BASKETBALL TOO STRENUOUS NOW

Rule Makers Are Going 10 Look into Declarations
 that Come Forth
By RAY BJGSSER AP Feature Service

CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.-Basket- balls rule makers are going to look into declarations that recent chang es have speeded up the game un- til it is too strenuous.
 Floyd Rowe, chairman of the National Basketball Committee, says that lin my own mind I'm confident we're not damaging any body'-but that the matter will get a full hearing.
 "A few years ago attendance was dropping off and spectator interest was down. declares Rowe. Tt was obvious something had to be done.
 "The committee adopted the rule that no team could hold the

1O.-HOW TO STUDY ALLEYS: No bowling alleys are alike and bowlers should study them in or der to obtain maximum results. In rolling on a strange alley the bowler should send the first ball from the exact spot or strip that he has been accustomed to. Then he should watch the ball until it hits the pins.
 If the ball goes too much to the left. he should change the angle on the next throw, moving to the left. If the ball does not come up to the No. 1-3 pocket, he should move over to the right to increase the angle.
 Here are a few "Don'ts" for bowlers:
 Don't use too much speed.
 Don't grip the ball too tightly
 Don't throw away a spare be- cause you thought you were en- titled to a Strlke.
 Don't get discouraged; you can learn.
 Don't deliver the ball with the right foot in front.
 Don't start your delivery With jump; walk fast, three, four or five steps.
 Don't exert yourself; take it easy; a slow accurate ball is bet ter than swift wild one.
 Don't roll a ball down the alley where there is a ball in the pit.
 Don't expect strike every time you hit the head pin

Bowling has its etiquette. Among the courtesies are: After delivering the ball walk straight back on the approach; do not interfere with bowlers on adjoining alleys; don't run at the same time with bowl CTS on adjoining alleys. Don't shout at your opponent while he is de- livering the ball

ball in its back couI. more than ten seconds, eliminating stalling as in the classic of all time, to 2 score between two Ohio high school teams with one player actually sitting down on the ball. The center jump also was elimin- ated because of its inequality
 With all the time outs and in- termissions, a high school game, for instance, actually takes up about 65 minutes, in which a player is required to travel some thing less than four miles. I'm past 50, but I'll guarantee to travel four miles in 65 minutes any time you want me to do it in decent weather, and it won't harm me one bit
 Keene Heads Opponents
 Leading protagonist of the bas- ketball- -too-strenuous school is Dr. Charles H. Keene, University of Buffalo physical education di- rector and editor of the Journal of School Health, publication Of the American School Health As sociation.
 He asserts that "the game is too strenuous, probably for col lege players, unless the squad is large enough to permit frequent substitution, and it is certainly detrimentally strenuous for ado lescent boys-high school play ers.'
 He says that basketball as now played results in chronic in- creased blood pressures."
 At least two committee mem bers however, think no changes should be made in the two disputed rules at the spring meeting, where Rowe said the research committee will report on the problem.
 c. s. Edmundson, basketball and track coach at the University of Washington in Seattle, declares My personal feeling is that the game of basketball is good one as it is, and requires no more stamina than it did in the first game we ever played
 In the opinion of J. w. St. Clair, Southern Methodist University ath- letic director at Dallas, Tex, "bas- ketban should still be a game for people who are in good physical condition, and I think should be Kept where it will continue to place premium on good physical condition, regardless Of age"
 People, Rowe contends, "are getting excited about something when in my honest judgment they haven't anything to get ex- cited about
 ,On the 18man committee, we have two medical doctors and one osteopathic physician. There isn't one man on the committee who would approve passage of a rule if he had any idea it would mitigate against the health of any player and yet together they have had 450 years of experience in basketball and athletics gen. orally.
 The games all right. It's bet ter than two, five or ten years ago It's being played better and coached much more intelligently and has become more of game of skill"

Hatch
Continued From First Page.)

II would prefer legislation far more
stringent, far more reaching than
the original law or the pending
amendments"
Senator Hatch predicted earlier
that if Congress lifts the ban against
political activity by Federal en-
ployes in the original Hatch Act
1t would lead to ''the absolute defeat
of the Democratic party in 1910"
The new Hatch bill had been be-
fore the Senate but few minutes
late yesterday when Senator Miller,
Democrat, of Arkansas offered an
amendment, to be voted on later,
to wipe from the statute books the
section of the existing law which
restricts the activities of Federal
workers.
That amendment" Senator
Hatch told reporters, would cost
thousands of more votes, if adopted,
than all the public employees put to-
gether could muster"
Seen Ruinous to Party.
But Senator Miller replied the
present Hatch Act would ruin the
Democratic party" by preventing
voluntary" political activities by
Federal workers.
There Is no reason why Federal
attorney or collector of internal
revenue, Senator Miller told report
ers, should not have as much right
as any other citizen to make q
speech or attend a political meet
ing" He added:
Il am just as much opposed as
any one to the coercion, intimida-
ton or oppression of employees. I
don't want somebody going around
with list of w. P. A. workers and
collecting from them, and I don't
want a Government boss to coerce
his subordinates.
But provisions of the Hatch Act
preventing all those things would
be retained. I only want to avoid
this business of Federal workers
sneaking up the back stairs to pass
the time of day with a friend-look-
ing behind them all the way to see
whether any one is watching"
Senator Nicely, Democrat, of West
Virginia also offered as substitute
for the Hatch bill late yesterday his
own plan for curbing political ac-
tivity OF State employees, which was
reported from the Civil Service Com
mittee last summer but not acted
on by the Senate.
The Nicely plan is wider in scope
than the Hatch measure. It pro-
vides for withholding Federal funds
from the States unless they put into
effect a civil service merit system
approved by the Civil Service Com
mission. His bill lists a number of
restrictions on political activity that
would have to be embodied in an
approved State civil service law.

Frank Mcdonald of San Francisco,

P. j. Sullivan, president Of the

said:

Six months ago, shortly before the
Justice Department began its drive
in the building industry. John L.
Lewis C. l o. invaded the building
trades field long dominated by the
A. F. L.
James McDevitt, president of the
Philadelphia Building Trades Coun-
Gil, contended that it was no viola

for buildings trades unions to halt
work on construction projects be-
cause the contractor either refused
to employ union workers or obtained
materials from union mills.
If this campaign is continued"
Mr.. McDevitt declared. "the trade
union movement will disintegrate
The departments campaign has
resulted already in the return Of 66
antitrust indictments involving
labor unions and their leaders.
The general presidents of the 10
building trades organizations ex-
pressed their sharp opposition to
the antitrust prosecutions yesterday
in the first session Of a two-day
meeting to establish united

A conference statement called the
departments use Of the Sherman
Antitrust Act to prosecute "un.
reasonable restraints" in the build

very worst"
The statement was generally re-
garded as an answer to letter from
Mr.. Arnold declaring that the
