Allen Offers New Plan for Shooting Goals After Fouls
Proposed Changes in Rules Would Speed Up Game Kansas Man Tells Committee
The principal advantage claimed for the proposed change is the saving of time now required for the "parade" of players and officials to the opposite end of the court when the foul is made by one of the players attacking the goal.
A suggestion for change in basketball rules, designed to save time of players and officials, and also to minimize the value of the free throw by preventing a tip-in shot to follow a missed free throw, has been formally submitted to the Basketball Rules committee by Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas, and coach of basketball.
Dr. Allen's suggestion is that free throws shall be made in the same end of the court in which the foul is made. If the goal is imade,theballgoesup. If the goal is made, the ball goes up at center as a jump ball; if it is missed, the ball is not in play, and the ball goes up at center as a jump ball, with time 'in' from the time the ball misses.
Dr. Allen points out also that free throw shots made in the opponent's end of the court would really have less value, since there would be no object in missing the free throw in order to get a tip-in shot and two points.
Under present rules in event the goal is missed, the offended team usually recovers the ball in the far end of the court from its goal, and must resume the march back to where the foul occurred.
The proposed rule in no way conflicts with the present rule as explained in a question-and-answer footnote. Rule nine of the present code provides that a field goal shall count for the team into whose basket it is thrown, but a free throw made into the wrong basket may be disregarded, and the offended player given another shot in the proper basket. It is the duty of the referee to see that the free throws are made in the proper basket.
Dr Allen first made his suggestion at the meeting of the rules committee in New York, where it was suggested that this, like several other proposed changes, should be referred to committees for examination, study, and report next year. Accordingly, Dr. Allen has been reported by examples and reasons, and has sent it to the secretary of the rules committee.
"There seems to be no good reason why this suggestion should operate against the better points of the game, and there are many reasons why it should be considered seriously for the more efficient mechanism of the game, as well as an added spectator enjoyment," says Dr. Allen.

Spring Basketball Starts
Thirteen Men Report to Dr. Allen for First Practice
Thirteen of the twenty-five men invited by Coach F. C. Allen to participate in spring basketball practice reported to the first session last night. Three lettermen, two of whom are eligible for competition next year attended last night's practice period. They were Ray Ebling, Wilmer莎ffer, and Ernie Vanek. Vanek is the only one of this trio who completed his varsity competition this year. Other men reporting last night were all members of Coach "Frosty" Cox's freshman squad. Those present were Dave Lutton, John Grist, Bob Holmer, Al Wlhausen, Frendra Cliff Barrett, Jim Landes, Bob Wilhelm, Roy Lovey, and Sid Rice.
These spring workouts are being held three nights each week, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., under the direction of Coach Allen and assistant coach Cox, and will be continued until final examinations start.

Work of Renovating Field to Be Started Early Next Week
Formation of Varsity Baseball Team Planned
Interest in a University varsity baseball team was "heightened here today with an announcement from the athletic office that definite agreements had been made with Del Davidson, stadium superintendent, to renovate the entire baseball diamond and get it in shape for varsity games.
No games have been definitely scheduled as yet, but it is understood that Dr. F. C. Allen thinks it highly probable that several games will be played with Kansas State on a home and home basis, and that the University will enter a team in the Big Six baseball tournament at Columbia, providing it is held again this year.
Work on the diamond is to be started as soon as convenient with Mr. Davidson, either Saturday of this week or next Monday. The work is to be done by students interested in reviving baseball as a major University sport. Roy Klaas, manager of the inter-University baseball league, said that several of the players had already offered to donate their services.
Meanwhile, the schedule of inter-
University games which have been

going on for approximately three weeks,
will be postponed, possibly to be revived after work on the diamond is completed.
Freshmen will be excluded from participation in the games with other Big Six schools, but will be urged to come out regularly in order to help in the formation of a strong varsity team for next year and to provide competition for the men who are eligible to participate this year.
