MUCH COMMENT
By LONG

MUCH COMMENT is being heard
on all sides these days about the
in high school and college
basketball games. Most of the grip
ing concerns excessive whistle blow
ing on the theory that it slows down
the game. Generally we find it to
be "too many fouls" if the griper in
question lost a couple of key play
ers, or mot enough fouls" if the op-
ponents won. But so widespread has
the comment become that coaches
and rule makers are considering
changing several rules in order to
please the fans (most of whom don't
know what they want-except see
the rules changed so their team
winsD Coaches and fans blame the
officials, and officials blame the rule
makers. But what is this blame? The
rules are clear. Football is meant
for the gridiron, basketball was de-
signed as a sport of skill with no
bodily contact We find nothing
wrong with the present rules and
admire any official with nerve
enough to enforce them (although
with the abuse heaped upon them
by the fans, it's small wonder they
overlook many fouls.) If there is to
be blame for the present situation
in basketball, we place that blame
on the ignorance of coaches and
players in not knowing the present
rules, and particularly upon those
coaches who teach their boys to play
a style of ball that almost forces
them to break the rules.
a
PRESENT DAY basketball, the race
horse style, pell-mell galloping up
and down the court, has truly caused
an increase in fouling over the de-
liberate ball handling type of play
used Is years ago. But again the
rules governing fouling are just as
clear now as then DR.. James Nais-
smith, inventor of the game, had in
mind a no-contact sport, but at one
time the game developed into a
pretty rugged encounter. Body
blocking and elboWing was over
looked, resulting in many players
being forced into the stands or sent
flying to the floor in agony. The
present rules were written to pro-
tect players and now the rules must
call upon coaches and players for
protection themselves. We repeat
it, study out the next game care
fully and see if the fault really lies
in the rules. You'll have to admit
(unlesS you want the rules to cover
your own particular style of play)
that the game isn't too slow and Of
ficials don't call too many fouls In
| fact the CaldWell-RoseVille game
last week was a prime example of
| the other eXtreme-the first foul
was called just two minutes before
| halftime 1t was very fortunate that
neither team involved was unduly
rough, otherwise what happened be-
tween Belpre and Racine might
have been enacted here. Lack OF
foul-calling tends definitely to make
| the game rougher, thought that
just doesn't soak into some peoples
| heads!
THE ORIGINAL GAME had only 13
rules with DR.. Naismith listing these
four fundamental principles: "Q)
The played in possession of the
| ball must not make progress while
it is in his possession. (2)-The goal
| is horizontal and above the heads OF
the players. (3)-Roughness is elm
mated as far as possible by making
it no-contact contest. (4)-The ball
belongs to the player at any time
that he can get it without making
personal contact" If personal con.

Harriettsville's Elks rolled up the
largest score in county league play
this season by blasting Sarahsville
$3.50 on the winners floor last Fri
day night.
Despite a 28-point scoring splurge
by Speed" Hannahs, the Elks
moved relentlessly ahead as four
players hit the double figures. Dave
Ayers with Is was tops for Har-
riettsville followed by Smithberger

a personal foul. Officials should give
special attention to this type of lr-
fraction. The mere fact that the de-
fensive player is attempting to play
the ball does not justify him in max
ing contact with the player in pos
session. A held ball decision is not
warranted merely on the grounds
that the defensive player gets his
hand on the ball. Uusually such
decision is unfair to the player who
has firm possession of the ball. If
the defensive player causes personal
contact in an attempt to get at the
ball from an unfavorable position
he should be penalized."
MATTY BEGOICH, once the center
of the famed st. Johns, and now a
capable referee, suggested these
changes in an effort to please the
coachs: "O-Have delayed
whistle, as in hockey. If player is
hacked while dribbling the ball to-
wards the basket, let the play con-
tinue. If he makes the goal there
is no foul. If he misses, foul is
called. (2)--The team which is
fouled keeps possession of the ball,
whether it makes or misses the shot
taken. (3)-Clarify the kicking the
ball rule by eliminating the word
'intentionap'. (4)-When a big CEN
ter taps in a rebound it be counted
as one point instead of two. (5)-
Have the referee stop the play after
all scores are made, to handle the
ball before giving it to the team
scored upon
BEGOvICHS SUGGESTIONS were
tried out last week by Columbia and
Manhattan with Columbia winning
24-19, a pitiful score for college
teams. The whole session was flop
leading to too much stalling and
causing the players to stand around
and get cold after working up a
sweat. The idea of a team maintaing
possession of the ball after a foul
shot caused Columbia to hold the
ball long enough to tally six points
before losing the ball. A smart team
could cause the opponents to foul
often and thus retain possession for
several minutes. When it's all
summed up, we find there's nothing
! wrong with the rules. We should en-
courage officials to enforce them.
There's no blame with officials
| competent officials, that isl and no
blame with the rule makers, just
! blame with fans and coaches who
want to ruin Americas great indoor
sport by having it played the way
! they want to see it. Meanwhile we'll
take our football on the gridiron

There are a lot of people who are

gags on the tips of the tongues of
many of the night club set, accord

this ever did seem funny, but if 1t

one is going to say that some night

other forms of weary humor also
are encountered in the night by the
picture girls. Miss Darr once came
upon a couple whose good idea at
the time was to have their picture
taken while sitting under a table.
A cooperative sort, she took them
back to an uninhabited corner OF
the Madrillon and snapped it for
them. Then she rubbed salt in the

Holmes County Neds NITROGEN

W. R. Sullivan, County Agent of

cent discussion the urgent need for
local source of nitrogen.
The demand for nitrogen through
out the world has been steadily in

production has remained compare

IN the county to one ton of ammon-
lum nitrate produced at the Missis-
sippi plant
Experiments, both in the labor
atory and in the field, have estab-
llshed the fact that l pound of pure
nitrogen will produce a of bushel
ct corn, g of bushel of oats or 10
pounds of seen cotton. Using these
flgures as a basis, if the entire 1000
tons OF nitrogen allowed by the coun-
ty goal could be made available for
any one crop, it would produce 552.-
200 bushels of corn worth 81 .lO4 600
at present prices; or 1,104,000 bushels
of oats valued at $1,104,OO0 at pre-
sent prices; Or 100000 pounds of

Dean Paul Chapman of the Uni
versity of Georgia, eminent agricul-
ture economist, recently stated in a
public meeting in Jackson that the
farmers dollar turns over five times.

to five times the farm income. This
being true, and taking the lowest of
the above estimated figures, Hol-
mes county would gain $685., 900 in
