4. Goal Tending. It is believed that goal tending
would be eliminated if the team whose player touched th® ball in
its downward flight following a shot,before the ball has hit the
backboard or the rim of the basket, be penalized by awarding the goal
to the opposing team.

5. Uniform Signals for Officials. Uniform signals for
officials would assist spectators, scorers, players and coaches in
recognizing the cause of the foul. This would eliminate considerable
"crabbing" by the players, and provide information for the spectators
which would add to their enjoyment of the game, and possibly aid in
eliminating "booing".

6. Ten Second Rule. The committee that the ten second
Rule has lost its importance in present day basketball,
because of the aggressive styles of defense now employed. Teams
who desireto stall can do so in the front courts as effectively as
formerly in the back court. The committee realizes it would be
aifficult to eliminate this rule, but fcels it is a ruling that
modern basketball has outgrown. It has been suggested that some
solution might be found in employment of the rule duringthe last
five minutes of the game only.

The above may not be a large contribution,as compared
to the many changes proposed in previous years. However, we
shoulda like to accede to the demand by coaches from all parts of the
country that we "leave tho rules alone and catch up to the
new game".
