kind of interesting - I hadn't seen this before - it's from the early 1930's....
Note the aggressive, rugby-style of physical play, the tiny "key", and the long, long shots - especially the 2-hand underhanded backspin shots that they take from as far away as halfcourt & the jump ball after each made basket.
... and even quite a few fancy hook shots!
BTW- the Morton that is referred to is not Morton, IL high school but the Morton HS in Cicero
it's a lot faster paced with fast breaks - than I would have thought and some of those kids look surprisingly bulked up!
More from 1948
