Pro Rules Adoption Argued San Francisco-IUTO-The con troversial issue of . whether colleges should adopt profes sional basketball rules raged with coaches Red Auer bach aud Phil Woolpert tak ing to the stump. Auerbach, coach of the Jun keting Boston Celtics of the National Basketball associa tion, declared in Seattle that the colleges should adopt some version of the profes sional rules. Woolpert, an avowed disci ple of defense who coaches the University of San Fran cisco, said in San Francisco that the pros would be better off if they played the college rules. Auerbach blasted the "mo notonous type of ball control many coaches teach. Woolpert said that pro basketball is a "prostituted version of the game." Both coaches gave their views without knowing what the other had said. Under the professional rules, a team has to take a shot within 24 seconds after getting the ball or lose it; a game is broken down into four 12-minute quarters; the zone defense is barred and a player is allowed six person al fouls. "When the zone defense is prohibited the game loses one of its prime functions," Wool pert said. "And they don't need to play that extra eight minutes." Woolpert added that Bill Russell, his USF star who now is with the Celtics "looked drawn" when the Celtics were playing the Lakers here Sun day night. "If you saw some strategy out there Sunday, I sure didn't," Woolpert said. "The pros simply aren't allowed to employ any because of the rules." "We put on a basketball show with the finest players in the country," Auerbach said. ."The fans see 48 minutes of continuous basketball." "I thought it was absurd basketball to see a man shoot with nobody under the basket to handle the, rebounds," Woolpert said. "I think that sort of an exhibition is a prostituted version of the game." 22 Qualify For Crosby Monterey, Calif.

Texas Christian Up SW Lead The word was out before the season to watch Texas Christian - but how are the Horned Frogs' Southwest con ference opponents going to do it without telescopes. Coach Buster Brannon's veteran squad-which finished fast but not fast enough to win the Southwest basketball crown last season surged two games in front in the tra ditionally tough circuit Tues day night when it beat Rice, 59-52. The Frogs, the nation's 11th ranked college basket ball team, now have a 4-0 conference slate and an 11-2 overall record. The early two-game lead in the conference represents the Frogs' best start in years and makes them heavy favorites to win their first league title since 1953. Southern Metho dist dropped into a multiple tie for second place Tuesday night when it lost to Baylor 70-53. Quinn Takes Philly Post Milwaukee, "Wis.-flJPD-Mon-ey was an inducement, but complete authority over the last place Philadelphia Phil lies seemed today to be the main reason why General Manager John Quinn bolted the National league cham pion Milwuakee Braves. Quinn apparently felt he was no longer boss of the Braves, whom he had devel oped as a pennant winner three times and world cham pion once since becoming gen erald manager in 1946. Before him they hadn't won a pen nant in three decades. Under him they missed the first divi sion only once. Quinn replaces Roy Hamey, who moved to the New York Yankees an assistant general manager. Besides replacing Hamey as general manager, Quinn will be vice president and direct the Phillies farm system.

Earl Blaik Quits Army Glenn Davis, Earl Blaik's greatest player, and Eddie Erdelatz, his greatest rival, paid equal tribute today to the retiring Army football coach. Blaik has resigned, effect ive Feb. 15, and plans to quit coaching for good. "I've always thought a great deal of him as a coach and as a person," said ail-American halfback Davis in Los An geles. "The Army certainly is going to miss him." "Not only West Point but all of football. will miss Red Blaik," said Erdelatz, whose Navy teams held a 5-3 edge over Blaik's Army teams. "Blaik contributed much to the game and to the boys who played under him. He also did a fine job for the service by helping turn out fine of ficers as well as athletes."
