“PHOG” ALLEN
GETS ANOTHER
BRAIN TANTRUM

| LAWRENCE, Kan., Feb. 22—
(AP)—Dr. F. C. Allen, Kansas’
university basketball coach who
‘advocates raising the baskets to
lessen the advantage of tall play-|
ers, has a new idea. —

He would create 4 safety zone!
around each goal and, in effect,
‘virtually eliminate all shots with-
in eight feet of the baskets.

Allen said the center jump was
‘eliminated because of tall men
but “instead of. driving tall play-
ers out of the game the demand
for them became even greater.
A team no longeris defeated in
the center of the court, at the
jump, but at the backboards.”

His safety zone would be a 16
foot circle with the basket as a
cente.. Players could dribble in
or out of the circle but could
not drive in and shoot if another
player was in the ring.

Allen:-also would abolish tip-in
shots.
