something along the line of last

the Illini, 67-64.
Briefly, here were the changes

/. All foul shots had to be taken.

to take the ball out Of bounds and
retain possession, instead Of shoot

2. A second shot was awarded

foul. either defensive or offensive.

Speeded Game, Yale Coach Says.
The ball remained in play If the
last foul shot was missed. It went
to the opposing team If the toss
was made.
Howard Hobson, Yale coach,
had this to say:
1T certainly didn't hurt the
game and made it faster, with a
better finish. There was the same
ball hawking. In my opinion. the
trial was very successful"
Harry A. Combes, coach of the
Big Ten champs from Illinois,
called the changes ''very fine"
"They had lot of merit from
the spectators standpoint and
took the pressure off the officials.
We experimental with the same
rule in the Big Ten two years ago
and liked It," he added.
Bill Morris. assistant coach at

was well balanced because
forced shooting Of all free throws
gives the team behind a chance
to catch up. while two shots on
all fouls in the final three min
