UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1948
By BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Editor
One change suggested for college basketball, and one which has been plugged by coaches from various regions, is the delayed whistle. Under the delayed style, the whistle would be withheld on a foul, until the play has been carried out, as in football.
Howard Cann, coach of the unbeaten N.Y.U. Violets has this to say about the delay proposal:
"When an official detects a foul in football he drops a red handkerchief to indicate that a foul has been committed, but he does not stop the play. If the team with the ball is fouled, and goes through with the play successfully, the play is legal. If the offensive team loses ground on the play, or does not make a substantial gain, it has the right to accent the penalty.
"That is what we need in basketball. When a player starts his drive for the basket and is fouled as he breaks into the clear, the official should designate to the scorers that he has been fouled—by using a red handkerchief or some other effective means.
"Then, if the player goes on and makes the basket it should be allowed and written into the scorebook. If he misses the try for the basket, the official should sound his whistle and allow him to shoot the foul."
Such a ruling in basketball would have helped the Jayhawkers intensely Monday night. Several times Kansas players, notably post man Jack Eskridge, would wheel in and sink a shot only to have the goal nullified and get one free toss.
Eliot Cushing of the Rochester, N.X., Democrat-Chronicle points out that this very play is the reason that Coach Cann's N.Y.U. team is one of the nation's two unbeaten teams. With the Violets leading Temple 55 to 54 Saturday and only nine seconds remaining in the game, Temple's Nelson Bobb stole the ball and drove in for the winning basket.
Referee Jocko Collins ruled, however, that Violet guard Ray Lumpp had fouled Bobb before he shot. Instead of getting credit for making the winning basket, Bobb became the goat for missing the tying free loss. But what else could Referee Collins do under the present rules?

A word of explanation on the technical foul called on Kansas' Otto Schnellbacher Monday night on an out-of-bounds play under the Kansas basket. The technical foul was not called because Schnellbacher was protesting, but because the situation calls for a technical foul rather than a personal.
According to the basketball rules, ANY foul called while the ball is out of play is automatically a technical, whether or not it involves bodily contact.

Holy Cross Wallops Temple To Stay In Cage Spotlight
New York, Feb. 11—(UP)—There was more evidence from the Holy Cross Crusaders today that they will be in the thick of things when it comes time to defend their N.C.A.A. basketball championship next month
The Crusaders gave their most impressive performance of the season Tuesday night when they trounced Temple, 71 to 44, at the Boston garden.
For eight minutes the Temple Owls, who earlier in the year beat Kentucky and last week lost by only one point to unbeaten New York U., led the Crusaders, but after that the N.C.A.A. champions ran riot. Holy Cross led 35 to 23 at the half and continued to pile it up in the second half.
The second game of the Boston garden twin bill saw Bowling Green of Ohio overwhelm Boston college, 74 to 48, as six-foot, 10 inch center Charlie Share scored 14 points.
DefPaul's Blue Demons registered their 16th win in 20 games by troubling Lawrence Tech of Detroit, 73 to 58 and paced the Demons with 18 points.
Washington State, leader in the Northern division of the Pacific Coast conference, came from behind by 10 points to beat Idaho, 38 to 35, in a conference game.
Another lop-sided triumph was scored by Marquette, which used only one first string player in beating Loyola of the South, 81 to 52.
Washburn Upsets Emporia Teachers
Emporia, Kan., Feb. 11—(UP) — Emporia State college lost its first Kansas Central conference game in 15 starts to Washburn university, 66 to 58, here last night.
The Washburn victory gave them undisputed possession of first place in the standings with five victories against one loss. Emporia has a record of four and one.
The Ichabods gave a torrid exhibition of floor accuracy, connecting on 44.8 percent of their field goal attempts. The victors jumped into a 9 to 1 lead in the first few minutes of play which Emporia could never overcome. Washburn led, 33 to 26, at halftime.
Wesleyan Moves Up In Kansas Race
Baldwin, Kan., Feb. 11—(UP)—Kansas Wesleyan took over second place in the Kansas Conference basketball standings here last night, defeating the Baker quintet, 53 to 51. The victory gave Wesleyan five victories against two losses and left Baker with a five and three record.
Top Bowlers Stretch Lead
The pace-setting Pi Kappa Alpha keglers will meet the fourth place Sig Alph's and Sigma Nu will face the Tekes in the feature pairings of the Inter-Fraternity bowling league Thursday.
Pi K. A. now holds a two-game lead over the Sigma Nu's with five weeks, or 15 games, remaining. Triangle, which entered the league five weeks late, has pulled up to a strong third with 16 wins and eight losses.
The three leaders all swept their series last week, but the surprise performance was by Triangle, which knocked off the Sig Alph's in all three. Gene Royer was the hot-shot for the engineers, posting a 235, new high 10 for the season, and a 548 series to walk off with individual honors for the night.
Sigma Nu cornered team honors as they took three from the Kappa Sig's. They rolled a 790 high team score and a 2328 high series.

Five and twenty blackbirds were baked in a pie (food was flying high in those days too)
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing (the pie was half-baked, but the birds were probably stewed)
Now wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king?
