HOOP RULE ON CONSTITUTIONS
 FACES CHANGE
By ALFRED JONAS Limited PresS Staff COrreSpOndent)

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York. March 28 - CU.P) - Tall players. the target of rousing criticism, because of their advan- tage in scoring plays, actually bene- f1teda today in revisions to collegiate basketball rules by the legislative committee.
 Although case histories of some of the most successful tall players in the game were submitted, the rules body emerged with seven minor changes, and nothing was done to stop the offensive onslaught of the rangier players.
 Instead the committee passed a rule which stated that points will not be nullif1ed if player touches the basket hoop or net when field goal obviously has been made.
 The suggested legislation to modify the height advantage was tabled because the committee could not agree on the best method of combating the big players.
 The most important of the other changes effected was the cancella- tion of the 30-second rule, which heretofore enabled a team to get by without charged time-out when a player was substituted. Under the revised rule, only an injury to a player will prevent a team with be- ing charged with a time out if a substitution is made. The rule was effected to prevent coaches from delaying games by sending in sub stitutes with strategy information during close contests and at the same time giving the players on the floor a rest without time being charged.
 Signals Of
 Another change provides stand- ardization of signals by officials for all parts of the nation to enable players to know what action was being taken by the referees. There were numerous complaints during tournament play at Madison Square Garden, that officials used signs un. familiar to the players.
 Other changes were:
 l. An out-of-bounds ball is to be given to the nearest offensive player to avoid delay by passing it to man in distant part of the court.
 ?. On cancelled goals brought about by any violation, the ball is to be taken out on the side court instead of behind the basket.
 3. On plays when the offensive player accidentally steps into the back court, he is to be permitted to retain possession of the ball.
 4. Officials to be given the power to fix the responsibility of screen ing plays upon offensive men.
 James w. St. Clair of Southern Methodist was reelected chairman Of the committee. Others reelected were H. Jamison Swarts of Penn- sylvania, treasurer; H. V. Porter, secretary; and Oswald Tower, edi- tor of the rules book.

TOUGH GOING FOR CANADIENSIN
 STANLEY PLAY
(By United Press)

The Montreal Canadiens, one of the most dominant combines ever to represent the National League. were in desperate straits today in the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs. They must win three straight games in order to move into the final round of post-seaSon competition.
 Toronto's Maple Leafs, who fin- ished in third place during the reg ular season. upset the favored Ca- nadiens at Toronto again last night, winning. 4 to 3. in an overtime per- iod to take 3-1 lead in games. To win the best four out of seven series, the Canadiens must puncture the brilliant defensive line that has en- abled Toronto to come to the fore in the post-season competition.
 Bruins. Wings Even
 Meanwhile, the Detroit RedWings evened up their series with the Bos- ton Bruins, winning, to 2, at Bos- ton last night to deadlock the com- petition at two games apiece.
 The Redwings gained the verdict in the third period with less than three minutes to go when Murray Armstrong scored on an assist from Art Jackson. Earlier in the period Detroit came from behind on an unassisted goal by Joe Carveth.
 Each team scored once in the first period, Ken Smith putting Boston ahead momentarly before Early Sci bert countered for Detroit. Herb Gains unassisted goal in the second period put Boston in front and made the two goal rally by the Redwings in the third period necessary.
 At Toronto the Canadiens took a 2 to 0 first period lead on goals by Maurice Richard and Elmer Lach. but Toronto leveled the advantage with counters by Mel Hill and Dave Sweeney Schriner in the second. In the third period, the CanadienS went in front again on a shot by Bob Filion, but Babe Pratt tied the score for Toronto six minutes later and Gus Bodnar scored the winning shot after 12:36 of the overtime.
