“New Basketball Rules Should Aid Both Offense and Defense; Additional Center Circle, Time-Out = Period - Among Changes. .
Gs when you think you've mastered the new football
rules, the season comes to an end and basketball starts.
.. And then you've got to start learning new rules. 1 don’t know whether they change rules just to add variety to the game or to make it tougher for the pay-at-the-door boys. But it does bother you a little. oe Remember the circles painted on all the basketball floors? Well, this year the basketball bosses have ordered a
. new set of circles drawn on the courts. This one you can -step into, and that one you can’t. It’s all sort of baffling.
But as a matter of fact, it is a wise move. To end crowding at the center circle on tip-offs, and the accompanying upper-cutting and rib-bruising, the men who know have tossed in the extra circle in an atfempt to open up the game from the very beginning. You probably remember a year or so back when it was quite the heroic thing for a dashing little forward to get a
‘good running start just before the tip-off, and come crash-
ing through the center circle to take the ball from the center. There will be no more such crashing. For no players except the two centers will be allowed within the center circle and "no one at all will be allowed within the new circle which is to be six feet around, surrounding the center circle, until the ball has been tapped. os ” ” HESE basketball rule men do funny things. First they pass a law to speed up the game. Then they pass another to slow it down. Perhaps they don’t do it on “purpose but it happens just the same. The second new rule for 1936-37 is one which annuls last year’s rule prohibiting substitutes from communicating ‘with other players before play 'is resumed. According to the new provision, a player may report, and his reporting must "be prompt, and piay must, be resumed immediately, but he is allowed to communciate with ‘his teammates before play starts. ; This rule should serve to speed up the game. A player reporting for substitution rarely does so without carrying into the game a certain amount of information which he is supposed to give his teammates. Now the sooner this
» s »
material reaches the players, the sooner it will be put into |
practice and usually a coach’s ideas help to pep up the gas, especially if his team is behind. ! Yet, in the next breath the rules designate that
whereas teams were allowed three time-outs before, this . ‘year they will have the privilege, without fear of penalty,
of having a fourth time-out. A fourth time-out should, in “many instances, serve as a further aid in staving off a last..minute rally, and also afford a tired team just that much more time to rest. 2 nn '#8 8s NDER the heading of personal fouls, an official interpreA tation has been placed on Rule 15, B. It i is to the effect that if a player is blocking a shot or in securing the ball from
.| an opponent, strikes the ball and at the same time touches the . opponent’s hand with that part of the hand below the wrist
*_joint, no other contact being made, the contact shall. not be but merely incidental to a legal attempt to play the ball. - This is going. to be particularly voiigh on the officials.
.. For it necessitates hair-line decisions on the very delicate - subject of hacking, which is like a x W nerve to most Indiana
“basketball fans. There is going to be plenty of criticism if I'm not misthe fans will not be able to see whether or not ining ‘hand of the defensive player touched his
“opponent above o or below the wrist. |
SRIDAY night was the first big one for state ‘high school 5 net teams. It was the first time since the inauguration of the grid season that basketball scores out-did the football =records. And here’s one almost good chough for the Book: : Last year in the state high scliool basketball finals at
tne, ‘Butler fieldhouse, Frankfort, in its first game of the ~day, played Anderson and won,
34 to 18. Friday night Frank-
“Fort defeated Anderson 34 to 20.
Well, Anderson isa ite better than last year, anyway.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Eleven players whose smashing, inspirational play stood out through the competition of the topsy-turvy 1936 gridiron campaign were named today on the United Press’ All-America football! team. : These 11 players—three from the Midwest, three from the Far West, two from the South, two from the East and one from the Southwest— were survivors of more than 250 players recommended by coaches, scribes, | scouts and players from coast fo coast. The flaming trademark of the United Press mythical All-America team is inspirational leadership under fire. Every member has the usual requisites of a great player—speed, power, durability, poise and mechani-
cal ability. But over and above these qualities each man proved an inspirational player, able to rise to the heights himself and lift his teammates along with him. Every member except one met defeat, but each knew how to take it and come back to greater glory in succeeding games.
Possess Great Spirit For example—Larry Kelley, Yale's dynamic end, rallying his mates from the brink of defeat to 26-23 victory over - Princeton; Sammy Baugh, crippled and hobbling on one leg, pitching touchdown passes for Texas Christian; John Lautar, Notre Dame’s fiery guard, lifting the Irish to stunning triumph over Army and | NortH ‘Francis, holding a Nebraska team together and staving off rout against Pittsburgh; Bob Herwig, California center, rallying his mates from three straight. defeats to a November power in the Far West; Ed Widseth, Minnesota's mig , leading the devastating charges in the Gophers’ smash- | ng triumphs

|Detton Defends Crown at
Armory Against Milo Steinborn.
: BY PHILLIPS PECK Once in a blue moon something probably occurs somewhere that spreads consternation and surprise at least, to take a mild view of the situation, among the ranks of what is technically referred to as heavy-
weight wrestling. Not often, mind,
you, but once in a while. However, tonight's wrestling card at the. Armory which presents Dean Detton of Salt Lake City, claimant of the heavyweight title, against Milo Steinborn of Germany, is not an incident that is calculated to result in any eyebrow-lifting among the “trade. ” * It’s all inv the day’s work—we use work for the want of a better term —+to members of the mat profession. But to the sport fans the show of-
fers rather an unusual attraction,
at least when compared to other branches of sport. Without attempting to set forth any brief for “rasslin,” it can be pointed out that few if any other
champions ply their trade as dili-|
gently, as whole-heartedly, and with such favorable results .as wrestlers of the present era. Unique: Setup Here's Detton appearing in an Indianapolis ring for the second time ‘within eight days and for the second time risking the title, which may not be quite so significant as being second assistant precinct committeeman, but nevertheless has enabled Dean and his manager Jack Washhurn to keep | the wolf away from the door. The Mormon grappler wrestled here last Tuesday and beat Carl Davis of Columbus, O. He. then boarded a plane, flew to New York City and defeated: Dave Levin in Madison Square Garden on the following night. Now he returns to the city to stake his title against the prowess and artistry of Milo Steinborn. As an added inducement to the customers, Mr. Lloyd Carter, matchmaker, also will present tonight, Orville Brown, Wichita, Kas, against Hans Steinke, Germany, and Nick Elitzh of Boston against Irish Tommy O'Toole of Phoenix, Ariz.—which should
