Procedure During Game: Start the watch or clock when the official whistles as the ball leaves his hands for the toss to start the game. . Except at the end of a period, stop the watch or clock only on order from the officials, and immediately start a time-out watch. Situations for which the officials will order time-out are as follows: a) When a foul is called, the Official's signal is first for time out, then for the foul. b) When an Official, after suspending play for a substitution, Signals the substitute or substitutes to enter, ec) When ordered by an Official because of delay in obtaining the ball, as when it lodges in the support of the basket or rolls under seats; or retrieving ball when out of bounds on courts bounded by a large out of bound area. d) When an Official grants a player's request for time-out, such request being granted only when the ball is dead or in con- trol of this player's team. e) When an Official Suspends play becauss of injury toa player. f) When an Official suspends play for the removal of a dis- qualified player. NOTE: Under (c) of the foregoing, play may be suspended only when the ball is dead, or in control of the injured player's team, or upon completion of a play by the opponents. Completion of a play means that the opponents have thrown for goal, lost control of the ball, or withheld the ball from play by ceasing to attempt to score or to advance the ball to a scoring position. When time-out is declared for a team as provided in (d), (e), and (f) of Section 1, a time-out shall be charged to that team for each minute or fraction thereof consumed, except that in case of injury or disqualification no time-out shall be charged if the injured or disqualified player leaves the game within one minute and if no more than an additional thirty seconds is consumed in completing the substitution.

Time-in: After time has out the game watch or clock shall be started when the Official signals time-in. If this follows a) a free throw for a double foul, the Official signals time- in by blowing his whistle as the ball leaves his hands on the toss at center, b) a free throw for any other foul, the Official signals time-in by a chopping motion of his hand after the last free throw, including any substitute free throw, this signal being given (1) as soon as it is evident that the ball will go into play by a re- bound, or (2) if the throw is successful, or is for a technical foul, or if the ball is awarded out of bounds for any other reason, as soon as the ball crosses the boundary line when it is thrown into play; c) a period when time has been out for any other reason. Signals: a) For any foul the Official raises his arm (or arms) above his head, b) When a substitution is to be made, the Official motions for the substitute to come on the floor. c) When there is to be a charged time-out or an Officials' time-out for a technical foul or any other stoppage, the Official will hold the palms of his hands (with both arms crossing over- head) toward the Timer. After completion of time-out, start the watch or clock on signal from an Official. He will signal for time-in by a chopping motion of the hand or with the whistle. Watch for the signal at the following times: a) When play is resumed by a throw-in from out of bounds the signal will be given when the ball crosses the plane of the bound- ary line. b) When the ball is to be in play following a missed free throw the signal will be given as soon as it is evident that the throw is not successful. This occurs after a single free throw for a personal foul and after the last throw of a multiple throw if at least one throw is for a personal foul. c) If play is to be resumed by a jump the whistle is the sig- nal to start the watch or clock and it will be sounded as the ball leaves the official's hands for the toss. Note that play is re- sumed by a jump at center after a double foul or fouls by both teams which are administered the same as a double foul. Procedure at End of Period: Fire pistol at end of period. If you are unable to make the Official hear the signal, go on the floor immediately to notify him.

Jayhawk Rebounds “...2% Number 1 THIS YEAR’S CAGE PROSPECTS As unpredictable a team as Dr. F. C. Allen has ever faced a season with, will take the court for the Jayhawks this winter. Questions of physical wellbeing and men playing up to their natural ability are very much in the picture. Two trick knees may wreck the Jayhawks’ chances this season. Ralph Miller’s famous knee held up during football, but will be put to much greater strains on the court. Miller, lanky forward, was second high scorer in the Big Six during the 1939-40 season, the last time he was in action on the court. Big things are expected of him. To add to the uncertainty, Marvin Sollen- berger, junior guard, suffered a recurrence of an old high school knee injury recently and he may be bothered by that all season. Sol- lenberger, husky guard, is the only regular returning from last year’s Big Six co-cham- pions. Other lettermen back in action this season are T. P. Hunter, forward or guard; Vance Hall, forward; John Buescher, forward; Charles Walker, guard; and Bob Johnson, guard, who like Miller was a letterman on the 1940 squad. Don Blair and Browder Richmond are squadmen back. Up from last year’s outstanding first freshman team come Jack Ballard and Charlie Black, forwards; Paul Turner, center; and Ray Evans and “‘Red’’ Ettinger, guards. Max Kissell, sophomore forward, is the most im- proved player on the squad and should be a valuable reserve. Evans, one of the finest Jayhawk court prospects in recent years is expected to take over the ‘‘quarterback’’ spot left vacant by the graduation of Bob Allen. Evans is a superb all-around ball player. Miller, Evans and Sollenberger look like certain starters this season, with letterman John Buescher likely to hold down a forward berth. The fifth regular probably will be either Charlie Black, T. P. Hunter or Charlie Walker. Nothing is certain about the lineup, however. Reserve strength will be no problem with the fine crop of sophomores on hand, but whether some of the men in key positions will perform up to their natural ability is an item of concern. The Jayhawks should have their usual polished ball handling team, and power on offense should be plentiful. The defense, while not as reassuring, has possibilities of developing fast.

Doctor Forrest C. Allen goes into his 25th year as head varsity coach at the Univer- sity, as his oldest son, Milton ‘‘Mitt’” Allen, makes his debut in coaching circles as freshman mentor. “Mitt”, who returned to the University last year to work toward a law degree, is serving as fresh- man coach without remuneration. He starred on the Jayhawk basketball teams of 1935 and 1936. Last year’s crack freshman team was labelled by Doctor Allen as possibly the finest in the school’s history. While ‘“Mitt’’ does not regard his charges of the present campaign that highly, he does believe that the freshman squad is almost as well-balanced as the yearling squad of last year. Top prospects in the workouts to date have been Bill Brill, a guard, and Otto Schnellbacher, forward. Brill played on the same high school team with Ray Evans at Wyandotte high in Kan- sas City, Kan., and was rated as an exceptional Prospect. Schnellbacher, who hails from Sublette, was probably the most sensational scorer ever seen in the western part of the state. His average last year was around 20 points a game. Brill and Schnellbacher carry only a slim edge over some of the other yearlings, however, with a number of fine prospects headed for the varsity. Several of the freshmen cagers opposed each other in state championship games last winter. Kenny Thompson, fiery little ‘‘quarterback’’, and Walter Verbanic, guard, played on the Wyandotte high team which defeated Salina in the final game of the Class AA tournament, John Short, yearling guard, was a member of the Salina team. Captain of the Lyons high team which won the Class A tournament was Don Maison, a forward. He is now a teammate of Bill Forsyth, star of the Medicine Lodge team, which bowed to Lyons. Kansas City, Kan., has the largest representa- tion of any town on the freshman roster, with Brill, Thompson, Verbanic, Ed. Sayers, Larry Stream and Paul Carpenter. Other men on the yearling squad, in addition to those named above are Harold McSpadden, El- Dorado; Herb Kaufman, Topeka; Stan Hansen, Floyd McHenry and Bill Bauer, Kansas City, Mo.; Warren Jacks, Coats; Bob Groom, Wichita; Armand Dixon and Lewis Musick, Hermosa Beach, Calif.; Bob Corder, Welda; Robert Heaston, Baldwin; and Bob Siddons, Platte, S.
