Rules Committee Fails to Benefit Basketball
Allen
Rule changes made at the 1945 session of the National Basketball committee in New York are not the least significant according to Dr. F. J. "Phog" Allen, the Jayhawk basketball coach.
"The 'do-nothing' rules committee et" he said today, "and fulfilled my indest expectations." Dr. Allen inks, "they were along for the me, and to have a nice visit."
"If the rules committee in base-l functioned like this one, they'd ill be playing 'one old cat,' Dr. len charged.
unking' Ball Permissable
speaking of the change liberalization, the rule on touching the basket the offensive team, the Kansas mentor said that now it will be legal the tall men to "dunk" the ball, strongly recommended one of the opposals that was referred to research at the meeting, the suggestions that all jumps after the ball be moved to the nearest circle.
number of Fouls Increases
"The coaches and the committee now that there is something wrong with the game but they haven't done anything important to improve it," "dog" said. The center jump after ils was eliminated to remove the phasis on the tall man, he exlined, but the tall men are even in demand because of the pream on rebounds.
"Doc" pointed out that increasing number of permissible fools did thing but make the game rougher, on his records he showed that the number of fouls committed by the masas team exceeded that of last ar by 25 per cent.

The two tall men of basketball, George Mikan and Robert Kurland, will face each other tonight in an attempt to see which has the better ball team behind him. De Paul, winner of the National Invitational championship, will tangle with the Oklahoma Aggies, winner of the N.C.A.A. championship, in Madison Square Garden to determine the mythical national cage champion.
Mikan Scores 120 Points
Mikan and Kurland Meet As DePaul Plays Oklahoma
Entry blanks for the men's intramural track meet are made out and can be obtained at the office of Ray Kanehl, assistant intramurals director, he announced this morning.
Kurland, star of the Oklahoma A. & M. five, has been cited as the outstanding player in the recently completed N.C.A.A. play-offs, while Mikan stole the National Invitation show by scoring 120 points in three games. For both five the titles were their first major championships.
Both boys have plenty of support from their teammates, and tonight will undoubtedly see who has the more backing. Cecil Hankins has proved the Aggies' best operative, while either Whitey Kachan or Gene Stump of the De Paul team can hit consistently. Hankins got hot against N.Y.U. in the N.C.A.A. finals Tuesday night and scored 15 points for the Aggies while Kurland was boxed up in the third quarter.
Managers to Obtain Track Entry Blanks
The blanks should be filled out by the intramural managers and be brought with them to the managers' meeting to be held in Room 203, Robinson gymnasium, at 7:20 p.m. next Tuesday.
SPEECH---makers much of the time were a step or half step behind the flying Oilers and personal fouls are the natural results by the defensive man in this situation.

What the news releases didn't carry concerning the Denver Ambrose - Bartlesville Phillips championship A.A.U. contest last Saturday night is this:
Sportorials
In the third quarter of the ball game, the Ambrose five held a 40-27 lead over the Oilers, but Jack McCracken, Denver star, had fouled three times. Instead of pulling McCracken and playing tight ball the rest of the way, the Jellymakers then tried to run up as large a score as they could. In the last quarter, however, McCracken fouled out, and with him went the Denver five's lead. Blowing 12 point lead in eight minutes is somewhat of an achievement, but the Jellymakers did it.
How Did It Happen?
By EARL BARNEY
Denver sports pages have spent the first part of this week trying to figure out just how their hometown team accomplished the feat. The easiest explanation seemed to be this. The Phillips' speed and elusiveness, not just on the first stringers but down to the last substitute, more than anything else caused the excessive fouling, which after all, is why the Jellymakers lost. Four Denver men, including McCracken, left the game via the four route. The Jelly-
Contest to Draw 18,000 Fans
Watkins, Kappa, and Pi Phi are the winners of the three divisions in table tennis, Miss Hoover announced today.
The contest, together with the Bowling Green-New York university game which preceded it, is expected to draw over 18,000 screaming fans. Six out of the seven tournament double-headers this season have drawn over 18,000 fans to the Garden.
Pi Phi, Kappa and Watkins Hall Win Table Tennis Games
hackers. Gamma Phi and Kappa won their games automatically last night when Locksley forfeited to Gamma Phi and Delta Gamma forfeited to Kappa.
Kappa Semi-finals will be played Monday at 4:30 between Watkins and Pi Phi, Miss Hoover said, and the finals will be played Wednesday at 4:30 between Kappa and the winner of the semi-finals.
Another instance of Denver folly is the following. With one and a half minutes remaining and still possessing a 1 point lead, Denver star, Ace Gruenig, elected to shoot a free throw when most of the spectators thought he should have taken it out of bounds. Gruenig missed the toss, giving the Phillips team the ball, and eventually, the winning bucket.
Incidentally, the A.A.U. still plays basketball under the old four foul ruling, which ousted many a player who would still be playing on a college floor.
To Score or Not to Score?
According to a late report from Boston, Negroes will be given equal opportunity with other races to play major league baseball in Boston this season. The city council of Boston has demanded equal opportunities for colored players, and threatened to oppose Sunday baseball unless the Negro was given a right to make the grade in the majors.
