However, It can be easily over

furious rather than beneficial.
Too many basketball games played
In a week or in a year have a detri-
mental effect on the physique OF an
athlete.
The big mistake in basketball as a
sport comes In early youth. Most OF
the high schools and amateur teams
play a schedule that is entirely too
long
A great many Of the high schools
start the basketball season about
November /. and do not end It until
around the first OF April.
During a recent meeting OF prom
inent western coaches, figures com
piled by freshman medical examin-
ers. showed that a great many OF
the freshman athletes are suffering
from enlarged or athletic hearts.
Basketball is more strenuous than
football. baseball. track or tennis
More athletic hearts have been dis
covered among college freshman
basketball players than all other
branches OF sport combined.
Long basketball schedules unques-
tionably burn out the player be-
fore he is safely through his youth
