Basketball Body
 May Loosen Up Three-Second Rule
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS Limited Press Stan Correspondent

(UnAbS0 ErOSS bUAH OOtGeSpOn0cutD New York, March % - (UP) -- A series of amendments designed to standardize basketball insofar as floors, backboards, balls, baskets and lights are concerned, will be presented to the rule-making body of the national basketball commit tee at its meetings in Kansas City this weekend.
 A special committee comprising c. s. Edmundson, University of Washington; Dale Lash, Wesleyan University and Valentine Lentz, U. s. Military Academy, will make the appeal, formulated by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, which concluded @ two-day meet ing yesterday.
 Calculated to provide another means of eliminating the contro- versial zone type of defense, sug- gestion by Dave Tobey of Savage Institute was approved unanimous ly. Tobey suggested that the pres. ent three-second restriction on the pivot post play be modified to ap- ply only to the four lane between the end line and the free throw line. If approved at Kansas City, this will free the outer half of the foul circle to unrestricted use.
 Pivot Play Back
 As the code now stands the foul lane and circle is virtually for. bidden territory as an offensive player may station himself in this zone for an unlimited time without the ball but may remain for only three seconds after gain possession.
 The coaches voted unanimously for standard playing court 50 feet in width and 84 feet between the backboards, voted against fam shaped backboards. specifying that they should be 6x4 feet rectangles made of steel, wood or glass and approved playing the game with a access, stitcherd- rd-seam ba made of brown eather panes.

Recreation League Notes

game anchor man in the league. but somehow Petey Byrnes couldn't click the last game, which would have seen some new records created If this youngster could have kept up his first two games form.
 The most disappointing team in the league was the Red Sox who were the choice of everyone in the league to win first place. Led by Jud Daly, who made @ comeback this year, Eggs Wooster, who always could come through a tight spot, Jimmy Grove who showed promise of being a conner and Bill Hartwick who rolled sensationally at times only to fall by the wayside later.
 The Athletics led by the great Phil Chabot, were handicapped most of the season by only having four men but they, too, gave great ac- cout of themselves in spite of this handicap.
 Harry Hubert improved, and was just as popular as anyone could be.
 Louie Cattana fought right down the stretch.
 The team lost the services of Harry Lauderman, very popular bowler, who was greatly missed.
 Ralph Coppola slipped consider ably this season but after all the best of them have their poor sea- sons.
 But hats of to Phil Chabot. who took over the anchor spot on his team, and worrieds his opponent many times with his dazzling strikes and spares in the pinches.
 The Yankees had as much fun as any of them and laughed, win or lose. A great team who took their losses with a smile and had great time kidding their opponents who looked foreward to a time when they rolled.
 Pickles Piazza showed real form at times while the happy go luckey Handsome Johnny Bresnahan was very much improved bowler and had but one really poor night and that was when his teammate, the Old Prof, called him Fish Bresnahan.
 Milt wynn could always smile when the going was toughest. He rolled very well considering the fact that his duties kept him all over the place during the night collecting money and keeping the scores along with many other tasks.
 The old Prof. Johnny Man2o, showed definite signs of slipping but promises the boys that he will be

VerrikerS Hang On to One Game Mercantile Lead

Unable to increase Its lead in the Mercantile League, verriker Paint CTS held its slim one game edge when 1t lost one of three games to Mohican Markets last night, as the runner-up Metro Cleaners were three pins short of a pickup and tie for the lead when 1t won 2 of from Brock-Hall Dairy and lost the se- cond game by two pins 591 to 5o3.
 Tommy Civiatate of Brookside Dairy was the humber one roller last night, with a new league re- cord single of 17S, topping Johnny zigadato's I'll single which has stood up for some time. Ciyitate added strings of 109 and lSS to his l7S for a high three of AIS, while the Broohside 64l was top team single and verriker's 1,797 best team total.

The Giants boasted of a well bal- anced team that suffered from poor breaks in the crucial moments but they never gave up trying and that is a real credit to them.
 Barber White who came into the league during the last round show ed considerable improvement over his last years bowling.
 Clarence McHugh, our President, never knows when to say quit and his fighting spirit kept his team in the race all season.
 Ed ORielly, one of our charter members, seems to improve with age and his wit is well appreciated among the bowlers.
 Wally Cole, our next President, showed real form earlier in the sea. son but his aging legs couldn't stand the strain of close race.
 Freddie Cone has won more friends in this league than anyone, and his sportsmanship Is real credit to him. We all enjoyed being beaten by such real sport.
 The Braves were the most pains- taking team in the league and fought for every game. A well bal- anced team with a truly great anchor man who came through many times during the season, in Joe Paternoster.
 Posa took his losses with a smile, while Denny MsGrath showed plenty of improvement up to the last night when he rolled 66, and took 66 mil- lion dollars worth of kidding, but the great Dinny can take 1t. Jack Hamel, always a great work CT for the league and his team, slowed up a bit but not in enthusi- asrn.
 Potatoes Tata, a real youngster, found himself this year. and we ex- pect that this lad will be humdinger next year.
 The Pirates were in and cutters all season. They had one man cir- GUS in Earthquake Mastrianna who made more noise than the other 39 men. Desmarais, c late conner, showed to advantage and will be an assett next year.
 Many thanks to Art Dulac who helped make these write-ups possi- ble.

< As we write the valedictory for the i04O.4i season of the Grand Recrea- ton League we can't but look back to the many pleasant Friday even- ings that we had during the season with the finest collection of sports this old league has ever had. It was the unanimous opinion of the char ter members that the season just finished was the most successful in many ways, financially, goodfellow- ,hip and outstanding sportsmanship pn the part of all the bowlers.
 The league race was the closest In Recreation League history with the result in doubt right up to the last game of the last night. The winners, namely the Tigers, were justly de- serving of top honors due to the un. tiring efforts of their star anchor man who Is 8 credit to any team he bowls with, Jimmy Barber, Q hard worker, a pleasant teammate who knows but one thing, to plug Tor every pin and encourage his team. mates and his leadership showed itself when his team was wavering and the old reliable Jimmy steadied them down with few kind words.
 Blanchard, Q late conner, also play ed a prominent part in his teams win, while we must not overlook the fact that Bobby Nelson was Q hard worker and perfect pinner. Charley Brown might have aged 8 little bit because of the closeness of the race, but rain, shine, snow or sleet the ever popular Charlie was on hand to do his best and charley more than proved his worth the night that he was ctristned Farmer Brown.
 Tommy Sullivan kept the boys laughing when they needed little help and his wit helped the boys keep their spirit when the going was tough The rest of the boys salute a great championship team.
 Hall the Tigers.
 The Cubs were the hottest team in the league during the last round when they won every single series that they rolled against their op- pbnents. Cuppy Colangelo, Gumshoe German, Noisy Mautino, Bub Mas trianna and Bic Boy Messina found themselves just a couple of weeks too late or this history would have had to be written over. Messina has been red hot for seven weeks and this writer goes on to predict that the popular Biggy will be one of the three leading bowlers in this town next year.

Cows are the answer to the prob

have to come from a cow. It could
