A TLANTA, Ga. March 3l.-The
~ present rules of basket ball
~ will probably continue in force
4 4 another year so far as the
men who teach it to college
teams of the country are concerned.
Leading members of the National
Basket Ball Coaches Association ex-
pressed the opinion that no rules
changes would be recommended by
the coaches in their final session
here today.
materially alter the game have been
offered during the three-day conven-
tion here, but coaches feel members
of the association will not vote to
recommend them to the National
Rules Committee, The general opin-
ion seems to be that the game Is fine
as it is now and that there is no
reason for changing it.
Many proposed changes were dis
cussed at length yesterday.
n C. (PHOG) ALLEN, chief back
er of the move to raise the
goals from 10 to II feet. told
the coaches that, although he favored
the elevation. there should be further
research in the matter before definite
action was taken.
John Bum of Stanford, chairman
of the Coaches Research Committee,
reported in letter to the convention
that elevation of the basket would
cut field goals made from scrimmage
by two-thirds. Bum said the ad-
vantage of tall men was lessened by
the new level, as they couldn't get
the ball under the basket as easily as
heretofore.

reported more long shooting and less
roughing when the raised baskets
were used. However, he added that
players complained of cramped arms
and wrists when shooting at the 12-
foot goals.
Wade Lambert of Purdue and
George Keogan of Notre Dame ex-
pressed alarm at the tendency they
said they have noticed of many high
school teams paying too much atten-
ton to defense. They said teams

-HE golfng MacKenzies are at
it again. No sooner had Dad
dy Mackenzie shot himself
II over his home course at
Columbia than Roland, his
stalWart son. VINO is the pro at Con-
gressional, decided to go out and do
some golf scoring on his own hook.
So Roland, playing to all the regular
greens and using regular tees, scored
Congressional in II strokes, also.
Albert Mackenzie, who licked his
son in the Middle Atlantic champion
ship final of 1923. scored his II over
a course considerably shorter than the
Congressional course, where Roland
used his big tee shots to advantage.
Congressional has par of 70.
Roland gradually is getting his
swing back into shape after a lengthy
layof. He is going to be a tough
hombre for the members of the paid
clan to handle this year, if the put
ting touch he had in 1927 returns to
him.

former District champion. also did

y strokes and again Dave Thomson.
the club pro, was on the receiving
end. Dave is in a slump and Frank
is playing very well, combination
that does not make for much peace of
mind for the popular little Scot.
Al Houghton. Kenwood pro. has
changed his mind about playing in
the Cavalier open and was not among
the starters who left the first tee down
near Birdneck Point today.
Houghton decided he had had
enough golf for a while and came
home yesterday. full of ideas about
the needed" ball and of enthusiasm
for the way Bob Jones plays golf.

various schools and one important
conference was ordering ball of
smaller circumference than the speci-
fications demanded.
A Nationwide canvass of coaches
and athletic directors was made and
we found a popular desire for a
change in the bail. The new specifi-
cation seemed to meet the majority's
wishes.
This is the first change since 1881,
when We made slight alterations in
both the long and short axis circun-
ference and Set definite limits on the
pressure. Previously We merely spec
ified the weight and that the ball be
tightly inflated
The change undoubtedly will make
the bail easier to grip and aid the
forward passer. Whether that was
the motive behind the agitation I
don't know"

M Bobby Jones has at least
v one compensation for his
inferior showing at the
amateur-pro tournament at
Augusta last week end. He has
put every golfing duffer in the
land into a mood of glowing
amiability.
Not a club swinger whose game
consistently ranges from the extreme
ly mediocre to sheer humble-puppy
failed to mark the significance of the
Atlantans showing as it applied to
him personally.
Comparatively speaking, Bobby now
is one of the dubs and, through curl
Gus working of sporting psychology,
a fact which should be dour and dis
tressing, is on the contrary hearten-

of American golfers to whom a card

A suggestion that both the basket
ball and the net under the hoop be
painted black was advanced by Art
Kahler of Brown University. Kahler
said the colored ball would be easier
for the spectators to see and the net
would offer better target. Allen of
Kansas disagreed, saying the black
ball would blend too we'll with the
spectators and the present white net
under the black rim offered a much
better target.
n ILL CHANDLER of Marquette
n proposed that free throws given
for fouls made at the other end
of the court be moved back to the
edge of the foul-line circle. He said
this would give the advantage to free
throws resulting from fouls made
under or near the basket Another
coach advocated increasing the size
of the hoop from 18 to 20 inches, but
his suggestion was countered by one
to decrease the size Of the ball.
Nat Holman, famous pro player and
now coach of the City College of New
York, was strong for letting the rules
alone They are good enough as
they are and any changes would only
be confusing" he said.
