New Rules Tried The experimental rules used by the OSC Rooks and the Oregon Frosh Saturday night at Corvallis were some of the most confusing in the history of basketball and proved nothing except that the game was played faster with the ridiculous set of regulations on fouling. The old master, Slats Gill, devised the rules to cut down on fouls and speed up the game, but fans didn’t especially appreciate his efforts. The rules in this game called for giving one point to a player who was fouled instead of letting him take a one —and-one chance at sinking free throws. This cut down the time usually consumed in tramping up and down the floor for the foul shooting parade found in most games. But it takes all the consistency out of scoring games since it takes no shooting skill to get fouled. The Rooks’ Dave Gambee got 13 out of 23 points given to him, but he was listed as “dumping in” 23 points Saturday in Sunday’s Oregonian. The game would be better off if everyone would let the rules alone. Loscutoff Still Tops Division Oregon’s Jim Loscutoff is still j in front In individual scoring with half the Northern Division season gone, but several other conference stnrs are beginning to press him for the lead. The big Duck forward got 20 points against Oregon State Sat urday night after being held to 11 the evening before to retain his lead over VVSC’s Ron Ben nink and Washington’s Dean Parsons. Bennink took over the \ second spot in latest averages; after scoring 24 points each night, in tire Cougars’ series against the i Huskies lust weekend. He replaced Parsons in the j runner-up position after the ex Eugene center was held to 29 points in two games. Tony Vlas telica. OSC hook-shot ace, vault- j ed into fourth spot in the stand ings this week after having two j good nights against the Ducks with 24 and 19 points in the two ; games. Loscutoff retained his lead in ' the rebounding department as he ; grabbed off 33 against the Bea- \ vers in two appearances and kept his average above the 16-per game mark. He also leads the league in field goals while Ben-1 nink is by far the free throw leader. OSC's Jay Dean is the top hatchet man with 4.2 fouls per game. Washington’s Jim Co show has only six in six games to rank as the league's most i "honest” player. Player Cl FC. Loscutoff, Ore. 8 60 Bennink.
