FAVOR CHANGES IN BASKETBALL National Coaches Heavily In Favor Os Dropping Tip-Off Chtcagii, Mar. 17 (U.R) Basket-' ball rule makers met today to consider removing the center jump from the cage code governing every | college, prep school. Y.M.C.A., and backyard pickup game in the nation. Sentiment favoring this most j drastic change in 46 years was reported overwhelming after the ' national coaches association recon -1 mended the jump be curbed. Their I vole was 60 to 9 most of the opposition coming from the deep south. In addition to the coaches’ support was a sheaf of questionnaires reporting the attitude of 1.600 hand-picked experts from every btanch of basketball. Approximately 1.000 favored a reduction in the number of jumps at center. "Backers of the proposal could have gained enough support to pass it last year, but we agreed to wait at least another year before approving a major change like this." said Henry V. Porter of the rules committee. “The vote was about 50-50 in 1936. Any sort of majority is • enough to carry the measure," he i said The committee also will consider two other suggestions endorsed by the coaches. 1. That the three-second rule be applied only in front of the free throw line, thus reviving the effective pivot play. 2. That the offended team may decline its free throws after a personal or technical foul and place the ball in play at the side of the court. Two of the recommendations will eliminate much of the roughhousing that has crept into basketball. Reducing the number of center jumps to one at the start of each half, the overtime period and after double or technical fouls will cut down the bruising body contact around center forty or fifty times a game. The change affecting free throws will relieve congestion around the foul circle if the offended team elects to take the ball out of

bounds. Harold G. Olsen of Ohio State, I chief backer of the jumpless game l ln the successful drive to remove it from the Big Ten code, exi plained the rising popularity of high speed basketball was due to 'the fait too many big men were kept on the squads "merely to eon- , trol the tip." "We can eliminate most of our freakishly tall centers under the I new Big Ten rule and give the spectators a game they'll like even better." he said. "There still is plenty of room for big men on I rebound shots."
