NOtre Dame Experiment Reveals Measure to Speed

2. Play is jammed into a 45-foot
area, making it impossible to use
the back court to maneuver the de-
fense out Of position.
3. Scoring will be decreased TO O
minimum.
f. The number Of held balls will
increase 20 per cent.
AN offensive team cannot or
ganize its attack until one OF its
players has carried the ball across
the mid-court line" Coach Keogan
explained. This is due to the
short time allowed to place the ball
in an opponents zone Once over
the lire, the man cannot carry TIE
ball into back court. The small As
foot area enables the defensive team
to cover each opponent closely, max
ing 1t hard for a team to work the
ball into the basket or in close scor-
ing position. The effectiveness of
speedy players like Johnny Wooden
Of Purdue will be nullified by such
O measure
As q solution, Coach Keogan sug-
gests that the defensive team be
forced TO 60 down court after the

" be able to carve their initials
around the batters' necks, be-
ginning next week, but there
is something besides wood in their bats
When Myer, West, Manush. Rey-

Your Uncle's boys have been picked

that's because they do not have to pitch

Basket Ball Code
On Criddle Today

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 9-The basket
~ ball Rules Committee will de-
eide today what, If any, changes
in the code it will make to speed up
the game.
The elimination of "stalling" is
the main objective. Particular inter-
est centers on the cent line"
recommendation of the National
Coaches Association which met in
Chicago recently.
This rule would require a team
obtaining the ball in its own back
court to work it across a line BIZ
secting the center of the court
within 10 seconds on pain of losing
1t on an out of-bounds ruling.
Chief objection to this sugges-
ton in a meeting Of the Rules
Revision Subcommittee yesterday
was that it placed the burden Of
forcing the play on the team with
the ball. Some members OF the
subcommittee thought that was a
task for the defending team.

= OUTH BEND, Ind, April 9.-A
series of trials Of the new rule
designed to cure "stalling" in
basket ball has convinced
Coach George Keogan of Notre
Dame that the proposed measure
will be more detrimental to the game
than beneficial.
The rule, Endorsed at the recent
meeting of the National Basket Ball
Coaches Association, calls for line
to be drawn across the middle OF
the playing floor over which the Of
fenSive team must advance the ball
within 10 seconds of the time they
take possession in back court or lose
the ball out Of bounds to the de-
fensive team.
-Four regulation games were played
on the Notre Dame court to test out
the proposed rule. After the expert
rpents, Coach Keogan, regarded as
one of the big ten Of the Nations
hardwood coaches, drew up the fol-
lowing conclusions:
!. The rule Is strictly in favor OF
the defense, whereas 1t was devised
to spe up the offense.
