as possi ble. Because of the change of floors many teamsOf A - 1 caliber have been defeated by a second -rate five. Make thecondi t ions for both teams as nearly equal as possible. Don
’
t inv ite“
the crane to d inner and feed h im from a plate.
”Be square and
demand squareness.
1 °
Most always the kind of a game played depends to a great ex tentupon the officials. B e sure that you engage the best there is in t he
place. Get the ones who are filled wi th the spiri t of t he game andwho know the rules well. Such men are scarce. SO when you findone who knows, can see and has t he backbone to call, stick to him.
Not only your team needs the man, but the game needs him. Ninet imes out of ten the game turns out to be just what the Officialsmake i t . Too of ten the Officials don
’t care for much but the fee
which is tagged to t he end of the game. If they demand pay, paythem well enough to demand a good job .
Whatever money comes to t he team comes by the planning of themanager. The financial condition is generally in poor shape. Nothing is more encourag ing than to start the season wi th a clean slate
and finiSh with someth ing to the good . Plan the expenses on a scale
t hat can be met . If possible get some man or business house tofurnish the men with uni forms. Then live well within the meansof good credi t . DO not go away or have a t eam come to your placeunless the ex penses are a sure th ing . It is hard for the players to
go into their pockets for the support of the team. Look long and
plan well the money account .
For the interest of the men, keep score and every li ttle while post:a record of the work of the players. This together wi th a goodreport of the games will keep the spirit away up
o
where it belongs.
Make i t a point to report Your own games. In doIng this try to befair and g ive 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 bet ter. He shouldbe proud of the game which he represents and whatever step he
178 SPALDING ’
S OFFICIAL BASKET BALL GU IDE.
takes should be in the direct ion of put t ing i t on a h igher plane andon a more solid foundat ion.
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 instruct ions. They longfor his advice and company and will stick to h im through thick andthin. This close touch wi th t hem gives him a chance to mould into
lth
feir games elements of a quali ty which will influence them through
1 e.
The real importance of the coach will be more felt in the futurethan ever before. Not long ago a v ictory 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 fi t ; second , a variety of
play that would smother an opponent . Wh en his men went on to
the floor, he knew they would meet a team fully as strong andequally as well t rained in all departments of the game. To get somekind of an advantage tact ics of a low nature were allowed whichmight turn the t ide of bat t le and bring the much -sought crown of
glory. Things which were on hand, could be borrowed or could be
invented , were int roduced . Th is ate out the heart of t he game untili t was considered by many as a public nuisance. No game howeverstrong will last unless i t is a liv ing ex ample of the spiri t which i trepresents. In order to make the game what i t was intended to be.
a st ronger demand must be made by all for t he best there is in i t .
As soon as the coach demands t he eliminat ion of the evil tendenciesand makes h is work develop and stand for the elements of fairnessin all things,
his profession will be more appreciated by all.
Nothing detracts f rom a game more than a lax interpretat ion ofthe rules. Ignoring t he rules or their spiri t 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 i ts meaning is doing a great injusticet o a team and also to the game. Keep at all t imes well wi thin the
bounds of what the game ought to be. It is easy t o let t he rules
go. The audience knows very li t tle about them. They get theiropinion of the game as it is played and report i t to others whoimag ine the game far different from what i t really is. If t he coachesare proud of the game that they teach , they must teach and demandbet ter knowledge and bet ter enforcement of the rules.
There are a few things which mean a great deal to the team.
Of ten a young coach will t ry to develop the team too quickly. He
has a lot of material on hand , but does not consider the t ime i t tookto get i t . With young and inex perienced men a great deal of pat ienceand time must be spent . The coach ing t hat is given must be of a
simple nature. Complex plays demand too much t ime and are beyondt h e ability of the player, and they also demand frequent and longpract ice, 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 t ime has been thrownaway. So teach th ings that will be used . A fellow cannot go beyondh is abili ty. The team will develop faster by giving them a few easyplays, each new one to come only af ter t he old one has been welllearned . The team must be..a machine. A simple one t hat will workis bet ter than a complicated one that will not . Then of course oldermen in ex perience can be worked longer, harder and g iven more

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 managerswere able to size up theirmen moreaccurately. This score book is almost a necessity to the managerof a team who wishes to keep accurate record of all hisplayers;who made the fouls, and what kind of fouls; who made the
goals, and under what conditions they were made. A samplepage for a sing le team is herewith g iven. In the first column isfound 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 0 nothing and the X inside an 0 ,
one point . At the bottom of the column is the total number ofpointsmade during that half. In the third column are the fouls.
First , isA I . By referring to the bottom of the page, under the
head of FOU L S , we see that A l 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 beendisqualified. 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
thisway is of the greatest value, and without it a scientific esti«
mate of the men ishardly possible.

Basket Ball Notes
.
Omaha (Neb.) —.
The Omaha Y” team claims the championshipof Nebraska and Iowa, having lost but one game during the season— to t he
g reat Company F team of Portage. Omaha’
s score for the season was 266points to opponents
’123 .
R . C. Jenkinson Tive,Newark , N. J.
—This husky quintette of basket ballshooters of the thi rd c1ty playground of Newark, N. J. , made an excellentrecord for themselves during their first season. They get most of theirt raining on t he open courts of the city playgrounds, which seems to makeand develop unusually vigorous players.
Gloucester (Mass ) Basket Ball Association.— The Gloucester Basket Ball
Association had a most successful year, their first in the field . Wi th a
pract ically local team t hey played the ent ire season without a change ofline-up. Af ter def eat ing all the t eams of note in Massachuset ts they playedRhode Island, Connect icut and Hudson R iver and Cent ral League teams,winning a large majority of games, and playing a close game with t heWorld ’
s Champions. The team ended the season in a blaze of g lory bydefeat ing the South S ide team of the Central League, whose line-up includedHarry Hough, Willie K inkaide, Bobby Mayham, Ahearn and Brady, all starsin the game.
Hardwick (V t .) Athletic Association.— Fourteen victories out of eighteen
played is the splend id ;r ecord of the team, and when such a record is made
without the -benefits of coaching , i t is remarkable. Manager LaJoy’
s
schedule was a long and hard one, but the players never faltered , and wi ththe encouragement g iven by the members of t he associat ion and t he loyalfollowers of the team, finished the season in splendid shape. Cass. Underwood and Ainsworth played in all of t he games; Captain Marshall in seventeen and Brown in ten ; U t tom, Russell, Bill and Leo Johnson and Bardelli
took part in a lesser number, but acqui tted themselves cred itably. Theofficers of the associat ion are: P . A . Shat tuck , president ; Herman Davis,secretary; J . R . S tewart , treasurer, and J . O. LaJoy, basket ball manager.President Shat tuck states that the team is strictly amateur in every sense
of the word and uses Spalding equipment exclusively.
S t . Mary’s College Prep. Team, Newark , N. 21.— The past season was by
far the most successful in the history of the S t . Benedict’
s. The team as
developed through the unt iring efforts of Coach Frank H ill was easily the
best comb inat ion of players that has yet worn the colors of maroon and
g ray for the High S treet school. Out of the twenty contests wi t h the p ick
of the Eastern high school and college f reshmen teams, but one game
resulted adversely for S t . Bened ict’
s. This was the ini t ial game wi th the
Barringer H igh School team, wh ich later won the interscholast ic championship among the public high schools. This defeat was wiped out in t he
second meet ing of these teams, when the Bened ict’s players t rounced t he
Barringer boys in a close game. The most signal victory of t he H igh S treet
boys was recorded over the Metropolitan champions, the Newtown H ighquintet te. The remarkable form d isplayed by S t . Bened ict’
s in t his gameis
‘
borne out by the numbers of points scored , the final count being 60 to
20 . Among the other notable victories tallied by S t . Benedicts were thoseover the strong Perkiomen S eminary, Columb ia Freshmen, New York Universi ty Freshmen. Orange H igh School, S tevens Freshmen and S tuyvesant H i gh
School. Manager Jerry Mahoney must also be complimented on the excellentschedule made possible by him— t he best S t . Bened ict
’s ever had . Captai nJones ran his team well during t he whole season and is especially proud
of t he fact that not once during t he season was one of his men ordered
f rom a game for roughhouse. The team will lose most of i ts members by
graduat ion,Jones, Henninger, Flari ty, McQuade and Mcwalters havmg gone
in June, but Cat terall. Carlin, Gilhooly and Radel, bes1des several good men
f rom the second squad , will be on hand , and a good team W111 be developed.

Y. M . C. A . League, Macon, Ga.— This league played a seri es of twelve
games for the Associat ion Championsh ip . A large silver cup was donatedby a local jeweler, on which t he names of the w inning team' was inscribed.
Keen interest was manifested throughout the ent ire season, and no bad f eeling was engendered in any of the games. At the end of the season t he
:33s and A

The Shamrocks Team, I thaca, N . Y . Th is team was organized in theearly part of 191 1 . All the players had had considerable experience w ithother teams. Although they got a late start , when i t was hard to schedule
games, they made a splendid showing , losing only one game, and piled uplarge scores against t heir opponents in the ot hers. Wi th all th is year
’s
players back for next year and also many new cand idates, they expect to
have a very strong , winning aggregat ion at the Opening of the 1911 - 19 1 "
season.
Brambleton Athletic Associat ion, Norfolk , Va.— This group represents the
fast B . A . A . quint , who have for several years contended for the championship of T idewater, Va. The Bramb leton A thlet ic Associat ion of Norfolkhas long been a factor in athlet ics and t heir record of 1910 - 1 1 is one t hat
any team ,might envy. Contend ing wi th teams largely t heir superior in
height and weight , t hey played through t he season wi th only one defeat ,having played twelve games, of wh ich only three were played in t heir own
gymnasium, scoring a total of 143 points more than their opponents.
Company D , 5th Infantry, Plymouth, Mass. —Company D played
21 games, winning 18 and losing 3 , scoring 705 points during the season to
t heir opponents’
427 . Bell captained t he team, with Grant as manager.
They have met only the st rongest teams in Eastern Massachuset ts. Captain
Bell allowed his Opponents to score but 22 baskets the ent ire season. Fogartyand Downton were the highest individual scorers, Fogarty scoring 8 1 goals
f rom the floor and Downton 60 . Smithson refereed all games and was very
sat isfactory, showing no part iality and allowing only clean basket ball.
Mt . Oliver Basket“
Ball Club , Pit tsburg , Page—LThe team, yvhich represented
M t . Oliver on t he basket ball floor for t he season just closed was t he best
which ever played under the Red and -Whi te ~ colors and the‘
team was con
sidered the best in t he independent class in t his locality. Although wi thoutthe services of a home floor, t he team made quite a remarkab le record for
the season, havi ng won thirty games out of thirty-seven games played .
Every one of their defeats can be t raced back to where not a regular player
Was in the— line- up , owing to injuries or ot her mishaps, which were unavoid
able, but t his is not offered as an excuse, but merely, as a mat ter of fact ,
to show that the regular line-up had not suffered a defeat . They hold the
best claim to the Independent Championship of Greater P it tsburg , they
being the only team to defeat the Z ionist Council five on t heir home floor.and defeated the Allentown A .A . team three st raight games, these two
fives having met and defeated all the b est fives in th is locality,.
and were
pract ically t he only other t eams who could claim t he championship. They
also finished a t ie for first place in t he Sout h P it tsburg League, but owmgto a cont roversy, the decid ing game was never played off . When the
season for 19 1 1 - 12 opens. the team will probably have a home floor, and a
record t hat will eclipse all their former records can be looked for. C. W.
Berkman of Walnut S t reet , M t . Oliver, w ill again manage the t eam.and
any first - class t eams desiring to arrange games should correspond wi th him.

-The team’s record for
the season was 10 games won, 1 lost and 1 t ie. The g ame lost was theonly one played Wi th a team out of the S tate. The t ie game was w ith t heformer champion Parkersburg on the lat ter
’
s floor. The teamclaims the championship of the S tate. A . 0 . De Vol is physical d irector.
Chelsea (0 kla.) High School.— The season of 1910 - 11 was the best theChelsea H igh School has ever had . Wh ile they had not lost a game duringthe two preceding years, they had stronger Opposi t ion this year. Consideringthe fact that t here are only nine boys enrolled in the Chelsea H igh School.they have made a remarkable showing . Muskogee won the S tate highschool championship f rom Chelsea by winning two of the three very closelycontested championship games.
Holy Trini ty A .A Roxbury, Mass— Last season was a very successfulone, t he record being 20 out of 23 . The team has played together for the
past five seasons pract ically unchanged and has a record around Boston of
playing a clean game. Thei r opponents have been mostly mili tary teams ofabout 13 0 pounds weight . The well- known Geden brothers are forwards,
t he backs J . Mueller and L . Will. C. Mueller who acted as captain andmanager, had to leave during the season on business, and was ably replacedby Fred Thomas.
Saylor School, Spokane, Wash.— This school holds the championship of the
g rammar g rade of t he ci ty of Spokane. They def eated Logan twice andHamilton once, and Logan refused to play t hem again. In the twelveregular games, Saylor lost but two, and both of these were to high schoolteams. Saylor scored 429 points in the twelve games, while their opponentsscored 153 . The following boys played on the team : Saylor, Oliver, Harvey,
M i tchell Phase, Craney and Jones. Coach Copp turned out a fast bunch ,
considering that he only had ten boys to select the team f rom. They
played a fast , clean game, and wi th most of the boys back next season,
the five should be much stronger.
St . Francis College, Loretto, Pa.— The team again performed the feat .
almost on a par Wi th t hat of 1909 10 . of not suffering a single defeat on
t he home floor. The hardest fought bat tle of t he season was, undoub tedly,
that versus the Lyceum of Altoona. in which the score was t ied , alter
nately, on at least nine occasions. During t he season the team secured 923
points to their opponents’
4 3 0 , or an average of almost 42 points to each
game. Individually, Captain Farabaugh led wi t h a total of 3 63 points, or
a slight marg in of three. points over J . Foy. The lat ter, however. took
part in two more games. Foy led up to the last game, in which he wasovertaken by Farabaugh . Foy
’
s work was of premier class, notwi thstand ingt hat his t ime for team pract ice was very limi ted. H is foul shoot ing on no
f ew occasions counted much in deciding several games. A . Tallon, the
midget forward of the - team, certainly was the star shootero
in p inch plays.
Had Tallon possessed the streng th of his team mates, h is result wouldsurely have shown a more telling effect . Yet he always played a steady,
cool and fast game. G. Drotar and D . Toland , as guards, were as for
midable a pair of guards as p robably could be selected for the team. Both
are quick thinkers and sure at t heir post . To t hem belong t he honoro
of
having prevented one team f rom securing even a lone goal, and also allowmgbut one goal to another visi t ing quintet . On nei ther of t hese OCCQ S IOBS d id
the opposing forwards locate the basket . Remarkab le do say, t hi s IS the
second season under the management of R . F. Barry in whi ch the collegete
agm, having played forty
-one games on home floor, has not suffered a S ingle

, MONT.
Interest in basket ball wasnever so intense inMontana and NorthernWyoming since t he net -
game was introduced as during the winter of1 9 10 - 1 1 . Two things assisted a natural rev ival of the winter sport .
First , the tours of the crack fives of Portage, Wis. , and Two Rivers,Wis. , t hrough t he terri tory aroused much ex citement and dissipateda general idea that basket ball was a
“
g irls’
game”
by showingperfected and scienced team play by men ; second
, two loving cupswere offered for state championships, E . Creighton Largey, the But temillionaire, placing one for the state athlet ic championship and theAg ricultural college at Bozeman giv ing the other for the championh igh school team. The Triple B
’
s of Billings won the first and theB i llings high school the second .
The preliminary games of the season resulted in the Maroons ofButte winning t he Western Montana championsh ip, defeat ing _alltheir state opponents in the West
, though they lost to both Portageand Two R ivers. In Eastern Montana the Billings T riple B
’
s likewise defeated all state teams, besides besting Two R ivers twice,
though losing to Portage. In Northern Wyoming the B ig HornAcademy of Cowley cleaned the slate without a defeat .
The final games resulted in the undisputed superiori ty of the TripleB
’
s, who toured Northern Wyoming , winning all five games played
and defeat ing t he Cowley team twice on their home floor, and later
took a second trip into t he West , playing four games without a defeatand overwhelming the But te quint on their home floor. In add i tion,
the Triple B’
s defeated twice the touring Valley Ci ty team of NorthDakota, who had won all games played against North Dakota teams,and defeated Two R ivers, but fell before Portage. The Triple B’splayed twenty-one games and lost but the Portage game. Thei r
average score was 60— 1 6 .
Among the h igh school teams, the state championship was decidedin a grand tourney, promoted by John H . McIntosh , physical d irector
of the Agricultural College, at Bozeman. S ix teen teams represented
six teen out of the twenty-seven count ies of Montana. The contest
narrowed down to the Anaconda H igh School of Western Montanaand the B illings High School of Eastern Montana, the lat ter winning the deciding game and being awarded t he lov ing cup . The
B illings high played th irteen games in t he season and won them all.
Their average score was 3 5— 8 .

official NO. M and the No. E balls cost each, and for rm ;
No. 18 ball each.
The official goals specified in the rules are the Spalding No. 80 .
A unique feature of their construction is that the bottom may beleft open if desired,
for practice games, so that the ballmayreadilydrop through, and be readily closed by a draw string for matchgames. The official goals cost per pair. No annoyingstoppages of the game will occur when these goals are used.
No. 8OH , ex tra heavy construction goal for large gymnasiums,costs per pair. The Spalding practice goals, with japannediron ringsand brackets, complete with nets, cost per pair.
When the game is played outdoors, it is necessary to have out
door goals, which consist oi a pair of 4 x 6- inch chestnut posts,to which is attached a backstop made of tongue- and-

ball goals. The woodwork is g iven two coats of durable out
d0 0 1 paint , to preserve the wood. The price of a pair of outdoor
goals is
Nets, separate for goals, made of heavy twine, hand knitted,
white, cost 50 centsper pair.
Sometimes it is not convenient to have backstops put in whenarrang ing a place indoors for basket ball and generally it is nex tto impossible to find someone who knows how to make them so
they will be just right. Spalding backstops are made of seven
eighth inch hardwood, matched and reinforced on the back withthree cleats of 2 x 2%- inch material, so that it is only necessary
to attach them to the wall by bolt ing through the cleats,which
ex tend a little above and below the backstops. These backstops
cost per pair.
Sleeveless shirts for basket ball cost 50 cents,
and
according to quality of material— sanitarycotton or worsted .

price they grade to as low as $ 1 the latter being of good
quality cotton. Sweaters are a necessary article of every basket
ball player’s outfit and it isworth while gett ing a good one. The
very best sweater made, same qual ity as used by all the largecolleges, is the Spalding No. AA, which costs each,
and
is certainly the finest specimen made, being ex ceedingly heavy.
Lighter sweaters in the same grade cost $6 0 0 and $5 0 0 , accord
ing to weight . The Spalding shaker sweater is a very goodsweater for the money 50 . In jacket sweaters the SpaldingNo. VG,
made of best quality worsted with pearl buttons, in

A Standard Qualitymust be inseparably linked toa Standard Policy.
Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for amanufacturer tolongmaintaina Standard Quahty.
Tomarket hisgoodsthrough the jobber, a manufacturermust provide a profit for the jobber aswellas the retaildealer. Tomeet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged toset aproportionatelyhigh list price on hisgoodsto the consumer.
Toenable the glib salesman,when booking his orders, tofigure out attractive profitstoboth thejobber and retailer, these high 11st pricesareabsolutelyessential; but theirrealpurposewillhavebeenservedwhen themanufacturer hassecured hisorder from the jobber, and the jobber hassecured hisorder from the retailer.
However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer. who does not , and, inreality, isnot ever expected topaythese fancy list prices.
When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading but alluring high listprices, the retailer begins to realize his responsib1lities, and grappleswith the situation as best he
can, byofi’ering
“
specialdiscounts," which varywith local trade conditions.
Under this system of merchandising , the profits to both the manufacturerand the jobber areassured; but asthere isnostabilitymaintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competitionamongst the localdealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices bywhich the profitsofthe retailer are practically eliminated.
Thisdemoralization alwaysreacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists on lower, and stilllower, prices. Themanufacturer in his turn, meets this deniand for the lowering of prices by the
onlywayOpen tohim, viz the cheapening and degrading of the quality of hisproduct.a The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, 12 years ago, in 1899, A. G. SpaldingBros. determined torectifythisdemoralization in theAthleticGoodsTrade, and inaugurated what
has since become known as“
The Spalding Policy.
”
The“
Spalding Policy”eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding Goods are concerned;
and the retaildealer secures his supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturerunder a restricted retailprice arrangement bywhich the retaildealer isassured a fair, legitimate andcertain profit onallSpalding AthleticGoods, and the consumer isassured a Standard Qualityand is
protected from imposition.
The Spalding Policy isdecidedly for the interest andprotectionof theusersof AthleticGoods,and acts in twoways:
FIRST— Theuser is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods, andthe same fix ed prices toeverybody.
SECOND— Asmanufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in purchasing at
the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufactureof our variousgoods,wellahead of their respective seasons, and thisenablesus to provide the necessary quantityand absolutelymaintain the SpaldmgStandard of Quality.
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to supplyconsumers at ourregular printed catalogue prices
— neithermore nor less— the same prices that s1m1lar goods are sold
for inourNewYork, Chicagoand other stores.
AllSpalding dealers, aswellasusersof Spalding AthleticGoods, are treatedexactlyalike, andnospecialrebatesor discriminationsare allowed toanyone.
Positively, nobody; not even officers, managers, salesmen or other employee of A. G. SpaldmgBros, or anyof their relatit esor personal friends, can buySpalding Athlet1cGoods at a discount
fromthe regular catalogue prices.
This, briefly, is the “
Spalding Policy,
” which has already been in successful operation for the
past 12 Years, andwillbe indefinitelycontinued.
Inotherwords, The Spalding Policy isa squaredeal for everybody.
A. G. SPALDING BROS.
