Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman, Capital Journal Sports Editor t Chalk up another objector to the manner in which fouls In bas ketball games are being assessed. He's "Holly" Huntington, for mer Salem high school coach, who takes time out from his State ttreet men's furnishing establishment to revise the scene of his jnentorlng activities, But "Holly" may retire to an easy chair in his home at night henceforth, insofar as basketball is concern Id, if his reactions toward the Salem-Eugene contest of early this tveek continue to stick in his craw. Hollls knows his basketball and when a man of his caliber grows indignant concerning ihe "incessant whistle tooting" perhaps there is reason to believe that something is wrong somewhere. "There were few times that the boys made a trip down the court tha ta foul wasn't called," the former coach said in a tone that bordered on disgust. He objected to the numerous "off the play" fouls and asked: "How can the boys avoid physical contact when a half dozen of them are jumping under the basket In an effort to get control? The boys don't know they have fouled an opponent and the latter usually doesn't know he has been harmed." They won't need larger gyms if such foul calling tactics are continued, for empty seats will grow apace." On the Atlantic seaboard basketball Is furnishing conversation nd lots of it. Some critics of the present day game claim that frule changes are needed although there has been constant experi- tnenting in recent years. Officials accused of "too much whistle blowing" charged right back that It wasn't their fault that they blow the whistle on the game. They "were stuck with a set of rchaic rules." Matty Begovich, one of the best officials in the country would like to see the game slowed down. He feels that the excessive speed at which the game Is played is the root of the troubles. Perhaps Matty's legs are beginning to go back on him. ut at any rate here are some of . 1 A delayed whistle on a foul until the play is completed. Retention of the ball by an offensive team after a made or missed foul. 3 Scoring only one point for a tip-in basket. 4 Handling of the ball by the official after each score. Begovich feels that the delayed whistle on a foul, such as in hockey, would allow plays to finish before a whistle is Inter jected. His theory behind retention of the ball by the of fensive team is that it would reduce fouling, for possession of the ball is important in basketball. The one point tip-in is designed to eliminate some of the furious scrambling that goes on under the basket. And, Begovich contends, If the official were required to handle the ball after each goal It would elimi nate the wild breaks and race horse style that has turned the game Into what Begovich terms a "rat race." Reardless of the clamor against overzealous officials (a more wllte term than most of the referees are usually characterized) jlhere is the complacent citizen who snorts: "Why bother changing the game? The fans like it, don't they. It outdraws all other ports, doesn't it?" The latter assertion may be correct but we have failed to see the actual statistics. At the other extreme is She so-called "extermination society" whose members would do way with the game altogether. Red Smith of the New York Her ald says, "Slowing down the game Is a step in the right direction. Slow It down enough and it'll creak to a full stop."

He had been rushed to the hospital after firemen had failed to revive him in his dress ing room.

Meanwhile, Oregon State, an early leader in the race, bowed to Oregon 58-54 and slid down to half a game behind the two Washington schools. Washington poured in eight points in the final three min utes to defeat Washington State. The lead had changed hands six times previously in the last half after Washington State held a 26-25 lead at intermis sion. In the hair-rasing finish, both teams took a shot in the last 45 seconds but Washing ton didn't miss. Bill Vanden burgh put in the clincher. Jack Nichols paced the Wash ington Husky attack with 18 points. Vince Hanson led Wash ington State scorers with 12 al though he fouled out with only four minutes gone in the final period. Most of Hanson's fouls were committed against Nichols who picked up eight points on free throws. The Oregon State - Oregon contest was close all the way but the Staters trailed, through most of It. Oregon led 31 to 25 at the half. Oregon State's Cliff Crandall lopped the night's scoring witn 16 points. Washington and WSC repeat again tonight at Pullman.
