Dean Indiana University ARTICLE II THE PROGRESS OF BASKETBALL Basketball has progressed rapidly during its short life to the place where it is generally recognized as the second major sport. The game has advanced solely on its merits. Proximity of crowd to players had made it possible for spectators to experience thrills which go with speedy ac ion more than in any other sport. ( Fine gymnasiums and field houses in this and other states are real testi mony to the progress of basketball. Demand for greater seatin’' space has led the larger Indiana towns to build gymnasiums with seating capacities of four to five thousand. Fine field houses with seating capacities of eight to 15.000 have been built to meet this demand in college basketball. The In diana State High School Basketball Tournament is playing each year be fore 20.000 fans and offers a great spectacle to sportdom. Schedule making and tournament play in high schools have been regulated by state high school athletic as- I sociations to the extent that high t school basketball is on a sounder basis I than ever before. In former years J schedules consisted of 35 gtines, which were too many for high school boys some states 18 to 20 games make up the schedule -. Tournament play has been arranged so that the strain of long tournaments is avoided. This is done by spreading tournamen s over a period of three weeks instead of twc. s The basketball coaches in the Big t Ten Conference have been using the , round robin schedule system for the < last few years. Each conference team plays every other conference team two out of three years. This makes for fair competition in that no schedule can be picked to satisfy the coach. Major John L. Griffith, commissioner of I; g Ten athletics sets the dates for all con- ' ference games and assigns the offi ? cilas. Uniformity of officiating is an other sign indicating the progress of 1 the game. It can safely be said that ‘ officiating is on a higher plane now ' than ever before. Basketball is the 1 hardest game of all to officiate and 1 necessitates competent officials. During the last few years schools for officials have been held in order to standardize officiating and to place more compe.ent men in the field. Indiana University’s Athletic Department under the direction of Mr. Z. G. Clevenger, conducted one of the first officials schools in the west. Basketball has gene through differ ent evolutionary stages and with each succeeding one the game is becoming more scientific. The game is on a sounder basis and more popular than ever before. TOMORROW: CHANGES IN THE BASKETBALL 1929 30 American Association Sets 1930 Ball Schedule Chicago, Nov. 27.—(U.R)—The American Association will play a 154-game schedule during 1930 and the season will open on April 15 and end September 21, according to a ruling made in the annual meeting here. Presidents of the eight clubs in annual meeting with President Thomas Hickey ruled that the western clubs should open in the east on April 15. Opening dates were announced as follows: Minneapolis at Toledo; St. Paul at Columbus; Milwaukee at Indianapolis; and Kansas City at Louisville. There was some agitation in the meeting for a 168-game schedule but th ! s finally was overruled. I There was no discussion of the ever present draft problem and there was no vote on the split season, according’ to President Hickey.

The' laiektrncn came home a year ago I with a 25-35 win. Herb seems to ] think the game will be close with a j few breaks enough for either team to, win. B —oOo--Basketbawls, not knowing as much ’ is Coad) Curtis thinks that if the Jackemen play good basketball, they can defeat Auburn !-■ the same margin as usual—about 10 points. —oOo — The Girls’ team will have some tough opposition too — but the local team is one of the best ever to represent girls’ athletics here and if the Misses Macklin and Werling are hitting the net like they did last Friday — Decatur should win. — oOo — Berne Bears journey to Montpelier tonight for a net tilt. Montpelier haSf a good team and the Bears have a good team, so you can guess any i score you want to. — 000— Monmouth goes to Hoagland tonight for a game with the Madison township netters. Harve Haggard has worked the Eagles hard th s week and he expects his Root township aggregation to show a lot of improvement against the bigger Madison township team. Monroe meets Geneva at Decatur • high school gymnasium tonight. Both teams have been playing good basketball this season and a good game and 1 big crowd are expected. —oOo — Thursday night Decatur General Slectric club will meet Fort Wayne Hoosiers in a Thanssgiving night tilt. —oOo — The General Electric band will give f a concert before the game and between halves at the G.
