‘Mauriello, 22, is favored because of his youth, stamina and punch.

ing last.night, explained: “Kurland and his seven feet are a distant but natural aftermath of the old center-jump in basketball, which was ruled out half-a-dozen years ago. ‘The center-jump was tossed aside, but before it went, students. of = basketball discovered that the tall men they had been using for centers could develop into excellent all-round players, possessed of great advantages on offense and defense because of their unusual height. Coach Iba is.proud of Kurland’s height, but he is uncertain of his team’s “ability, He Jost six men from last year’s squad, including four starters, because of graduation and service demands. His current squad of 12 includes four freshmen and one sophomore, which makes it “a bit too green.”
Hard to Sleep
Iba wishes that seven-foot Kurland were a sophomore or a junior. Then the giant hoopster will be a great player, he predicts, because the tall boy, scaling 206 pounds, has the unexpected speed, natural grace and basket accuracy of a potential star, But now, as a freshman—still crude in spots—he plays only about 15 minutes a game. Lou Steinmeir, a junior who reaches but six feet five, is the starting center. The team averages about six feet five and a half. This stretching up is a swell thing for the future of our race, but it’s a big burden for Coach Iba and his assistants as they move their tall men about the country. Kurland can’t sleep in an ordinary Pullman berth or hotel bed. Popeyed Pullman porters let him stretch out on divans in staterooms, and hotel maids make his bed on the hotelroom floor.

ting the crimp on basketball travel, and several coaches were expected to ask permission to play nearby independent teams. Other vital questions which faced the conference in the two-day meeting are: . 1. The freshman eligibility. rule. Shortage of manpower in the schools have forced many coaches to rely on freshmen in their starting lineups. Other coaches have taken
men to play, asserting that college competition is too rigorous for younger men. 2. Relationship with service teams and independent teams. Gas rationing has forced coaches to look to their immediate area for competition. 3. The-fate of minor spring sports and the length of athletic cards.
