I bit of hoop information recently
through Gregory's sport column in
the Morning Oregonian. Gregory
had often wondered, as had many
other basketball fans, how far a
player runs during a basketball
game.
Gebert placed a pedometer on
his foot in a recent game with
Oregon at Pullman. He played all
but nine minutes of the 40-minute
game and the pedometer showed
he ran a fraction over seven miles
The pedometer was set so that it
measured steps only 30 inches or
more in length. Gebert says the
figure isn't accurate for it meas
ured leaps into the air as well as
the steps. But we feel that Geb
ert exerted as much, if not more,
energy in leaps as well as the
steps.
Gebert estimated he has played
in 240 basketball games in his
high school and college career and.
using the pedometer readings in
the Oregon game as a basis of
figuring, estimated he has run a
little over 960 miles on the maple
boards Boy, that’s a lot of exer
cise.
