The Screening PLAY.

MR.. HOLMAN'S charges demon
A strated also how the new rules
prevented tall defender from keep
ing his big duke over the rim to cut
off a score. It is now legal only if
the defender keeps his hand in a
perpendicular plane in front of the
basket. The screening play has been
common in the West for many years
and now has been interpreted freely
In the new rules so that Eastern and
Southern teams can employ it with
out question of legality. But the jump
center rule was the big news
Il can remember" said one of the
watchers, when travelling (steps) was
good for a free throw. That was back
In the early 20s. Technical fouls were
common, too. We sometimes got as
many as three shots in a row when
the offending player got tough about
the referees ruling. They used to
list fouls as technical or personal
on the score books Oh, it was very
complicated"
Then the rules were changed and
travelling with the ball was no longer
free shot You simply gave the ball
to the other side to throw in. That
speeded the game. In those days, too,
one man made all the free throws.
This was changed so that the offended
player took his own foul shot.
And now. it seems, the game changes
radically. 1t is speeded up. 1t was
fast enough before, and, if you don't

Our expert talked last week to Nat
Holman, the greatest player of all
time and now successful coach in
New York, and to Pat Kennedy and
Dave Walsh. referees They were as
sembled at clinic for coaches who
had become puzzled b. the rules and
what they meant
Holman was pretty reticent about it,
but he liked the changes. for his teams
usually are not made up of Middle
Western 6foot-sizers, but Of shorter.
speedier city boys. Be believes it will
take lot OF time to straighten out the
new rules, but. by the end of the sea-
son, it should be clear even to spec
tators what players can and cannot do.
Herewith. Mr. Holman's demon
strators set out to scrimmage and the
spectators moved their heads like

hockey is encumbered-no matter how
beautifully it is played-by the equip

7 os ANGELES, Dec. 25.-Our
basket ball expert insists We
haven't said enough about the
- new l937-38 rules that change
the entire aspect of the most popular
indoor game in America. Well, maybe
there are more bridge players. but
there aren't more spectators. Almost
20,000,000 persons saw basket ball last
winter and spring in this country.
Not even foot ball attracts so many.
Our expert says the greatest change
IN the rules obviously will come from
the elimination of the constant jump
at center. 1t rules out the 6-foot-6-
and-up teams that used to murder
speedier but shorter (and often far
more accurate shooting> basket ball
f1ves. Unless man Is fast, he won't
make the grade now. His height will
be important, but not imperative This
Is how it works. 1t changes the
thing into perpetual motion
The center jump is eliminated ex-
cept at the beginning of the game
and at the start of the second half
or quarters, in games involving young
sters. Instead, the team whose basket
has Just been scored upon may take
out of bounds directly after the basket
has been made. The tllrow-in is
made from outside court and the de-
fender must stay at least yard away.
