It mav surmise you to know that in the chamnion- ship tournaments in Porto Rlco they will have as many as 4000 spectators Re‘asons f6: Popularity The thrill to the spectator is in seeing the ball in constant motion, trolnq‘ back and forth over the net. The thrill in the game to the player is when he “kills” the ball by hitting it over the net so that the onnonents cannot prevent it from touching the floor. A “point” is scored when the team receiving fails to return the ball leg- ‘allv to the onponents' court. “Side Out” is called when the team serving fails to win its point or plays the ball illegally. The ball is “dead” after “point,” “side out" or any other derision temporarily suspending play. A game is won when either team scores a two point lead with fifteen or more points. A match consists of the best two out of three games. Af- ter the service, each team may play the ball three times in returning it into the opponents! court, but the same player cannot hit the ball twicei in succession. A “service” is the putting of the ball in play by the player in the “Right Back” position, by batting it over the net into the opponents’ court in any direction with one hand (open or closed) and while in a po- sition with both feet wholly behind the right one-third of the back line of the court. ounces. It is a little smaller, and less than one-half the weight of a hasketball. Six players make a teem. Each team plays on its own court with the net separating the two teams. The game is played by batting- the ball with the hands back and forth over the net, the object being to pre- vent the ball from touching the floor within your ,own court The playing court is 60 feet long and 30 feet wide, divided into two squares of 30 feet each by a net similar to a tennis net which is stretched tightly across the court. The top of the net is 8 feet from the ground. The game is played with a round leather ball, inflated with a rubber bladder. It is 26 or 27 inches in circumference and weighs 9 or 10 joyment from the standpoint of spectators. In recent years there has been a ; marked improvement in the technique l i of what is known as “intensive volley ball” which has proven that the skill 3 and technique of the game may be developed without limits. This ac- counts for the growing appeal of the game among our most active and athletic types of young men, many of whom now prefer volley ball to any of the other major sports. Volley ballis perhaps the most adaptable of all our sports, in that it may be played under widely varying con- ditions-on playgrounds, in industrial plants, in open play spaces, in rural communities, and in the gymnasium. The singles and doubles variations of the official game are being played with keen interest in certain sections of the country. In other places, the novelty of the game is being added to by combinations of teams composed entirely. of fathers or sons or mothâ€" ers or daughters. Teams composed of members of one family, including both parents and children, are also adding to the sociability of the game in some communities. Volley ball is without question destined to become one of the most popular, beneficial, univer- sal sports. The game may be played primarily as a social activity or may be highly competitive, thus satisfying a wide range of desires from this standpoint. The fact that the c0urt, is relatively small and the ball is in constant view, and that spectators may sit close to the playing court, are fea- tures that add greatly to the en- Volley Ball has made a progressive development since its introduction by {he Y.M.C.A. in 1895. No other game has spread throughout; the world in such a short time. It is equally en- joyed by and beneficial to young and old of both sexes. It requires simple equipment and can be played indoors or outâ€"ofâ€"doors, and may therefore be played the whole year round. From the hygienic standpoint it is one of our most healthful pastimes because of the fact that the pace can be varied to suit the participants and there is a wholesome balance between‘ attack and defense, affording an in- terplay of activity and rest. The absence of bodily contact between op- ponents minimizes injury, while the fact that the opposing teams are in close proximity and facing each other adds to the soaiability and zest of play. from the standpoint of THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO By John Brown, Jr., MD. Secretary of Physical Education National Council of Young Men’s Developments in Volley m When the serving side serves the ball over the net the opposing team has three chances to return the ball; 1that is, three contacts are allowed. In the Orient they have this exception that if a ball being played by a team goes into the net they permit that side then to have four contacts to return the ball into their opponent’s court; they think that speeds up the game. It is important to remember that only the serving side scores. Essential Rules of Play There is no such thing as a net ball in volley ball. It is good to re- member that. It the server hits the net, it is “side out.” There 'is no assist in volley ball in service. The man serving must hat a clean ball into the opponent’s court. The best team play consists in the combination that takes place in the passing between the players of the same team before they decide to re- turn the ball back into their oppon- ent’s court. The spiker or killer is a tall, lithe, supple, athletic type who can get his jump, and who has the reach and can handle himself in the air and drive the ball from a position well over the net down into the opponent’s court; but our defense players in the main are shorter men, many of them quite stocky in build. Except in an emer- gency these men never return a ball over the net. e The reason for the appeal to those _ who play the intensive game is that a it is essentially a team game. Int 1 intensive volley ball it is a crime E practically for a man to return the 7 ball immediatey it has been received I over the net from the other side. The 3 system of playing practiced by good! 3 teams is that a backline player re-i ceives the ball, batting it with two‘ hands, and placing it very carefully I in what we call the pass to a forward _ line player. This second player, ,- however, is not to return the ball over i the net, but he in turn from his : frontline position is to make what we speak of as the “setup,” putting the ball high in ,the air in a line parallel with but about one foot back" from the net in such a position that ' a third man can make the kill shot. He is facing the man who is making 1 the setup and with a run gets a rise 1 from a jump so that his hand is above 1 the eight foot level at the top of the w net, and as the ball comes down in perfect positions for him, he bakes 5 a swinging sweep and strikes the ball i forcibly into the clear position in which he intends it to strike the floor. He drives the ball doWn with tremendous force into the opponent’s! mod-HM court, close to the net or well back into the court, depending upon the formation of the opposing team. I Skill in Defense The next‘phase of volley ball to be considered is the defense. You will perceive that the other team that has served the ball now is waiting for- it to be played back to them in this three-man contact. Contrary to the prevailing opinion it is just as im- portant for a balanced team to have strong defense players as it is for them to have good attack players. Now if you were to study the makeup of our best national dhampionship teams you would find that they are n fairly evenly balanced between what fl we call “spikers” or “killers” and “re~ n‘ ceivers” or “setup” men. Iis prU‘SSi-gFQ-NOHFT‘N S'I‘fiE'.

The reason for the appeal to those‘ It is actually true that in many cases now young fellows of our fore- most athletic type who have been basketball fiends now prefer volley ball. I wish you could see our National U. S. Volley Ball Champion- ships in which We have only state winners or runners-up participating. We have an average of about sixteen teams annually. The average age of the winning teams for the last several years has been about twenty-one? years. They are athletic types of‘ individuals. ‘ on.

In the Far Eas- tern Olympic Games, in which volley ball is included, they had as many as 40,000 spectators in stadia espec- ially erected for the purpose to wit- ness the volley ball games, even while the other Olympic events were going for a few minutes‘ re- From this it will be seen a game is properly play- our best players, it is nuws 01' cnest, but usuallv the ball is hit with the hands. Ordinarily. the ball is plaved by striking- it with the open hands simultaneously. A sim- ultaneous double contact is not allowâ€" Perhans the most difficult point to administer, certainly to those who are ‘not familiar with the game, is the matter of holding or scooping the ball.

But for this prohibition, a lnlayer in the back line position who is a good spiker could come forward and assume a strategic position at the_net as soon as the ball is served and remain in this position until his teammates set the ball up for him for a kill shot. According to this prin- ciple of rotation every player becomesl a server in his owner turn Another thing that is quite im- portant in this connection is this. a backline player cannot come to the net and make a kill shot under any circumstances. If because of thei nature of the play it is necessary for! the backline man to run forward to; recover the ball and get it over the! net he may do that. He may come! up and play the ball over the net, but not by making what we call a kill shot. You see the reason for that again is to maintain the principle which underlies the practice of ro- tation, namely, that every man shall nlay his own relative pesition on the floor. But for this prohibition, a nlayer in the back line nosifinn “Hun as they wish, depending upon the! play, but no player in the course of the game is ever allowed to inter- change his relative position withl another player. of the game and the technique of it in a wonderful way. It prevents a team having a man who plays one position, and one position only. It makes them all play all positions. It makes for a more balanced and keen- er competition than on the old basis where they took their fixed positions. This is the intensive garile I am 3 speaking of. After the ball is put a into play, these players move around 9 When this side which is serving loses its service, the ball then goes to the other side for service, and when the service changes all players rotate one position clockwise so that each time the opposing team is put out and the ball comes to your side for service every player moves to the next position, and in the course of the game every man plays every position, and that has speeded up the science I should mention the principle of rotation because it is exceedingly important. There are no markings on the floor other than those which I have indicated; however, for purposes of taking positions of players each court is divided into six imaginery areas, three front and three back. When the ball is put into play by the server, each player on each team, with the exception of the server who is in the serving position, must be in his own relative position on the court. This is your right forward. centre forward, left forward. Here is your right back. your centre back, and here your left back. -tu1‘n the ball the serving side scores a point but if, in the course of the ball being vollied back and forth over the net, the serving side fails to re- ‘turn the ball into its opponent's court, the opponents do not score a ‘point but the serving side is declared “out.” After “side out" the service goes to the other team. For instance, if Team A is serving, Team A scores a point if Team B fails to return the ball. In this sense it is a little difâ€" ferent from other games. You al- ways have to know which side has served in order to know whether a point has been scored or whether it is a “side out.” V There are a lot of fine points in the game. They are all contained in the rules, and I will not weary you‘ with them. There are rules govem-‘l ihg the court and the net. The net should be bound by heavy cord, rope, and a wire cable runs through the top of the net in order that it may‘ be drawn taut.
