PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS TUESDAY, JANUARY 21. 1936 Dr. Allen Answers Bunn's Question On Center Jump Article by Stanford Coach Was Printed in the Athletic Journal Recently Recently John Bunn, basketball coach at Stanford University, formerly freshman basketball coach at the University and a Kansas letterman, has an article "Should the Center Jump Be Banned?" in a recent issue of the Athletic Journal. To Coach Bunn's question, his former mentor, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach at the University, replies, "No!" "The center jump gives the element of uncertainty, and adds to the thrill of the game," said Dr. Allen, commenting on Coach Bunn's article. "Why ban the center jump while continuing the jump for held balls" he asked. Center Jump Hard To Judge "Coach Bunn uses the center jump is one of the hardest plays for the official to judge, and results in wild scrambles about the jumping players. The Rules committee took care of such wild scrambles as regards the free throw line, but did not see fit, last year, to use the restraining circle in the center of the floor. But there are still many players who could not be kept a proper distance from the jumpers in the center of the floor. "Or," continued Dr. Allen, "if the opponents of the center jump think the present rule puts to much premium or tall centers, why not adopt a rule of three?" Mr. Reagan asked. Let the two center jumps the first time; then the visiting right forward and his home-team guard; then the visiting left forward and his guard, and so on. The score could keep the record, and flash the proper card if the officials were in. Tall Players Valuable Tail Players Valuable "Such a plan might bring together players of all skill levels that is exactly what happens now on hold balls. Moreover, there will always be premium on tall players to recover the rebound from the backboard. "Coach Bunn says the Pacific Coast conference (he means the southern division of that conference) used the drill, the quarterback, and found that it speeded the game. Fear Too Much Speed "What I are afraid of is that there may be too much speed, both for the players and for the spectators, and I should have that has substituted speed for skill in the game." "Spectators, I feel sure, with a few hulls in the game, Continuous excitement is too much for those with weak hearts. A surprise play, cleverly and cunningly executed without doubt provides the high light of many games. Those patrons who attend games on the field or on the court work of their favorites will come again, while those going merely for the rapid-fire, shuttle, slam-band type of game will soon become satiated, and turn to other means of excitation. High Scores No Indication "Why rate a basketball game by its high basketball fans, often acclaim it on the game of the players in a 1-to-0 game." Turning to the case of the players, Dr. Allen again expressed fear that the game might be made too speedy for safety. "Formerly a 'time out' was two minutes long. Then someone discovered that the heart resumes near-normal pulsation in 45 to 60 seconds after it begins. Now the time out period has been cut to a minute, to speed the game.' Center Jump Questioned "Opponents of the center jump have had it abolished after successful free throws, and give the ball to the team scored on, with the ball at once in play. This speeds the game, and without particular harm to the player, since the ball is thrown up for a paring to make the free throw, while other players are relaxed. To put the ball in play immediately after a successful field goal, would but continue the strenuous exertion by which the goal usually is attained, giving the players no moment of relaxation. The best shot, made all the free throws; now the player fouled must make the shot. Changes, of course, may come in all the games, but I see no reason for abolishing the center jump unless all jumps are abolished, and some other rules found for putting the ball into play." Kansas Routes Nebraska 45-23 After Late Star Contamination slide door quist scored from the side of Nebraska's last points and the score was 38-22. Eling had a set-up and Holiday scored on a one-hand shot with two minutes to play. Holmer also connected on a one-hand shot and Holley closed the scoring for the evening with a free throw. (Continued from page one) Kansas has no game now until their return engagement with Iowa State at Auburn Fb. 4 and the men are going to play on Sunday, a while, at least until finals are over.

C. Allen, chairman of the two states for the Naimishmft that is being hosted by the National Association of Basketball Players. Dr. Dr. Smith to the Olympic games in Berlin next summer. E. A. Thomas, secretary of the Kansas High School Athletic Association, advises Dr. Allen that he is writing to 670 high schools throughout the state of Kansas urging that they join in the effort from every paid admission to the fund. Similar word comes from Lee K. Anderson, who writes that he has sent letters to 700 high schools in Oklahoma. Viac Trusler of the Central Conference and J. B. Miller of Tulsa assured Dr. Allen of their co-operation. The purpose of the fund is actually two-fold. The immediate purpose is to send Dr. Naisimh to Berlin where bassist Toby Schwarzer will be first time. The secondary purpose is to erect a memorial to Dr. Naisimh, either at Lawrence, where he has been a memorial faculty for 54 years, or at Springfield, where he invented the game in 1891. Oklahoma Rivals Will Meet Sooners and Henry Iba's Men Face Close Contest Tonight A basketball rivalry which is fast becoming one of the most spirited in Oklahoma will reach its height at Norland, Okla., tonight when Henry Baxa's methodical Orange Shirts from Oklahoma drive a driving Sooner on the Scout court. The Okahama lineup should be at full strength to repulse the Haven, who took their measure on Jan. 9, 25 to 18, Connelly and Nelson, two main cogs in the Sooner machine, rode the bench as the lead player turned to the lineup will give Coach Hugh McDermott a crew more nearly full strength than it has been in several games. John Paul Remy, starting guard, broke his nose last week in practice, however, and his loss will encourage the Sooners of needed defensive power. Despite the fact that the Sooners are playing on their home court, the game now promises of being close enough to win many of the games. Iba, whose Marysville Teachers created a sensation at the national A.U. tournament a few years ago, has been one of the most successful addition of four new sophomore Charles Kalus and Bill Barringer, centers who tower 6 feet 5 and 6 feet 3 respectively, and R. C. Cox and Scoy The fast-breaking Sooner offense, which was hampered in the two teams' meeting on the A. and M. court, and the slower, more methodical play of the Orange Shirts should present an interesting contrast of offensive style. Herman "Red" Nelson saved the game after the sank the sank a rebound shot in the final seconds to overcome an A. and M. lead and win the game, 31 to 30. Dan E. McGugin Is Dead Dan E.

Women's Intramurals King George V Is Dead Following Short Illness --- tryside, families were sitting up far pest their usual bedtime, awaiting news c¹ the King's death. Into the stillness of the few homes having radces came the voice of the radio announcer giving upressing word that the King had died. The fifth round of ping-pong games should be played off by Thursday. Ping-pong and basketball semi-finals and the tournament will be played off next semester. (Continued from page one) The King's death filled the simple village folk with a stunning sense of personal loss. The Privy Council met immediately to formulate instructions for official letters, and the king was informed telegraphically by the new King Edward VIII, former Prince of Wales that his father was the first to be signed "Edward." Body to Sandringham Church The dead monarch's body will be moved to Sandringham Church sometime today, it was announced. Villagers who familiarly referred to the King as the "Squire of Sandringham." revered him as a kind friend. The Queen was attended by the Princess Royal, and the Archbishop of Canterbury spoke words of consolation to her, and the royal household was anxious for the Queen who bore the strain of the past few days with unwavering fortitude. They insisted that she rest as much as possible, and the royal family much for her. She is sixty-eight. Parliament to Convene Today Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, informed of the death a few minutes after midnight, immediately instructed his secretary to prepare notices summoning both houses of Parliament to convene at 6 p.m. today. Baldwin and Baldwin's son, Andrew, awaited the news of the King's death at his official residence, No 10 Downing St. The end came so peacefully they were unaware the King was dead until one of the doctors informed them. The Queen turned to the Prince of Wales—the new King—and he affectionately invited her. The family then withdrew. The King was not in pain as he died. The Queen stood by the bed, a regal figure, with the family as the King kissed his last. Tears wiled in her eyes.

NEW "VITAMIN H" DISCOVERED BY AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTS Discovery of a new biological element which they designate "vitamin H" was announced recently by Dr. Albert B. Hogan and Dr. Luther B. Richardson, University of Missouri agricultural chemists. Absence of the vitamin from the systems of rats results in a disease akin to pellagia in human beings. Unable to isolate the element in experiments, they report obtaining strong concentrates and determining its presence in wheat germ, rice musk, vegetable oils, lard, and butter. Bob Allen Is Starring On Lawrence High Team Son of Jayhawker Coach Plays Guard and Is High Scorer for Used Bob is a junior this year and a regular guard on the Lawrence team which rates as one of the strongest in the league. He's also in the high point man for the Lions in their six games. He drives in hard for setups and is a "dead-eye dick" on shots from the floor on which he can even the slightest chance to get set. A name well-known to basketball followers appears in the box scores of games played by Lawrence High School. The boy and the boy in question is Bob Allen, youngest son of the nationally-known Jayawkher coach, Dr. F. C. "Phog" However, despite his scoring ability, it is in floor work and ball handling that he stands out. In these departments his work is little short of semenation, he often goes away from him or to knock it out of his hands even when such tactics as running into him are used. He handles the ball coolly and with precision and his feeding of the forwards is as brilful as his brother, Milton, Jawharve star. Bob is also a football player and was a regular end for the Lions this past season. He was outstanding as a pass officer and worked well on the defense. Bob has unusually good control of his temper, failing to get mad even when roughed continually. He is nevertheless quick and sharp; he fell low ball and his defensive work is decidedly above average. Not only is his defensive play effective but it has been highly legal. In the first five games Lawrence played he committee He is 6 feet tall and still growing and weighs around 155 pounds. alr weights leabnt las poludls. Last year Bebo had a good deal of action as a first string reserve and he was also a leader into the starting lineup several times. He did especially well in the state tournament. Previous to this he played two years as a regular on the Lawence Junior High team. Textbooks Allen may be moved to a forward post the second semester as one of the regular Lion lions will be lost by graduation at that time. He should really start scoring if such a move is made.
