My plan will curb their scoring powI er, although these big fellows still will be able to control most rei bounds and Jump balls.' Drake's plan to be offered to the ' association, calls for a half circle marked off on each end of the court. This half moon figure will begin in the middle of the free throw line, three-feet from the bottom of the circle. It would run to two points al the end of tho court, totally embracing that patch of offensive territory usually worked with high scoring results by the huge centers. No player would be allowed in the territory for more than three seconds. Or, an alternate plan would find two 45 degree lines marked i from the edge of the free throw i lane Just three feet from the dr-1 MONEY! Would a cash loen of $25 or more la-ip you?

"It would keep the big guy* out of their favorite territory,” Drake suitl. •'they'd have to be better shot* to work outside of the urea, and there would be made emphasis on ball handling, mapped out plays and team speed." The sooner coach added that the suggestion would not he a disadvantage to teams which rely on the zone defenses because they still could have th<-ir zone men In the usual spots. Nuch a three second ruling would not be new. but rather an extension of the present rule affecting the free throw lane The big centers now loaf just outside of the lane for their* shots. • - - - o- — — Bears Tie Hershey In Hockey Standing By United Pre** The Buffalo llieon* rqueezi d in a last p'-riod goal to tie New Haven 2 11 2. last night and pull even with the H< re hey Bea-* iu the eastern division of the American Hotkey league Vic Lynn scored the tying go*'.
