But the most marked was in the case of the crews. Eighteen crews were kept together on the river throughout the whole rowing season.

The reason for this precaution is obvious. It is pa- thetic to note the harm that results from a neglect of this. Only in this way can you tell whether or not you are physically sound and able to indulge in this strenuous sport. This is especially so if you are under twenty years of age, for then there is greater danger of injuring the heart. Basket ball will build up a I:{oy who is physically; fit—if he trains faithfully and is not permitted to overwork. Many inexperienced coaches work_their players too much by making the practice too long, too hard and by holding too many sessions. More teams are overtrained than are undertrained. It is difficult for a coach to rec- ognize when he should ease up on the workouts. But when players have gained good physical condi- tion and have skill the practices should be cut down. Schedules should be so arranged as to permit of a layoff during the season. Q. Has the home team the right to insist on the visiting team tak- ing a certain basket? A.
