Dean Mana University The Progress of Basketball Although comparatively new, basketball has progressed so rapidly as to be as the second major school sport. In basketball, more than any other sport, the people are able to enjoy the speedy action of the players for they are much nearer them than they are in any other game. Gymnasiums with seating capacities of from 4,(XX) to 5,000, have been built in the larger Indiana towns to satisfy the great demand for seats. In college basketball the demand for seating capacity has been so great that it was necessary to build field houses with seating capacities of from 8,000 to 15,(MX). In order to regulate schedules and tournament plays a state High School Athletic Association has been formed putting High

school basketball in a stronger position than it has ever been Itefore. In the Big Ten conference the coaches have been using the round robin schedule system for the last few years, so Conference teams play all other teams two mt of three years. Officiating is now on a higher plane than it has ever been before. Since basketball is the aardest game to officiate, competent officials are required. To insure getting competent men, and to standardize officiating, schools for officials have been veld during the last few years. )ne of the first official schools n the west was conducted by the Indiana University Athletic Dejartment under the direction of L G. Clevenger. SCHOOL WINS FOUR ‘ BASKETBALL GAMES DURING PAST WEEK The high school boys have won four victories in basketball this past week. Two games played against Millersburg, at Millersburg, last Wednesday night, ended with the first team victors, 26-13; and the second team winners, 11-8. Friday night’s game on the home floor, against the two cage teams from Bristol, ended with the first team winning its game, 34-14, and the second team its game, 43-6. Shock, playing left forward, caged the first basket, in the main game, against Bristol, and followed it with enough baskets to make him heavy scorer for the game. His points were 13. Others scored: Robison, 5 points; Lepper, 6; Connolly, 4; Leacock, 2; Lung, 4; Nicodemus, Bitner and Jones also played. Syracuse rooters as well as his home support were interested in Haas, Bristol Center, who played the game with his nose protected by a nose guard. It was later learned that he had been in an auto wreck last October, and a piece of glass from the windshield had cut through his nose and lodged in the roof of his mouth. It had been though necessary to operate, but about three weeks after the accident, during a fit of coughing, the glass was dislodged. He did not get back into the game until two weeks ago but even with his nose guarded, was in the thick of things every play Friday night. In the game between second teams, Bitner caged the first basket, and Lung was heavy scorer for his team, with 11 points. When the score reached 30-2 in the last half, almost an entire new team was sent in, to play Bristol to a 43-6 finish. Second team’s scoring was:

Out in the University of Nebraska, it has been discovered that by fixing it so that the cows look out of cow barns through blue-tinted glasses, they give more milk.
