SP MEN WHO WERE ATHLETIC STARS BRING F IVES HERE Kibler of Wa hmgton (ollege Which Plays Mary- land in One of Three Local Contests Tonight, and Stegeman of Geor, BY H. C. BYRD. Two of the basket ball teams that here for mes this week end ches versatility as hletes and as college mer tors is seldom excelled. Tom Kibler of Washington College and H. Stegeman of the University of Geor- gla are men who were stars in com- petition in four branches of athletics while in college and since then have coached four sports, although both now are speclalizing in basket ball, and both are dv\h\g exceptionally well. ‘Washington College plays here to- night at Maryland and tomorrow night at Catholic University, and Georgia comes here for a game to- morrow night with Maryland. 3 Both Kil and Stegeman bring their teams here for games that are a part of the busiest week end ever scheduled here in basket ball. Besides the three contests in which their teams are to figure, five other listed, making eight in all, three tonight and five tomorrow night Blue Ridge plays at Gallaudet to- night and Lebanon Valley at George- town. Tomorrew night, besides the Washington Colles U. and Geor- gla-Maryland contests, there are scheduled meetings between George- town and St. Joseph's of Philadelphia, George Washington and Villanova and American University and Blue Ridge. Both the men coaching Washing- ton College and Georgia are Western Conference products—IKibler from Ohio State and Stegeman from Chicago Both men took part in foot ball, base bafl, basket ball and track. Stege- man especlelly was a good quarter miler. Both are the types of men who stick wherever they go and both have been located at their present schools for years. Incidentally, Kibler and Stegeman have coached foot ball, base ball, basket ball and track at one time or another during their stay at Washington College and Georgia. While_coaching basket ball at Ohio State, Kibler won, four conference championships. The only reason that ‘Washington College retains Kibler's services is because the school is lo cated in his home town and he is engaged in a lucrattve coal, wood, icc and general feed business that keeps him there. University of Maryland three years ngo offered Kibler more than twice the .salary he gets at Washington College, but the offer could not be accepted. Both Kibler. and. Stegeman are fine fellows personally and games in which any teams of theirs take part will be clean amd® well played.

Weeks is a great little athlete and his favorite stunt to break down a sideline, take a pass and dribble in for a shot. He is an expert at this effective method of counting. Duncan was outfooted by Weeks when he would break, but when Weeks caught his pass and started his dribbling, the Missis- sippl guard handled his opponent by rushing at him from a slight angle, forcing Weeks to change his predetermined course—drib- bling into the court toward the basket, as shown in the upper illustration—and continue on down the sideline, as shown in the lower illustration. Duncan cov- ered Weeks so perfectly that the latter was unable to pass the ball to a teammate.

O-ORDINATED play and gen- eral athletic ability of players are the basic elements necessary for the wide popu- larity of any competitive game conducted by teams. Basket ball contains these elements and that is why it is sweeping the country today. Until the invention of the court game there was no indoor sport in any way comparable to foot ball and base bail as a genuinely athletic game. As a consequence the Winter season in schools, colleges and universities offered little or no outlets for the animal spirits of students either in the way of enthusiastic rooting or actual participation in thrilling exercise. Helps Calm Youth. Such a condition was not good; for ardent youth must express himself in some way. A Winter or two ago at a New Ingland college a professor who is greatly interested in under- graduate psychology told the writer that Winter barn-burnings and other manisfestations of youthful deviltry had markedly decreased at his insti- tution sipce basket ball had come into vogue as a popular intercollegiate game. When the writer first saw this game it was not rigidly bound by rules. Al- most any number of players could make up a team, sometimes as many as 50 on a side and seldom fewer than nine. The two sides lined up on op- posite ends of the court and rushed for the ball at the blowing of a whistle, In the course of time, however, the possibility of team play, always an American fetish, brought about the reduction of teams to nine men, a center forward, two other forwards, known as right and left wings, a cen- ter, two side centers and two guards. Rules Offer Problem. ‘Those who made the rules had the’ problem of maintaining a high com- petitive Interest and yet safeguarding players from injuries which would at- tend rough work on the hard floors. Thus, one of the first rules made it illegal to run with the ball. This re- moved the necessity for tackling. An- other rule permitted the ball, a soccer foot ball in the early days of the game, to be batted or passed in any direction. As the game developed it was seen that the barring of tackling alone was not sufficient to keep players from being injured, sometimes seriously. Close guarding and personal contact always gave the rule makers concern and through the years regulations have constantly been modified to elimi- nate this type of roughne: In this respect there is some discrepancy as between methods employed in the vari. ous sections of the country, but the difference is less great than it used to be. Yale Is Pioneer. It would appear that Yale organized the first representative college five, back in 1892, the year after Dr. Nai- smith had invented the game at the Springfleld Training School. Next ear Cornell and the University of Chicago put forth teams, but it was not until 1901 that Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Yale organ- d the first intercollegiate basket ball association.
