Page 6 University Daily Kansan Tuesday, April 10, 1956. BY LOUIS STROUP (Assistant Sports Editor of The Daily Kansan) The NCAA basketball rules committee simply can't leave the game alone. Basketball is the only game where the rules body is constantly revising the playing code to hamper the stars. In the new rules, which become effective next year, players will not be allowed to funnel a teammate's stray sheet into the basket until the ball has touched the backboard or the rim of the goal. This new rule seems to be a direct slap at KU's great freshman Wilt Chamberlain. It is an honor, we are sure, that an untried college basketball player should be considered so good that other coaches have to pass rules in an attempt to cut him down to their size. But it is a shame to penalize a tall man in his own sport. There have been tall cagers before whose presence caused rules to be changed. The rules committee wrote a special rule to prevent Bob Kurland of Oklahoma A&M from goal-tending and they widened the free throw lane to 12 feet in an effort to slow San Francisco's Bill Russell. The new rule is just as foolish as it would be to pass a rule in football stating that no player could weigh more than 225 pounds so that the little guy would stand a chance. Or in baseball, to invent a rule that a pitcher could not pitch the ball faster than 30 miles-per-hour. In football—the heavy man's sport—a little guy can make the grade if he has got what it takes, and the same thing should apply to basketball—the tall man's sport. If a small guy has the talent, then it doesn't matter that he is not as tall as the next guy. An example. Robin Freeman, No. 2 scorer in the nation this year, is under the six-foot mark. So let's quit penalizing a player for being tall. However, in Wilt's case, he will make opposing coaches wish they had outlawed tall players all together when he gets through touring the cage circuit next winter. Good luck Wilt! SUA To Host Bowling Meet The Student Union Activities bowling committee is sponsoring the first of what is hoped will become an annual event, the Kansas Invitational Bowling telegraphic tournament. Lowell Heinz, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, chairman of the SUA bowling committee and president of the unofficial KU Bowling Association, said competitors in the tourney, which is to be held April 22 at the Jay Bowl of the Student Union, will include Big Seven schools, as well as Oklahoma A&M. To be eligible for the 10-man KU team, the top 24 University bowlers will compete in a six-game roll-off at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 15. The "roll-off" entries will be determined from established averages in league competition. On April 16, the top five players in the SUA league, plus one substitute, will represent KU in the National Intercollegiate Bowling telegraphic tournament. Before modern rules, the longest boxing match in history was 110 rounds between Jack Burke and Andy Bowen. JERRY WAUGH 'Sheriff Of Sumner County Was Captain, Top Defender "I am very honored to be appointed to the post of assistant basket ball coach," said Jerry Waugh, former captain and star guard of the University of Kansas 1948-51 basketball team in an interview today Waugh, who captained the basket- ball team in the 1950-51 season be- fore bowing out at mid-term due to an eligibility ruling, scored 562 points in his career from 1948 to 1951. He also started 82 of 85 varsity games, which is considered a record in the Big Seven. Known as "The Sheriff of Summer County," because of his outstanding defensive play, Waugh averaged slightly over 6 points a game during his college career. His outstanding traits during his collegiate career, other than his fine defensive play, wore sportsmanship and team leadership. Even when Waugh was forced to bow out in the middle of the 1950-51 season, he still displayed the fine sportsmanship and conduct of a truly great player of the game. Coached at Emporia, Lawrence Coached at Emporia, Lawrence Become coming to KU, to take over the pause of Emporial and Lawrence coached at Emporia, and Lawrence High Schools. While having no out- standing teams at Emporia, however, guide the team into the semi-finals of the State Tourney in 1954. He then came to Lawrence High School where he coached few only two years, but steered Lawrence to a tie for the Northeast Kansas League title, its first championship since 1948. Commenting on the coming season, Coach Waugh said, "Of course there is a lot of fine material but we can't tell as yet how they will develop, and it is hard to say the team is really going to be great." When asked about Wilt Chamberlain, KU's great freshman whose eligibility has been questioned lately, he said, "His play in the frosh games is not indicative of his true abilities. No one has really seen what he can do, but, I think that he, with his physical capabilities, can be as good as he wants." The United States has failed only twice to win the 100 meters, and the 200 meters races in the Olympic games. Paavo Nurmi of Finland won the only two Olympic 10,000 meter cross-country races in history. Wilt Chamberlain, KU's 7-foot freshman basketball player, recently denied charges that he played for pay when he was 16 years old. Wilt Eligible Harp Says Dick Harp, newly appointed KU coach, said that he has talked with Chamberlain and is satisfied with his denial. Harp further stated that he knows little about the "rumor" and is not at all concerned about his highly publicized varsity prospect's eligibility. "All I know is what I read in the papers, but Wilt denies that he has ever accepted pay for playing basketball, and that's enough for me," Harp said. (Editor's note: Although several attempts were made to reach Chamberlain, he was unavailable for any comment.) The question of Chamberlain's amateur status arose after heated verbal exchanges between Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen, KU's recently retired coach, and Col. Harry Henshel, chairman of the Olympic basketball committee, when Hensel accused the towering freshman of having accepted money for playing in Cumberland, Md., as a 16-year-old. Hensel said the information was made available to him when there was talk of Chamberlain going out for the Olympic team, which, according to Hensel, is his authority for entering into the question of a freshman's amateur standing. Cloyd Boyer, a pitcher for the Kansas City Athletics last year, has been sold to Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League. Athletic officials announced today. Cash terms of the sale were not disclosed. Boyer's record last year was five won and five lost. Boyer Sold To Sacramento There are 142 baseball players and managers in Baseball's Hall of Fame. SATURDAY, APRIL 14 'Big Bob' Dougherty NOW AT THE GOLDEN ARROW In North Lawrence, Cross The River, Turn Right On Elm St. The KU tennis team will play a total of nine scheduled meets, in addition to the Big Seven tournament, this season, starting with the University of Tulsa at 2 p.m. Saturday, at the stadium courts. Tennis Team Prepares For Non-League Tulsa Saturday In preparation for the contest with this non-league fee, varsity netmen have been engaged in a pre-season qualification "ladder" tournament, which carried on through spring vacation for many of the netters. Riley Takes Trip Bob Riley, Big Seven singles champion and No.1 man on Coach Dick Mechem's five-man squad, took advantage of a vacation in Texas to test his talents against John Been, three-time holder of the Missouri Valley singles title and No.1 man for the Houston Cougars. No supremacy decision was reached however, as the Riley-Been match was merely an unofficial, "friendly" workout. Brothers Dave and Gene Kant played-off their match for the varsity No. 2 spot in Kansas City, Kan. during the vacation, and returning letterman Dave proved that experience is a big factor by defeating his sophomore brother Gene G-6, 2-3. Games Postponed An exhibition match against a team of unattached amateurs and a trip to Baldwin for a practice against Baker University this week have been postponed as a result of the sudden change in weather conditions. The intra-squad "ladder" tournament will continue throughout the entire season, so that any player may challenge the man above him for the latter's position on the varsity. Coach Mechem will announce the line-up for the meet with Tulsa later in the week. At present the varsity rankings, starting with the No. 1 man, are Bob Riley, Dave Kane, Gene Kane, Bruce Wenger, and Del Hadley. Challenge matches played this week could alter completely this order. 1956 Tennis Schedule April 14-Tulsa at Lawrence April 15-Washburn at Lawrence April 21-Nebraska at Lincoln April 23-Tulsa at Tulsa April 26-Iowa State at Lawrence April 27-Missouri at Columbia April 4-Washburn at Topeka May 5-Missouri at Lawrence May 8-Kansas State at Lawrence May 18-Big Seven Conference Meet at & 19 Manhattan Braves Club Brooklyn 8-4 Del Crandall lashed out four hits and Hank Aaron got three in leading Milwaukee to an 8 to 4 triumph over the World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers Monday at Louisville, Ky.

Allen's remark that Cunningham made "$1,000 a night" when he was America's top amateur miler in the 1830's, says that Dr. Alen is mistaken. Cunningham, former KU miler, made his reply to a Kansas City Times reporter. "Phog is misinformed on that point. It just isn't correct. Some of the runners in my day couldn't even get expenses. They would receive as little as $65 to go to New York or Boston. As a result they used to hitch-hike." WU Tackle Named To College All-Stars Wellman, a member of the Wheatshocker team that tied Detroit last fall for the Missouri Valley title, will be the first Wichita gridder to play in the All-Star classic.
