Basketball Rules Widely Condemned NEW YORK (INS) — Seldom, if ever, has there been a basketball season when the rules of the game were, more loudly and widely condemned than they have Keen this year*. X- Primarily, fans, players and coaches alike have objected to the "bonus” foul rule, which in a single season of existence has proved to place an undue value on the free throw. Another popular target is the “freeze,” something that |s not new by any means but has become increasingly irksome since the professionals put in their 24second “shoot-or-else” regulation. From a welter of opinion, complaint and suggestion, the National Basketball Committee will attempt to sift, before next season rolls around, workable changes and additions that may restore some sense to what has become a crazy, mixed-up sport. It won’t be an easy job. In fact, the basketball people have an odd situation from the outset because the same committee sets the rules for colleges, high schools, the AAU and YMCA teams in the U. S. and Canada. Howard Hobson, Yale coach and a veteran member of the rulemaking body, points out that-the high school representatives probably would oppose a shooting time limit because of the considerable cost of installing extra clocks. Many high school courts are too narrow, also, to permit consideration of repeated suggestions that the free throw lanes be widened from six feet to 12. It eould be that such fundamental problems may cause different college and high school standards to eome into being, such as now exist in football. Hobson said: “We should not let the high schools dictate college rules.” Although the bonus foul shot has found some supporters, Hobson joins what seems to be the overwhelming majority in condemning the 1954-55 rule, which grants another shot if the first one is made. “Too many games are being won at the foul line,” said Hobson. The Yale coach suggests one free throw for all defensive fouls. He’d do away with charity shots on fouls by the offensive team, merely charging the violation against the player and giving the other team possession of the ball out so bounds. — Color television experiments date back-4ems early as 1928.

Trade in a Good Town — Decatur 7 OIOH'T 00 IT" Can a person be punished for what he didn’t do? Yes, indeed, one can be punished for what he didn’t do. In fact, that's the only thing Jesus mentioned, when he talked about how the Judgment of the Last Day would go: -He said people would go to bell for what they didn’t do. You can find it in Matthew 25: “I was hungry, and you gave me no food. I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink...’’. Read it in Matthew 25 if you’ve forgotten. Possibly your greatest sins are in the things which you should / have done, but did not. But also our greatest joy comes from some things we didn't do! We didn’t keep God’s law, but Jesus did. We didn’t pay for our sins, but Jesus did. We didn't go to hell, but Jesus suffered the pains of hell for us. We didn't do it — but Jesus did! And because He did, heaven . is ours! - ■ Upon a life I did not live, Upon a death I did not die, Upon what Jesus did for me I stake my whole eternity. That is the message of our Lenten services. Please come. COME — WORSHIP WITH US. ’ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH W. Monroe at 11th St. TWO WEDNESDAY LENT SERVICES 7:00 and 8:15 P. M.

William Snider at Union Chapel church Monday evening, was "An Uncompromising and Complete Consecration." The scripture lesson was read from Exodus 10:16-29. Rev. Snider brought to mind the history of the people of Israel as they were held in bondage by Pharaoh, and the many promises made by him to the Israelites. “As time went by Pharaoh hardened his heart against God and his promises did not mean a thing. We too, cannot harden our hearts against God and prosper. Today so many of us want a religion that does not cost us anything. Man cannot live for God and self pt the same time. There is no such a thing as compromise in pure religion. “Later we see Moses and Aaron standing before Pharaoh and he is speaking to thqpi ip the Voice of ‘ a compromise. Egypt is symbolic of the world in that people were dwelling in darkness, bondage and misery. It was a time of crisis for Hie Israelites. Today a crisis greater than the atomic bomb is a soul without Christ. As has been stated several times before that we can only be saved as the spirit comes and convicts us of our sins. Pharaoh is a type of the devil. He lied to the people of Israel, was a hard taskmaster and a deceiver. One of the tricks of Satan today is to cause the people of the church to lose confidence in each other. So Pharaoh offered to compromise with Moses. He offered Moses four compromises. First, they could worship anyplace they wanted to, if they stayed within the bounds of Egypt. Second, they could worship in the wilderness, .pny do not go very far away. Third they would go a three-days journey, but they were to leave their families behind. Fourth, they could go a three days journey, could take their families, but leave the cattle behind." Services will continue tonight at 7:30 o’clock. ADMITS LYING (Continued from Page One) ary” for testifying and not merely tlie nine dollars a day in witness fees which is routine—in_ such cases.

Subcommittee chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) snapped: "If you can remember t h o s g names day after tomorrow, why can't you remember, them now?” Matusow replied that the names were in an address book in New York.
