TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE ELEVEN 1 Height Changes May Aid Cadets, Middies By OSCAR FRALKY I'nitcd Press Sports Writer NEW YORK UP) Annapolis and West Point want it known to day that they are in the market lor jockeys ana DasKetoall play ers. Until this year, the height min imum for both academies was live leet, four inches and the maximum was six feet, four Inches. Now the height has been lowered to 8-3 and raised to 6-6. Navy Basketball Coach Ben Car nevale naturally isn't interested in jockeys but if you're six foot, six younis man and have the class marks to go with your Jump shot he d sure love to talk to you. Lack of extreme height because of the previous six. four maximum has handicapped basketball ereat- ly at the academies in an era Skyline Balance Said Good SALT LAKE CITY un Six weeks ago the University of Utah basketball team was riding high. It was ranked No. 3 In the nation 'and was supposed to breeze to its second straight Skyline Confer ence title and perhaps national honors. Tuesday the Utes ranked second in the conference and are nowhere to be found in the Associated Press poll. What has caused the nosedive of this potential champion? "I'll give you two reasons." savs utan loacn jack Gardner: "In juries, and the fact that the Sky- l;np Conference is better balanced that most people figured." u.es started out fast this season and whipped through five nonleague foes at a 95-pomt-a-game clip. Then they went to the Uni versity of Kentucky Invitation Tournament and. lost to Dayton and Minnesota. The next week they went into the Sugar Bowl Tournament as favorites, beat Marquette, then folded before Notre Dame In the finals. After the Notre Dame loss there were rumors denied by Gardner of dissension on the team. Three players were suspended, two for scholastic reasons and one for in subordination. One of the players later was reinstated. Then the Utes started to click again and ran up nine straight victories. But some of the pep of earlier victories seemed to be missing they had to stage late game rallies to subdue many of the opponents. Five of the wins in the streak ere over conference foes and put Utah on top of the Skyline heap. Last week the Utes moved with confidence lo the eastern slope of the Rockies to meet Colorado A&M and Wyoming in a pair of loop Udhii. . otn scnools nad medicie re -oici.-. For Utah, the trip was disaster. Colorado A&M upset the Utes, 62 b. aim the next, night Wyoming dumped them. i9-54. The double setback dropped Utah into a second-place lie with Utah State and moved Brigham Young University into the lead. "These two losses show just how much more balanced the confer ence is than most people think," says Gardner, where the accent Is on skyscrap ers. Navy's team, as example, averages six feet and has only one six, four player. "And the difficulty is," moans Ben, "that nobody seems to know that the height maximum has been raised two Inches." Carnevale thinks that it will be three or four years before the new rule has any Influence on academy basketball. NEXT CLASS "When the new rule was in stalled, the exams already had been given for the new plebe class." he explained. "If we get some six, six boys in the next class It still will be another year after that belore they can play varsity basketball." Meanwhile. Ben figures to at tempt to get even via legislation. He wants the baskets raised a foot fr6m the current 10 feet to 11 fee;. "The big men are taking the skill out of the game with their dunk shots," he insists. "Of course Piiog Allen of Kansas won't be in favor of this now that he has seven foot Wilt Chamberlain coming along. "But I think It will have to come to a higher basket." he adds "We are going to give it a try at Anna Polls in the intramural games, primarily to see what effect it will have on the shooting of the small er boys." The graying . haired former NYU star also favors a possession time limit, although "not neces sarily 24 seconds as In the pro game," and brands the Atlantic Coast Conference as "the tough est conference in the country today bar none." BIG FIVE He slacks the ACC's big five. North Carolina Statt, Duke. North Carolina. Maryland and Wake For est, as the equal of any In the na tion and heralds South Carolina and Cleinson as "coming up fast." Temple, too. draws kind words from the Crabtown court skipper. He places the Owls almost on a par with San Francisco. As for Navy's record of six wins against five losses, Ben Isn't too depressed. . "We lost four of those games in uie iasi minute," he explains. 'If we had one boy who stood six feet, six inches we'd have 'a tough ballclub. Golly. Just ima gine when we get a few." He'll be glad, as a matter of fact, even fn CrAf a nntml. . u - five foot, two Inchers. iney ii make great managers" Ben grinned. .

Hopes Held For US Run By JohnLandy NEW YORK ( A high-ranking AAU official sighed wistfully today and said in a weak voice he "hoped" John Lnndy of Australia would run in the United States dur ing the current indoor season. The situation is serious Indeed, what with Wes Santee rendered hors de combat by the AAU. Now tne Drass has gotten tUelf Into a corner. The promoters want top competition in tne mile tradition ally the glamor event of the In door campaign. But with Ron Delany of Villa nova running only as fast as win ning requires and that Isn't very fast without Santee the mile has lost much of its luster. Santee won't be on hand for at least two more weeks until the AAU decides whether he's innocent or guilty of charges of accepting excessive ex penses. .. , ' AA'U Major-domo Dan "Ferns who is in Europe with the Olympi ans, directed that Landy be In vited here. "He made the suggestion when I cabled him the news on Santee." said Jim Simms, one of Ferris' top aides. "All the directors of the remaining meets quickly sub scribed to the idea. "Of course, it's awfully short notice, but we're hoping Landy can come." Short notice it is. The only man alive to have run the mile under four minutes three times his 3:68 is the all-time record already has rejected a bid to run in Canada. Landy is a schoolteacher and the word from Down Under Is that he's committed to a full outdoor sched ule for the next two months (It's summer in Australia now), In ad dition, he's never run indoors and certainly wouldn't want to start without plenty of training.

Middlccotf. who became a pro fessional In 1947 and since then has won $300,000 in prize money, got around to this plan only last year. It consisted of playing two tourna ments,., then taking out for two. He says he found It helped his golf game immeasurably. "If you play all the time you get to the point where you think you are doing your best but you re not," commented the golf star last night while In Dallas to speak at a sports achievement dinner. "You get aggravated and edgy. You are likely to fly off the handle at some little reverse and do something that will hurt your scoring. If you take a rest you come back feeling fine and fit and confident and you will win a lot more than If you fol lowed the tournament grind week after week." Middlecoff. who lives at Mem phis but Is the playing professional of the swank Riverlake Country Club of Dallas, has won two tour namentsthe Bing Crosby and Phoenix and finished second In another and fourth in still another on the winter tour. He didn't play in the fifth tournament. He will be out of golf this week at Tucson and next week at the Texas Open in San Antonio but will resume the tour at Houston Feb. 23. T don't necessarily work in twos: I may play In three before taking out. but generally this has been my plan." he said. "It isn't new and It Isn't my creation. Ben Hogan told me about It back in 1948. I never got around to It until last year. Seems I felt I always needed the money or Just couldn't work out my schedule. But I have learned a lot and have gotten my game In such shape that I could take out for a while and not lose my touch." It paid off last year with 'six tournament championships and $39,567.27 in prize money. IS. St. Francis (Bklyn) - 99 17. Iowa . 77 18. UCLA 60 19. George Washington (12-4) 67 20.
