Willie Madden was one of Mineral school’s basket ball players in 1930.

“In the 1930s college basketball was the dominant form of organized basketball. The Depression had sunk the professional American Basketball League (ABL), which had been formed in the 1920s, but it actually revived the college game, which was played mostly in gymnasiums and armories.” (enotes.com)
