College Coaches Oppose
Foul Rule in AP Survey
By ORLO ROBERTSON
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Philadelphia, Dec. 16 VP) If
the college basketball coaches
, .. -ive their way, this will be the
first and last year for the rule
that gives a team fouled both a
tree shot and possession of the
ball in the last two minutes of
play.
An Associated Press survey of
many of the nation's ranking
rage mentors showed a decided
disapproval of the rule put into
effect this year with the hopes
it B.artiiA Intantinnnl fnul-
r Ing in the waning minutes of
the game.
But of 36 coaches asked to
express an opinion only Dr. F.
C. (Phog) Allen came out
whole-heartedly for it. The
veteran University of Kansas
coach would extend the two
minute rule to the entire
game.
The rule calls for a time out
while the free shot is being tried
ind until the ball is thrown into
play from out of bounds by the
team fouled. The skyline con
ference lets the clock continue.
The Big Ten permits two free
throws on any foul by the de
fensive team in the closing with
the ball remaining in play after
the second shot, if missed.
Others including Clair Bee
of Long Island University,
would adopt the professional
rule. It calls for a jump ball
at the foul line if the free shot
is made and taken out of
bounds if missed.
The general howl over the
new rule includes such com
plaints as:
1 Reduces the "game from
40 to 38 minutes.
' 2 Practically assures victory
for the team in front at the start
of the final two minutes.
3 Drags out the game with
the resultant loss of spectator
interest over a possible excit
ing finish.
"From what I've seen I m
X. not at all pleased with It,"
v said Nat Holman of City Col
lege of New York. "It means
the ball games are over after
38 minutes."

Leahy Lauds 'Stop Troops
And Irish Captain for '50
By FRANK LEAHY
The announcement that the
monogram winners at Notre
Dame had elected Jerry Groom
to lead the 19S0 Irish brought
much happiness to all who will
be affiliated with next year's
squad. For two years Jerry has
been playing in relative obscur
ity as one of the bulwarks of
Notre Dame's defensive unit.
Nothing could please the coach
ing staff more than to know that
such self-sacrifice is genuine
1 appreciated by his teammates.
In a way, the election of Jerry
Groom is not only a tribute to
one of the finest young men we
I.ave ever come in contact with,
but it is also a tribute to Mike
Swistowicz, Bob Lally, John Pe
titbon. Bill Gay, John Helwig,
Jim Mutscheller, and Bob Toneff .
I say this because the afore
mentioned young men are the
ones who played primarily on
defense with our 1949 team,
and in recognizing the value
of Jerry Groom, his team
mates were also saying
"thanks" to the men who
comprised out "Stop Troops."
Men like Jim Martin, Leon
Hart, Larry Coutre, Paul Burns,
and Fred Wallner, who played
both offense and defense, com
bined with our offensive play
ers, Emil Sitko, Bill Wightkin,
Frank Johnson, Frank Spaniel,
Ralph McGehee, Walter Groth-
aus, and Bob Williams to ex
press their thanks to their un
sung teammates for all they did
to make an undefeated season
possible.
In selecting Jerry uroom,
our defensive quarterback as
next fall's captain, the team
reiterated the sentiments that
made them unbeatable.
Those of our readers who
have followed Notre Dame foot
ball closely the past two years,
whether from the stands or the
parlor, will be happy to know
that the big green jerseyed num
ber 50, which has been so pro
minent in Notre Dame s defen
sive work, will be leading the
1950 Fighting Irish into their
fifth consecutive season without
defeat.
Jerry Groom typifies the
type of men who are playing
defensive football throughout
In altitude the Axemen
have returning lcttermen
Dean Parsons, 6 root 6 inch
center, forward Davey Sittner
stands at 6 feet 5 inches and
Don Siegmund, the other for
ward, is 6 feet 1 inch.
Eugene's scoring in their
recent games is distributed
evenly among all team mem
bers which will make it
tougher for the Vikings. In
past games Clark Hodges and
Sittner have copped most of
the scoring honors.
Coach Harold Hauk will use
his new lineup of Doug Rogers
and Wayne Walling in the for
ward slots, Jim Rock at center,
and Deb Davis and Captain
Daryl Girod in the guard berths.

Final Cage Class
Set for Saturday
The final class in the basket
ball school sponsored by the Y's
Men's club and conducted at the
YMCA will be held from 1:30
to 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Coach Johnny Lewis of Willam
ette university will be the in
structor and will stress defense.
A review of the entire course
will probably be made.
The teams to play at the
YMCA during the holiday sea
son will be selected from the
30 or 40 boys who have taken
the course.
Last Saturday Bill Hanauska,
West Salem junior high coach,
stressed offense.
America today. Very little
glory or acclaim falls to the
men whose sole duty is to stop
the enemy, yet without such
men no team would ever suc
ceed. It takes a great deal of char
acter and fortitude to be always
ready, regardless of the situa
tion, to run onto the field and
do your utmost to prevent the
opponent from scoring, and
from this group come the men
who are the backbone of your
team when the chips are down.
Proof of this came in the final
quarter of our SMU game when
our number one offensive cen
ter and guard, Walter Grothaus
and Frank Johnson were injur
ed. Up from the defensive unit
moved Groom and Burns to
join with their offensive team
mates in opening the holes nec
essary to score the winning
touchdown.
Announcement of the captain
cy was made at the annual No
tre Dame football banquet held
in the campus dining hall, and
it was my wish that every Notre
Dame fan in the country could
have been there to see their
team receiving so many well
deserved tributes. Such promi
nent sports figures as Jim Britt,
Coach Carl Snaveley, and Dr.
Karl Lieb helped to make the
affair a complete success.
Members of the 1949 team
were awarded Notre Dame mon
ogram blankets by the local
Alumni club, blue and gold pen
and pencil sets from the mer
chants of South Bend, and gold
footballs, emblematic of the
national championship, from the

the league and a wholesale
egg merchant in Sacramento,
Calif., said he has one player
under consideration as the new
club's player manager.
In addition, Handler said he
was negotiating working
agreements for players with
three major league clubs.
Under Far West league
rules, member clubs must have
three veteran players, seven
with limited service, and sev
en rookies, not counting the
player-manager.
Hadler said the Eugene en
try would be an independent
club if negotiations with ma
jor league clubs failed to turn
up top grade talent.
Next year's league season

April through early Septem
