any intersectional play because col
leges had one set OF rules. high
schools had others and the same
was true Of the YMCA and AAU
branches throughout the country.
EARLY HISTORY
Basketball first was played with
seven men on q side. then nine.
then eight. Now 1t is five. At one
time the game consisted Of three
periods of 20 minute seach. Now IL
Is two OF twenty. At one time three
penalties constituted a point. Goals
which now count two points once
counted three. In other days. when
a foul was committed, the injured
team called upon a specialist foul
shooter. Under those rules a spec
ialist at Fordham once shot %
goals. Now the man fouled must
make the throw.
To get order out Of the chaos Of
conflicting rules a meeting was
held years ago involving representa-
tives Of the YMCA. colleges. high
schools. prep schools. the AAU and
other bodies. This joint committee
then and there standardized the
play for the entire world.

CHARGES
SAID UNFAIR
Annual Bleat Has Little
Effect on Veenker
OF Iowa State

AMES. Ia, Jan. 3. Up Charges
Of professionalism annually hurled
against college football by critics
get little response from George
Veenker. athletic director and head
coach at Iowa State college.
He says charges OF professional
ism against college athletes are, in
general, unjustifiable. and that the
situation Is better than in the past
and Is improving.
You can't play real football" he
said, IF your right halfback is won

ting a bigger pay check than he is.
On amateur teams all the boys will
fight to the last inch because they
know there isn't a highly paid star
who may knock off on a run after
he has delivered his yardage accord
ing TO the pay scale
II PROSECUTING Of athletes does in
crease - and Veenker does not be-
l.eve 1t will - he says the future
will see three types Of teams. the
bona fide student-athlete teams.
semi-pro teams, representing col
leges which permit PROSECUTING. and
real professional teams.
The student-athlete teams w1l
play each other he says, the pro-
fesSionals will play each other, and
the semi-pros be out in the cold
because there will not be enough
Of them TO provide schedules.
And anyway, the public will not
pay for semi-pro football. 1t wants
either straight amateur or real pro-
fesSional contests"

A quarter OF a century ago STAN
ley Ketchel, a young Polish bouncer
and waiter from Butte. Mont,
came within inches OF being the
worlds heavyweight champion.
Before Ketchel's figh, with Jack
johnson, at Colma, Cal, Oct. l6,
1909, 1t was whispered that 1t was
to be merely an exhibition, that ar
rangements had been made whereby
neither was TO attempt 70 knock
the other man out.
The bout, billed for ID rounds,
went along III a very gentlemanly
way until the twelfth round. john
son commended himself with fight
ing largely on defense, with an oe-
caSional flash of brilliance.
In the twelfth, Ketchel shifted
suddenly and whipped across a
right hand with every ounce Of his
power behind 1t Even Johnson,
master Of defensive style, could not
miss 1t. though he ducked and
caught the blow on the cheekoone.
The blow floored him. just a couple
Of inches lower and II must have
knocked him out. for Ketchel could
hit with terrific force.
AS II was, johnson rose. and as
he came up let go a straight right
that landed flush on KetcheIs
mouth, knocking him hallway
across the ring.
Ketchel was out for 10 minutes.
The legend persists in FIStiana that
when they cut of JohnsOn's glove
two OF Ketchcl's teeth were embed
ded in the leather.

AMERICAN GAME

While American football and
baseball have English cousins IN
rugby, soccer. FOUNDERS and cricket,
the American sporting public has
one game which it can claim in fee
simple-baSketball. It Is American
in conception. development and
execution, thanks in a big part 10
DR.. James A. Nalsmlth.
The game was originated in 1891
by DR.. NaiSmith when he was teach
ing IN the Y. NJ. G. A. at Spring
field. Mass. IL was created with the
hope that II would provide a form
Of health giving and muscle build
Ing exercise that was free from the
tedium OF ordinary gymnasium work.
How the old game has changed
Can YOU imagine an elderly gent
playing a furious basketball game
because dumb bell swinging proved
too tireSome? Under present condi-
tions. his diversion would be to-
ward rummy or checkers instead Of
toward the cage game.
There arc some who contend that
a sport similar TO basketball might
have existed in ancient times. This
Is based upon the finding among
Maya ruins Of a modest sized en-
closure which was a court. and
where hoops. much like those used
In the present game. were found at
tached rather high up on the walls
at each end Of the arena.

Athletic Association

CHICAGO, Jan. 3. PIN order
10 hazard a guess as 10 what l. IN
store for Us IN 1885 so far as col
lege athletics are concerned, II Is
necessary TO consider what has al
ready happened III 1884 as a basis
for future predictions.
The man Of the street measures
interest In a given sport by atten-
dance figures. This Is perhaps a
fair index 80 far as team games
are concerned but II Is not Satisfac-
tory when We are thinking OF games
such as golf. tennis, swimming,
hunting and fishing. These activities
just mentioned, however, arc not
primarily college sports. Tennis and
golf are growing very rapidly IN
the colleges. both as intercollegiate
and intramural sports. Swimming,
likewise. has become recognized as
O major intercollegiate sport acti-
witty. IL Is safe TO state that more
college students play tennis II
than take part IN football.
Golf. tennis, swimming, boxing. and
wrestling are on the increase as
judged by the numbers competing
and 1t is safe TO assume that they
will continue TO grow in the institu-
tionS Of higher learning.
We usually think OF football,
basketball, baseball and track as the
ma iDr college SDOrrS More hpyS
play football each year III the
schools and colleges than did the
year before. In 1885 we should see
an increase III player participation
in this great autumn sports. From
the standpoint of public interest
college football remains the great
American game.

dulles. bulks larger than the atten-
dance at any other games. This year.
for instance a number OF University

mated that the attendance this

at least ID per cent ahead OF the
