Curb on Heighty
Basketball Stars
New York, March 26 LP The
nation's basketball coaches agreed
today to "do something" to curb
the height advantage of tall play
ers, but. falling to hit upon a defi
nite plan, left the job for their
research committee.
The National association of
coaches heard various plans, some
of them drastic, In discussing the
problem of their annual meeting
for rules changes crystallized last
week during the national tourna
ments now In progress at Madison
Square Garden, when tall centers
ran the show for their teams.
Makes 03 Points
They saw George Mikan, six
foot, nine-inch star for De Paul,
make 53 points to set a new col
legiate record, Arnold Risen of
Ohio State six-foot nine inches,
make 26, Don Otten of Bowling
Green, six-foot, ll-inches, make 27
points In single contests.
Coach Nat Holman of the City
College of New York said that
couldn't have happened during his
professional days as a member of
the original Celtics, Because or. a
' rule that prohibited an offensive
player from standing with his
back to the basket for more than
two seconds.
"The big boys would not be
able to muscle their way to points
under this rule," Holman said.
Suggestions Made
Other suggestions included
elimination of the back board to
keep tall players from banking
in pivot shots and extending the
basket out one foot from tne
backboard with a metal shank.
These proposals were opposed by
several coaches who contended it
would cut down the "break
through" style of play which
sends an average-size player in
for lay-up shots.
Coach Bruce Drake of Okla
homa, leading the legislation
against "big men dominating the
game," asked his colleagues
"where would we be Jit we didn't
change our weapons to meet new
problems?'
At the finish the conches turned
over all pending legislation, in
cluding a proposal to extend the
three second lane Irani six to
12 feet, to the research commit
tee of which Drake is chairman.
The committee will work on the
proposed changes and present the
draft of new rules at the next an
nual meeting.

(United Frew Stuff Correnpomlcnt)
New York, March 26 IP Pend
ing "lcg"-islation against the long
limbed lads of basketball had a lot
of the balcony brigade up In arms
today for the same reason that
the blcaeherites of baseball would
howl If steps were taken to re
duce home runs In the diamond
sport. , '. '
Basketball fans are like the fa
natics in baseball, football and
other team sports. They pay their
money to see action and they are
convinced that the tall fellows
with the rangy reach are there to
provide it for them.
We understand that most of the
coaching brethren of the "board
burning" sport are in favor of
curbing the powers of the "ladder-laddies,"
but It seems that the
bulk of the outcry has been from
the ones who haven't tall men on
their,squads.
The sentiment against them ap
parently reached Its peak during
the.pastweeli and a,sky-hlgh-guy
named George Mikan appears to
be the key culprit. When Mikan,
who stands six-feet, nine Inches
tan in nis shower bath, made
53 points for De Paul to set a now
college record, the coaches decided
to cut all the big fellows down to
size.' ' ' '
Among the dissenters, however,
was" 1 1 K e a b 1 e Frank - tfeaney,
whose "pore little boys" from
poor little Rhode Island, should
have more reason than anyone
else to howl about Mikan and the
other Giants. It was against the
comparatively tiny team that Mi
kan made his 53 points, breaking
eight scoring records in one night.
Hut is Keaney irritated about
it? Not one bit.
"That big boy Mikan is good,"
he told his brother coaches at
their annual meeting in the Hotel
Belvedere yesterday. "And what
a shot maker he is. Some day I'll
have a good man myself and then
I'll want to be able to use him."
The De Paul coach, Ray Meyer,
who has more reason to defend
tall players, said that the whole
thing made no sense to him.
"If they want to penalize tall
players for their height, why don't
they penalize shorter players for
the speed," he said. "Now take
Mikan, for example. It's not his
fault that he's tall that he
stretches tip tb. six-jtpot, nine, Why
should they try to take the game,
away from ' fellows like him?"
Bnsketball has done a lot for him.
When he first started to play, he
was a spindle-legged beanpole of a
boy.
"Now, because the game has de
veloped him physically and given meot
mm proportion ana cooruinaiion,
he's an excellent, alert athlete."
Hagg May Delay
Marriage Plans
San Francisco, March 26 IP
Swedish distance runner Gurider
Hagg, stepped off a plane here
late last night and told newsmen
that he "didn't think" he would
be married during his present
visit to tne west coast.
Here to see his fiancee. Miss
Dorothy Nortior of Oakland, Hagg
said he expected to leave Wednes
day for Buffalo, where he will
compete In his final race of his
1945 tour this week-end.
When asked if he would marry
Miss Nortier during his short
stay here, Gunder replied:
"I don't think sp."
! Pressed for a reason, he said:
"That is, what you call It? Pri
vate?" Sig Stelnwall, Hagg's trainer,,
stepped In to offer the explana
tion then, that Hagg isn't sure
what he will do and besides,
maybe Miss Nortier should be. the
one . to announce anything like
that. ' . '. , . ..
Hagg said that he hoped to be
in peak condition for the Buffalo
performance and expected to low
er his Cleveland time consider
ably. He plans to leave for Swe-'
den as soon as possible after the
Lions to Sponsor
Girls' Hoop Play
Alameda, Cal., March 26 lift
The annual girl's basketball tourn
ament of the Pacific association
of the AAU will be staged here
on April 6, 7 and 8, under sponsor
ship of the Alameda Lions club.
Win Currier, sports editor of
the Alameda Times-Star, is man
aging the tourney for the Lions
club and volunteers the informa
tion that entries for the meet have
been lagging.
To date only six teams have sig
nified their intentions of compet
ing: the defending champion Ala
meda Lions sextet; the runner-up
Women's club of Richmond; Play
haven girls, Oakland; Grass Val
ley; Hunter's Point, and St. Brid
get's Alumni.
Currier hopes to have at least a
dozen teams lined up by the time
the entries close and sends out
a special call to feminine service
clubs to compete. He says mat
while there is an entry fee for
civilian clubs, service teams play
free.
Big Tourney Ahead
The winner of the tournament
is eligible to compete in the Na
tional AAU championships at fat.
Louis. Mo.
The Lions club team is favored
to repeat as champion this year,
because it has four all-coast play
ers in the lineup. One of these Is
Virginia Stevens, captain of the
club, who also is a star outfielder
with the Alameda girls Softball
team that won the world champi
onship two years in a row.
However, the Lions may find
the going rough, because they
have been able to schedule only
three games all year.
"Guess it is just because we are
too tough, says Miss Stevens.
"You know, we were undefeated
through the 1944 season."

Up in the mountains bordering
Oregon's scenic wonderland. Crat

marine veterans are operating an
outpost quite different from the
usual run of military bases a ski
camp.
Located just six miles from his
toric Fort Klamath and its Klam

novice and expert alike.
Within a short distance of the
cabins are several gentle slopes
for beginners antl further along
into the mountains are jumps and
slides tricky enough for a profes
sional. And for those who just like the
out-of-doors, there is the whole
national park, all the way to
Crater lake itself, "0 miles away,
in which to roatn.
The resort -six modern cabins
with comfortable living facilities
for 21 men ami ttie permanent
camp crew -was leased outright
by Colonel George Van Onion for
the use of marines from this sta
tion during tht snow season.
Four cabins, the mess hall antl
the galley are utilized by the visit
ing parties, which number a maxi
mum of 24 single men or eight
married couples. All come up on
two-and-a-half day outings. Food,
blinks, blankets and skis are fur
nished by the marine barracks.
Two instructors, two cooks and
an overseer all marines make
up the resident crew, and just to
he on the safe side, a hospital
corpsman and his case of first-aid
supplies come along with each
party.
Beginners arc taken in hand by
the instructors and taught the
rudiments of the sport before go

couple of sessions with those ox
perls, marines who hat) never be

to talk familiarly of "herring
