mm Op L . By Coach CverettS. Dean Indiana University (Editor's Note) —lndiana is generally recognized as the greatest basketball state in the Union and thousands of Hoosiers will follow breathlessly the fortunes of their teams this winter. They will cheer their favorites galloping up and down the floor, and will catch the spirit of the game, but few will fully see the real science in the game. To enable a better understanding of the game—its history, rules, fundamentals, offensive and defensive styles of play, this paper has arranged for a series of articles by Coach Everett S. Dean, of Indiana University. Dean was all-Conference center at Indiana and had a highly successful career as coach at Carlton College before he joined the Indiana coaching staff in 1924. At Indiana he has turned out three Big Ten champions, two in basketball and one in baseball, and his basketball teams have landed in second place twice. Dean is author of an instructional movie film on basktball and has just recently completed a set of slides and a bulletin on basketball which is being used widely by high school and college coaches. The History of Basketball The necessity*of an indoor winter sport brought about the game of basketball. Dr. James Naismith was the originator of the game, which was first played at the Massachusetts Y. M. C. A. { Training school at Springfield in 11891. Today, due to its rapid [ development, it occupies- an im- | portant place in the physical ed-

ucation system of this country. Basketball became popular im- 1 mediately, as is evidenced by its < rapid spread westward, where it < appeared, in 1893. Originally | there were nine men on a team. 1 Naturally this was unsatisfactory j because there was too much con- , tact. To remedy this defect, the team was reduced to seven men, which made the game so much faster that the rules committee proposed a five man team. Despite the fact that fans disapproved of this change, they soon acknowledged it as an improvement. Peach baskets were originally used as goals, but this was so inconvenient that iron goals appeared in 1898. The development of iron goals has been rap-1 id, and there are now several kinds on the market. In order to facilitate tfie recording of baskets, nets have been added to the iron hoops. This also encourages basket shooting. At first, a man in a basketball uniform resembled a football player; he wore shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, and oftentimes braces. Long trousers were also worn, but the development of the game has led to the adoption, of the present day uniform. (Next Article: The Progress of Basketball.) o RIDDLE KILLS DEER IN NEW MEXICO In a letter to his parents, Donovan Riddle states that he spent a few days hunting in the Mongolian mountains recently and* was successful in killing a deer.
