Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spalding's Official Collegiate Basket Ball Guide, 1913-1914: Basket Ball Rules as Revised and Recommended by the Rules Committee of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States It was not the writer's good fortune to see the Wesleyan team in action last season, but as it is to be covered elsewhere in the Rule Book, there is no doubt that the Splendid record made by the Middletown boys will get due exploitation. It is proper, however, right here to announce that a league made up of Williams, Wesleyan, Union and Colgate has been formed, with F. B. Cawley of Wesleyan University as president, and A. K. Leonard of Colgate, as secretary-treasurer. This is the begin ning of what should prove to be a strong league. The quality of basket ball displayed by these teams is every bit as good as that played by the existing league, and some people consider it even better. In Pennsylvania, Lehigh undoubtedly earned the honors, defeating Swarthmore - always a strong team - twice, and Penn sylvania once, catching the Philadelphia team in the first game of the season. It is also gratifying to learn that there will also be a Penn sylvania State league next year. This will have three divisions, and the winners of the divisions will play off a series for the championship of the State in late February or early March. In the Eastern division will be Franklin and Marshall, Swarth more and Lehigh. The Central division will be made up of Bucknell, Gettysburg, Susquehanna and Albright. The Western division will be made up of Washington and Jefferson, State College of Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh. The formation of this league will undoubtedly give great impetus to the game in Pennsylvania. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
