Abreast of
The News
An American Sport, Devised With
out Precedent by an American,
and the Cleanest of Them All.
g |
By VICTOR VICTOR. ‘
Atlanta owes a debt of gratitude
to the Atlanta Athletic Club, and to
any othar force or forces whioch may
have been instrumental in bringing
the national baskotball tournament,
now in progress at the Auditorfum-
Armory, ‘e this city.
The eévent is the biggest thing of its
kind thet has yet taken place One
of the otficials, down here from New
|Yo(~k 10 gerve 1n the contest, ve
marked Thursday: “This Is a won
derful thing for Atlanta.”
This ibecause it has focused the
eyes of the oountry upon this city
as ap enthusiastip friend of clean
spert. Basketball |8 the cleanest, as
yet, e all the great American games.
No taint of professionalism Flas
touched it. Its rules are sterner tnan
any ethers In their demand for white
sportsmanship. As though the nu
merous detailed rules defining fouls
waere not enough, it is set down specif
ieally in the regulations that a team
shall be penalized for “using any un
sportsmanlike tactics not spacifically |
mentioned herein,” er if any player
shall “in any way conduct himself
in an unsportsmanlike manner.”
It is seldem that these blanket rules
are inviied by a referee. Among
those who play the game today, it is
entirely unneocessary. Basketball is
s gentleman’'s game--not a wealthy
gentleman's game like golf—but a
game in which ene who is not a gen
tleman, as well a 8 an exceptional ath
lats, does not last long.
PUBLIC INTEREST,
The public interest in the gama, ag
A field of intercolleglate and inter
¢lub competition, and as a delightful
antertainment for spectators, has
grown by leaps and bounds within
the past few years; and yet, in that
respect, the game {8 just at the be
ginning of its progress to its rightful
place. This Atlanta tournament is
an acknowledged landmark, and it is
pretty certain to occupy limportant
space in every big newspaper in the
country, from Seattle to Key West.
As a spectator's sport, basketball
already ranks next to baseball and
football with the American public.
But it 18 ag a player's sport that it
very likely ranks first., It is alto
gether probable that it is played to
day by more devotees than any ather
one game. It is undoubtedly the fa
vorite of all indoor games in gymna
siums throughout the country, and
it is rapidly becoming the most pop
ular of playgreund sports for boys and
girls. Thig is not only due to the
fascination that rests in the play and
its acknowledged position as a force
for physical development, but to the
fact that the game can be playea
under less specialized conditions and
with less expensive equipment than
almost any other form of team play
yvet devised. Volleyball is perhaps its
only equal in this latter regard, and
volleyball,” while more suitable -for
older people because it is less strénu
ous, is by no means the thrilling
’conte;t of speed, accuracy and en
durance that basketball is.
As a playground sport, tennis re
quires individual possession of more
or less expensive equipment and a
‘plot of ground especially prepare
and kept in condition only with ex
pense and labor., Baseball requires
large spaces which are growing less
and less avalilable for playground pur
poses in our large cities. Golf is en
tirely a rich man’s game.
But given any plot of ground of
reasonable dimensions and fairly
level, or any space indoors, the di
mensions of which are not less than
35 by 60 feet; stick up a pair of in
saxpensive and practically indestructi
ble uprights at the ends, with a
couple of iron hoops attached, and
you have a basketball court.
COMPLETELY AMERICAN.
* The game is the most distinetively
American of all sports. A?d it is
unique in the fact that, unlike any
other game which has attained such
tremendous popularity, it i 8 not an
evolution from other games, but
sprang full-fledged, without prece
dent, and practically in its present
form, from the brain of an American
originator.
In 1801, one James Naismith, now
physical director of the department
of physical training_in the Univer
sity of Kansas, was both a student,
and a member of the facuity of the
Y. M. C. A. Training School lin
Springfield, Mass. There, in a psy
chology class one day, one of his
teachers put a hypothetical problem
to the students. They were to devise
an ideal game.
The conditions outlined were: It

Says Males Have Degenerated as
Result of Ascendancy Gained
by Women,
(By Universal Service.)
CHICAGO, March 11.~—The male
of tge human epecies has degenerated
as a result of the ascendency gained‘
by women in national affairs, uc-{
cording to Dr. William J. Hickson,
head of the Chicago Psychopathic
Labortary and Intemtionn.l_ly/ famous
as a psychopathologist. The war and
the reform wave which is sweeping
the country, in the opinion of Dec
tor Hickson, have made women the
masters of men, undermining thelr
physical and mental virility.
“The war brought women to the
front,” explajned Doector Hicksan.
“It emancipated them in a way. They
stepped into responsible posgitiens,
They were practically the backbone
of the war hysteria. It was the
women who yelled Joudest for killing.
They servéd on committees in uni
form& They teok up smoking and
fell into maseuline ways psycholo
gically.
GOT DORP ON MEN.
“The result is that women have
secured the drop on men in this eoun
try. - The reforms being conducted are
beéing inspired usually by women.
These reforms aim at one thing—to
put upon man the same reéstrictions
under which woman has been func
tioning for a century.
“Prohibition is typical of the mod
érn puritan mania. The church
movements are also typical. They,
with prohibition, with so-called high
standards of morality, result in a
reterioration of masculine physical
and mental virility, a falling off of
creatjve ability of the birthrate—the
l?tter already noticeable.
“American pep, which was the re
sult of a masculine dominated coun
try, will soon Be a thing of the past.
With the collapse of the male ascend
ancy in this country we can look for
ward to a nation of degeneration.
“The effeminization of man is al
ready to be observed and studied
scientifically in America. This is al
ways a running mate with puritan
ism.
DECADENCE SEEN.
“The suppression of sex in America
will ultimately have its harvest in a
decadence—a phenomenon already | e
ginning. The male today is inferior
in most respects to' the female. He
is aping her in the matter of clothes
-—wearing tight fitting, skirted coats.
He bows to her legislation and vague
ly whoops it up for her reforms. He
{s fast taking second place, and with
his fall there is no question that
production in the United States, men
tal and material, will decline. In
fact, the present decline in produc
tion is as much due to the decline In
the male as to other economic con
ditions.
“In Germany, the national vigor
was brokn down as much by the war
as anything else. Women seelr.ingly
'wanted thi swar more than men.
‘Whether they instinctively felt in it
!an oportunity to gain supremacy as
'a sex is a matter for debate. But
they have, in America, achieved their
purpose. The average American home
today is dominated by a woman. Ouh
ideas of right and wrong are effemi
nate,
“Our politics is a form of effemi
nate idealism. An inversién is obvi
ously taking place and there is no
‘way to stop it. The nation has ap
parently put its head in a noose of
puritanism and the degeneration of
individual and national fiber is in
evitable.”

must be playable both indoors and
out, it must be equally available for
men and women, it must develop
every muscle in the body, it must
furnish an endléss field for the de
velopmeént of skill and science, but
must yet be so simple that a group
given the rules in five minutes could
&0 out on the gymnasium floor and
play it successfully without further
instruction, and it must be so fasci
nating to players that it would de
velop devotees which no other form
of physical training could reach. Such
4 game did not yet exist.
‘Young Naismith set to work de
liberately and evolved “basketball,”
The game not only fulfilled all of
the professor's conditions, but 1t
possessed one other supreme quality
which hdad not been counted upon. In
the hands of skilful players, it became
a thing of beauty and of absorbing
excitement to spectators.
The rules have grown much more
;compllco;od, but they have not
changed in principle since Nalsmith
put them into praetice in his Spring
field classes in 1892, Nalsmith even
evolved, after a few experiments with
l;ll sorts of balls, hard and soft, the
‘fnrm and kind of sphere which s
used today.
As early as 1894, basketball had
reached Parie, France and Melbourne,
Australia. Today it is played through
out the world, from Uruguay to India.
But America Is its home, and
cherished by lovers of true sport, like
our Athletic Club friends, it is mak
fng strides such as no new form
of team play has ever made before.
