Kan. wv-For several years an opinion has grown that bos- xetoaii is entirety ioo st-njuuuuj iui the participant. Dr. James Naismlth of the Univer sity of Kansas and tho "Father of Basketball" took as a working hosts for research work Into the problem, high school boys competing In a tournament held at the university. Every boy competing In the tourna ment underwont a thorough physical examination. After the fourth cham pionship game tests showed that the members of tho Wichita High school team,' the - winners of the state tournament, and later winners of the national championship at. Chicago, were In better physical condition than at any time during the tourna ment, or the members of the two teams that played for tho championship the test of but one man gave any indica tion that previous opinions that bas ketball was too severe on me ncaru and kidneys of normal high -school bova mlirht be sound. Basketball seems strenuous to the spectator because the spectator nat urally follows the ball, which Is the locus oi activity, . However, some years ago, Dr. J.-H. McCurdv of Springfield college, Springfield. Mass., conducted a sim ilar test upon team members at that college and found that 87 per cent ot the players showed traces of heart and kidney strain. Perhaps the difference In the re sults of the two tests was due to the differences in the ages of the two groups. Tho wear and tear on the older physical machines was too severe. Another Interesting test was made on four btgh; school teams, which wero entered in a league tournament., to ascertain the actual .number of minutes the average high school bas ketball player wua In motion during an entire game. A separate watch was kept on each of the 20 players in the games. When ever a pluyer stopped, the watch stopped, and count was resumed again when the player resumed ac tivity. The results of the Investigation ware as follows: 1. Average time elapsed for one 10 minute period of play 13 minutes. 8 seconds. 2. Shortest time of activity for any one player 3 minutes, 32 seconds. 3. Longest time of activity for any one player 7 minutes, 31 sec onds. 4. Avorago tlmo of activity for each player 5 minutus, 38 seconds. 5. , Percentage of average activity ot each player to tho entire playing time 39.8 per cent. Such studies as these stimulate further research studies and settle many moot points of argument. Mental Stance: It Is possible to acquire a favorable frame of mind or a mental stance by the kind of practice that helps a man to acquire correct body stance. It Is good pedagogy to assume that the very best skill and a consistent high level of performance cau not be attained unless the right kind of mental stance has been acquired. Investigators are finding thut the reuctlon time of forwards Is faster than that of guards. Porhaps we can go back to primitive man for this explanation : The pursued must of necessity have quicker reaction time than the pursuer. The visual, auditory and taclle re actions must bo thoroughly studied In our athlotos. to find them their highest and best possibilities. Truly. athleUcs ure taking on a more scientific aspect and are now an integral part ot the educational scheme. ot our.uatlou. CIT OFF DOU'S TAIL EVANBTON. 111..
