Fatigue effects upon the players as a result of the higher basket. Is it possible for any of the players to score a tipein with a 12 ft, basket, and from what area out in front of the basket are most of the tries for goal? This refers to location and distance. Are the reach-ups and the laye-ins largely obliterated under a 12 ft. basket? Is the height of the taller man reduced more definitely under a 12 ft. basket than under a 10 ft. basket? ; | Is the disadvantage to the shorter man more pronounced or reduced under a 12 Is the taller man required to make a shot in the same way a shorter man found necessary to shoot? : On rebound does the taller man now have more of an advantage or a lesser ad- vantage in obtaining the rebounds? Does the fact that the goals are higher give the taller man more advantage or does it permit the shorter men to drive in and recover miss-shots that fall in the field of play, or does the taller man still have the greater advantage proportion= ately? Would the shorter man have time to recover after jumping and then spring again for the ball? ! Under the 12 ft, basket does the exceptionally tall player lose his position because he is forced now to move from his set position that he obtained under a 10 ft. basket? Observe the effect on the set-up or layein shot with the higher basket. With the 12 ft. basket are players able to control their shots when coming toward the basket at a rapid rate of speed? With the higher basket are there more set shots further out on the court? Are longer shots equally as easy to make with a 12 ft, basket as with a 10 ft. basket? Does the higher basket induce less passing and more long shooting? ) From the standpoint of roughness, is there less contact under a higher goal? In regard to fatigue, this is rather difficult to measure, but obtain any ine formation regarding complaints of fatigue from the players, Naturally, at the beginning of the experiment of shooting at a 12 ft, basket there will be complaints of the wrist and forearm muscles being overworked, but as the play continues from week to week doubtless this criticism will be lessened, ora room OAR Snare, EOS ee 1943-44 Basketball Roster Numbers Red White Name Pose Service 16 “Bales; verry" P Civ. 21 Barrington, Don 7 FP v-12-— 20 Benedicet;—Lerry— F V=12 22 16 Book, Bob F Civ. 24 Censler, Arthur —- F Vo§ 10 Garr; Bddie— F V5 Gomardo- Vo 3 4 Corder, Deah Cc Civ. : at F Vo12 19 «§=6YDiek, Seorge F Civ. 7 ® # ~»x Diehl, Don G Vo12-—— —Paleon—— Ve5 130 x Frank, G. “iliard P Vo12-— xo. 0 UM Geehring, Louis G Vo12 ® §s& ~Hedriek, Clay G Vol2 il -Hill, Harold.

MCDermott of the Iowa Pre-flight school that he is being transferred and will be unable to work in your game with Iowa State at Ames on Jan. 29th. I have toflay ass igned Bud Knox to that game. The otner official will be Fred Winter. You will remember I told you something of Bud some time ago. His game up there with Missouri iast night was his first for Iowa State but he has workediin the Missouri Valley for some time. He is an old baseball player; caught of the Pittsburg Pirates I believe. He was a star athlete at Des Moines University way back. They teli me ne has iowts:s oi courage and is a consistent oificial. Was unabie to get up for your Oklahoma game Friday night but trom all reporis it was a greai daeiensive vattie. Have you given any consideration to cnanging the date of your game with Missouri, at Lawrence, to Feb. 25th. I believe it would be ok with Missouri and it would help all the Kansas City fans that want to see that game and the Indoor Track Meet. The meet had to be scheduled for the 26th. since that was the only date available at the Auditorium. What do you think?. Had planned on seeing your game at Ames this coming Saturday but our schedule here won't permit it. Will be probably be in Lsncoln for your game there Feb. 19th. Sincerely yours, ee CO oe SQ Re E.

Received a letter from Karl Klooz tdday telling me of the imposs- ibility of changing your game with Missouri to the 25th. of Feb- ruary beacuse of conflicts. Sorry the change couldn't have been made since the conflict will hurt both events to some extent, butit is just one of those unavoidable conditions. Of course this con- flict was discussed at the time the track date was set but there was no other date available and the basketball date had already | been set. : The announcement of the N.C.A.A.

Sincerely yours, : j ee SO che ke OD | R. E. Peters UARY TAGE, Favors Rule to Stop Cage Giants. DALLAS, Feb. 7.(AP)—James W. St. Clair, chairman of the national basketball rules committee, says something must be done about giant goal-tenders. If not, he sees a return - the old stalling game. “Tt is plainly evident that we'll have to do something to remove the premium now placed on ab- normal height and devise a way to reduce or eliminate the tall play- er’s effectiveness on defense, » he. said today. - “At present it is illegal to inter- fere with the ball directly over the basket but a lot of these giants are doing such a good job that they're managing to bat the ball away before it reaches the pro- tected zone.” St. Clair advances as probably the best means a rule making it illegal to touch the ball anywhere ‘tizens as after it starts its downward arc. - ell, Lieut. _ Senator) publicized incidents as the ousting of Bill Cox, Phil Prexy, on gambling charges; the Brooklyn Dodger “re- bellion” at the time of the Bobo | Newsom incident, and Minor League Commissioner William G. Bram- ham’s quelling of a revolt in the ranks by the si of sci votes. National Basketball Rules Chairman Jim St, Clair is troubled by height trouble - double trouble - height under both the offensive as well as the defensive basket. St. Clair states that his rules body must “devise a way to reduce or eliminate the tall player's effectiveness on defense". But not a word does oer about eliminating the undue advantage of the 7 foot quran basketball stratosphere giant under the offensive basket. Why discriminate against the defensive giant while allowing this same altitudinous chap to dunk the ball unmolested into the offensive basket? "It is plainly evident that we'll have to do something,” St. Clair says, "if not, stalling will return." there is nothing sacred about the ten foot goal height for college players. Let the rules body quit stalling and install a twelve foot goal that will forever take care of the double trouble. The rules of basketball insure the right oe weary player, without interference, of his position on the floor. How then cm you stop a seven foot skyscraping behemoth from dunking the ball into a ten foot goal? But a twelve foot goal is another story. He will have plenty of trouble shooting the ball into a twelve foot goal, the same trouble that any shorter player will have. The higher goal will be a real advantage to the little man because the added height will lessen the taller man's effectiveness by requiring both men to shoot. The muscles of the eyes are as easily accommodated to height as they are to distance, hence the highep goal is no more of an obstacle to a player than shooting from an added distance out on the court.
