THE
Firing
Line
By PAT FRIZZELL
“I don’t think it will affect the
game materially.”
That's what Hobby Hobson said
yesterday afternoon when asked
about the abolishment of basket
ball's tip-off.
“I don't believe,” Hobby went on,
“that it will handicap the big men
much, dimming' tires a center a
lot. With no tip-off, the big fel
lows will be able to conserve their
energy for work under the back
boards and on defense.”
Hobson doesn't favor cutting out
the tip, but now that it's gone he
isn’t worrying about it. "It may
make the . game more interesting
from a spectator standpoint.” the
genial hoop and diamond mentor
pointed out. "It will add minutes
of action, and that’s a big thing,
unquestionably."
Hobby believes that with no tip
the game will see more substitut
ing. He explain.s that it will be
hard for any five players to run
pell-mell from one end of the floor
to the other for forty driving min
utes. “You’ll find some who can.”
he said, "but there will probably
be more substitutions than former
ly.”
He doesn’t think teams which
have already been using a fast
break will be greatly affected by
the change. “The teams with slow
offenses will he the ones hindered,”
he prophesied.
Hobson believes the change wiil
lead to more cheeking out on the
floor, with less concentration of de
fense in front of the baskets. It
will, of course, be harder for a
team to rally in final minutes of a
close game, a fact which the Web
foot eoach regrets.
Hobson points out that in recent
seasons teams have not been dash
ing in to fight for the tipoff but
have instead been competing mere
ly for positions on the floor, and
thus its efficiency has been impair
ed. He contends that the tip-off
will be missed and explains that
“It has been an important part of
the game.”
Hobson thinks the rule manu
facturers are trying to take too
much away from the big men. “But
they haven’t succeeded yet, by any
means,” he declared yesteday.
The Webfoot hoop teacher favors
abolishment of the 3-second key
hole rule, at least in the case of
offensive players without posses
sion of the ball. He also favors al
lowing the man in possession of
the ball to stay indefinitely in the
part of the keyhole from the foul
line out.
Opposition to the pivot post play,
in which a large man can hold the
ball in the keyhole and pivot and
pass to team mates, caused adop
tion of the 3-second rule. The rule
was never in favor with coast
coaches, its main adherents being
easterners.
Donut Softball Games
Postponed; Rain Cause
All intramural softball games
scheduled for yesterday were post
poned, through no choice of the
teams. The weather man did the
choosing and turned the donut dia
monds into a sea of mud.
Postponed games will be played
later in the season. No games are
scheduled for today. Play will re
sume Monday, when the usual four
contests are scheduled.

A thoroughly soaJted baseb8.il

yesterday afternoon. Consequently
all prictice, except for a brief bat

One day remains before the

Hobson and his baseball club.
Provided old J. Pluvius gives

games will probably be delayed
until Monday.
Night Game Cancelled
Due to a confliction in Portland,
Oregon will be unable to meet the
Consolidated Freights team a week
from Saturday in the previously
announced night game at Vaughn
street. It would have been Ore

a double bill for Saturday after

The Webfoot pitching staff will
still get a nice workout next week
as six games are definitely listed,
and a doubleheader with Willam

if tomorrow's games are rained
out.
Top Hurlers Picked
Starling pitchers for the Bear
cat twin bill are not definitely sel
ected as yet although Hobby has
listed his top four as certainties
to see action. Bill Sayles, Bob
Hardy, Captain Johnny Lewis, and
Bill Marshall form the “big four.”

UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, Seattle, Apr. 1—(Special) —
Although Coach Jimmy Phelan is
delayed in the East where he was
attending the recent coaches’ con
ference, fifty-three ambitious can
didates reported for spring foot
ball practice at the University of
Washington pavilion Monday.
Equipment was issued and
spring practice for the Huskies got
under way w'ith assistant coaches
Cotton Wilcox and Pest Welch in
charge until the chief arrives
sometime this week. Under the
‘Phelan system, little or no time is
lost; and Irish Jimmy plans the
busiest spring practice session of
iris seven years at Washington.
Coach Phelan will be experi
menting to find replacements for
nine graduating lettermen—includ
ing an all-American lineman, two
all-conference stars and his four
great backs of the coast confer
ence championship squad.
Although this is a serious loss
to the Huskies, Washington's pros
pects look but slightly worse than
a year ago. The backs received a
good amount of experience during
the 1936 season, and all of the
Husky reserves except Rudy Park
hurst- out of school this quarter
—will be back for another season
to provide the necessary bulwark
ing. The line will again present
the weak spots, particularly at the
tackle slot where half a dozen
aspirants will battle it out during
spring workouts.
Six weeks of practice are on
the spring schedule; inter-squad
games will conclude the laboratory
period where the Husky coaches;
will be doing their experimenting1
and seasoning.

With two weeks of preparation
before they travel to Palo Alto to
meet the Stanford Indians April
10, University of Washington
Husky trackmen have shifted
workouts to outdoors.
Coach Hec Edmundson hopes the
two weeks will be ample for his
"cripples,” Art Morgan, ace hurd
ler, and Dave Maginnis, two milcr,
to recover from injuries that kept
them out of the California indoor
meet here March 26.
However, the 73-58 beating the
Huskies took from the Bears Fri
day had its bright spots. In the
half mile, Vic Palmason turned in
a 1:57.8, three tenths of a second
better than his own pavilion record
established last year.
Another pavilion record fell in
the mile relay, which Palmason,
Bruce Humber, Dick Montgomery,
and Jack Flagg negotiated in 3:24,
clipping 1.2 seconds from the old
mark.
