port is as follows:

definite date has not been settled, but

Basketball is unique in that it is a
product of necessity, having been in
vented about 90 years ago in the Young

school, Springfield, Mass, to supply a
definite need for competitive indoor
winter work The game requires
speed, skill, aggressiveness, endurance
and team work
The picking of a team depends upon
the available material. Every team
needs good center, who should be
rangy and a good jumper, for upon him
more than any other player, depends
the success of the team. The plays are
built around the leaping ability of the
center. If he is a good Jumper he can
direct the ball to any member of his
team on the jump off-an essential fac
tor in the development of team play
by signal. This is an advantage, be-
cause it puts the opposition On the
defensive.
On the center falls the brunt of
