College Coaches Dislike Three-Second Rule, May Agree

To Abandon Measure Despite Committee: Goshen Mentor in Quandary.

(OLE )GIATE basketball coaches are preparing for a showdown with rule-makers Cause of the trouble is the regulation designed to eliminate the “bucket play” in which two players wrestle for the ball under the basket. The rule, which has been in the book two vears, prohibits members of an offensive team remaining in the foul circle or lane for more than

three seconds. The idea is all right, the coaches agreed. But, why ban play in the choice floor position In the back half of the circle, they added.

FTER playing a season under the rule, the National Association of Basketball Coaches went on record in favor of not including this portion under the rule for the 1936-37 season. The National Basketball Rules Committee didn’t listen. That aroused the ire of Coach Roy Clifford of Western Reserve University, Mr. Clifford got off letters to some 150 other coaches, each of whom was asked whether he would be willing to abandon the rule. He expects most of the replies to say “yes.” And even if they are—why still it will be against the rule,

OKOMO's Wildcats last night lost to Frankfort. They aren't so ashamed of that. In their previous game, they dropped a final tournament game to Horace Mann of Gary. And they felt no great disgrace there. However, they feel a need for solace—and they're finding it by claiming a “comeback co-championship” with Goshen. The Fort Wayne tournament summaries back up the claim. The Wildcats entered the tourney after performing indifferently for three weeks. In the first game they trailed 11 to 9 at the half In the final they were on the short end of a 22-to-14 count at the intermission. Defeat came by a 31-30 score—and the shot winning for Horace Mann was in the air when the gun fired. " u ” & = ” IRKLAND and Hartford City fans have been given a break. The two high school teams were scheduled to play Friday, when the tournament at nearby Bluffton is to be held. Obliging school officials advanced the game date to Thursday.
