CIIINON. FRANCE.
mrs. G. H.. Washington

A reader asked recently for
some information about Chi
non, France. Chinon is q small
city in the area Of the Loire
Valley. which is famous for It's
mild climate, its scenery and
the very good French accent Of
its inhabitants. AS far as
housing is concerned, it is al
ways difficult to get a house
or apartment in France, except
If the army provides it for
you. II you have a car, you
may rent a house in some viii
lage in the vicinity and you
may find a very nice, we'll
built old place, large rooms,
etc., but without heat and hot
water, and you will have to
have them installed. How
ever, in such a case, rent would
probably be insignificant. USu-
ally rents are lower in France
than in the States, but when
houses are equipped as they
are in the States rents are
about the same. If you look
for a place to rent, get in
touch with the local notarieS,
who are legal advisers and real
estate men and highly respect
ed professionals.
Don't bring your TV for
there are no channels avail
able that far from Paris and
moreover the American nv
sets are not built to receive the
French broadcasts. But do
bring electrical equipment
washing machine, steam iron,
toaster, mixer, etc. since SIM
liar appliances are much more
expensive in France. Bring
your radio, photograph or
pick up, your records. your
typewriter, your recording or
calculating machines If you
have any. It is not necessary
to bring any furniture since
you may find easily whatever
is needed.

CHICAGO, Mar. 17.-You get
the impression that Kid Gavilan,
probably the best fighter in the
world, pound for pound. feels a
little sorry for Bobo Olson, be-
cause Bobo has to fight him.
Hes a nice fellow" Gavilan
said on arriving in Chicago last
night for a tWo-day round of
ceremonies. II have no hard
feelings for him.
I'm gonna lick him, though.
I'm real fighter, you know. Bobo,
I think he punches not very
good"
The Cuban Kid, already well
terweight champion, goes after
Olson's middleweight crown in
a Chicago Stadium bout April 2.
Gavilan made a point of ex-
planning to reporters why Olson
has to take a licking.
Il can beat all those middle
weights" he declared. II al
ready beat a lot of them. Some
times I weigh 10 pounds lower,
too. Now ! weigh heavy-154.
So much better.
"I'm underdog? Good. Second
time we fight. I be topdog.
How I fight him? Don't know.
I know the first round. After
that, easy.
i've seen him fight. He comes
in all the time. So much better.
] look good. I hit him six, seven
times every time he comes near.
Saves me trouble going to him.
HE won't hurt me. He's not
strong boy"
Having explained all this, Gavi-
Ian fastened to tell his listeners
that there was nothing personal
in it.
Its like this" he said. I'm a
sport you have no bad feeling.
Two men want to fight each
other, it's all right. / try hard.
He try hard. No reason for hard
feeling"
Meanwhile, Olson left San
Francisco last night for Chicago,
confident he will keep his title
in the Gavilan bout.
Manager Sid Flaherty said he
has had Olson working on an
inside right which he hopes will
counteract Gavilan's famed holo
punch. a.

New Rules on FouIinq
Urged as Basketball
Coaches Assemble
By the Assoeia,sd Press

KANSAS CITY. Mar. 1.-THE
men who teach basketball in the
Nations colleges assemble here
today, and the No. problem is
what to do about the rules of
the game.
The three-day annual conven-
ton of the Nationals Basketball
Coaches Association opens to-
morrow. But there is q dinner
tonight. and most Of the $50
coaches will be checking in by
nightfall.
The coaches don't make the
rules. They only make sugges-
tions to the National Rules Com
m:ttee, which meets here Sun
day.
Many Of the coaches don't
like the present rules on fouling,
and they are convinced the pay
ing customers don't like them
either.
Changes to Be Proposed.
At least two definite changes
will be proposed. one by Eddie
Hickey of st. Louis University,
president of the association, and
the other by Howard Hobson of
Yale.
There is too much intentional
fouling. free throwing and STALL
Ing" Hobson said recently, land
the fans don't like the free throw
and the freeze"
The Yale coach has a three
point program.
l. A 30-second time limit in
which the team with the ball
has to shoot for the basket.
2. Two-shot penalties on all
defensive fouls.
3. Widening of the free-throw
lane from 10 to IL feet as now
used by the National Basketball
Association and in international
competition. This is supposed
to cut down the height ad-
vantage of the big players.
May Support Widened Lane.
The widened lane idea may
get some place. Hobson isn't
likely to receive much support
on his other points.
Hickey's proposal is much
more complicated. 1t is aimed
at replacing the present zone
and one" foul shooting rule.
l. Allow a player to stay in
the game regardless of the
number of fouls (the rule now
says five and OUT.
2. Every foul after three would
be called an excessive foul"
3. For the first three regular"
fouls go back to the old rules
one shot whether made or missed
and two shots if the player
fouled was shooting.
4. For an excessive foul"
award one free throw and two
more if the player makes the
first one. If the player misses
the first free throw give him just
one more. If the player was
shooting and made the goal give
him one free throw and a second
one If he makes the first. If he
was shooting for the basket and
missed give him two free throws
plus a third if he makes the
first.

cideS as usual with the final
round of four in the National
Collegiate basketball champion
ships. The semifinal games will
be played Friday with Bradley
meeting Southern California in

Penn State in the nightcap. The
final game, at 10 pm. (EST)
