Of the way today's game is
played. He just completed four
years on the high school rules
committee of the National As
sociation Of Basketball Coaches.
It was his Job to report recon-
mendations. for rules changes
from this area.
In his last report Kupka rec
commended the adoption of the
12-foot lane, a return to the
ruling that gives a team the ball
out of bounds after that team
is awarded foul shot and the
installation of paid scorers and
timers from the officials asso-
citation.
Kupka personally would like
to see colleges and high schools
copy three pro rules: The Ia
foot lane, the back-court foul
and the 24-second limit. These
changes, Kupka is convinced,
would eliminate three Of amateur
basketbalrs most irksone phases.
The wider lane would open up
the middle to permit more driv-
ing. That's what the fans want
to see. !" Tony claims.
Awarding d team two foul
shots when 1t is iouled in its
own back court would tend to
do away with the full-court
press. Al game. especially in
high school, often resembles a
panic when either team turns
on the press.
The 24-second rule. which re-
quires team to take q shot
during that span. would elirn-
mate the freeze" and keep the
game relatively uninterrupted by
fouling toward the end.
These rules changes make
sense, and it is likely that you
will find more backing given
them in the high schools than
In colleges. The reason, Of
course. is that college officials
would rather not admit that the
professionals came up with q
good idea FIRST.

ka clearly prefers the high

He mentions one Of his own
players as an excellent example.
AS a sophomore last year Lew
Luce broke the Interhigh League
scoring record By two points In
the last game Of the regular
schedule, Later that day zeke
Zirkle of Anacostia finished two
points higher than Luce with
204 in eight games.
Elgin Baylor Of Spingarn
made another scoring race q joke
last winter by averaging 36.1
points per game in the Inter-
high Division II circuit. Baylor's
single-game high was SO points
against Phelps.
That mark Is eclipsed only by
George O'Connor of the 1920
Gonzaga team, If you want to go
back that far. O'Connor poured
in rs points during a 1920 de-
feat of st. John S. which. we
