CLEVELAND Players call fouls on themselves. Coaches sit alone and watch Spectators howl louder than ever
 It's student-controw basketball as played in Cleveland high schools.
 Games. proceed under regular rules except that there are. no of ficials. When a participant commits foul he raises his hand, halting play. Captains call violations by teammates. But in no instance may enc opponent penalize the other. The whole thing is strictly honor bright"
 In one sense only is there outside regulation. A participant makes sure the ball is kept in bounds and watches for such technical viola tions as failure to advance the ball from backcourt to forecourt in the prescribed 10 seconds. A man on the sidelines also blows whistle to stop play when player calls foul on himself.
 Captains are strictly on their own in making substitutions, calling for timeouts and running their teams. Coaches duties end when games be- gin.
 Such startling inovations could be attempted only by an expert. He is Floyd Rowe, member of the na- tional basketball rules committee, who directs physical welfare activi- ties for the Cleveland school sys- tenn.
 Rowe induced six high schools to try out his "brain-child" on an experimental basis at the start of the season. It was unpopular at first Coaches were incredulous. Now they are less pessimistic. Rowe expects his game to spread to every public school in the city next year

 Final contest, Ospreys vs. Teal, produced a round 1900 total count for the Ospreys whose club rolled against a trio of averages. Osprey sharpshooting was good enough to garner the last two games. Clark of the winners was high with SPA
