TALENT IRRIGATION DIST. E FOR BASKETBALL UNDERGOES TEST New York, Feb. 7 U.R Pro posed new basketball rules in which the court will be zoned to provide an area where field goals will count three points In stead of two, will be tested to night In a clinic game between Columbia and Fordham. The rules changes, suggested by Howard Hobson, Oregon Uni versity basketball coach, pro vide that any field goal scored from outside an arc 21 feet away from the basket will count three points, and a fouled player will have the option of taking his shot from the regular 18-foot free throw line from one point or from a new 21-foot line where it will count two. On a two foul penalty, only one of the shots may be taken from the 21-foot line with the second to be taken from the shorter distance, Foul Lane Widened Another Innovation provides widening of the foul lane from sfx to 12 feet in which the three second rule will apply. This is designed to prevent congestion under the basket and to elimi nate the advantage of tall play ers on rebounds and pivot plays Hobson said that the proposed changes were designed to dis courage use of the zone defense which hampers scoring because of set positions by defending teams. He said that the threat of three point goals will bring the zone defense out toward mid court and make for more open play.

Edgar Hoover, director of the F.B.I., stands out today as a logi cal candidate for the high com missioner's office in baseball be cause, in addition to other quali fications, he is best equipped to combat gambling to keep the sport clean. A man who can crack down with "the big stick" is needed now in the commissioner's of fice needed more than at any time since the wave of gambling that followed the First World war resulted In the Black Sox scandal and the appointment of the late Kenesaw M. Landis to the Job In 1920. Landis kept the sport clean as a whistle. Even his severest critics, never challenged that. But the old Judge died last No vember 25 shortly, before the sports world was smacked on the nose by the realization that pro fessional and amateur athletics are now menaced by the great est gambling surge in the na tion's history.

S. race tracks during 1944, The recent Brooklyn College basketball scandal, in which five players admitted having con spired with gamblers to "throw" a game for money.
