that Hudsoa's bringing of the

minutes of a game. 4.
Before the canny coach frbm
the southwest could sit down and
expound his theory over a cup of
coffee, he had two priority iterns
to hsndle: 1. An snkle infection,
which flared up during the plane
trip yesterday, prompted him to
send Sophomore Guard ' Keith
Smith to Virginia Mason hospital
for Penicillin treatment, lie's rmt
likely to be ready for action. Sat-
urday. 2. Iba scheduled a practice
session for 7 p. m. (PST) in the.
University of Wsnhington psvlljon, ,
site of the title game. Coach
Adolph Rupp of Kentucky called .
his defending champs together for '
a workout at 2:30 p. m.
Illinois, which .meets Oregon
State in the preliminary game to
decide third place, timed its turn
out for 4 p. m. Oregon State had
the floor for 5:13. .
The infection on Smith's snkle
began to act up yestcrdsy during
the western plane trip, which fba
said was "extremely rough." Air
sickness hit several members of
the squad and a workout planned
at Denver was cancelled. A doc
tor was called In during the stop
there to have a look at the Smith
ankle. fj-:
"About that fouling rule," Said
Iba, turning his sttentkm to talk
and coffee. "The big argument is
to keep teams from freezing the
ball without making a rule that
at minutes. i ,
"I'd make a lumD ball manda
tory after a free throw in the last
120 seconds, whether the point
wss made or not And I'd do swsy
with the option of taking the ball
out of bounds sfter a foul. With a
Jump, the teams would have an
even chance to get control of the
balL"
Other coaches have suggested
doing swsy with the two - minute
rule, doing awsy with the out-of-bounds
option, or giving a team
two shots on every foul in the fin
al minutes.
