ELIMINATION OF THE CENTER JUMP IN BASKETBALL
One of the major changes in the
rules of basketball this year was the
elimination of the center jump. James
Naismith, inventor of the game, be
lieves that this rule will increase
game attendance because of the possi
bility of the weaker team’s chances
for scoring, which will make the game
faster and more exciting for the spec
tators.
There is no doubt that the new
rule will offer more excitement for
the basketball fans, but it is very in
jurious to the players. Mothers and
fathers who shudder each fall as their
sons risk their necks and limbs on
the football field for the glory of their
dear old Alma Mater now are face to
face with a post-season worry that
threatens to be worse than the origi
nal, which is college basketball minus
the center jump.
Elimination of the center jump has
turned the once ladylike game Into
the hardest, cruelest, most tiring game
in sport. It is not hard on the large
college teams which have plenty of
capable reserves on hand, but the
small schools which have a compara
tively small squad, will find the con
tinuous running, twisting and chasing,
a big handicap from the lack of sub
stitutes for the tired and wornout
players—M. A. Dixon.
