It's iMECaliVCit SPORTS COLUMN 4E1#tea It came into being only three years ago as winter's answer to Little League baseball, but today, Biddy Basketball has grown with giant strides as another development cal- culated to interest the kids of our nation in clean competitive sport, and thereby combat the inroads of juvenile delinquency.. Canada hasn't quite kept step with the United'States, even comparatively, in the growth of Biddy Basketball. Nor, in fact, has thegame grown in Canada to the same extent Little League baseball. But it is=makingrapid- headway. For there are about twenty-seven Canadian cities with Biddy Basket- ball fairly well organized. .There are probably twelve to fifteen hundred partiiiipants whose ages according to regulations range from thirteen years down to nine. Most., of these cities are in Quebec, Ontario and the Western Provinces. Most of the Canadian Biddy Basketball Clubs are organized and sponsored by Social Centres, Boys Associations and the odd 'Community project. The schools have not as yet taken it up in any official way. The physical welfare of the boy is taken into consideration and a careful check is made so that they do not strain themselves, either. physically or emotionally. In the United States, the growth of the game has been al- most fantastic. From the original 16 teams,.in one state it has spread, until now it has more than 10,000 small fry playing on 1200 teams in 44 states. And it is being played in 11 foreign countries. The program is regulation basketball'in miniature, designed specifically for the younger set. The rules are tailored to their measurements and immature strength, such as lowering the hoops a foot and a half, shortening the foul line three feet,, and using a smaller ball. , The appeal of ,this youth movement is almost irresistible. And it has received great impetus from Jay Archer, former State Teachers College star, who tours the. country spreading the gospel of sport. Canada has gone along without such in-° spirational help, carried on the wave of Little League baseball success, but as in baseball, Canadian teams will soon be ready to compete in the national tournaments held annually across the line, just as did our champion :Little. Leaguers compete with distinction in the Little League baseball play-offs last autumn. These juvenile leagues are great. things for the youngsters. They cut across race, creed, s'nd other beliefs and social dis- tinctions in a fashion that is more truly democratic than pre- vails in anything outside sport. They start our kids off on truly democratic lines, something that only sport, the great leveller, can, accomplish.
