Herman Goldstein, sage chronicler of basket ball and other sports in the Buckeye, State. reports that very inter- ting discoveries are made as a resuit this device. It has been found. for instance. that most players have defi- nite tendencies in shooting and seldom depart from them. Or if they have no strong bent, the checking shows wherein they are successful and wherein they fail. Of one man it was shown that he missed practically every shot he made from the left of the basket, but that a majority of his shots from the right <ide dropped into the cage. Another player was found never to shoot until close to the goal. Information of tr sort is valuable not only in giving & coach a line upon the shooting abill of the men, but permits him to build based upon what his players can do best.
