Young Gerry Stair, a postman,
is carrying the mail for the
Silent Sales team which leads
the District Major League. A
week ago. he saved the leaders
from a whitewashing- at the
hands of the onrushing Rex
Engraving Co. by tossing a
triple strike and spare in sue
cession for a game>of 1873. His
set was 448.
Last night he was sharp
shooter again, with a set of 403,
when Silent Sales chung to a one

1865 and Mandes, 376, last night,
they deadlocked for the lead at

Lions Return
To Friendly Ice
After Road Loss

Back in the friendly confines
of Uline Arena, the Lions will at
tempt to start another winning
streak against Clinton in an
Eastern Hockey League match
starting at $3.50 O'Clock tonight.
The Lions won five in a row
before losing their last two. but
both these losses were admin
Iistered on the road. which has
been rough enough to cost Wash
Iington the lead position.
The Lions are winging along
lat an 800 pace at home with
ieight victories in 10 starts, but
on the road they have been able
to salvage only two wins in nine
matches. They lost in Philadel-
Iphia last night, So, as Art Dor
rington. an ex-teammate, led
1.-THE way against them with three
goals.
After FIVE weeks of activity,
Philadelphia is the only team
mot in the thick of the battle for
second place. If this pattern is
followed throughout the re-
lmainder of the season, the Lions,
Baltimore. JohnStown and Gin
ton will wind up struggling for
three playoff berths. The other
would go to New Haven, which
continues to hold first place by a
fair margin.
The Lions aren't buying that
pattern. They figure to overtake
New Haven. which currently
holds a three-game bulge over
the Washington and Baltimore
clubs. Baltimore plays at Johns
town tonight.
The Rapblers last night spot
ted the Lions a goal In the first
20 seconds by Dan Morgan on a

Trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsim-
mons two titleholders for the
second consecutive year, Earlier
the secretaries of the 40 Thor

pion 3-year-old colt.
A year ago Nashua was chosen
champion 2-year old colt while
High Voltage, also trained by
Sunny Jim, received a majority
of the ballots as best 2-year-old

The IRA selection board gave
Misty Morn 80 votes. the other
10 going to High Voltage.

12-Foot Foul Lanes
Praised, Criticized
By College Coaches
.AP Wirephoto,


KANSAS CITY, Mar. 22.-The
National Basketball Rules Com
mittee once again has changed
cage regulations, bringing varied
comment from the men who have
to put them into effect.
Some coaches liked the re-
visions, others frowned on them.
The committee came up with
these two major alterations yes
terday:
/. The bonus free throw rule
will apply to the full playing time
of a game. 1t permits a second
free throw if. the first one is
made. The bonus toss was used
in the past season but did not
apply in the last three minutes
of a game; all fouls in the three
minutes were two-shot violations
2. Free throw lanes will be
widened from six to IL feet.
Coach Bebe Lee of Colorado
said he liked both changes but
Ken Loeffler of La Sale said he
didn't like ANY part" of the
wider lanes decision.
Means More Zone Defense
I've been for the bonus rule
all along" said Lee, whose team
defeated Iowa for third place in
the NCAA tournament last week
end. I'm sure the wider lane
will take away a good many of
those cheap baskets after missed
free throws"
Loeff1er said the change in the
bonus rules didn't make any diff
ference to him, but added:
Widening lanes means more
zone defense than ever, and ]
don't like the zone defense"
Loefner's team lost to San
Francisco in the NCAA tourney
finals.
Coach Ed Hickey of st. Louis
University commended the Rules
Committee, and commented:
Il can see where the wider
lanes will tend to put a big en-
phasis on the zone defense, but
overall I'm very satisfied"

ing ball handler Cherberg was
counting on to lift Washington

of the Hugh McElhenny-Don
Heinrich period. was strictly on
the doubtful list, to say the least.
Cox, without notifying the
Huskies' coaching staff, turned
up quietly at Yakima yesterday
and told Don Carlson. a friend
of long standing. that he was
going to enroll at Minnesota.
Carlson, a trainmaster for the
Northern Pacific Railroad, said
Cox took a 2:40 am. eastbound
train from Yakima. Carlson for
merly lived In Minnesota but he
said he didn't influence Cox to
make a change. "Cox made up
his own mind" Carlson added.
In Seattle, Harvey Cassill,
University of Washington ath-
letic director, indicated that he
might have a few unkind words
to say about Minnesota to the
NCAA If certain circumstances
prevailed.
Cassill, after talking with Min

who said:

The phrase that intrigued, and
angered, Cassill was Cox initi-

"It is common courtesy and
general practice among the bet
ter schools" Cassill said some
what caustically. that when an
athlete writes to a coach or
school authority regarding the
possibility of transferring, that
the school inform the athletes
coach, giving the coach a chance
to straighten out whatever diff
culties the boy may have"
Cassill would not reveal what
line his conversation with Arm

the Minnesota official as saying
if "Cox is headed for Mime
sofa, I know nothing about it"
Carlson would not discuss the
reasons for Cox'S sudden switch
of athletic allegiances other
than to say Cox, who played
prep ball at Walla Walla, Wash,
was mot happy at Washington. y
Cox, who took over the job of
calling the signals for the Hus-

when Sandy Lederman was in

He completed Sc of 146 at
