Phog Gives New York Cage Rule 'Gospel'
By OSCAR FRALEY United Sports Writer
New York, Dec. 12—(U.P.)-Fire-eating Phog Allen of Kansas made his annual trip to the big town today to pit his Jayhawk basketteers against St. John's and fired a series of shots which are going to be heard around the basketball world.
Prefacing his remarks with the statement that he didn't want to "hurt anybody," the veteran coach insisted that:
1. The center jump was "sold down the river" by the Pacific Coast Conference and the Big Ten, and should be reinstated with a rotation plan which would help eliminate the "goon."
COACH "PHOG" ALLEN
2. The opposition taking the ball out of bounds after a foul shot was "the silliest thing in the world" and penalized a team for scoring.
3. The basket should be raised from 10 to 12 feet.
4. College coaches should formulate their own rules without help from the A.A.U.—“a quadrennial band of trans-oceanic hitch-hikers”—whose teams are “a bunch of professionals.”
5. Eastern schools play an "efficiency brand" of pro basketball because they are coached by former pros.
Regarding the center jump being "sold down the river," Allen barked that all he would add was that it was "a political deal."
"It took us by surprise and has hockeyized basketball, making it too fast," Allen insisted, "You can't have a good game when you play it at reckless speed, it removed from basketball what the kickoff is to football."
The defense-minded Kansas coach was particularly bitter about the fouling team being given the ball after a foul shot.
"If we only have one shot, we take the ball out of bounds ourselves," he explained. "Getting only one shot and giving up the ball penalizes us instead of the fouling team." He added that the advantage of one team's center, might be to rotate every player in the iumps.
"I don't believe, either," he argued,
"that a player should be disqualified for a certain number of fouls. Let them stay in there to foul some more, but when they do foul—make them pay for it."
Allen insists that a visiting team, when it is ahead in the final two minutes of play, is "murdered" when it takes the ball out of bounds.
"To counteract that," he suggested, "there should be two shots on a flagrant foul whether a player is shooting or not."
As for Eastern basketball, he said they are a lot "smarter and sharper."
"This is not a moral situation," he placated, "but it is an efficiency one. They know how to hook an alien foot, or pull a thumbs."
Nat Holman, one of the original Celtics of pro fame now coaching at C.C.N.Y., derided Allen's statement as "a lot of unmitigated hooey" and insisted that elimination of the center jump gave "every team a chance to get its hands on the ball, whether or not it had height."

World Wide News
Saigon, Indo-China—(U.P.)—The French began evacuating their women and children from Indo-China today as Communists menaced the northern capital of Hanoi.
Post-Operation Room Set Up
The room, accommodating six beds, has a resuscitor, a positive pressure oxygen administering apparatus, bronchoscopes for removing airway obstructions, transfusion sets and blood, and apparatus to check the amount of oxygen a patient receives.
A post-operative recovery room, staffed by a nurse especially trained in the care of patients recovering from a general anesthetic, has been set up at the University Medical school hospital in Kansas City.
The School of Medicine hospital is the first in the greater Kansas City area to have such a recovery room.
The room will prevent loss of life from unnoticed respiratory obstruction, shock from need for blood, or post anesthesia depression because the patients can be watched more closely by a nurse especially trained in post-anesthesia care, Dr. Paul Lorhan, chief of the anesthesia department, said.
