Cage Rules Discussed ‘Ten-Seconds’ and ‘ThreeSeconds’ Parts Cause * Arguments. BY VERN BOXELL “Ten seconds'’ and “three seconds"—lour harmless sounding ■words which are going to cause the gallant whistle-tooters plenty of trouble when big time basketball swings into the headlines. Os the new 1932-33 rules, these are the most drastic. Their purpose Is to bring back the slam-bang, swift-breaking style of play which lifted the cage pastime from Just a sport to one of the country's leading and mast popular games. L. w. St. John of Ohio State, chairman of the national rules committee, gave a lengthy Interpretation of the new code before a large crowd of officials, coaches and fans at Butler fieldhouse Thursday night. Rule Is Given And after he had completed his lecture, and Tony Hinkle and his Butler Bulldogs had put on a demonstration, the arguments really started. It is apparent that more such meetings will be necessary before the desired uniformity in officiating is reached. The ten-second rule, as stated in the rule book, follows: When t teem sains possession of the ball 1n Its own back court, that team must advance the ball over the center line within a period of ten seconds unless the ball, while out of control of the team, touches or Is touched bv an opponent. In the latter event, anew plav resulta and the ten-seconds period begins again when possession of the ball is regained In the back court. When a team has advanced the ball over the center line this tesm mav not return the ball to ita back court until. ill A try for goal has been made; or 12) A Jump ball at center or elsewhere has taken place: or. <3i An out-of-bounds award haa been made; or, Hi The ball has been recovered from the possession of the opponents. When a team gains possession of the ball In Its front court as a result of (li. i2i. <3 l or (♦. It mav cause the ball to 4 go back over the center line once only. Penalty Failure to comply with the provisions of this section Is a violation and the ball shall be awarded to the opponents out of bounds, on the side, opposite the point where the violation occurs, except that If A team returns the ball to its back court Illegally and the ball Is first touched In the back court by an opponent, play shall continue. Touching the center line shall be construed ss "over" as In out-of-bounds decisions. None of the provisions of Section 8 apply to courts less than sixty feet long. Note When a team has been awarded the ball out of bounds, the ten-second count begins at the Instant the ball Is passed into the court. If the ball Is lying on the court in possession of neither team and neither team makes an effort to gain possession, the ball must be played by the team In whose back court the ball lies. After allowing this team sufficient time to gain possession of the ball, the referee (or umpire) shall begin the ten-second count. The referee lor umpire) should count silently and It Is suggested that the following method of counting seconds be used: "One-thousand-one. one-thousand-*tc-. If Player passes the center ths &•* been passed into the H the latter then passes the ball t# a teammate who is touching the center line, the ball has been passed Into the back court. In other words, the cent.#r line is Jn the front court or back court, accordlnff to the position from which the ban is thrown. The three-second rule deals with the center pivot play, in which the ball Is handled Inside the foul circle by an offensive player. He must

Gilbert Rides Two Winners By Timet Special BOWIE, Md., Nov. 22—Johnny Gilbert. 19-ycar-old Kansas jockey, was only two winners behind Hank Mills in the race for American riding honors today. The brilliant youngster booted home two victors here Monday and barely missed-a triple when he finished second with Wishing Star in the sixth race. Monday's triumphs, scored on Brave and Bold in the third race and Khorasan, an outsider, in the fourth, ran Gilbert's victories to 180 since Jan. 1.

Jeby Thumps Chick Devlin Bp United Prett NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Ben Jeby of New York became one of the four leading middleweight contenders Monday night by winning a fifteenround decision over Chick Devlin of California at St. Nicholas arena. This victory entitles Jeby to be ranked with Marcel Thil of France, Vince Dundee and Frankie Battaglia as the outstanding aspirants for Mickey Walker s vacated crown. Jeby won nine rounds to Devlin’s siSc. He almost knocked out the westerner in the fifth round when he dared Devlin with a short left jolt to the jaw. • r " ■ ■ ■ pass it to a team-mate or shoot before three seconds. Just as bitter as the argument over interpretation of the rules Is the debate regarding their worth. And it all simmers down to these points: For 1. Will stop stalling in the back court. 2. Will discourage stalling In front court. 3. Will speed up the game. 4. Action is pleasing to the spectators. 5. Action is pleasing to the players. 8. Will gain respect for the game. 7. Will Increase interest. 8. Will give all players a chance. 9. Will not affect materially the plav of a team that has been playing aggressive offensive basketball. 10. Will not eliminate set plays because ten seconds is ample time to get in position. 11. The game is balanced, offense and defense, as far as floor area is concerned one-half to each team. 12. The rules are uniform In states, high schools, colleges, universities, Y. M. C. A. s. amateur organizations, etc. Against 1. Will make game too strenuous, 2. Insufficient area for set plays. 3. Increases officiating. 4. Will congest players on too little area. 5. Will increase fouling. . Will increase injuries7. Rule favors defense. \ 8. Close contact game will give big man Increased advantage. 9. Will result In massed defenses back near the basket. 10. Will necessitate two wavs of playing as the rule does not apply to courts less than sixty feet. Any way you look at it, if the new rules achieve their object, the fans will get a '‘run’’ for their money—in fact, plenty of it.
