Pros 24-Second Cage Rule Worries College Coaches
New York—(U.P.)—Professional basketball's new 24-second rule has the college coaches worried today about their game's spectator appeal and there is concrete proof in the seemingly radical remarks of NYU's Howard Cann and Manhattan's Ken Norton.
The pros took basketball back almost to its original concept this season with their rule which gives a team only 24 seconds to get off a shot after it gains possession. The prevents stalling and obviates the necessity of fouling to get possession of the ball in the game's late stages.
Cann made no secret of his preference for the 24-second rule—as well as the pros' 12-foot wide foul lane—and the tipoff of collegiate changes to come is that he was seconded all the way by Norton, a member of the College Rules committee.
But Cann went even farther when he called for outlawing of the zone and relaxation of the Nov. 1 deadline at which college basketball practice may be started.
"We have to get rid of the zone," Cann insisted stoutly. "When Penn State and LaSalle used it last year in the NCAA semi-finals, the stands were almost empty at the end of the quarter."
Asserting that college basketball is "stuffed by too many rules and regulations." Cann attacked the Nov 1 practice as a bit of legislation aimed at basketball and football while such sports as crew, track and baseball have unlimited freedom.
do "The NCAA and a lot of colleges are worried about what to do about college basketball." he added. "Well, we should take some lessons from the pros. I like the new 24 second rule and with their 12-foot foul lane there are no cheap tap-in haskets."
Norton told the New York basketball Writers association in a subsequent talk that he, too, would like the 24-second rule.
the 24-26 season.
"It brings basketball back to the game, it should be played, back to its basic principles," he argued. It eliminates hacking to get the ball and it permits plenty of time without encouraging bad shots.
Norton also expressed interest in

"The Rules committee has discussed all these items." Norton revealed, "and something surely will be done."

It had better be, certainly, or the pros with what is now a real fine game are going to wind up with all of the customers—and don't let the colleges tell you they aren't interested in the gate.
4 Shockers Win Berths On All-Valley Team
St. Louis, Mo.-(U.P.)—Champion Wichita's sensational sophomore passing combination—Jack Conway to Jim Klisanin—was selected today in the backfield of the United Press All-Missouri Valley conference football team.
The team of stars, including two other Shockers from Coach Jack Mitchell's fabulous once-beaten crew, was dominated by undergraduates.
The only unanimous first-team choice was Oklahoma A&M's powerful fullback, Earthquake Earl Lamsford. The 180-pound junior from Stillwater, Okla., tops the MVC in scoring with nine touchdowns and is one of the nation's leading groundgainers.
For its air arm, the UP board of experts picked the Valley's top passer in Conway, 18-year-old quarterback who tossed 25 completions for 642 yards and nine touchdowns to lead the Shockers to their first crown in the nine years they have been in the conference.
Kifisan, Conway's most consistent target, was chosen at halfback. The 20-year-old broken field runner—also considered a potential professional at shortstop in baseball—ranks second in ball-lugging with 527 yards and was on the receiving end of eight aerials. He scored five touchdowns.
Lee Riley, one of Detroit's "touchdown twins," received votes on every ballot but one to take the other halfback post. He ranks high in yardage and scoring with another game to play.
A sophomore also won an end berth. He is Romnie Emberg, Houston's 210-pound receiver, who spent four of his 25 years in the Air Force. The other end is Neil Sikes of Wichita.
Lunsford, Riley and center Al Baumgart, Detroit, were the only repeaters from the 1953 UP roll.
Guards Ralph Dentons, t h e Shockers' 21-year-old honorable mention in the UP All-America poll, and Joe Belluson, Detroit's outstanding pro prospect, received the most votes among linemen. Only two pollsters failed to name Denton to the first team, and every voter named Belluson, although three placed him on the second string.
They are two of only five seniors named to the All-MVC eleven. Leland Kendall and Don Holcomb, both of Oklahoma A&M, were picked at the tackle positions. Jim Sippy, Wichita's other halfback, barely missed displacing Klisanin as even the Shockers' other signal-caller. Connie Hoffmans, got enough recognition for a second-team berth.
