The game soon spread over Am- erica and to other countries. It is now one of the best liked and most important winter sport. It is most popular in the colleges,universities and high schools. The game calls for the most intensive co- operation of all the players. The equipment for playing the game is a playing floor,rectangular in shape,and of smooth surface. its dimensions should be maximum of 94 by SO feet and minimum of 60 by 55 feet. However many teams play on floors of less than the minimum space. A backboard with dimensions of six feet horizontal and four feet vertically is located two feet inside the playing floor, and nine feet up. The basket is an open hammock net suspended from the backboard on a metal ring which must be sixteen in- ches from the rigid surface to which it is fastened. The basket is placed ten feet above the level of the floor. The ball is round,measuring 50 to 51 in inches in circumference and weighing 20 to 22 ounces. It is made of a rubber blad- der in a leather case tightly inflated to a pressure of about hirteen pounds. There are five players on a team. They are right and left forwards,center,and right and left guards. The object of the game is to see how many baskets each tear can make in the allotted time. Two points are scored for each basket from the floor and one point for ach baskte made from thu free throw line. A game consists of two ha halves which is each divide into two quaf ters consisting of six,seven,or eight min- utes. There is a ten minute intermission between halves.
