Guest Columnists Reveal Inside Facts About Various Sports basketball (between 3,000,-00- 0 and 4,000,000), it Is truly the national sport Its continued development will be limited only by the accommodations provided for spectators. Mr. Ned Irish, through his use of Madison Square Garden the last two years, has created a national Impetus which no other factor has equaled. There Is no doubt that schools and colleges henceforth will provide seat--ln- g faclltles for, crowds of 10,000. to 30,000 when .planning .gymnasium construction. The game is definitely big tlmen and never will return to an intramural status. Further assurance of Its big time caliber is Its recognition as an Olympic sport. I am absolutely opposed to ellmlna- tlon of the center jump, the play after a successful free rule as applied throw, the to the circle, elevation of the baskets and any change involving a sacrifice of Individual technique for a mat(, fire department fdot race, or additional advantage to the type of play. At the basketball coaches' convention held In Chicago last year. Dr. James Naismlth, Inventor of the game, made a strong appeal for retention of the center jump. Its abolition, he pointed out and I heartily agree with him would discriminate, against the tall, gangling boy. He is in the minority, anyway, and should not be legislated out of virtually the only team sport for which his extra" height qualifies him. Cutting out the center jump would, furthermore, put too much strain on the players by depriving them of the short rest between the scoring of a goal and the return of the ball to the center circle. Basketball Is one of the most strenuous of all mass games. To force schoolboys to travel at top speed for 40 minutes without a breathing spell would make It tod exhausting. The rule was introduced to prevent the tugging and pushing that accompanies the back-up- " type of pivot play. As applied, however, it not only has eliminated one of the most colorful features of the game but has barred about 20 per cent of the front court from offensive use. Coach Prog Allen of the University of Kansas wants the baskets raised to a height of 12 feet I can see no reason whatever for this change. Without doubt the blocking question caused more intersectional controversy than all other disputed points. No two persons seem to be entirely in agreement concerning the Interpretation that should be placed on the rules. Basketball has proved Its merit Lets forget rules changes.

Its strong appeal lies in the fact that persona of any ' weight or size may play it Physical fitness Is essential to succeed In all branches of athletics, but soccer demands more stamina than almost any other. The season Is unusually long, extending over a period of nine months, from September to May. In the course of this grind the player acquires the endurance necessary to carry him through a bruising, contest calling for ninety minutes of continued action, except for a interval between halves. Soccer Is football in Its most ancient form and is the one type of football that does not belie the generic term, since It Is played with the feet Its origin Is so obscure that Adam may have kicked an apple around the Garden of Eden for Eves amusement Historians tell ns the early Greeks played a game roughly resembling footbalL The Romans also had a pastime in which an inflated ball was Eu-ro- hard-foug- ht ten-minu- te used. Centuries ago football played a part the celebration of Shrove Tuesday at Chester, England, and contemporary chronicles state that the head of a Dane was used for a ball. In the Fourteenth century the game attracted the .attention and drew the Ire of the authorities. On April 13, 1314, Edward II issued a proclamation outlawing it as a breach of the peace. But It grew In spite of royal edicts. Oliver Cromwell speaks of playing football In his letters. At that time it was lawful to kick an opponent In the shin, trip him or take the ball away from him by any means. Soccer was Introduced Into the United States gradually, and its development has been slow compared with its progress In other nations, chiefly because It has been regarded as a foreign sport and thought, erroneously, to be lacking In the combative elements favored by the American pubIn lic. More than sixteen nations now play the game. In England and Scotland attendances of 100,000 are not uncommon The largest stadium In South America was built especially for soccer and accommodates 125,000.

All of the others are hockey pictures, mementos of my biggest sports thrills the Boston Olympics world championship victory at Prague in 1933. The skill elements in both games are somewhat similar In that practice and constant practice Is the main item. For most hockey players that means scrimmaging, skating through the defense for a shot at a guarded net.
