“What {onstirues o Good Bas}:etßall‘ : Player? , Needlers’ to say the answer to this question iy met what it would have heen at this time last year. Each year the -demands of 'the game are more exactings upon (hose whs would excell in it. Those of us who note the unnual recerds of the Indianapolis Speed way are impressed with the fact that edch vear the average speed of the winner ])s higher. The car that won in this ;y(i:’d",f, e’vent may not he of sufficiently progressive design to excell in next year’s even, ' So it ig in the game of baskethall. . It is true that the ﬁmdamemal demand of 2 sound heart and sound lunzs ever remain the same. Not so with the demands of technique scientific thinking and strategy. A good old stvle basketball team could no more heat a modern team than Alexander or Hanibal could overcome GenPershing. Even the group of activities known as “fundamentals of baskethall” has been enlarged now including the pivots, and scientific offense gnd defense. It has become the grézn" American indoor game ’and is typicaliy American. Clevgr foot work and scientific, work on offpnse and defense have revolutionizeld bhasketball making it a game 6f. scignce and headwork.

Tremendous size and bulky strength are no longer qualifications. for' the game. ' Kach year the con~l sensus of _public opinion expressed through the rules committee requires that the rules be slightly revised andl made; more consistent, The good basketball player has: ini--liativ#§ he has sound judgment, he | faces|a crises calmly and does not become| easily excited, he is fait and‘ square, he has mastered the fundamentals of the game together w,ith! the details that they involve, he has developed a sound body and controls it perfectly, he is reliable and he has developed the- qualities necessary for existence in America namely speed, accuracy. In view of. these things why |should not the American, public

As a matter of fact, dui-

ing the first four or five weeks production was deliberately held down to ten or twelve cars a day. - ~ ‘lncreases were made from fime {o time, on a careful basis until production finally ;eached a sizable volume. Meanwhile, Ajax performance in the hands of owners throughout thg country anfl abroad, made necessary pians ‘for additional {factory equipment so that production might be increased 100% to meet the demand of the buying, @pu'blic._ ‘ ““This increased production will beconre operative *with the ' installation of the necessary machinery and equipment which probably will have completed about February I.’ ; Urge Fish licenses - ' Reccmmending @ universal fishing license law be enacted in Indiana the state division of the Tzaak Walton League cleosad its annual convention at Elkhart Friday night.
