Koegan, Trester Air Cross - Views On Basketb

IRISH MENTOR URGES SIMPLER RULING SYSTEM Trester And Koegan Are Grossed On Stalling And Definition “B asketball is a great game and always will remain as| such, provided school author-1 jt’es and faculty committees' permit coaches and those dos-' er to the gam eto regulate the game.” declared George Koegan, head basketball coach at! Notre Dame University at the I annual banquet of the North- I eastern Indiana Officials Asso-' ration held last night at thei Anthony hotel. Fort Wayne. '

More than 200 ofieials. coaches| and principals of Indiana high: schools attended the affair and h ard discussions of the game by Koegan, Arthur L. Trester, athletic! commissioner of the I. 11. S. A. A., i Stanley Feasel, ranking conference" basketball official, K. V. Ammer-! man. manager of the Indiana state high school basketball tourney and i Oth rs. Two great schools of basketball ‘ thought clashed in the addresses of Koegan and Trester and opinion was about evenly divided in the' audience. Koegan. who was the chief speaker at the annual affair challenged i Trester’s definiticn of "stalling"! and placed the responsibility of playing the game on the losing, team. He also urged a simplification of the code of rules and stated that there were only about a half dozen important rules including' blocking, charging, double dribble, travelling. The Metre Dame mentor, who has built a great basketball machine at the northern Indiana institution in the last eight years, told of many t. icks of psychology which had won games for the Irish. Trester brought out two points during his half hour’s discussion <f the game. He defended the officials in athletic contests stating that it was a hard job to please two very partisan coaches and two partisan groups of fans. He urged, cooperation of fans and schools' with the officials and sccrned the fact that some officials worked a, game with the idea of returning to that school for more games, by favoring the home team. The other point which Trester' attacked viciously was stalling during a basketball game. While the Indiana czar’s idea cf stalling was not universally agreed on. his thought was that both teams should accept some responsibility when stalling occurs. Ammerman spoke chiefly to the officials and his chief point was their conduct before, during and after a baskehall game. Feasel explained the new rules in effect this season and demonstrated several of the rulings. Other state officials were introduc d during the evening. Gun-

TWO TEAMS TO ! MEET TESTS , Chicago. Nov. 11. 'J.R- North1 western and Michigan, the Big ■Ten's two unbeaten championship iccntenders, ar likely to face their I most trying conference tests of th? s ason this week, witn defeat threatening one and perhaps both, | Northwestern hasn't be -n extend ed in winning its four conference games from Ohio State. Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana, but Wis consia is a real menac - to the! Wildcats’ hi pes for their second" I Big Ten title in sone 3.) years of! competition. Michigan has pulled through one; i conference victory by the narrow jest margins, defeating Purdue, 1-1-1 i 13, but Minnesota's powerful team ] promises to extend th Wolverines to the limit < f thei rseemingly in- ' ’exh-inr:aide re our<e. If Northwestern wins and Mich-|

igpn loses. Northwestern will win undisputed possession of the title. If both win, they undoubtedly will ■ I tie for tae title as Michigan has' only to defeat Chicago’s inf rior j | team te complete the season with-l j out defeat. Wisconsin is North-! ■western’s last conference oppon-l | ent. If both Northwestern and Mich-; igan should happen to lose. Pnrdu- ' is almost certain to retain the title, as the Boilermakers have won fi ur, games and lost only one and are .favored to win their final confer ) i ence game with Indiana n xt week. Purdue has six conference games.! one more than either Northwestern lor Michigan, and would finish with a higher p-rcentage if the two; ! save rites lost this week. The Northwestern - Wisconsin ) I game at Dyche field promises to be, i cne of the best of the season in this region. Coach Glenn Thistbth- ■ waite has been pointing his ram ■ -for the Northwestern game sincei j the Badge: s were eliminated from! I the running by Purdue, 7-6. , The Wisconsin team has been the big disappi intment of the! season. Equipped w ith many of I I the leading individual players in! 1 this section. Wisconsin has found i I itself. Milo Lubratovich. powerful! ' tackle, Capt. Cantenbein, formidable end. Buckets Goldenberg, , quarterback and defensive star. and Redholzen Lusby and Behr.; j backs, are among the best individual playets in the Big Ten. Wisconsin has lost only cne! game—that by one point—and play-) ed a scoreless tie with Ohio State. The impression prevails in many ! 'quartets that Minnesota will stop Michigan. Minnesota has a pair of backs that may riddle any defense., i They are Jack Manders, a rugged fullback who is destined to follow I in the footsteps of his pr dec ssors. Herb Joesting and Bronko Nagurski, and Ken McDougal. 140-pound speedster who ran 50 yards for a touchdown through the entire Northwestern team. I Tad Weiman, former Michigan coach, is now Minnesota line coach and he is understood to have built a special defense to stop Harry . Newman’s touchdown passes. As

George Koegan. famed net men'or o’’ Notre Dame University brought out many points from a coache's side of the everlasting

irgument of rules and who actuals' should make the rules in basketball. Arthur Trester. supreme ruler of Indiana high school basketball forwarded his opinions on the same questions—and all in all it was a great evening. K. V. Ammerman, principal of Broadripple high school and chairman of the annual state tourney I carried home with force some ideals that all coaches should maintain. There’s no question in our mind the Northeastern Indiana offeia's aren’t perfect, but they're as close to the Eureka of prefectness that they'll match any group in the country. Still they come in for plenty of fresh raspberries every season Sea’on ticket reservation is in prepress at both Decatur hioh schools.

BEAT MONROEVILLE. Principal W. Guy Brown stated today that there were 10 first-class | season seats left at Decatur high , school gymnasium — and a very few’ second class seats — Today wiiill be your last chance to get a season ticket, and if you haven't a year-round card —it looks like you won’t get into about half the home games. Let's boost both the Commodores and Yellow Jackets and give the boys soipe real support—— Coach Curtis will tackle three teams next Friday in the Yellow Jacket opener — Woodburn. Jefferson and Pleasant Mills — Looks I t'ke it would be some work-out. It’s been a great grid season —A lot of bad officials have gotten i worse and a lot of good ones have I gotten—the jobs. The meeting last night brought together some of the

spate's best officials — Reno, Yarnell, Geller, Chambers, Cleary, Elliott, Feasel, Vandiver, Tudor, and a dozen more have state ranking and any of them have the ability to work a state tourney. This man Koegan at Notre Dame is a real personality. To know him is to get a better understanding of why Notre Dame ■ wins basketball games. He carries no chips on his shoulders — but he calls a nickel a nickel, and minces no words. The bin thing with Mr. Koegan is to simplify the rules to an extent that officials can understand them. And after all no one can doubt . his correctness on the theory that j coaches should make the rules. And after a fine time and a lot of fun Footbawls is saying goodbye until next year. o p°°TRALI.

Spirit, reaching and ’ material, put them in whatever order you i choose, spell victory for Notre Da me. Huddled in a blanket on tlie Irish bench at the Penn game, surround- | ed by stalwart South Bend substi-| I tutes, I took nearly as much of a ■ | beating as the U. of P. hoy, during , the epening minutes of play. These 200 pounders around me were in" every play, like a prize fighter’s! second during an exciting round. They heaved against me. digging ; with elbows and knees, champing ' down leg cleated slues, taking out i Pennsylvania interferers, playing, the game themselves.

Finally, aft r a series of Notre , i Dame touchdowns had relieved the! tension, the boys around me eased up. and I was able to analyze a little, to list n to Ro< kne's instrucitions to his players and observe | just how an Irish squad carries on i during the 60 minutes of battle. One thing war made clear at the | start. Knute Rockne teaches h's boys their football during the we°k. : On Saturdays, they have to play it i for themselves. There is net "master minding" from the Irish bench while the game is on. Any "inside ! football" is played between the , side-lines. The Notre Dame dressing room before the game is a dim recess in under the towering stands, with nervous priests and South Bend enthusiasts on guard at the entrances and a strained silence in which you could hear a pair ( f those silk foot- | ball pants drop. Th a players 101 l i around, waiting in the semi-dark- ! ness. Then Rockne enters. Through "th? half opened door, a burst of I cheering announces Penn is on the ! field. The coach starts to speak, sharpjly. incisively, clipping h’s words as his voice rises. He is touching! ■ the spark to the explosion. Ji I "All right!" he barks. “On your .
