No Five-Foul Rule For Women's AAU
Coaches and officials attending the Women's National AAU tournament decided yesterday that women's basketball is rough enough as it is and permitting players a fifth foul before they are sent from the game would be too much.
Four proposed changes were submitted to the rules committee for consideration. They are:
(1) Permitting waiver of a free throw to keep possession of the ball.
(2) Making the distance between the basket and the end line the same as under men's rules so that courts need not be tailored for women's games.
(3) Unlimited substitution.
(4) Liberalization of the pass out rule following baskets.

Dual Track Meet Scheduled With OU
Track team members have been working under the stadium the last few days during the bad weather and are hoping for a chance to get out on the track again. Coach Ray Kanehl announced lest week that a dual meet with Oklahoma University has been scheduled for April 15 to be held at Norman.
Navy Supply Service Excellent Says Porter
Several new men have reported to Coach Kanehl and prospects for a good track team are looking better. The majority of the candidates are inexperienced but are improving comparably. The outcome of the meet with Oklahoma will furnish some idea of the Jayhawker's possibilities in the outdoor Big Six meet.
Supply service to remote navy hospitals is excellent according to Condr. J. M. Porter, Kansas physician and University graduate who addressed an audience in Fraser hall Thursday afternoon.

Nearly 150 persons heard Commander Porter tell of his experiences with the Navy in the Pacific, where he has been stationed for two years.
years.
Stating that he would "rather be known as a doctor than as an officer." Porter told in a general way about his work as a Navy doctor. He was not allowed to tell where he had been stationed.
Commander Porter explained a little about military courtesy, which he believes is not over-emphasised. "It is no more than the common courtesy you would show any way," the Commander said, "and the people you find in the service measure up to the exceptionally fine standard found in the medical profession in civilian life."
the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
The amount of military red tape is no more than one would expect to find in such a large organization, he believes. While not particularly interesting such statistical work must be done.
In answer to questions after his talk, Porter said that, although he had not been allowed to specialize in the work he has been doing, he believed that the Navy would make possible such specialization in its post war planning.
Commander Porter was graduated from the University in 1921, and received his degree in medicine from Harvard university a few years later. He had been practicing in Concordia for 15 years before he was called to the Navy.

Basketball season is over for practically the whole country. But down in a little section of Florida there is still one more tournament going on. Eight women teams are going to battle this week for honors in an invitational tourney. When that important affair is completed the basketball season will be just about "thirty," and the official season for "second-guessing" will be on with no time limit to obey.
