New York. Dec. 25--When Harry
Elionsky wants to take some real
strenuous exercise. il that time ever
comes. he probably will arrange to
have the Flatiron Building strapped
to his back and swim across the At
lantic Ocean. For Elionsky considers
a few miles all bound up in shackles.
straightjscketsa and leg irons.
His latest midwinter swimming
stunt was done during the blizzard
two weeks ago. one of the worst win
ter storms that has visited New York
in years. While the snow and sleet
was being pelted against the windows
by a seventy-mile gale. and most of
New York was cozily enconced as
near the steam radiators and open
crate fires as possible. Elionsky went
to the water front at the Battery. Tn
der his street clothes he had thin
bathing suit, and he stripped down to
this in a jiny.
Then. after rolling around in the
snow and indulging in some deep
breathing exercises, he permitted him
self to be bound in straitjacket
and submitted to handouts and ankle
irons. Rugged out like a raving in
mate OF Bellevue Hospitals insane OBJ

the water for one of his long swims
After padding around for a mile or
two he WAS fshed out. and after he
had dressed he said he had never felt

MORAN SUBSTITUTED
FOR FRED FULTON

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 25.-Frank Moran.
Pittsburgh's heavyweight received an un-
expected Christmas gift here today In
the shape of the news that he was to
be substituted for Fred Fulton as Jess
Willard's opponent in the 2o-round cham
pionship bout on March 4 at New Orleans
Moran had slipped away from his train
ing quarters in Westchester County. n.
Y, where he was hard at work for his
fight January z, at Madison Square Gar
den. New York with Jim Coffey. TO spend
Christmas day with members of his fam
ily here.
The Willard offer will not make the
slightest difference in his plans to meet
Jim Coffeey. Moran fairly oozes con-
fidence in his ability to put Coffey's
claims for preferment to sleep and de-
clared tonight before departing for West
chester to resume training while '.tickled
to death at the opportunity to meet
Willard. he wanted first to make his title
clear by cleaning up on Coffey.

By JACK HAAS.

! The game of basketball originated
| over twenty-five years ago. 1t was
| invented to satisfy the need of team
| competition under indoor conditions In
which large numbers of relatively
| unframed people could take part. The
majority of games that were being
played prior to basketball failed to
achieve any great influence. nor did
they gain any wide popularity.
All of our standard games are the
result of a gradual evolution and
have developed because they possess
ed those qualities that appeal strongly
to play or the fighting spirit The
demands for special skill. speed and
strategy that is required in those who
indulge in baseball aud football. are
great factors in the real pleasure and
interest that accompany the playing
or watching Of these games. and are
in large measure responsible for
their development and wide popular
ity.
Until the invention of basket ball
there was no indoor game that was
in any way comparable to baseball
and football in these respects. The
need for an indoor game that could
be used by active, sturdy men was
keenly realized by the faculty of the
Y. NJ. c. A. Training School at Spring
field. Mass. DR.. James A. Naismith.
now a member of the Collegiate Bas-
ket-baIl Committee, was an instructor
at this school in 1891 and undertook
to devise an indoor game which
should satisfy these general specifica-
tions.
Basketball in its FIRST form was very
simple in Its plan and technique. 1t
was designed to be played by as
many as could occupy the playing
space, nine to fifty players on each
side.
1t soon became apparent that too
many players in a game hindered the
development of team work; so after
a time the number of players on
team was reduced to nine. little
later. about 1894, the number of play
ers on the teams was determined by
the area of the floor on which the
game was played.
For the first year or two, at the
start of the game, the men were lined
up at the opposite ends of the field
and rushed for the ball when it was
tossed by the official into the middle
of the playing space. This was modi-
fed in 1894 SO that the ball was toss
ed up in the middle of the field ana
had to be touched by the center men.
to make the play legal.
good qualities of the game were rec
ognixed by Miss Berenson. the direc-
tor of physical training at Smith Col
lege, and she introduced 1t as a part
of the gymnasium work for girls. In
order to lessen the physical strain.
which was found to be too severe for
girls playing the mems rules, the
floor was divided into three sections
by lines running across the field at
right angles to the side lines. The
centers (the girls teams under these
rules. which are essentially unchanged
today, have two centers). the two
guards. and the two forwards. are re-
stricted to their own sections of the
floor. 80 that the players in q given
section have an opportunity to get .
BREATHING spell when the ball IL ~
any other part of the field. This de-
vice not only made the game less
strenuous but also favored the de-
velopmsnt OF team play.

New York, Dec. 25.-Battling Levinsky
scored his annual victory over Jim Flynn,
the Pueblo fireman, at the Broadway
Sporting Club this afternoon. Levinsky
outboxed Flynn in every one of the ten
rounds. At no time did Flynn show any
thing but his vaunted aggressiveness.
= Levinsky simply toyed with his more
rugged adversary. Flynn outweighed the
Battler by thirteen pounds, but this
weight advantage did not help Flynn, ex-
cept in the clinches. which were few.
Flynn weighed 1872 pounds.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. S.-E. Q. Oil

Eastern followers Of college athletics
may not know 1t. but oliphant was re-
garded as one of the best athletes in the
Middle West before he entered the Mill

sport he tackled at Purdue and life

There are 100 men today who have won

Oiphant won his first letter at basket

Cadet pitcher. and took his second letter

hurdler at West Point in the spring and
with but little training he ran the 10

He also fought in the heavyweight
boxing championship. but was outpointed
by Bob Neyland, the champion Had he
won this bout he could not have secured

Oliphant was trained by Andy Smith.

WHITING IS AGAIN
BEATEN BY DONNELLY

Carroll Donnelly. the Southern roller
skating champion, again showed his
heels to Billy Whiting, of the Grand
Central Coliseum Rink, last night. when
he finished in front in a three-mile event.
Although beaten, Whiting pushed the To-
cal skater all the distance, and it was
not until the final half mile that Dom
nelly got out in front 10 stay.
Donnelly took the lead on the getaway,
but after one lap Whiting forged ahead.
and he held this position for over two
miles, when the champion breezed to the
front, never TO be headed. The time
made of $40 Is considered exceptionally
fast for this track.
The Washington herald., 1915-12-26

that time has been a dead issue. Am
ateur leagues have been organized
but had to be abandoned for the rea-
son that there was not enough inter-
est taken to maintain the sport. This
was partly caused by the very tame
rules under which the amateur game
was played.
The game this season is taking on
new lease OF life. Every hall that
can be obtained Is now being used by
leagues and independent teams. Under
the new rules. IL they are strictly ad-
hered to. the game should be much
faster and more cleanly played.
Although the girls game had been
played since 1894, not nuch had been
heard OF these contests, especially in
the District, until the organization OF
the Ingram Memorial Church girls
team IN the fall of 1910. The game
became greatly advertised because Of
the much-taiked-of success OF the In
gram girls who in the season OF 1910
IL. and in 19l2-lS played forty-fve
games, OF which forty-three were VIC
tories. The team was conceded the
championship of the South in the
above seasons having defeated every
team of any note.
Goucher College, of Baltimore; Ma
tional Park Seminary, at Forest Glen,
Maryland: George Washington Univer-
sity and Ingram Church have very
formidable teams, although the In
gram girls are not nearly as strong
as In the two seasons in which they
won the championship.
There are a half dozen leagues in
the District that are bound to be sue

at the Arcade.
The George Washington Frat"
Sunday School. y. NJ. c. A., and Noel
House Leagues have been playing for
some time, and are having great sue
cess.
There are two important factors in
regard to basketball in the District,
that II promoted will make it most
popular. One is. that the officers of
the Arcade where the best floor and
also the greatest seating capacity Is
located. install a cage. The way the
playing floor Is located now at the
Arcade. there Is so much t-of-bound
space that the game is slowed I'D con-
siderably. By having a cage. the game
will be SO or so per cent faster. The
faster the game. the more enthusiasm
will be created. and a larger attend
ance at the games is assured
The second is this. that Georgetown
and Catholic universities patch I'D
their differences by next season. ana
the formation of a District CoIlegiate
Basketball League with Georgetown,
Catholic and George Washington uni
versities. Gallaulet College and two
outside colleges. near by. possibly
Loyola, of Baltimore. and st. Johns, of
Annapolis. This would make a mighty
strong organization and the city
would go wild with excitement and
enthusiasm. This matter should be
thought over this season SO that
everything will be ready for the next
