Abb Curtis, supervisor of of
ficials for the conference, wrote
the Puget Sound Sportswriters
and Sportcasters association yesterday:
"This is not the solution to
handling the game in the clos
ing stages, but our coaches
feel that it Is some Improve
ment on the present rule . . .
This is a national rule and
there seems little likelihood
of a sudden reversal by such
a body."
He said the time clock-sub
stitution revision will shorten
games by approximately 2'fe
minutes. Under present rules it
takes from 6V4 to 7 minutes to
play the last 120 seconds. Cur
tis estimated that with no time
out for lineup changes, the span
can be cut to 4 to 4 '4 minutes.
The conference coaches and
Curtis had been urged by the
association to revise or aban
don the two-minute rule which
gives the ball to the shooting

team after free throws which
now are compulsory. Both the
association and a number of
coaches contend the regulation
virtually assures the leading
team continuous possession of
the ball in the closing stages.
At Spokane, Coach Bill Un
derwood of Gonzaga university
came up with a different solu
tion. He suggested that two lines
be painted on basketball
floors 3D feet from each end.
The offensive team would be
given the usual 10 seconds to
move the hall to midcourt,
then in the final two minutes
would have another 10 sec
onds to reach the 30-foot line.
Failure to do so would mean
loss of the hall.
Underwood said his plan
would force the offensive team
to attempt to score in the late
going instead of stall, thereby
giving the trailing team a bet
ter chance of gaining possession
of the ball.
Woman's Christmas Wish
Not Likely to Come True
New York, Dec. 24 (IP) The Christmas wishes of Mrs. Marion
Brady are not likely to come true.
Since September, the 36-year-old mother has been in an iron
lung after a severe attack of infantile paralysis. She is largely
paralyzed, and cannot even use her voice.
But from her lip movements
and the pleading in her eyes, her
attendants at St. Luke s hosptial
knew she was trying to say some
thing.
Finally, in desperation, they
called a lip reader from the
New York League for the Hard
of Hearing. With the help of a
mirror, Mrs. Brady formed
words with her dips, and Miss
Marjorie Dew translated them.
"Get me out of the respirator
for Christmas . . .
"Would the hospital let my
children come visit me for
Christmas . . ,
"Tell them ... I love them
very much . . ."
The answers were hard. To

to their son on Christmas day.
