Excerpt from Basket Ball for Beginners The first impression a beginner has on coming on the basket ball court is the vastness of the court and the height of the baskets. He secures possession of the ball and tries to shoot a basket. With an under handed throw, standing a short distance away, he makes a trial throw. It seems to be a difficult thing to do. If other players are on the floor he proceeds to learn by imita tion. An experienced player can very easily give the beginner the wrong start. He dashes at the ball, picks it up on the go, jumps, and throws for the basket in his own individual style. Sometimes using english or a twist on the ball, and other times he does not. The beginner tries to do the same way. But in his throw, the jump, the speed, and the throw will be too strong and high. Unless corrected it will take him many, many tries, and sometimes days, before he will cage the ball. The men will be traveling a circle, each taking a turn 'at throwing for the basket, the rotary motion, his place in line, and the speed displayed, will cause the beginner to get the wrong methods.
