BASKETBALL POPULARITY GROWING
ATTENDANCE RECORDS SHATTERED

not much stronger. The next two
years. however. Michigan got into
basketball in earnest and the response
in attendance was surprising.
The Wolverines gymnasium, ter
years ago considered one of the finest
in the country was entirely too small
to accommodate the crowds that
wanted Il see the speedy and some,
times rough indoor game. The new
field house. with a 10000 seating ca
paclty. is expected 10 remedy the sit,
uation.
Iowa opened its new hrmory last
winter-built largely because of the
popularity of basketball. 1t is one Of
the finest build ngs of its kind, and
can accommodate 1000 for basketball.
Northwestern is finding that its gym
nasium, considered the last word in
athletic auditorlums when butt a few
years ago, is entirely too small. The
same situation prevails at Illinois and
Ohio. Chicago. Wisconsin, Purdue,
Indiana and Minnesota still are using
antiquated ~gymnasiums. large enough

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-By Tho .Asso-
ciated Press eBasketball has achieved
such popularity in the Western Con
ference that Officials today predicted
the attendance for the 1929 season
would exceed 1000. 900 fans. When
tine game was given al insignificant
start fifteen years go, only n hand
full of spectators turned out for the
contests.
While the game probably never will
outrival football as a college sport. It
is running the gr!diron game n close
second in the ten universities COM
" the Western Conference, and
it is far ahead of track and baseball,
both in attendance and interest. Gym
naslums built ten years ago are hope
lessly inadequate as crowds are turn
ed away at almost every basketball
game. -,
More thar 1000. 900 spectator will
watch the basketball games in West
ern Conference teams this winter
said Major John L. Griffith. commits
sioner of athletics today. "Thi great
winter game - rapidly growing in~in-
portance in the middle west. 1t Will
never attract the crowds that witness
the football games. eau 1t will
rever be possible to furnish indoor
recommendation for 40. 900 or $4,000
spectators.
In fact, the combined seating ca
paclty OF the ten basketball gs
in the conference in round numbers
is 40. 900. Ohio State, with accommo-
dattons for 1000. has the largest bas-
ketban crowds in the conference. Il
linois and Iowa seat five thousand.
Northwestern can take care OF four
thousand. Michigan is building a field
house that will seat 10 900 basketball
fans, and Minnesota IL raising money
to make possible an enlarged physical
education program which includes
basketball, both Intercollegiate and In
tramural."
The University of Michigan pre-
sents a typical example Of the wave Of
popularity in basketball as a college
sport in the middle west. The Wolver-
ines, up to 1917. never played the in
door game. Withdrawn from the
big Ten" the Wolverines maintain
ed an isolated position in sport and
were forced to Invade the east for
real competition in football. baseball
and track. Because eastern popular
ity of basketball is not so general n
because of the expense of travel,
Michigan had never played basket
ball.
When Michigan returned to the con-
ference. basketball was a major sport.

Gibson, as Tunney's manager, was
hailed as the individual who took the
wind out of "the windmill" as Greb
is characterized because of his rotat-
ing method OF boxing. By worrying
Greb before the battle and causing
him to be goaded by the Madison
Square Garden crowd, some think
Gibson caused the Pittsburgher to
lose much of his aggressiveness.
Most Of the newspaper critics,
nevertheless. asserted hat the cham
pion should not have e uncrowned
that at least he should nave been
given a draw. The crowd, the ma
Jority anti-Greb, greeted the decision
of the judges with mingled acclaim
and disapproval.

his left and absorbed a stif punch to
the ribs. o..
ROUND SEVEN-Greb set the
pace with a rushing attack to Tun-
ney's head and body. He opened a
light cut over the challenger's right

rights and lefts to the jaw. Tunney
seemed baffled by his rivals shifting
tactics.

challenger's head back with several

champion for a moment with one OF
the few sustained attacks he had
shown. The Plttsburgher came right

to the body. Greb pumelled his rival
about the head as the round closed.

RULLSEYES FIFTEEN MILES
AWAY.

1t is a disputed point among naval
officers whether it is worth while for
big guns to have a range in excess of
$4,000 yards, which is the limit Of
visibility at sea. To determine the
question, one of the new dread
naughts will fire her 16-inch guns
at a target at that distance If a
reasonable number of hits are regis
tered, the outcome of the test will
have an important bearing On the de-
c'sion Of congress- next winter in de-
tcrm.nlnE whether the gun ranges
on all our first-class battleships shall
be increased. The last congress ap-
propriated $6,5O0,O0O to make the
changes, but the money was not
spent. The new congress will review
the matter, and will have before il
the practical evidence of the forth
coming gun tests.
