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."

Death Follows Knockout of
Fighter in Chicago Battle
Chicago, Feb. 21 (P) Sam Baroudi, 20, New York and Akron,
light heavyweight boxer, died in Columbus hospital today, six
hours after he was knocked out by Ezzard Charles in the 10th and
last round of their bout in Chicago stadium last night. He died
without regaining consciousness.
Physicians had diagnosed his
injury as a cerebral hemorrhage
but decided against Immediate
surgery. He had been rushed
to the hospital after firemen had
failed to revive him in his dress
ing room.
The young boxer, who had
engaged in 46 professional
fights, was knocked out for the
first time last night when he
went to the canvas under the
withering attack of 26-year-old
Charles, who is ranked the lead
ing challenger to the 175-pound
title.
Charles dealt out severe
punishment to the New York
Negro in the final round of their
bout in Chicago stadium, which
drew a crowd of more than 11,-000.-

blows to the body, Charles, Cin

Huskies Battle to
Northern Loop Tie
The University of Washing-
ton climbed into a first-place
tie with Washington State in
the torrid northern division
basketball race by nipping the
Cougars 55-50 before an over
flow crowd of 5800 fans in
Pullman last night.
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. Ore
gon, which1 hosted the Beavers
Friday, moves to Corvallis for
a renewal of their intra-state
rivalry.
