under consideration an educational cam

To improve mis- jumping ability
the center of a basket ball team
should practice springing, stretching
and reaching. This may be done by
exercises that approximate game
conditions. Have some one throw
the ball up and try to time the di-
rection and the height of it. An
erect position is best, the touching
hand about level with the shoulder.
Spring from the floor, stretch and
reach as high as it is necessary to
touch the ball on its downward
course. Timing and precision are
essential. The arm should be we'll
extended and the ball detected with
the fingers, the wrist and forearm
employing a rotary motion. 1t is
necessary to watch any peculiarity
of the official when the ball is tossed
upward. The center must not touch
the ball on its upward course, as
this is illegal.
