the game know that ever since the
center tap was eliminated in bas-
ketball, scores have mounted as
Economically and the little man has
been pushed out of the game due
to the so-called goons and giants.
AS a result of this assemblage of
giants on the court today, we find
the professional game growing in
popularity, but, at the same time,
creating considerable discussion
relative to the merits of the play
ers involved.
The once smart game of play
making, possession ball and astute
defense has disappeared.
Realizing that the game will be-
come farce if this trend contin-
ues, the masterminds of the N. B..
A., including such veterans as Ed
die Gottlieb, Coach of the Phila-
delphia Warriors; Lester Harris,
Rochester Royals, and several nom
Jewish members, including Ned
Irish of Madison Square Garden,
and Carl Bennett of Fort Wayne,
under the skillful guidance of
President Maurice Podoloff, have
come up with suggested rule
changes for the betterment of the
game.
ONE OF the moves which was
decided upon to curb fouling in
the final stages of every contest,
was the recommendation of Eddie
Gottlieb, namely, to call for a
jump ball in the last five minutes
of the contest and in every over
time period. After each success
fully Gagged foul, the two jumpers
are to be the fouled player and the
man who committed the violation.
In addition, in order to try and
bring back smart play-making and
the restoration of pivot play as
conceived by the original Celtics
25 years ago, the group is advocat-
ing the widening of the foul lines
from six to IL feet. From now on,
post men stationing themselves un-
der the bucket will have to cage
their shots from farther out, there
by calling for more skilled pivot
shooters.
1t is hoped that this restriction
on the pivot shooters will give the
smaller man a chance to pass into
the post man and then cut him off
for the hoop down through the
newly-widened line.

Following Loss Of
First Three TiIts

After a somewhat dismal start,
the Jewish Community Council
basketball team is beginning to
take shape.
Although the squad lost its first
three games, it is showing some
signs of improvement since its ini-
tial game with Alianza Insurance.
Nal Strauss and Harold Glotzer
are carrying the scoring burden.
Barry Wolf and Harold Dublin are
making a fine showing in rebound
work and general play. Diminu-
tive Red Willet completes the
starting five, with Nate Katz,
Larry Liederman and Joel Goor
in support. Mel Pearlman is
coach and Harold Kalish assistant.
All members of the Jewish COM
munity are urged to attend the
games and support the team.
Anybody skilled in basketball is
invited to come to the teams prac-
tice every Sunday from noon at

The Columbia Opera Company'S S
performance of Gounod's Faust"
in Lisner Auditorium last night
was q triumph for the conductor
and producer, Ethyl Manning.
With this presentation, she con-
cludes more than IL years effort

city for the production of light
and grand opera. 1t is a long rec
ord of success, achieved almost
single le-handed, and her. depar-
ture from Washington will dis
continue a most worthy under
taking unless some one is found
to carry on in her stead.
Those who witnessed the per-
formance last night must have
realized how great has been her
accomplishment. Althoug h in
opera literature Faust" ranks as
one of the simpler works. it is
difficult to present it outside q
professional group with conviction
and without disaster. The Co.

excellence from all angles. The
amount of care and study given
it was evident throughout and was

ning's own artistic integrity and
the fine cooperation of her as
sistants in the mechanics of pro-
duction.
The cast was we'll chosen. Maria
de la Hull was the most charming
natural and fitting Marguerite
seen In many years. No singer
from renowned companies has
visualized the part so completely
and conveyed so truly the youth
and inexperience of Gounod's
heroine. She employed several in
dividual touches in her portrayal
A vote of thanks should be ex-
tended her for discarding the Gus
tomary blue costume for pink. It
was a relief from the long roster
of blue clad, two braided Mar
guerites who have appeared in the
role She introduced new stage
action in the jewel scene that
made it seen right for once, and
in other moments of the opera
contrived to do the natural thing
in her acting.
Her voice is sweet and ably
managed so as to bring out the
full effects of the music. The title
role was in the capable hands OF
Lewis Rose, who has never sung
better. His voice has the real lyric
character designed for Faust and
while its volume is not great, the
timbre is most appealing. Both he
and Miss de la Hull are expert
enced actors and their work
throughout was easy and genuine
in feeling.

know what happens to his peace
of mind.
There is nothing shining with
originality about the plot of
Small Beer in Springtime." but
the authors unfold it with a suf-
ficient number of funny lines and
comic situations. AS the play
stands-or at least as it stood
last night-its most serious fault
is an almost interminable first act,
which boys down at several points
to almost complete inaction. A
minor operation with a pair of
pruning sheers can take care of
this, though, and otherwise the
play is pleasant light comedy fare.
The authors owe a considerable
debt to John Rodney, a former

plays Dooley with humor. under
