eft takes no keen eye to see that the
new rules will allow considerably more
action in the. matter Of scoring IN nas-
ketball this year than ever before
is the declaration Of Coach Fred Rice
Of the Catholic University duint'
while we have played no games AZ
vet the team has met several high
school fves in practice and from TIE
result of the schoolboy games 1t Is
evident that there will be a great deal
of scoring under the new rules.
"When the rules committee decided
to eliminate rouGhness and changed the
method OF defense on passing anu
shooting the changes became so rad
ical that 1t is now apparent that oR
totals will be rolled up" continued
Coach Rice. 1.-THE close scores, small
totals and unusual amount Of body
checking cnd near holding has been
eliminated and the passing game has
been put at a premium. Another hne
feature Of the new code is that it al
lows the smaller man q great chance.
Speed, passing ability. and endurance
arc going to he rewarded"

tsns a that the season IS SoeVe ESl1 we 20 shall
have about double the amount OF scoT,,
ing this season over that OF last year.
