NORMAN. Okla, Dec. 1.-THE
controversial new free-throw rule
which has been under heavy fire
In early-season basketball games
found an ardent advocate today
in Bruce Drake. Oklahoma coach.
He urged critics to look at the
advantages Of the rule which al
lows two chances to make a foul
shot and eliminates the out-of-
bounds option during the final
three minutes. forcing a player to
take both shots.
Immediate Results.
Drake. president of the Board
lot the National Basketball
Coaches Association, said imme-
diate results have been to:
/. Lengthen games.
2. Make wholesale fouling more
Iexpensive-a major purpose of the
Irule.
3. Benefit a clean-playing team.
4: Make it more difficult for
if1xers to shave points.
Acknowledging the oft-repeated
criticism that games are longer
in Oklahoma's case 5 to 6 minutes
Drake said that was not argu-
ment against the rule. Actually
the spectators will enjoy the game
more, he contended.
AS for the charge it is more
difficult for trailing team to re-
gain the lead in the final three
minutes. he said the game had
gotten out Of hand and needed
curbing badly.

Tony Sontini, Star for 80 Years,
Still q Threat in Any Pin Event
By Rod Thomos

An old-time bowler dropped in
on the Howard Campbell Open for
a glimpse of the modern duckpin
stars. After the tournament he
spotted Tony Santini.
Gosh, Tony, you still at it?" he
said. whats your scorer"
Soberly. Tony replied: "1,795.'
ut was far out of the money!
II said score. Tony, not your
date of BIRTH" laughed the old
timer.
But Santini didn't laugh. 81
couldn't get going" he said.
What the veteran didn't know
was that Tony Santini, whom he
knew more than a quarter-century
ago as a star bowler. still is that
Tony finished in the paycff of the
Campbell tournament in 1922
Thirty years later at the age of 81
he's threat to win any tourna-
ment in the duckpin world.
Tony was on his game last
night, when he rolled 400 for the
Bethesda team against the Queen
Pins in the District Major League.
Bethesda won 81 with Santini as
the PAGER.
Improves With Age.
cit looks" observed Scorer John
Parise," as if Tony improves with
age. During the first month of
the season he averaged 121. After
the second month it was 1872.
After the third, 1913. Tonight,s S
400 boosted him to 1874"
Six months of the season re-
main. If Santini maintains his
rate of progress. whoever wins the
District League championship will
need an average of at least 130.
But it. isn't likely to be Santini.
He'd have to top the best average
of his career, rolled 10 seasons
ago. That was the time Tony
rolled the top average in the
country-128-but was ranked
only third because two other
bowlers rolled more games. Under
the National Duckpin Congress
system of rating total number of
games figured. Nick Pave of
that season was ranked
No. l and MacCarboni of Connec-
ticut, No. 2.
Many bowlers have outshone
Santini in overall average but
only a few in winning tourna-
ments, possibly none in the WASH
ington area.

New Free Throw Rule Upheld
|ByHeod of Basketball Coaches

IT don't know whether this new
rule is going to decrease the
number Of fouls but I believe it is
q step in the right direction" he
said. adding:
Even though this has not been
mentioned in the scandals that
broke out in New York two years
ago. I am sure it would be much
more difficult under the present
rules for a team to shave points.
II think we will find the aver
age score Of a team will go up
from five to seven points per
game. and believe that the spec
tators will enjoy this game a lot
more under the present rules than
they have in the past"
Cost Of Penalty Increased.
According to his calculations, a
personal foul this year costs q
team one point - assuming a
player can make one out Of two
shots. Last year it was only six
tenths of point. on the basis that
most teams hit so per cent Of their
free throws.
$50 we have increased the pen
atty for the personal foul approx
mately four-tenths of point for
81 minutes. have eliminated the
declining of the free throw, and
should do away to a greater de-
gree with the stalling that is en-
ployed in the last part of the
game"

for a new Senate rule to curb the
