PLUS GANGLAND'S CRUELEST CRIMINAL turns out to bo 111 Kirk Gebert, guard on the Washington State basketball I team, brought out an interesting 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.
