Don Kellett, a heads-up basketeer for Pennsylvania during recent years, is now the head coach, hav- ing replaced Lon Jourdet and, be- fore his season opens with Yale next weekend, Don has put in with good, solid suggestion to the rule makers, to change the rule that per- mitS player to RE-ENTER the game TWICE.
 Basketball squads will be small CT than in ordinary times" Kellett explains, land as a result coach will be sorely pressed for capable substitutes to rest the few players of college calibre he may have on the squad.
 Basketball has been speeded uI so much the past few years that few players can stand the gruell- ing pace for forty minutes of play If the rule were amended so that player could be substituted as of ten as necessary, basketball ir these war times would not be 8 hardship on the players
 There is no limit to the number of times a player can be substituted in football and Kellett believes the same rule should apply to basket ball.
 With most college teams composed of V-5 and V-12 trainees, the amount of practice time is sorely limited. At Pennsylvania for in- stance Kellett has approximately one hour and twenty minutes a day for practice purposes. In the past there was no limit to the time needed to whip a team into physi- cal condition for the sport.
