ee Phog Allen B lasting Again—. Thi isTimeat t Cage Rules Body LAWRENCE, Kan., Apr. 30—Dr., Forrest C. “Phog” Allen, an old hand |at producing fearsome basketball teams ‘at Kansas University, let loose a verbal | barrage at the rules committee today for | its recent changes, aiming his blast par- eee at the ‘‘anti-goalie’’ mandate. | Allen claims the new rule prohibiting ‘tall players from touching the ball. on its downward flight to the basket fails to | take into consideration the fact that most players don’t shoot arching shots, but | “skimmers.” The veteran coach says raising the. basket to 12-feet from the floor would be a better solution. “The committee didn’t meet the issues squarely,” Phog charged, “because it did nothing about the tall player on offense— the ones who can add their height to their jump and push the ball down through the basket.” Phog, however, praised the new wun- limited substitution rule, but condemned the change allowing five personal fouls instead of the previous four. The good doctor of cage lore concluded his blast at the committee with a con- demnation of the new rule permitting officials to halt play any time for an injured player. ‘The new rule will plague officials and rulemakers just as it did | Phog Allen before being changed to the one just abolished. When in force before, players were able to fake injuries when their opponents had the ball in scoring position.”
