Philadelphia, Dec. 6--r0n Jourdet, coach oS the University Of pennsyl. vania basketball team, and long an exponent Of the pivot play As one Of the best offensive plays in the sport, enthusiastically approves the change made in the three second rule by the rules committee.
 The three second rule which ape piled to any part Of the foul circle, and caused the loss Of the ball by any player holding it longer than that time ln the circle, has been changed to permit the men in the pivot to hold tho ball any length of time provided he does not step on or pass the free throw line.
 The old rule stll applies fl the player advances beyond the free throw line. However, not all teams used the pivot in 90 close to the basket, with the result that tho change h the rule amounts to als most . complete reversal from the old practice,
 Lon Jourdct has always believed the pivot play one of the most ct. tractlye from the spectators view. points to its popularity in the early thirties when players like Donald KeIlett, present freshman coach at Pennsylvania, used it so effectively iya college circles.
 Attractive
 "The pivot properly executed is one of the most attractive plays, If | can use such an expression, in col. lege basketball. It requires accurate timing ard 6 keen geiise of respon- slbllity and judgment on the part of the player handling the ball." JouFdet said.
 'sTho play was too hurried under the old rule, The player barely was get for tho pass when the whistle would blow and he would lose the ball. The rllle put to much responSl- bllity on the officials to decide when the three seconds were up with the result that there was considerable calling from the stands and opjecs tions by the players that the man in tho pivot had overstayed his time. This new rule will eliminate lot of uulbbllng by coaches, players and spectators" Jourdet continued.
 with the exception of the change in the three second rule, the rules for l042 are virtually the same as they were last year. The Elolded or eealnIess ball has beeRr recommended mm fk ia optional with 0 college whetlaer it uses the Tnolded ball or tho ono with seams.
