Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del, March 25.-Coach
William J. AlcAvoy of Delaware College
has written 20 Ralph Morgan of New
York secretary of the Collegiate Bas-
ketball Rules Committee, making several
suggestions relative to changing the
rules. This action on the part of Coach
McAVoy, Us in answer TO a letter sent
out by Mr.. Morgan 10 coaches and 9TH
ers connected with the sport asking for
suggestions as to how the game could
be- improved. Coach McAvoy. as his let
ter viii explain. thinks there is room
for Improvements in the rules governing
the shooting of fouls. The letter reads:
MIR. Dear Mr.. Morgan. ! received a
letter from you several days ago ask
ing for suggestions as 70 how the game
of basketball could be improved | have
been coaching basketball for the past six
years and ! think me game as played
this last season has proven in many ways
to be very satisfactory; however / think
there is too much of an advantage given
Ia the team tnat is fortunate in having
a good foul thrower. Delaware College
lost three games this season; the teams
defeating her did it fairly and within
strict accordance with the rules. Both
teams IN each instance made the same
number Of baskets and committed about
j the same number OF fouls. however, Del
laware was unable to make the GOALS
from the foul line, hence defeat If /
were asked how TO improve this part of
The game / should suggest that the
player that commits the foul be COM
lp-lled TO try for the goal. In the event
that he does not make the basket. his
opponents be given a point. / think
/ this ruling would have a great effect
upon the players and the audience also
would have a better chance to see who
! is committing the fouls. Another point
20 be considered in a rule of this kind
would be the closer the game the fewer
fouls would be committed, as no player
would care to take a chance knowing
that the best he could do would be to
prevent a score against his team. With
this rule in effect all players would be
compelled to learn to shoot fouls and
as there are very few players who have
developed this part of the game to any
degree of efficiency, there would be a
general tendency on the part of the play.
ers to reduce thir chance to a minimum
Another suggestion would be to have
the goal from the foui line thrown IN
the opponents territory.
Trusting you will accept the above
suggestions in the spirit they are given
