Rupp Blasts Cage Rules,
Saws Pros Are Far Ahead

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. "a
@.-The collegiate basketball
powers are resting between Sc
mesters, but outspoken Adolph
Rupp, coach of fifth-ranked
Kentucky. is still on the attack
Rupp, never one to let sue
cess stop the search for i'm
provement. has leveled a blast
at rules he feels cut spectator
interest.
He believes professional baS-
ketball is way ahead of the
colleges in progressive rules and
! predict the next great develop
ment and growth in sports will
be that of professional basket
ball. It has been forced to make
progressive rule changes to hold
spectator interest.
One rule Rupp would have the
colleges pick up from the pros
is the 24-second limit on ball
possession before a team takes
q shot.
But the change he wants most
Is elimination of the bonus free
throw-where a player Is given
Q second free throw for making
the first.
THE bonus free throw must
go-it has no place in a COM
petitive game" he said in out
lining suggestions he has made
to the NCAA.
1.-THE Big Ten has taken not
only q sensible but a progressive
step to clean up this cheap way
Of winning a game" Rupp said.
He referred to the Big Tens
"six-foul" rule. This disallows
the bonus free throw on the first
six fouls committed by a team
in each half.
when one-half Of the score
In a game Is from free throws,
it's time to check on the spec
tator interest,"" Rupp said. THE
delay in the game and the
parade from one end of the floor
to the other has little appeal"
"I1l go along with the Big
Ten with six or eight fouls per
half before bonus free throw
is given" Rupp said. That will
encourage good defensive play"
Actually. he would like to go
even further:
II have advocated for years
that an offensive foul be only
penalized by loss of the ball. a
defensive foul be penalized with
one free throw unless in the act
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-24

mark didn't strike me as an in
credible feat.
II have an idea that If had
broken the record, Greenberg
might have bettered my mark.
But, as ] look at it, it's diff
ferent today. The modern player
is impressed by the fact that
the record has existed for 80
years. So he has some doubts
whether it's humanity possible to
break it. And if he appears
to be getting close. as Mickey
Mantle did last season. the
strain on him becomes terrific
! imagine any player who gets
to the so mark these days has
trouble sleeping the rest of the
season.
There's another thing to be
considered, too. I'll bet there
isn't a pitcher in the game who
would throw the pitch that
might be hit for a 60th home
run If he could possibly help 1t.
I'm other words, if a batter
has SO with two or three games
to go. ! feel certain he'd never
get another good pitch to
swing at"

Foxx Says Ruth S Record
Grows Safer Every Year
Renville McMann,

BOSTON. Jan. "a (R).-Babt
Ruth's record of so home
runs in a season is getting harder
to break each year it stands. in
the opinion Of Jimmy Foxx. who
with Hank Greenberg came clos
est to Ruth's production at So
homers.
Foxx, coach Of the Miami
(Fla.) University baseball team
made his observations on briei
visit here.
"Oh, / wouldn't be surprised
to see a player come along one
day and hit more than co." said
Foxx, who starred with the Ath-
letics and Red Sox.
Most other old records have
been broken and there's no rea-
son for thinking the home run
record will be an exception" he
continued. But ! feel that every
year the record survives. the
harder 1t will be to better it.
AT least. I'll say that If and
when it is broken. the player who
does it will deserve a lot more
credit than ! would have il ! had
smashed it in my big year.
you must remember that
when Ruth set the so mark
he was merely breaking his own
record Of SO. He was under no
particular pressure. Remember
too, that when ! hit So, Ruth
was still playing. ! was working
under the theory that II I hit
81. the Babe might come back

the USLTA, urged delegates at
the annual meeting in Chicago
not to get "panicky" and to take
a long, hard look at the overall
situation. Nothing is the matter
with our tennis or our program, /"
he said. There are a few things
we may want to do or correct
but basically we are sound all
the ways
Here's the present situation:
With Ken Rosewall now q
professional. Australia still has
the outstanding amateur in the
world in Lew Hoad, who likely
will join the pro ranks after the
next campaign. Below that, the
Australians actually are in not
much better shape--if any
than the Americans.
Behind Rosewall and Hoad,
who won the Davis Cup three
of the last four years, the Aus
sizes have Neale Fraser, a good
looking lefthander Of %; 20.
|year-old Ashley Cooper and two
young Queenslanders. Roy EN-
|erson and Nal Anderson, who
were nonplaying members Of
the last Davis Cup squad.
Present U. S. Outlook
On Americas side, there is
no need to count on Vic Seixas,
80, and Herb Flara, %, who
lost matches in the last chal-
lenge round. But coming UP are
Sammy Giammalva, the Texan
who was the individual sensa-
ton of Americas losing effort

In addition, the United States
has two veterans. Dick Savitt

compete.
I'VE still produce fine tennis
players" Bulge says. THE
trouble is. they have been turn

top. We don't have to worry
about the future"
