Now let's see, what'll it be—golf, softball, baseball, or checkers. How about basketball? Did you know that in Italy a referee has the power to arrest a specta- tor who boos, hisses or otherwise takes an extreme dislike to any of the decisions he renders? Up to 1913, Japanese athletes refused to take up basketball stating it was originated for the weaker sex only. Baskets in Soviet Russia consist of hoops without backboards. The size of a basketball court in Holland is twice the size of our regulation courts, with 24 players taking part in a contest instead of ten. Calcutta cage artists play without skirts, bearing charcoal numbers on their bare backs. Basketball in Honolulu is considered a 365-day-a-year sport. In Nova Scotia, the referee watches the play from a balcony vantage point and presses a button which operates a whistle, While an assistant on the floor throws up the ball and executes his boss' command. Schoolboys in China are not taught the game as they are more dexterous. with their feet, Championships in Greece are quite often staged during rainstorms, as there are no indoor courts in that country.
