NORGREN, THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SECRETARY-TREASURER January 15, 1959 (Rules and Recommendations Committee) Gy, FF. CG. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas My dear Dr. Allen: I have refrained from writing you concerning Rules-Recommendations during the early part of the season. No doubt, you feel that there have been too many changes in the rules during the past few years. I subscribe to this view. However, I believe the following suggestion to be a good one and offer it for your consideration. When a player of the losing team deliberately and intentionally fouls an oppon- ent in order to secure possession of the ball, award one foul instead of two, but and also, sive the team which has been fouled possession of the ball either in their front court or at the division line in the center of the court. Time out to be called during the free-throw. If you have any recommendation concerning the above proposed rule change, will you please advise me. I wish you continued success in the present basketball season. Sinceretey, CFB:GG air F, Bee, Chairman Rules-Recommendation Committee
