NEW RULES,
 BASKETBALL

MINNEAPOLIS, March 29 -lR- Basketballs lawmakers are studying possible rules changes today that would increase the severity of the penalty for a personal foul and also would change the college game from two 20-minute halves to four 10- minute quarters.
 The Joint Rules Committe, which established the code for the game is made up of representatives from the NCAA. the High School Feder- ation, AAU, YMCA and the Canad- ian Basketball group.
 A questionnaire sent out by the committee brought answers to show that college and AAU coaches where the game is played in halves preferred the quarter system which prevails in high schools, the pro ranks and in some YMCA contests This rule is expected to be changed sometime today.
 Action is not expected on increas- ing severity of penalty for per sonal foul.
