Karin Andren, young Swedish
this winter's championship skating
Hy Ftirrcst (Phog.) Allen.
(President National liasketball
Coaches AssoeialPtn. )
Shall we make more changes in
the present rules?
Hasket ball standpall ei's say:
"Certainly not. Why should we
change them ?"
P a h k e t ball progressive says:
"Yes, because we need a more im
proved game."
And so it has always been. Hut
two extremes often develop a hap
py mean. Often, when a team pulls
some Uesiinah1c play, which is
the product of the brain of its foxy
coach, the referee, as well as the
rival coaches, shout, "Illegal!''
"Well, show me a rule agahiht
it !" retorts the wily coach. Th"
rule "book seems not to contain on-"'.
And so it goes. I'sualiy, such plays
aro found to be just outside the
precincts of ethical basketball and
just-within the rules. Consequent,
ly, a change in the rules is sup
posed to be the only means of
blocking these Illegal "pet" plays.
The evolution or the game of
basket b:il stems to necessitate
new offensive mid new defen.-ive
measures. The offense, usually,
utltspeeds the defence. .
The joint basketball rules com
mittee has mn ile some excellent
changes in the rules and these
changes should aid the game. Hut
they will not give r the help lhat
they should unless the official cun
solve the difficulty encountered in
their interpretations and in iheir
enforcements of lite rules.
Dribbling.
Tho dribble rule has caused more,
agitation than all of tho others
combined. This year the responsi
bility is put on the dribbler. He
must go clearly around his guard
ami avoid personal contact. put
In the dozen or so early collegiate
games that I have witnessed this
year, the officials are working the
driUble rule exactly as they worked
It InM year. They are allowing the
dribbler to plow through, and also
to body-block while dribblint:. .
I doubt if the advance of the
season will find the averpgo of
ficial of the game changing his lust
year's habits mtilnrially. Hot this
new anti-block rule is a .plrdld
one. if enforced.
Wmmling From the Hear.
The change in the rules on
"guarding from the rear" i an
other good example of the failure
of many ofh-ials to e.irry out the
idea formulated by tlu rules com
mittee. As pointed out in one of

I the rules, "the mere fact that the
i defensive player is attempt ing to
! play the ball does Dot justify him
in placing one or both arms over
i his opponent's shoulder. if, ly so
! doing, he causes personal contact." j
This infraction is "getting by" re
peatedly without being called. !
Stalling.
I'udoubtedly, it is the though of'
i Ihe rules committee that public I
, opinion will curb .-stalling lhat 1
- spectators will not pay to sec ac-!
' tionbss games. t :
This committee has done much i
to prevent stalling. Hoth the one-i
yard rule and the hulldogging m-!
'freezing the ball rule have been j
contributed as an aid to curb stall
; ing.
i Tin; one-yard rule declares that
! "as soon as an opponent takes a
i position close to (say within a yard
! of the player with the ball, the
i latter must g-t the ball into play."
i To date, I have seen some of the
1 n :i t Ion's best officials at work in
, the game, but I have not seen one;
; of them call a single phiy of this
. kind. Hut thi! infraction has oc- I
curr-'d a score of times.
r The rules committee has further I
: decree that there shall be no
! "bulldogging or freezing the ball."
t Hy this is meant that on a jump
ba!l. the player may tap and catch
the ball, but if ho then holds it
until another held ball is declared,
1 ho may not tap and catch it on the
i ensuing jump ball. This rub1. If
! enforced, will aid in preventing I
1 stalling. I
; A Xrw .Mental Trick. j
j In most situations of lift, "the
old order changeth, giving place to j
. new." I am wondering as I write,
if. before tho basketball season is
: too old. these changes in the rules
will bo made effective. Officials
j have been calling the plays a long
! time under the old rules, and theyi
seem a bit calloused to the pro-
: gross! vo changes. Kvidently, they
have developed a habit a reflex. I
' which will take time to replace. J
J For instance, tho play in this one
j yard rule is such n rapid one that J
the referee's decision will require !
the development of a new mental j
! track. Old grooves are worn deep
; ly; and the men in charge of the
'game are not apt to develop new
eyes and new tracks for a little
white.
; Psychologically, in times of strcst:
I and excitement, we revert to habits j
j :ind action of the pant. Thus do
. our splendid and we-nieanig of-1
ficials overlook many of the new
interpretations. 0

FACULTY-STUDENT
SKATT1..IS, Jan. 2 1 . W Whether
Knoeh Hagshaw is to remain as
head football coach of Ihe I'tlt
ver.sity of Washington was still a
ouestioii today, with tho student
board of control insisting that he
be ousted and the faculty athletic
commission as strongly determined
that he remain.
With the two bodies to whom
arc responsible deadlocked. It was
up to President M. l.yle Spencer
1 decide whether ' Hagshaw will
finish the three remaining years
of his contract. Dr. Spencer has
said that be will be guided entirely
by the legal phases of the dispute.
Confronted with a compromise
proposal" of the faculty committee
to add a back field coach to the
staff and keep the "Little Giant"
at the head, the student board turn
ed to a lawyer for legal advice In
the event Dr. Spencer denies their
pleas.
A special committee worked yes
terday formulating a bill of par
ticulars reciting students' griev
ances against Hagshaw. This is to
be presented to Dr. Spencer by a
special committee consisting of the
nine sttulcnt members of tho board
of control as soon as he grants
them an interview. Copies are also
to he sent to the university board
of regents.
Meanwhile the fueulty committee
