2 Lanky Players
Ready for Action
New York, March 2S tlf Amer
ica's basketball followers stood by
today to see whether a big player
was more useful as an offensive
or as a defensive man.
The question Involves the great
est scorer ever to appear in Medi
son Square Garden, sis-font, nine
inch George Mikan of Dcl'aul.and
perhaps the greatest defensive
man in collegiate history, seven
foot Bob Kurland of Oklahoma A.
& M.
Mikan set enough offensive rec
ords to necessitate revision of Up
ledger as Dcl'aul swept In the na
tional invitational championship.
While Kurland was a tower of de
fensive strength in Oklahoma's 49
to 45 victory over New York uni
versity in the national collegiate
championship final last night. .
Basketball Rules
Slightly Changed
For National Play
New York, March 28 UPiTall
players, the target of rousing cri
ticism, because of their advantage
in scoring plays, actually bene
fited today in revisions to colle
giate basketball rules by the leg
islative committee. ,
Although case histories of some
of the most successful tall play
ers in Jhp.fjame were submitted,
the)ivVTvbpdy emarjedi with ev
en minor changes, and nothing
was done to stop the offensive on
slaught of the rangier players.
Instead the committee passed a
rule which stated that points will
not be nullified if a player touch
es the basket hoop or net when a
field goal obviously lias been
made.
Legislation Tabled
The suggested legislation to
modify the height advantage was
tabled because the committee
could not agree on the best meth
od of combatting the nig players.
The most Important of the other
changes effected was the cancel
lation of the 30-seeond rule, which
heretofore enabled a team to get
bv without a charged time-out
when a player was substituted.
Under the revised rule, only en
injury will prevent a team with
being charged with a time out if a
substitution is made, lhe rule
was effected to prevent coaches
from delaying games by seiutmt

formation during close contests
and at the same time giving the
players on the floor a rest with
out time out being charged.
Signals Standardized
Another change provides stan
dardization of signals by officials
for all parts of the nation to en
able players to know what action
was being taken liy the referees.
There were numerous complaints
during tournament play at Madi
son Square Garden, that officials
used signs unfamiliar to the play
ers. Other changes were:
1. An out-of-bounds ball is to be
given to the nearest offensive
player to avoid delay by passing
it to a man in a distant part of
the court.
2. On cancelled coals broucht
about by any violation, the ball is'
to lie taken out on the side court
instead of behind the basket.
3. On plays when the offensive
player accidentally steps into the
I back court, he is to be permitted
to retain possession of the ball.
4. Officials In lie given ttie pow
to fix the responsibility of
screening plays upon offensive
men.

Men who hit better than .300
